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

I'd like to live in a country where kindness is a political virtue and politicians talk about and center people at a disadvantage and who can't stand up for themselves

I don't want a politics thats all about beating up our enemies

That looks like the view from the Hyatt that's on the pier

Now Freddie Fermin just hit what should have been a fairly routine out that ended with him on 2nd base. And Jesse and Tony are pretending like Freddie is tearing the cover off the ball. Which is weird, because all spring they have been laughing about how loose the scoring is.

Doesn't matter. I โค๏ธ BB

Pretty much everything is 'allowed' in spring training. Part of the fun

Watching the Padres Spring Training game on mlb.tv (because I'm a baseball addict). The Padres pulled Marquez in the first, and he's back in in the second. I'm pretty sure I've never seen that before

I can't believe I have to say this, but being special due to "lethal capacities" is the wrong kind of special. Being good at killing people is not something to aspire to

The shoe thing is so on brand. The number of ways that man can find to humiliate people is mind boggling. Who would think to troll people by buying them shoes? The number of (previously powerful) people who accept humiliation is also mind boggling. Apparently no one in the White House has any pride

I love the trolley. I can't wait to be riding it to Padres games in a couple of weeks

I'm a boardshorts and flipflops math nerd, but I don't need to be that to say 'yes, this is good'

Does anybody have a repository of unflattering Pete Kegsbreath pictures they can post, here? I'm wondering what he is so worried about

I hope this is the 'Nando we get all season in SD. He's been electric!

A pair bond of western gulls. The female (bigger of the two) is on the right. While gulls are usually nasty to each other, these two were downright cuddly. Another day, another new thing to see

Based on recent events I would posit the baseball gods, a persnickety bunch, to be clear, prefer Randy Arozarena over Cal Raleigh.

I want to see how Karoline Leavitt explains dead people walking around with no legs and arms.

I have seen and heard multiple ads from athletes about mental health lately. This is an initiative I support!

Pelicans, cormorants, and gulls in the surf zone on a gray day

Pelicans, cormorants, and gulls in the surf zone on a gray day

No surfers, but a whole scoop of pelicans and a gulp of cormorants in the surf zone. I don't ever recall seeing that. The pelicans are actively chasing gulls away. They must have trapped a school of tasty fish in the shallows. Everyday something new

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

Ok. Not going to debate whatever the fuck that is. Both LF and RF are too easy to reach, in my opinion. I watched a game there last year and hated it for many reasons

Admittedly, I'm being hyperbolic, but this is baseball opinion talk
