MLB giving us what nobody asked for.

This would probably be a good use of a sick day.

I have good news for him. Being an Orioles fan is a very similar experience.

Very late to the party, but I love how Rick Riordan got grief for writing the "pagan" Percy Jackson books, then doubled down with a Muslim main character working for Norse gods in the Magnus Chase books, and then he added a gender fluid main character, as a treat. Delightful.

A light gold Golden Retriever sacked out in a floral armchair.

Somebody somewhere needs a snoozing Golden Retriever picture.

If the jug is blessed does that transfer to the water? How many refills before the blessing wears off? Does a Bishop's blessing have more staying power than that of a mere priest? If I use water from the blessed jug to make bread is it preconsecrated? Schisms have happened over less.

Plastic gallon jug three quarters filled with water. The store label reads "distilled water pure life." In black marker are the words "blessed" on the side of the jug and "holy" on the top.

The argument always boils down to "men are too weak and stupid to do better." It's so tiresome, and frankly offensive.

"This whole 'gotta have the 10 commandments in school' thing...chaplain, I like your idea better - what you called Jesus's 'be-attitudes'. I can just see their faces now. And if they'd...well,..... if we'd ALL, follow THOSE Bible words... then we'd be Jesus people like we say we are."- HS student

This is amazing news. Even with a long road ahead, at least you know what road to take. Fingers crossed for you.

My Spanish teacher showed us El Norte. It was . . . not appropriate for a class of high school freshmen.

Explaining that the Piscataway people value living in right relation, treating the land, the waters, and all that lived there as kin. Students are nodding along. It makes perfect sense to them.

One vaccine may provide broad protection against many respiratory infections and allergens Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues invented a new vaccine that protects mice from respiratory viruses, bacteria and allergens — the closest yet to a universal vaccine.

I just watched a DVD extra from A League of Their Own where they said that someone brought in a slip-n-slide to teach the actors to slide into the bases. They stopped after three women got concussions. I hope the professional athletes are better at protecting their heads.

On a trays of seedling pots filled with rich moist soil a single small bright-green sprout peaks out.

Five days after planting the first tiny sprouts appear. Manominx (wild rice) is a keystone species. These sprouts will grow into food and habitat for wetland creatures. www.wisconsinwetlands.org/updates/mano...

It was useless, and then suddenly everyone had to be there and then it became trash. The cycle of the internet continues.

Solar and wind power, advances in medicine like vaccines and next gen antibiotics, the things that make my dishwasher work better with less water, whatever robotics company can make an automatic vacuum that doesn't choke on dog hair.

A rack of small black pots filled with soil, lit by four full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs, sits in a classroom. In the foreground, a plastics tub labeled "wild rice Chesapeake Bay watershed"

Teacher hazards: sometimes the grow lights get spicy and try to electrocute you. (I reseated the offending bulb and it's behaving better now.)

Manominx -wild rice - was a food staple for the Piscataway people indigenous to my region. It provides shelter for wetland species and food for wild birds.

The plants we're growing in class will be planted in local wetlands.

I learned one style for high school, one for undergrad, and two for my two different grad programs. I remain mad that we couldn't just pick one and stick with it.

Stephen Colbert Says CBS Blocked James Talarico Interview Over FCC ‘Equal Time’ Fears Stephen Colbert revealed CBS lawyers blocked his 'Late Show' interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico over FCC equal time rule concerns.

MAGA is terrified of James Talarico because they know that the average American voter agrees with him more than they agree with MAGA. MAGA can't win on issues. All they have is intimidation. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

A teal water bottle with orange accents labeled with a blue sticky note that reads "A platypus? Perry the Platypus!?"

I labeled a coworker's water bottle. She didn't get the reference. That's okay. My jokes are just for me.

Accounts that follow me even though they have not interacted with any of my posts get blocked. I'm nobody! Even my mutuals don't read my posts! I know these randos aren't really interested in me.

Flock of birds, rhymes with shop if you squint. That was my thought, anyway.

I know what a frock is, but it would never occur to me that the Ravens were trying to make that particular pun.

And when they're not being the prettiest babies, they are all the sweetest goobers.

Meanwhile, what I actually want is a robot vacuum that doesn't choke on dog hair.

A League of Their Own is a still a great movie.
