I honestly didn’t remember Nate Eaton wasn’t with the Royals last year.

…would still be first on and pick your seat. And the “perk” of front rows for “priority seating” a little extra legroom, and some pistachios is honestly pretty dumb.

Next trip had a flight canceled and they automatically put me on other flights, which was fine, but now I was in middle seats. I get that’s something that happens on other airlines, but the special thing about Southwest had been if something like that happened and you were A-list, you …

My first 2 experiences with the “new” Southwest have not been good either. And I use them almost exclusively, am A List, have the card. First trip had a window seat and a preboarder was placed in the middle seat. Had to have her get up so I could get in, which was not easy for her…

A squirrel huddles on my deck during a storm nestled between the edge and a slat. There is room for the squirrel because one slat is missing.

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm

Williamson county, for the first time I’m aware of, required precinct only voting today. We went to our usual spot and saw a handmade sign on the door about what precincts could vote there today. Had to do some serious research just to find our precinct and the website said we had two options, and neither of them was where we were. Drove to the first and it was a closed dentist’s office and clearly not a place to vote. There were tons of people driving slowly through the parking lot obviously looking for the same thing. Finally found the place we could vote, but waited an hour before we could even confirm we were in the right spot- the only spot in the county for our precinct to vote in the democratic primary. Took 3.5 hours. Voting has always been a simple, smooth, quick process here. Definitely felt like they were trying to make us give up today. And everyone was so confused.

Just realized Denny Matthews is on my plane to Phoenix. Unfortunately I have to continue on to the Bay Area for work and won’t get to take in any #Royals baseball.

Pete went to Princeton and Harvard and somehow was unaffected by those wicked ideologies or by their academics.

Horrifyingly familiar. It is clear to me now that being soulless & cruel is, for millions of people, their default factory setting. Only imposing strong laws, unbending norms, & personal consequences will hold their worse impulses in check.

And then we risk becoming monsters ourselves.

Why isn’t jorts a word? Luckily I still somehow had the letters for another denim product.

Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

Elon's racist little post made me mad enough to write about it at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

The fact that we need to keep getting the context of who appointed the judge really shows how fucked up our justice system has become. But good on Nancy Brasel.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

Totally a guess, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Darryn Peterson’s advisors are using simulations/AI to determine probable effect of his playing or not on his draft stock.
