This is a DELIGHTFUL interchange. Super insightful to post this, knowing how interesting it is. Thanks!!

This Canada/Cuba game is already the best Chaos Ball imaginable!! Naylor being Naylor is 3 level chess!!!

Thanks for the clips!

Thanks Molly! So nice to not need to -3 hours every game.

I absolutely agree! He’s a great partner to Rick, encouraging stories, and a nice counter to Gary, who tends to try to fill every second. Charlie is great, hope he gets the second seat permanently.

Felix Fernandez in an old Mariners commercial, in fake wig and glasses saying his name is Larry Bernandez, so he can pitch 2 days in a row.

Not a bit

Thanks Shannon! Great pick me up on a dreary, cold day in the PNW. Keep the vids coming!

Take the wins where you can!

Some fans will hate the #Mariners bringing back Mitch Garver on a minor-league deal. But...

Whether Garver or Cal Raleigh was catching in 2025, the M's staff experienced similar outcomes in areas a pitcher/catcher tandem can influence: walks, strikeouts, quality of contact.

I love it! Comfortable continuity for the pitching staff, understands his role behind Raleigh, familiar face/strong presence in the clubhouse. Given the unknowns slated in the backup role, and your stats above, it’s a W.

We are going to win. Because we are stronger together and because love is more powerful than hate.

(I am going to go cry now)

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

In danger of being a broken record a bit but really, truly, take comfort and strength in knowing this *is* most of us. It’s true it should be all of us and it sucks it’s not. But most everyone hates this stuff.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.

They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.

Stay vigilant.
Stay united.
Keep fighting.
We will win.

When the people fear their government that's fascism. When the government fears the people that democracy. Let's get that back NOW.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This is hypothetically good news, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

You certainly deserve such a night! Thanks for all you do!!

Charge them.

Oh, but didn’t I just read that Walz said that Homan said this thing was about finished? “a trust-but-verify situation.”?

As if anything from anyone in this administration can be trusted. The “just terrible suffering caused by the federal government” will continue. Thanks for the updates.
