If only it were a circular firing squad.

"Of the six states involved in HSI’s attempt to transfer data to Palantir, only Missouri had given the DOJ its unredacted voter rolls. All others involved refused and were sued by the department." Why did I move here?!

Further evidence, as if it's needed, that I live in a shithole state.

Ah, Iowa. Where waterways needed to ship steel are abundant.

Strike that. The Rangers won today. I still want the division winner to have a losing record. And that it NOT be the Trashtros.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ah, I missed that the Rangers won today.

It's unlikely, but mathematically possible for the Mariners, Rangers, and Astros to do the funniest thing. If the Ms win their remaining four games, and the Rangers and Stros lose their remaining four, they'd all tie for first with records of 78-84.

Learned today of the passing of Roberta Maguire. Like Viola Spolin's legacy in Chicago improv, Seattle improv owes more to Roberta than perhaps anyone else. Rest in Power and Peace.

These Rockies uniforms are embarrassing.

I've got chills. They're multiplying.

Same. These assholes have been overriding citizen referenda for years.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This is one of the many things I like about you--you understand nuance. Most folks I see posting just think Supreme Court overrides everything else, without taking into account that he didn't actually take the case.

Those in power in this state are thankful this judge did that.

My grandfather (pictured in my pinned post) grew up in Canton. Were he still with us, he'd agree, too.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Yeah, but then another fuckwit overrode it.

Love my city (KC), but the state is a fucking shithole.

That's been my concern, too. I was enraged when I wasn't allowed to vote for Cleaver in the primary. But I see people talking like it's obvious he'll win the old district easily. But how are they deciding who's on which ballot?

Hallelujah! We worked hard on this.

It put me in DC. I've lived a fair number of places, but that ain't one of 'em. Nor were the next three.

The Supreme Court did not grant immunity to the Postmaster General. Arrest David Steiner.

Olds pitching to Young, and I like to imagine both have the first name The.

Excellent (and hope-giving) article.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Sorry I wasn't more clear. Found you because of a post of yours in Artists Against AI. And AI is about as jejune as it gets: lacking in substance, depth, or intellectual nourishment.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I hope you used it describe AI. :)

Introduce yourself with 10 acts you've seen live: Urge Overkill (3x, all in my college basement) Grateful Dead Joe Walsh (my first, when I was a little kid) Barry Manilow Squeeze Tom Petty Elvis Costello Bob Dylan Yo-Yo Ma Psychedelic Furs 3 of the above were the same concert.

Love this song, and great to hear from its originator. In my memory, I first heard it by Beru Revue, but damned if I can find such a recording. #ResistanceSongs

If this doesn't belong in my collection of #ResistanceSongs, I don't know what does.

I never use the betting markets. But betting on November 4 seems like a gimme.

Natalie is definitely getting fired.

I suspect some folks are dunking on Bill for this, but he comes from good stock. His mother was the first female president of King County's United Way, the first woman to chair the national United Way’s executive committee. The highest giving tier at UWKC was named for her.

Dammit. First Dolly, now Tim Curry?! Nope, nope, nope. *sigh* As #ResistanceSongs go, we all know this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWoY... I don't even wanna think about who might be #3.

Took a few days off to go to #ImprovCon, which was so full of love. And now, the world's lost a woman who radiated love in everything she did. Not a fair trade. Here's one of her #ResistanceSongs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QJX...

Well, not this time. Just 1 getting the out alone for the final out. Hell of a nice inning for Vargas.

Dave Clapper @anhourofplay.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

How often has every out recorded in an inning been scored 1-3?
