You know, @mlb.com, lotta baseball fans here on Bluesky, the official sports app and a lot of great posting.
And it’s just too bad you’re not here, too.
Oh well.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

A great way to promote more understanding of climate change is through film.
There's no plan to prevent human trafficking during LA's megaevents and the World Cup starts in 100 days.
I talked to survivors, advocates, legal advisors, academics, and elected officials who are all sounding the alarm about how this will put LA's most vulnerable communities in even more danger
Ah yes, Mr Tough Guy With A Bullshit Story now breaks the bone of a fellow vet protesting this latest chapter in the Forever War.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:
Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.
don’t wait until the last minute
RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state House seat in Arkansas.
This is their 2nd flip of a legislative seat so far in 2025 (after a Texas flip in January), & it adds to a tremendous trend that started last year, when they flipped 21% of all GOP-held seats in play: boltsmag.org/legislative-...
Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states
The U.S. war on Iran is estimated to have already cost taxpayers over $2 billion dollars.
Fun(?) fact, the only reason LA got the Olympics in 1984 and gained a tremendous amount of leverage with the IOC was because there was only one other city bidding: Tehran. The city withdrew from the bid process in 1978 amidst that era's Iranian revolution
As I covered in Torched last week, EU officials are boycotting the Paralympics because the IPC (which is different from IOC) is allowing athletes from Russia to compete under their own flag. The IOC had banned Russia from competition for violating the Olympic Truce by invading Ukraine in 2022
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
all of my parents' log-in info & passwords too which helps (I use the manager 1Password). I'm able to look at their email or deal with medical stuff online so they don't have to. It's a small price to pay for avoiding bigger issues. But it really is a challenge...& takes so much effort...
if she needs to know more. (So many of those send money or gift card scams have happened to her friends, & even to my sister's colleagues!) Or literally send me the email first. We've talked about how FB will never email her anything she needs to do...if there's an issue I will handle it. I have
(type in the address herself) & then purchase. And honestly, about half the time now I buy her stuff for her, she sends me messages about what she wants (takes a photo of her iPad usually). Also, she's on alert for anything that sounds fishy from a friend or relative. She will ignore emails or call
One of the big things is we don't click through and buy anything off Facebook anymore. Her bank stopped the last fraudulent charge, it was for a favorite brand of socks. She thought she was getting a good deal. Since then we've talked about how it's important to go to the website
My mother will forward me suss emails or call about suss texts or calls...it has taken WORK & a few near misses to get her to do this. I am so glad she's accepting of advice & help. I hope others will be too.
1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:
Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.
Its a horrifying escalation.
The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

“War should never be normal. We don’t know where this one will lead, but we do know that it has already killed untold civilians — including dozens of girls who did nothing but go to school. The desensitization of Americans to this kind of violence is part of what is broken in our society.”
I really enjoy The Night Agent but I adored Terriers. Would have watched 10 seasons of it. Still have the theme song on a playlist...
What the world really needed in this future hellscape we all live in is “more armored AI food delivery robots”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Death toll in US-Israeli strike on girls' school in southern Iran rises to 40 killed, state-run IRNA news agency reports.
I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

I've been looking at the LA28 logo a lot more than usual over the last few weeks and I had some questions. Once I show you the problems with having 50+ variations of a logo, this information will haunt you for the next two years as you see these graphics spattered across the city
