You "like posting?" How many posts have you made consecutively with zero engagement at all?

Fuck you, you aren't in it for the love of the game alone, you're one of those validation seekers.

Curious why #BusterPosey would kick a #KidsCamp, which only operates during the summer, off his newly acquired ranch land in Mendocino County, when he'll be busy doing other things during that time. 🤔

Maybe Posey isn't "Mr. Wonderful" all of the time. Few of us are.🤷‍♂️

As predicted, Kyle Harrison will start tomorrow in the 2nd game vs the #Nationals taking Verlander's spot in the rotation after he was placed on the 15 day IR list.

The Giants called up Tristan Beck from AAA Sac to take Harrison's place in the bullpen.

Beck has been called up to The Show before & has been tested but I think they should have given the Whisenhut, their AAA hot prospect, at shot.

It would only be for a few innings and most over the next 2 wks, assuming Verlander comes back by then, & it would give them a chance to see how he throws vs 1st string hitters. A missed opportunity IMO.

Oh well . . . 🤷‍♂️

The Giants beat the #Nationals 4-0.

A win is a win but when you look closely, it wasn't all that impressive.

The Giants scored only 2 runs in the top of the 7th when they got 5 walks & only 1 hit. The hit scored 1 run & another run was walked in with the bases loaded.

The Giants did between in the top of the 8th when they scored their other 2 runs, getting 3 singles in a row to score 1 & scored the other run on a WP with the bases loaded.

On the downside, the Giants left the bases loaded in both innings. So, they could have scored many more runs in those innings.

On the plus side, Roup (who got the win) pitched a great game shutting out the Nats for 6 innings. Rodriguez, Miller & Doval did the rest.

On a side note, what's up with Ramos. He got a single in the top of the 9th (his only hit of the game) but got picked off to end the inning.

This at least the 3rd time that I've seen Ramos get picked off running. i hope someone is talking to him about this.

Go Giants!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

Ethan Hunt learns that an earlier mission led to what's happening in the world today. The Entity, an artificial intelligence introduced in the last Mission Impossible film, would like to destroy the world and preserve itself. Ethan is once again tasked with an impossible mission.

What's great about the film is that it's not only an homage to all the prior Mission Impossible films, it also includes references to the original series. As with the source material, not everything goes as planned. There's revelations, new characters, unfortunate situations, and plenty of incredible stunts. What's even more incredible, you don't need familiarity with the prior film. Everything you need to know is explained at the beginning.

This is why I love going to the movies. Total popcorn film.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie

Stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett

All the paywalls and publishers wonder why people aren’t reading their content.

I get they need money. But they should get that subscribing for a month to read one article is a non-starter.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
@Natasha_Jay I know why Leon isn't helping.
@ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay
Tell me about Elon, Leon.
@bruce And now I'm reminded of the fake movie poster for Elon: The Unprofessional. (Although if anyone did make it, it would have to be a documentary instead of a thriller.)
@wesdym Played by Toby Stephens.

@ahltorp @wesdym

Toby Stephens, the younger son of actors Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens,[1] was born on 21 April 1969 in London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Stephens#Early_life_and_education

i did not know that!

Toby Stephens - Wikipedia

@amiserabilist @ahltorp @wesdym Trivial oddity:

Toby played the supervillain in "Die Another Day," and also played Bond in a collection of full-cast radio dramas. Not sure if any other actors have played both Bond and his nemesis.

@raganwald

he was good looking enough to be bond.

@ahltorp @wesdym

@amiserabilist On radio, anyway, heh.
@amiserabilist Seriously, though, he's a looker. I felt like that film was at least slightly aware of its potential subtle gay subtext.
@wesdym @amiserabilist I accept that by Bond standards, it’s subtle.
@bruce @ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay Same letters! Now it all makes sense!
Sort of.
@nichni @ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay
We should make Musk take the Voight-Kampff test.
@bruce @nichni @Natasha_Jay He hates empathy. He would *want* to fail.
@Natasha_Jay Tesla's mother? Let me tell you about Tesla's mother..
@Natasha_Jay I wish Musk could only breathe so long as someone didn't unplug him, like Holden.

@Natasha_Jay What an amazing invention

A car you can set on fire by spraying it with a hose

@Natasha_Jay
Omygawd, I'm tearing off my left arm skin and there are wiring and cylinders underneath.

@Natasha_Jay
I'm *dying* of laughter.

That was brilliant.

@Natasha_Jay You’re not helping, are you, Elon?
@Natasha_Jay Unlike the inverted incel camino, I felt bad for Leon.

@Natasha_Jay

It looks better this way. I say leave it where it is, as a monument to stupidity.

@Natasha_Jay damn, one must be a special kind to be able to turn such a heavy vehicle on its back, truly amazing.
@tshirtman I don't know a lot about this vehicle's structure or weight balance, but it might have a high centre of gravity that makes this easier; many SUVs and small trucks do. It's also able to generate enough speed to roll itself if you hit something tall enough. In a judo way, its own weight can help with that.
@wesdym yeah, many SUVs are balanced worse than normal cars, and maybe this one is, too, it's not like it has a reputation of being well designed.
@tshirtman I think drivers are part of it, too. When I got a Wrangler years ago, lots of people warned me they could flip, and I was genuinely worried. But I eventually figured out while it does have a higher-than-usual centre of gravity, the problem was really more about the kinds of people who typically drove them.

@wesdym @tshirtman

No problem here then, those are famously driven by very careful and safe drivers.

@Natasha_Jay did the satnav think it was in australia?
@Natasha_Jay I thought for a moment that it was a robot mower like the one I turned over in Finland!
@Natasha_Jay WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT HELPING?
@Natasha_Jay ST OP STOP LMFAO OH MY GODDDD I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE ENNUI OF FAILING THE TEST
@Natasha_Jay Very nice. Both Voight & Kampff would be proud of you. 😀

@Natasha_Jay Post of the day, if not the week.

@KateOfMind You need to get out more.
