That’s what freedom is to gun nuts, the freedom to buy a weapon, fuck everyone else. 

This is what passes for conservative intellectualism these days. 

That’s science. 

They're not dumb; they not that they can fake a bullshit ailment, milk it for months of paid vacation, and get the credulous cop-loving media to believe every word. What a perfect scam.

I guess they've figured out that "thoughts and prayers" wasn't gonna fly anymore, so they've moved on to simply, "I don't actually care if you die"

That's pretty much the modern gunowner's creed: "I don't actually care if you die, I want my hobby."

The good guy with a gun is an insidious myth. No one needs a gun, it shouldn't be legal to own one, and at this point if you still believe in personal gun ownership? This evil is on you.

Just got home. Astros K the Angels 20 times. Peña two homers including this walk-off. Sorry to my beloved Jrod, but ROY belongs to Peña.

 

Astros have the weakest remaining schedule and are going to se the franchise win record.

 

Verlander is probably going to win the Cy Young too if he keeps doing what he is doing (and again, weakest remaining schedule…).

 

Much excite

Julio is going to be a 30-30 guy this year, with a shot at 40-40. Ain’t no way he doesn’t win it. 

Finished the season.

Why my guy Drew Lock have to get burned like that?? Uncalled for. I am looking forward to his game-clinching interceptions en route to a 5 win season. 

Though having said that, I’m 85% that by training camp Baker Mayfield will be the QB.

That was a fun and quick read. Next up is Bluebird, Bluebird, by Attica Locke.

Finished that, time to finally read Don Winslow's latest, City on Fire. 

I can dig it. The punishment for running a red light in a fucking obscene truck should be castration. 

Good. No one needs a gun so the fewer guns out there the better.

So, one of my female friends on Facebook posted an update that says until men start legislating for women's rights, sex is completely off the table. So basically, her argument is that all men need to start doing stuff that women want or her current boyfriend, who is probably more Democrat than she is, gets none. That's gonna solve a lot.

Reenacting Lysistrata I see.

@thewhyteboar at least he is fun to watch

He's electric.

Trout has a personality as bland as his namesake, so he is a perfect fit for the Angels. Ohtani, on the other hand, I'm guessing he is gone as soon as his contract is up.

Gimme my Beefy Boy 2024 ticket. 

I’ve read a few in that series as well. 
 

If you like Name of the Rose, Hild by Nicola Griffith is a book I’d recommend. It’s not a mystery, nor medieval, but the way it really creates a vivid setting is reminiscent of Rose.

What if the cop was a dog?

 

Beloved K-9 Police Dog Retiring After 7 Years of Service

It was Cai Steffler’s first week at his new job, and as he was settling in for his third day of work he became startled when he looked down and saw a German shepherd at his desk. Steffler didn’t grow up around dogs, and he was apprehensive.  At first, Steffler thought he got himself in trouble because Sgt. David Angulo and a K-9 police dog w...

 

Cops. Of course. Who trusts a cop?

I really hesitate to share much here but given the news of the day I think some pictures of my adorable little girl might bring a little needed cheer. Felt cute will probably delete later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful family. Girls are awesome. My daughter is 20 months old. I can’t wait to buy her her first baseball glove.
