@rollingreggie.bsky.social @lobbyofhobbies.bsky.social Happy anniversary to you all, loving your show! Meaning to tell you the sports episode inspired an epic game of BH:2045 with me & @ruelgaviola.com at our local con! Ruel killed me but there were multiple extra innings and it was EPIC! ⚾️

The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

Dodgers Pride Night is June 5 against the Angels, and they are putting up a permanent display in the centerfield plaza at Dodger Stadium honoring Glenn Burke and Billy Bean

This year, the Dodgers will be installing a tribute to LGBTQ+ trailblazers Billy Bean and Glenn Burke, who both played for L.A. and were among the first professional athletes to identify as gay. The permanent display will be housed in the Centerfield plaza and feature pictures and memorabilia from their careers and text explaining the duo’s contributions to Major League Baseball and professional sports.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

I’m trying to think of the most neutral, objective, apolitical way to say this and it comes down to: There is a claim that the President of the United States sexually assaulted a child. The claim had enough credibility to merit several FBI interviews. Trump’s DOJ is withholding that information.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I have the right to free speech and protest. I have the right to bear arms. I have the right to a warrant. I have the right to a trial. ICE ignores all of this. They are unconstitutional and need to be abolished. They are out of control. Absolute maniacs facing little to no consequence.

Hi. I host a pod called Depresh Mode, about mental health. I also live in Minnesota in January 2026. That's quite a cocktail! Here's what I said in closing on this week's episode:

Before we go, I feel compelled to talk to you from the perspective of a Minnesotan. Which I am. Not born here but been here 18 years, love it here, been embraced. You may have heard about our difficulties here. I’m not confident that our situation is being adequately explained and amplified to people around the country and around the world. I’m tempted to say it’s worse than you know but I don’t know how much you know. I’m not tempted to say it’s easier than you know because I’m confident it’s not.

Abductions, people getting hurt, children getting hurt. Us parents going to school dismissal every day to guard our kids. And all around us, stories. My Korean-American friend being followed into a bakery and surrounded when she was just trying to pick up a cake. Other stories far more unpleasant than that.

I do want you to know this: if the goal was to divide Minnesotans, to make us turn on our neighbors of color, our Somali neighbors, our Latinx neighbors? Ain’t working. Like at all. Quite the opposite. We are more charged up than ever to protect our communities of humans. If the goal was to silence Minnesotans, well, that was never going to work. Have you ever met a Minnesotan? They never stop talking. Saying goodbye alone can take hours. We’re still talking.

And we’re taking action. People are volunteering to bring food, bring groceries, to neighbors who are scared to leave their homes because of our own government. And I hear more and more people taking on the idea of hey, if I get hurt or killed, it’s worth it for this cause. If they sought to divide us, well, whoops, because we’re more united and stronger than ever. And we’re sticking around longer than they will. So we’re hurting but we’ll be okay. Because we love our community and we’re just ridiculously stubborn.

As for me, doing this job has been harder. Concentrating has been harder. Depression and anxiety, I don’t need to tell you, are really fucking real. But I am so fortunate to get up, go to work, a…

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch" ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Enjoyed my time w/Stranger Things S5. Conclusions are so hard to pull off & they did a solid job especially the inevitable basement D&D game epilogue. Still it was the weakest of 5 seasons for me & especially lacking was their organic humor which always seemed so effortless for them in the past. ✌️
