Siri: what is motivated reasoning?

Eat my shorts.

Not feeling like celebrating a Yankees elimination because my own team finally made the playoffs and lost today. This must be like when things are going decently well and you’re not laser focused on your nemesis failing.

MARINERS WIN! MARINERS WIN!!!

Never doubted it for a second.

#Mariners

Normally people don’t stress much about the odds of giving up six runs in a single inning, but I’m a Mariners fan and that’s its own kind of generational trauma.

A gentleman with a "Dump Here 61" shirt caught the Raleigh home run (on a bounce.)

GO SEE CAL! GO SEE CAL!! GO SEE CAL!!! #Mariners

Nothing but respect for MY Marty Supreme.

Bill Nye on Capitol Hill

Bill Nye is currently on the Hill to advocate against a proposed 47% cut to NASA science from the Trump admin

This is nuts.

Also, I don't mean this as optimism (on Bluesky? God forbid) but taking a leadership job for which you're unqualified in a medium you haven't worked in with nothing but experienced journalists under you...is not necessarily going to go the way one thinks it might. CBS News is not a cabinet dept.>

I get tired of reading "Do not obey in advance" here over and over--endlessly repeating something like that can turn it into a form of self-soothing rather than a galvanizing call to action. But I hope every single CBS News employee is hearing it from someone important to them today.

Full credit to the Mariners front office for showing restraint and going with “Seize The Moment”, leaving the obvious, but odious, “SEAze The Moment” on the cutting room floor.

A bad day at Black Rock.

There IS crying in baseball. ⚾️❤️🥲🔱

I’m still a Lefebvre Belebvre.

Let Brash vulture a win I don’t care.

Actually disagree on this one - the old school move would have let his starter finish the 5th to qualify for the win, not bring in his best reliever for the highest leverage out of the game.

That Speier K with 2 outs in the 5th is why Pitching Wins is the dumbest stat ever.

PBS launched #OTD in 1970.

A life-changing moment for many of us. #PBS

Very easy to convert first downs when you hold Seahawks with impunity.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

1976 undefeated.

We’re going to solve human hallucinations before AI hallucinations.

The origins of hallucinations are traced in specialized brain cells Researchers used lasers to record and stimulate the activity of neurons in mice to learn how the brain processes and interprets optical illusions.

Science appears to be a step closer to understanding how the brain generates hallucinations, raising hopes that someday they might be preventable, according to a new study.

Did a Sheriff of Nottingham tweet this?
