I realize this is not a novel thought but it’s not even evil genius! it’s just an old man pushing the big red button to amuse himself like it’s on a plaque with an animatronic fish that sings a song

Thanks for making me cry, Rodger. Not terribly difficult lately, but still.
this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

A patch of stars in various colours, ranging from white to bright blue and deep orange
When Galileo made his telescope, the first thing he pointed it at was a faint patch of light which clearly wasn't a planet or a star.
It turned out to be the Beehive Star Cluster. A group of a 1000 stars gravitationally bound together, roughly 550 lightyears from Earth.

BREAKING via @rchapoco.bsky.social: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey Tuesday commuted the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton to life imprisonment. Burton was scheduled to be executed on Thursday for the 1991 murder of Doug Battle, in which he was not the triggerman.
Kyle Shideler, the government's "expert" witness in a case against Texas antifascist activists, said he provided language and research to support the indictment. He's a staffer at the deeply Islamophobic Center for Security Policy. theintercept.com/2026/03/09/p...
Here's an example of his work.

Hot baseball take: I think intentional walks are stupid and should be eliminated. Or you get, like, one per game. Pitch to Ohtani, you cowards! Pitch like (baseball) men!
This is very important and a major pet peeve of mine. If you don’t know what you’re doing- and if you learned on the internet, then sorry, you don’t know what you’re doing- please leave old gravestones well enough alone.

Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke released the following statement on the reported plan to petition for the appointment of a special prosecutor: “The reported plan to petition for a special prosecutor will make it more difficult for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office to prosecute and win convictions against ICE agents who break the law and secure justice for victims harmed by their conduct. It is also frivolous, contrary to centuries of legal precedent and court rulings, riddled with factual errors, and ultimately hampers my office’s ability to hold ICE agents accountable. The stakes are too high for us to get this wrong, and I will strenuously oppose this petition. We have all been horrified by the thuggish and inappropriate conduct of ICE agents in Chicago, Minnesota and across the country, causing each of us to ask each other: what can be done? That’s why, to meet this unprecedented moment, I directed my office to draft and implement a comprehensive protocol to hold ICE agents accountable within the confines of the law, including a plan to preserve relevant evidence in case a future federal administration decides to pursue criminal charges. Every elected local prosecutor in Illinois and the Attorney General have adopted this protocol. As stated in our protocol, local prosecutors' offices are restricted from serving as primary investigators in criminal cases. The Illinois Supreme Court held in People V. Ringland, 2017 that the State’s Attorney’s ability to investigate is “limited to circumstances where other law enforcement agencies inadequately deal with such investigation or where a law enforcement agency asks the State’s Attorney for assistance.” The CCSAO has no statutory authority to lead investigations into criminal conduct, despite any argument made to the contrary. My office’s goal is not to merely charge, but to successfully prosecute and convict criminal ICE agents. The issues at hand are difficult due to the Supr…
