The #Mariners' Josh Naylor provided a nice moment Tuesday by greeting history-making umpire Jen Pawol before stepping into the box.

ISU: our scores are very manipulable just so you know
Also ISU: and there’s nothing we love more than handing it to abusers, abuse apologists, and rape deniers
The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.
Lost Hal Steinbrenner's vote when he said NYers shouldn't ask for little and expect less.

I've long thought that the Briderton series should just go with the ethos of "this society has always been racially integrated, that's just how it is. Alternate history!"
Instead they try to make pseudo-rational backstory explanations for it that are just in very poor taste.
I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.

No notes.
Ariel photograph of the AIDS Memorial Quilt stretched out on park in front of the US Capitol. Late 1980s.
These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.
Hot take!
Um, yes, I'm okay seeing a PCP before a specialist. Assuming that I ACTUALLY get to see a specialist without having to pay a specialist out of pocket, plus literally thousands of dollars for testing that my HMO wouldn't do even though they should have done it.
Ask me how I know.
This pretty much happens for every major piece of queer media. There are variations, to be sure, but A LOT of this is pretty much copy and pasted from like three other properties.
Jenn's my agent, and she knows what she's talking about as well as anyone else in the industry. Read her Tumblr!
Ad-driven social media platforms pushing baked goods on me gives me a small bit of hope that maybe these platforms don't know me as well as I fear.
Becuase I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.
Writing question: Do the kids today know what Rick-rolling is?
“How are sales?”
Question: Is it possible to enjoy Heated Rivalry if you don't gaf about hockey?
We're officially in Hanukkah season, so I will promote RACHEL FRIEDMAN AND EIGHT NOT-PERFECT NIGHTS OF HANUKKAH. If you know a kid that celebratrates Hanukkah and is reading chapter books, please consider!
Hanukkah is a holiday for fun and shenanigans.

The AI slop situation on Facebook is truly out of hand.
I now REGULARLY see shit that has so-called "Aaron Judge quotes" accompanied by pictures of regular-sized, generic white guys.
Is that what AI thinks Aaron Judge looks like?!
Today on Threads, I learned that Wicked ruined The Wizard of Oz.
In other news, pizza ruined chicken teriyaki and football ruined rhythmic gymnastics.
I'm preparing a presentation on writing for middle-schoolers next week, and I decided to go all in on "Wicked."
Truly, everything you need to know about basic character development and conflict can be found in "What is This Feeling."

Another Game of Wool thought: Sorry, but the judge literally crying over fiber arts is incomprehensible.
I don't even get THAT emotional when I see items from my late grandma, and I loved her more than almost anyone in the universe.
Getting weepy over a porthole? Just, why?
Are you in Northern Cali? Please consider adopting this wonderful buddy
Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.
Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.
Catching up on #stickergate. I think my first question is, how did people not know this was a hoax from the moment an AOL email address entered the story?
What I cannot respect is Mariners fans complaining about alleged pro-Yankees bias and then in the next breath claiming that Raleigh should get extra credit just because the Mariners were so mediocre for so long.
