Funny and not so funny games

Yesterday afternoon the SF Giants blew their first 6 run ninth inning lead in franchise history to the Cincinnati Reds

Today, they held to a five run lead in the ninth against the Arizona Diamondbacks… a much better team

So is this supposed to feel like winning?

Very little left to play for for SF Giants

But if their rat-tag bunch figures it out in September there IS the chance beating LA the last weekend of the season to drop the Dodgers out of a first round bye

In California, the state legilature just passed a bill making it easier for Californians to sue ICE agents.

A remember, in the UNITED States of America, governors and state legislatures matter beyond state lines.

In this case, because if ICE agents think they could be held accountable, they might be more law-abiding no matter where they are deployed.

Fox News headline:

Marine One’s urgent calls went unanswered before Trump helicopter neared passenger jet.

Uh, pretty darn sure if Pete Buttigieg was DOT Secretary Fox would be calling for his resignation/impeachment.

Crickets on Sean Duffy.

To all these evil trolls lying and saying that Dolly Parton died because she was vaccinated against COVID-19?

You do realize that one of the first people to receive the vaccine was Donald J. Trump?

A fundraising email from Donald Trump Jr. is headlined “Darline keeps it in the family.”
Have to wonder, is one reason Donald pushed so hard for Lindsey Graham’s sister to win because he thinks it’s a precedent for his kids to be elected/installed some day?

So many trolls today saying internet use is a parent problem & not Meta’s problem.

Not quite same, but was only 1988 U.S. Surgeon General officially declared nicotine addictive.

We’re still learning how addictive social media can be.

(& Meta knows more than they’re saying.)

Hey Congress

When Trump brings in wrecking balls and starts demolishing the Kennedy Center, are you all going to echo John Cornyn “there’s nothing we could do to rein in the president?

No, not Tim Curry too?! RIP

How iconic was Rocky Horror Picture Show back in the day?

Had to regularly tell people my name was Janice not Janet because of the song “Dammit Janet.”

So while he’s renaming things who is with me on renaming New York City’s garbage barges after Donald Trump?

And while the Toddler in Chief is playing with his Sharpie, a fun story on sports names:

Fans in San Jose voted for “the Blades” for their then new NHL hockey team. And the owners decided it had ties to gang violence. So they changed to the “Sharks.” Apparently never saw West Side Story.

Meanwhile the President of the United States had to be ASKED by a reporter before he said anything about the tragedy in Nepal.

And his response was this word salad:
“Oh, it’s terrible. “We’ve called Nepal and we’ve offered any help that they need. You know, we have a very good relationship with Nepal and that was a brutal.”
“Nobody’s ever seen anything quite like that where very powerful, strong, well-built buildings were wiped out like they were toothpicks.
Trump went on to say that around 50 to 60 Americans are missing but said that he hasn’t received the full list yet.
“Hopefully they’re OK but that looked pretty — that looked like something that people will not be, somebody will be lost, unfortunately.”
