Carlos Delgado

All time leader amongst Puerto Rican ballplayers in HRs and OPS? Carlos Delgado. The King.

my sourdough that I started using the process @jbbartram.bsky.social sent me feels a lot better than my other ones have. I'm going to pull it out of the oven where it's been fermenting before I go to bed, and I'm doing to shape it and put it in the banetton then bake it first thing tomorrow morning

I took about an inch too much out of the sleeves and made them about an inch shorter than I could have. So I can't wear the sleeves rolled up with a hoodie.. but I don't actually like doing that anyways.

I can wear a hoodie just fine when the sleeves are rolled down

"finished cuffs"

the cuffs mostly look good but the fact it's they're too small, like there's not enough fabric. so I'm going to cut up some work pants so I can make cuffs that dont require pleats.

the colours won't exactly match, but I'll wear them rolled up most of the time anyways

hate myself

so predictable

not for anything, but Committees of Safety/Bonds of Association, &c were established precedent in English history prior to 1776; indeed, they were the 'go-to' during times when people (as Anglo-Americans did in 1776) feared they were in a state of nature

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities ▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities. ▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation. ▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.

▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death. The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures. 🎥 Day time in Iran (clip via @tparsi). CNN reports on “oil rain” below.

I did two (2) tours today, and both of them were super great (altho the second one went long, oops, sorry). Haven't done a 2-tour day since undergrad, I think, and I don't particularly want to do it again any time soon, but it worked out just fine

Ok folks, it is now SPRING TOUR SEASON!!! so there will be a lot more walking tour promo–posting on your skylines. I am always super super duper grateful for any shares/reposts, on here or on FB (handy FB post link to share: www.facebook.com/share/p/14V6... ) or via word of mouth 🧡🧡🧡

I've met a lot of very famous chefs in my life but nothing prepared me for Tom Colicchio on Threads just throwing punches at every MAGA asshole he can find

In fairness, topography has been against us from the start

I also need to start tomatoes and plants tomorrow.

I guess we should all moved to Newfoundland time?

tomorrow I'm starting bread first thing, taking kids to the bus, having a nap, then therapy then library. also need to call the ministry of labour and file a grievance against management

A highway viewed from inside a car going between two exposed flat faces of rock with parallel vertical lines along them.

When you build a highway in northern Ontario, you’re building through Canadian Shield. So sometimes, if you want to keep the road mostly flat, you blast through an awful lot of #SundayPixStone. Note the vertical lines—that’s where they drilled holes for the dynamite/blasting. (This is hwy 69).

alright I'm going to make another loaf or sourdough tomorrow morning/bake it Tuesday morning. using @jbbartram.bsky.social's recipe.

my starter seems the happiest it's ever been so we'll see.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just hit a two-run homer for the Dominican Republic in the WBC.

He is now wearing the (leather?) home run jacket and curling a large dumbbell in the dugout. #BlueJays

'Half-robot' Kasevich emerging as prospect to watch in Blue Jays camp DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Each camp has its darling, a tradition stretching back a half-century in Dunedin. Some years, a star is born. Other years, fool’s gold is dug up from the dirt and soon forgotten. Addi...

Each Spring Training has its darling.

It's Josh Kasevich's turn, the "half-robot" who has all of the right people talking about him like a big-leaguer in #BlueJays camp.

the management was incredibly insulting last week when only one person from management showed up to JHSC and they rolled their eyes the entire time and didn't even bother listening.

*sigh* aww is okay black Caps

come on black Caps

Amid Maple Leafs’ slump, the real story is the empty seats, boos and uncertainty Toronto's 5-2 loss to the Lightning was the team’s seventh in a row, and with no announced direction forward, the fan base is in limbo.

The last time the Maple Leafs lost seven in a row? The scorched-Earth rebuild in 2015.

This seven-game losing streak is different. MLSE doesn’t appear to have a plan for the team.

And the empty seats and boos last night suggest Leafs fans are tuning out.

completely failed to do any sewing today before hockey. I really want to get the plackets finished today

developers certainly don't

in Ontario the government is very very very pro car anti public transit

Also I know for a fact that a bunch of these grants that it says *weren't* DEI-related got cancelled anyway, though some have been reinstated. It's just an excuse for taking people's money away because they don't like the guy who was president when it was given to them

14th century England! Too woke for this administration! People lost their jobs and in some cases their best shot at a career because of these cancellations and the stunning laziness, incuriosity, and cruelty behind them
