My screen name covers some of it, except the part about being a progressive, middle-aged, white guy with young kids.

Has anyone ever had a heart attack caused by watching curling, or am I going to be the first?

They talked about this moment on Gwynn & Chris today with John Kincade on the line. Baseball is awesome. And I am now a bigger Phillie fanatic than I used to be

Unfortunately the rest of us also pay the price as they cosplay things that someone once made them think will make them attractive

Revolutionary!

Isn't 38 years the unit of time known as a Bluesky?

Ergo

Curling takes a Bluesky to complete

After watching the interview I'm going to start asking people who want to break the separation of church and state "Why is your god so small?"

A list of recent Padres transactions naming Griffin Canning, Walker Buehler, German Marquez, Johny Brito, Tirso Ornelas, Nick Castellanos, Ty France

A list of recent Padres transactions naming Griffin Canning, Walker Buehler, German Marquez, Johny Brito, Tirso Ornelas, Nick Castellanos, Ty France

An advantage of being an optimist is that I can look at this list and say "Maybe Ruben can work his magic with Buehler" and "Castellanos? Well, let's see how it goes" and "Hey, Ty France is back with the team" while all the hater-type Padres fans are probably stabbing themselves with sharp objects

An ironic piece of the Colbert / Talarico thing is that our First Television Watcher probably has no idea what YouTube is. So he likely thinks he's been successful while in truth he has driven millions of people to watch what he wanted banned

It's raining for 3 days in San Diego. We knew this was coming. Not a single umbrella in sight. We are the culture of hooded-rainjackets-are-enough.

Remember, the GOP isnโ€™t afraid of voter fraud. Theyโ€™re scared of voter accuracy.

With foreign governments now investigating people based on what has been found in released files full of child abuse accusations, is it becoming unsafe for American perpetrators to travel internationally? Please?

Yes itโ€™s Valentineโ€™s Day. But itโ€™s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.
