I am actually, legitimately surprised.

The cynic in me feels like the Court ruled this way just to maintain a very thin veneer of impartiality, and to expect some truly horrendous, blatantly partisan decisions very soon.

a black and white photo of a man sitting in a chair with his head on a pillow . Alt: Gul Dukat (played by Marc Alaimo in 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'), reclining in a chair with his head back, laughing evilly. Yeas, I know Dukat wasn't ever actually a member of the Obsidian Order, but Garak doesn't look as evil as Dukat.

All I'm getting from this is that you're a member of the Obsidian Order now.

Get you a partner as wonderful as @spoiledprincess.bsky.social, who will go out of their way to mail-order for you a box of #stroopwafels from a specific bakery in your hometown just because they know they're your favorite.

She's amazing.

And these stroopwafels are, too.

Tired of hearing "Minneapolis won" or "Minnesota won." No. We lost bigtime. Our state government failed to activate the National Guard to do anything more than serve donuts and coffee. State/local cops aided the enemy. It was only the citizenry's refusal to capitulate that's driving ICE off.

Why wouldn't "I wanted to" be an acceptable reason? Why would anyone need to justify their reasons to you?

Now that I've looked it up, it was Colorado that drafted him, not Chicago, and he opted not to sign, instead pitching at U. of Washington.

Also discovered that 3 other guys from my high school have been drafted (2 before, and 1 after), but none of them actually went on to sign.

I don't want to take anything away from the Swiss men's #curling team, because they shot an amazing game.

But I absolutely couldn't make any sense out of what #TeamUSA was trying to do. The shot-making was already sub-par, but even the shot-calling was… befuddling.

The guy who was drafted stands out because in my home state (Montana), baseball isn't even a varsity sport in high school, so anyone serious enough to want to play competitively at that age has to rely on playing in the American Legion system, or spend a LOT of money to play on travel teams.

Who's the most famous alum of your high school?

One guy got drafted by the Chicago White Sox (didn't make it very far).

One girl (whom I had been friendly with in some community theater productions) was later arrested for breaking into a big movie star's house after she'd been stalking him.

This was well done by @jacobfeldman.bsky.social (it's very helpful.

But also.... maybe leagues and networks shouldn't make this so confusing to the point where a full 16-box flow chart is required to figure out how to watch baseball.

The cover for Digital Underground's masterpiece 1990 album, 'Sex Packets'. It feature's Shock G and crew posed in dark clothes and sunglasses in a black and white photo. The album title on top is in all caps with a blue glow. Shock G (in a zebra-striped hat) is presenting the viewer with a blue-glowing "Sex Packet", about the same size as a condom wrapper.

Acknowledging that (A) I am no expert (nobody take my opinion seriously) and (B) @rollingstone.com's various "200 Greatest [genre] Albums of All-Time" lists are comically flawed in many ways:

Digital Underground's 'Sex Packets' (1990) is ridiculously under-ranked at #114 on their #HipHop list.

I just wish it were easier to get curling content regularly.

I used to play (I wasn't any good, but I did it), and it just gets into you. Absent a extant (and solvent) club down here in Florida, just having it on TV would go a long way for me.

Seen tonight, slapped up on the window of an empty storefront in Ybor City, Tampa.

That's some good old-fashioned motivation if I ever saw it.
