I don't know what this data point says, but the first time I've heard OF the song "Choosin' Texas" was today. I have not heard the actual song.

Thank you, Justin Verlander 🧡 JV leaves the mound for the Tigers - one final time.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I honestly can't believe how long JV ended up pitching today.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That was like watching a movie. What do you mean, there's still a baseball game to finish?

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh my god they had JV's daughter go out to the mound to get him.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

What a game. You have not just JV but the opposing starting pitcher retiring, and the umpire behind the plate retiring.

We need a lot of run support for Verlander, please and thank you

I should start an Ace Pitcher Zach McKinstry account. That was entertaining stuff. Throwing the 37 mph HEAT 🔥

I've heard of 8 out of 25. I feel like Ms. Rachel should be #1, because who hasn't heard of her?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no one told me that the Bluey movie is 3-D computer animated. I'm not sure how to feel about this.

"Too Early to Call" switching to "Too Close to Call" in the El-Sayed vs Stevens race according to NBC

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Detroit ballots coming in! 62-34 margin for Stevens in Detroit. 55-42 margin for Stevens for Wayne County.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Oh, I absolutely am too old for that and also a parent, don't worry lol

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Kornaki just predicted 5 am as the time we'll know El-Sayed vs. Stevens lol

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Oh, this is a good call, too.

Do we think the 27,000 people that have voted for McMorrow were unaware she dropped out or was it some form of protest vote

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

We need more Muppets on baseball broadcasts. In general.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

If Stevens wins, I'll vote for her in November, by the way. I'm not that militant.

Ben Franklin, Esq. @bfsesq.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Has anyone here ever been to a election night party? They're endlessly fascinating to me.

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten

Update: Abdul up by 3 points, Tigers up by 4 runs

We travel to new channels to find Kornacki. We are legion

Kornaki now exercising more caution.

Happy anniversary of the entire nation learning each election cycle that 4 of Michigan's 83 counties are in the Central Time Zone

Hoping El-Sayed can pull it off tonight.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

What do we think of the Tigers' alternate hats today with the different 'D'? It's my first time seeing them. They're... something!

Just had to admit that we were from Michigan and it was our first time at Waffle House because we were thrown by the menu, in case you're wondering just how off the charts we are on levels of Tourist here in Oklahoma

Doing some damage at Buc-ees is just the name of the game on a road trip.

Romeo is not exactly a liberal enclave but I still hate to see it there. You could argue it's more necessary there than anywhere. I'm glad my district doesn't pull this kind of thing.

Romeo Community Schools. I hate to see this. It's dangerous stuff. There is a list of 32 pre-approved statements. To hang up in any classroom! That's taking so many rights away from teachers.
