The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

This is not a negative post. I remained thrilled by this White Sox season. But, the Yankees are an obviously superior team even without their best 3 hitters. To beat them in a playoff series we'd need absolutely dominant outings from both Burke & Martin and then a great deal of luck.

Troy Jackson sounds an awful lot like what people claimed Graham Plattner was without the Nazi tatoo and lets just call it a sordid past.

Never have I viewed Bluesky as more grumpy than while scrolling during the MLB All Star game. This is an exhibition folks. The only boring thing about it is the game itself but who cares. You need to be grumpy go watch some cable TV news.

Last night's booing was cute. Booing every non-Phillies player is simply dumb.

Going to spend my 4th of July watching in order: Ireland vs. Australia in rugby, the team trial in Barcelona for Tour de France, Galway vs. Cork hurling, Canada vs. Morocco WC, Paraguay vs. France WC, and finally White Sox vs. Guardians.

I could care less about the Kelce/Swift wedding. It doesn't bither me that millions will obsess over it. Its being compared to a royal wedding but its worth noting those morons in the UK pay for those royal weddings themselves.

Hickenlooper will be reelected to the US Senate but it's worth noting he's losing in Denver to a completely unknown Dem.

Funny story. At the Rockies game tonight, the morons running the scoreboard had the Guardians beating the White Sox. I had no idea the White Sox won until 1 minute ago. Mood changed. Life is good.

Dear #Maine, You have Rank Choice Voting. For U.S. Senator, please select #1: Gov. Janet Mills (yes, she is still on the ballot for U.S. Senator). She's great #1 choice, an assured blue vote and clean record. Costello could be #2. This gives a bump up for Mills in RCV. #MESEN #MainePol #MEpol

I don't have a vote in any Maine election but it seems like voters need to know if Mills is back in or is she not. I see no down side in her making it clear that she is still seeking the nomination but it should be clear what she is doing. Dem voters deserve a choice other than Plattner.

Not thrilled by much of what I learn about Plattner. Since I don't live in Maine I don't have a vote. I do know there was a process in place that allowed people to challenge his candidacy in the Dem Primary. It now appears clear that Plattner will be the Dem nominee. Its now Plattner or Collins.

The White Sox won their 29th game last year on July 4 when they beat the Colorado Rockies to go to 29-59 on the season. I was at the game.

Unless I am losing my mind, there isn't a single story currently on CNN.com covering the dismissal of the case against the Broadview Six. Hell, even CBS is covering it.

An Italian Pilsner by Galway Bay Brewery called FIGO. Its very true to the style created by Augustino at Birrificio Italiano.

Hey NHL, does an intentional elbow to the head have to permanently injur one of the sports superstars before you will take this shit seriously?

MikeThomson22 @mikethomson22.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
I'd like to think that some day the NHL will consider an obvious intentional elbow to the face a penalty and potentially an ejection.

I seriously object to the first casting award going to the casting director for a movie that had Dicaprio, Del Toro, and Penn. Come on. What was her budget? 100 million dollars?
