Right now, it's a buyer's market on Stubhub and the like. If you don't care about cheap seats, most games the rest of the year are like 15 bucks.

You ever think about how, in most cases, "Why is X happening" can be answered with "money"?

Biked 13 miles or so along the Jones Falls Trail today, which is probably the most I've done in at least two years. Made it out alive, so it's a win.

Lots of siren activity along North Avenue right now, in the direction of Penn North, I think? Anyone on Baltimore Bluesky know what's going on?

Finished a proposal to host a conference on our campus next spring. It's a really good reminder that patience is, in fact, a virtue.

By the way, if you want a vastly different experience, make the trip out to Great Basin if you haven't already!

And don't forget that all 4th graders and their families (!) all get free passes to all US national parks for one full year

I didn't start camping and hiking, really, until I was 31, but let me tell you:

America is fucking gorgeous, man. And there's so fucking much of it. I've been to 11 national parks, and there are 52 more left to see. And that's to say nothing of all the smaller places of historical and natural note.

That is a good idea and I will be purchasing that

You should encourage folks to buy an annual America the Beautiful parks pass! Only 80 bucks, and it's totally worth it for how much is really out there

Imagine having the core of talent Mike Elias has and finding yourself selling off like this. Just complete baseball malpractice in Baltimore over the past year.

Tough baseball day for fans whose teams wear orange and black, huh?

John Malkovich brought his A-game in Opus. I have not seen a single other post about this movie, but I believe it's worth checking it.

Just saw a post that used the word "woke-capture" as if that means anything at all.

Oh, by the way, the post was from the United States Department of Education. So that's where we are right now.

"The Art of Fielding" is probably my favorite book.

Black baseball is part of a rich and ongoing tradition in Baltimore. Here are the faces of its birth, life, and revival. On June 28, in front of a sea of people in orange and black, a Baltimore baseball star walked up to the mound at Oriole Park.  With every step Kendall Montgomery-Buckson took toward the mound, he echo...

Baseball in Baltimore stems from a rich tradition. From the youth level, to high school college, and the pros — Black baseball is thriving in the city.

I really need to get back into writing, man. Too many things to do and see and whatnot. They don't warn you strongly enough about that when you're a kid.

[Independence Day alien voice] Release... me... noooooowwww...

The blue guy looked mildly interesting.

I'm ketchup, motherfucker; mustard.

Coby Mayo, to baseballs:

Attempting to return home internet equipment to Verizon, an ongoing process that has now me taken two months, is both a far more complicated ordeal than it needs to be and a microcosm of the modern customer service experience.

He crossed the border for a better life. He returned to Mexico in a casket The farmworker who suffered fatal injuries while fleeing an immigration raid in Ventura County was buried in his Mexican hometown.

You know things are grim when the U.S. Department of Energy is posting AI slop imagery to crow with its "dominance" schtick.

Grover and Mr Johnson on Sesame Street

when the sketch starts with Grover playing a waiter you know it's going down

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

When you throw a dead fly in the trash you’re laying it to rest amongst a great fortune like a pharaoh

Been reading this for the first time recently. Intense and brutal. Very interested in seeing how Francis Lawrence adapts it for the big screen.

The heat index in Baltimore is currently 110 degrees, which, first, hoo boy. Stay cool; stay hydrated. This is tougher than the dry 110 back home in Fresno.

Between this and the recent Dave Roberts thing, I hope that coaches who appear to want to pretend that there's nothing more going on these days than their fun little games are going to find that harder to do. You're a person, too, man, and livelihoods are at stake! This is only going to look worse!
