Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 04/03/2026This doesn’t sound promising for Detroit Tiger fans. LA Dodgers fans, on the other hand… Via @theathletic.com 000
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 08/02/2026This was one of my first columns for the Washington Post in May 2021. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Your reminder: buy Forever stamps. I found this sheet from 2022 in a desk drawer. They cost 60 cents each. The current price is 78 cents. 130
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Sound garden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains. 010
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Here is the @apnews.com story on the hiring of Michigan’s new football coach who will be its third in two years. 110
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 25/12/2025None of these people would be invited to the White House. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 16/12/2025One thing about Politico: you never have to wonder where they stand. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Not that obscure, but two seats from the Tiger Den at Comerica Park. The stadium was renovated this year and they installed new chairs. These chairs went for $75 each. Now in my shed for the winter. 000
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 03/12/2025And now, ICE comes to New Orleans. People don’t realize how important immigrants are to keeping things rolling there. Well, they are about to find out. 120
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Remember that bs about $2 gas prices? They do not exist. This is BTS own chart for November. And look at diesel prices. 110
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Except that one of my favorite restaurants closed indefinitely today to protect their staff from ICE raids. This was the line of people who showed up for their last day. 110
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 29/11/2025Ohio State leads Michigan 17-9 at halftime. Snowing lightly, more on the way. 120
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 29/11/2025“I asked you politely to stop kicking my seat. Several times, in fact. The kicking continued.” 070
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Here is a map of SNAP percentages by state. Lots of his voters. Will this mess ultimately end the shutdown? 011
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Thank you @crampell.bsky.social for sharing this memo from the USDA. It seems like this will be a mess for the states. 112

Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 02/11/2025People seemed to like picking up (and hugging) Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He’s 5’8” (my height) but when you are surrounded by giant players that must seem small. 000
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 02/11/2025So proud of Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Shohei gets the attention (deserved) but Yoshi is a pitcher for the ages. 010
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 22/10/2025In case you need to picture it: maps of the White House. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Here is a map of the WH, courtesy of the GW Bush Archives. Notice the location of the East Wing, adjacent to the main WH building. 010
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Here’s a suggestion for @theathletic.com Don’t do these stories. TV can do them. Lazy sportswriters can do them. Bring your paying audience (because you are not free) something fresh. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Some signs and inflatables from Ann Arbor. 020

Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 08/10/2025The airports are beginning to shut down due to lack of staffing. Some VIP will be inconvenienced and this will end. 0447
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 05/10/2025I saved this to share with @bcdreyer.social This is the challenge we face. 000
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 04/10/2025You guys are killing me. The man rocks a white tuxedo. 020
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Hooray for my Gritty Tigers! Moving on to the ALDS. Hello, Seattle. 030
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 01/10/2025The TSA posted and then deleted a thread that began with this post. 000
Micheline Maynard @mickimaynard.bsky.social · 01/10/2025And the TSA dives face first into partisan politics on social media. Who is making the calls over there? 011
