On further reflection, I’m not sure whether Bluesky or Threads will be my final destination. Might as well follow me both places if you find yourself there … The handle’s the same.

Hot take: If third base coach Vance Wilson doesn’t get himself ejected earlier, Hampton scores there to tie the game. #Royals.

In Missouri, a week after polls showed bipartisan support for an abortion rights measure, legal efforts to pull it off the ballot reach their zenith—including by the very official who certified it as ballot-ready. #moleg.

That’s a win for sure, but so was @goldbergkc’s investigative reporting during the game about the wing-flapping celebrations directed at the Royals’ bullpen catcher….

#Royals win 6-1, tie the Guardians for first place, marking only the second day they’ve been in first this season. Paul DeJong HR but the story was the bullpen. Michael Lorenzen left in the second w/a hamstring injury. Hernandez, McArthur, Schreiber, Long & Stratton 7.1IP 2H 1R.

Earnest, journalistically oriented tweets on government and politics = a few hundred views total. Half-joking fan tweets about sporting events and weather delays = thousands of views within minutes. Message received.

Count me among those who are suspicious about the decision to delay the game with the Guardians losing and a half inning before it became a legal game … when the rain didn’t really start in earnest for 20+ minutes. #Royals.
