 I will forward believe that the “dean scream” was a coordinated media hit orchestrated by Hillary and her backers. He got excited once and all the sudden it was the only thing everyone on every 24 hour news channel would talk about. Couldn’t have happened in today’s media environment. 
 It will be funny if turning the racism dial just slightly too far to the right is what finally gets trump.  
 I remember I saw some random TikTok of a guy walking into a subway sandwich shop and hoping behind the counter. “It’s cool I work here.” Making himself a sandwich and leaving. Like bro what? 
 Seen this couple’s costume and it’s a girl in a pink t-shirt with a Benadryl logo and the boyfriend is dressed all in black standing behind her with his arms around her. Is he supposed to be seasonal allergies? I don’t get it.
 
 Much like in sports, anytime the owner of a newspaper becomes the biggest story that’s very bad.  
 If the Dodgers win it all tonight on a bullpen game it will make every old school baseball head so mad. I love it 
 It’s pretty clear that Jeff Bezos bought WaPo for the same reason that Elon bought twitter. Jeff has just been more subtle about it, until now. 
 The great irony of baseball is that the pitcher is either trying to throw a strike that looks like a ball so the hitter won’t swing at it or a ball that looks like a strike so he’ll swing and miss.

Sometimes the pitcher does such a good job he confuses the ump too.  
 I’m not going to read the Bezos op-ed I don’t need to give that dipshit the benefit of my attention. 
 I’m not even mad at Kopeck for giving up those runs. The Yankees have some sort of special magic that guarantees they get runs against the bullpen. Not exactly thrilled for this bullpen game tomorrow though. 
 ROBOT UMPS! 
 Yankee fans will get no argument from me that these umps have been garbage all night. 
 Me at Cousins right now

 What a play! 
 Damn I thought Judge might had that one. 
 He was safe damnit! 
 Ice Cube was way better. 
 Billionaires by their very existence are a threat to democracy if you are getting your news from a billionaire you are being manipulated.  
 If you vote for trump I hope every time you go to take a shit you realize (too late) that there is no toilet paper. 
 Republican PACs are sending mailers pretending to be democrats with Adam Schiff and Kamala on the front and then “vote no on 32 and 33” on the inside 
Dems are yes on 32 and yes on 33

 Dodgers walked it off with bases loaded both ways we love our Hollywood endings. 
 Was walking my dog so I missed the top of the 3rd. Figure oh well we can get this lead back. Boy did they ever! 
 Edman again. LFG! 
 Who up still up because the Dodgers won game 1 of the World Series? 
 That was a solid win the Dodgers took thier best punch and snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat. Hopefully Yamamoto can keep it rolling in game 2! 
 In hindsight the Yankees lost that game in the 7th when they burned their closer before the ninth. The Dodgers had the advantage in extras because of that. 
 Me: Freddie you don’t gotta be a hero here just find the outfield grass

Freddie: I hear what you’re saying but I got this bum ankle. 
 ROBOT UMPS! 
 We live and die by the Tommy Edman 
 I feel like they shouldn’t let fans sit in places where they can interfere with play.  
 Tommy is on fire this game!  
 It’s only one run we can get it back! 
 The trump Word Series ad is just full mask off transphobia. I didn’t think I could still be shocked by him but, holy shit! 
 The masculine urge to explain things. 
 This is some good copium. The headline says GOP is leading in early voting but the actual numbers show that 1.1 million democrats have voted while only 709k republicans have. A larger percentage of republicans voters have voted early which actually makes these numbers worse not better. https://nostrcheck.me/media/65662e40bab4490b82ff5d0aea68076597a23da000f5f17d6289ef5441316c00/ceaec7f448607ffabe81647137efe9baf5412511318561eb0907047816a00d71.webp https://nostrcheck.me/media/65662e40bab4490b82ff5d0aea68076597a23da000f5f17d6289ef5441316c00/7d9f0c757f8c8725daf90fda5c92dd877c66a87929cce4575a545e9440691105.webp 
 If Bezos was willing to veto his editor over a Kamala Harris endorsement imagine what he would be willing to do for news critical of amazon working conditions or environmental policies etc.  
 Democracy dies when money is speech and billionaires exist. 
 Figured I’d get started here by following everyone I could find who has LA Kings or Dodgers fan in their bio. 
 Set up a nostr account not sure if that was a good idea or not. I’m at luxenjoyer on there.  
 I’m so cool I wish I were me! 
 I just started using this app for Bluesky and mastodon. Figured I’d give nostr a chance as well. Creating an account was easy. This app is very easy to use. Great work!
