Forget “Enter the Sandman” or Timmy Trumpet.

The coolest closer entrance in MLB history is “The Rubberband Man” by The Spinners for #Pittsburgh #Pirates closer Kent Tekulve. 😎

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

If you were ever at the Cricket between 1996 and 2000, you know. 🍒 🦗

The first album I ever bought (at Peaches in Denver 🍑) was Neil Sedaka’s Greatest Hits. I was eight. #RIP

people are taking this as an anti-ABS post and not as it was intended: "the average baseball fan has completely fried their brains on rage-bait accounts that screenshot gameday strike zones and are in a constant state of frothing madness about umpires"

please be respectful

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

Desperate times, desperate margaritas.

A Pittsburgh Welcome (1921)

Former residents of Pittsburgh turned Minneapolis residents presented a silver cup to welcome new 3rd baseman, Bill McKechnie, to the Millers team.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

Crop of original image. Daytime street level image of a sign reading SAINT PAUL CITY LIMITS mounted on two poles with some decorative metal work surrounding. The letters appear to have embedded light bulbs within them. A large key is suspended from the sign. Surrounding the sign are utility poles, a lamp post, a hydrant and a row of billboards advertising Stetson hats and bananas. A man stands looking squarely toward the camera underneath a CAR STOP sign. Several other figures are seen in the distant background, and a couple of parked cars. The date cited appears as a stamp on the image (not shown) which is a photoprint. The full image, linked, shows the full streetscape including the Prospect Park Water Tower. Archivist’s description: Looking northwest down University Avenue into Minneapolis. Note small "welcome to Minneapolis" sign.

Did you hear the one about the Minnesotan of Scandinavian descent who loved his wife so much he almost told her? ♥️

For no particular reason, thinking about how the Minneapolis Aquatennial was concocted by business men in 1940 to water down the memory of a 1934 Union victory that happened in spite of violent and deadly opposition

When you’ve seen the polling

WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins.

But also, bad people in relationships? The fucking worst.

“I don’t think you have to be a bad person to be bad in a relationship,” is something I just heard and, well, ain’t that the truth.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store
