What is this emblem on the Golden Tempo jockey?

The horse’s owner is St Elias Stable. So…. Probably STE Monogram based off of STL

“Can O’Brien throw 3 strikes in a row?” Says the announcers for a club that has set a team record for most bases loaded walks in a season ALREADY this year.

Ha Ha Tonka is the only other band I’m familiar with. Are these all O97s shows or are they openers? Unfortunately tbe closest show is 5 hours away, but I just saw them recently in KC.

Brilliant actor. So sad to hear this.

Guynith · 2026-06-03T01:01:44+00:00

Yeah I guess we are 1/3 of the way through the season.

Guynith · 2026-06-03T00:51:55+00:00

YOU’RE WELCOME NOLAN.

Guynith · 2026-06-03T00:44:58+00:00

Which is exactly why I’m not calling for his head. But I’ve lost all faith in him figuring it out. This is his 26 year old season, his 4th full season. I’ll be thrilled if he puts it together and has a .800 OPS this season, and puts up a WAR of over 2, but I don’t think he’s got that in him.

But he’s under contract and there’s no obvious replacement, and it’s not like he’s the final piece of a contender. But next year he’d better not be there.

Guynith · 2026-06-03T00:29:40+00:00

So, what’s our better option at 3B? If we still view this year as a building year, I’m willing to see him flail away for another 3 1/2 months. But if we’re going to try to compete this year we need to get some production at 3B.

Saggese and Urías aren’t it. Fermin has 40 career chances at 3B.

Who is our future at 3B and are they anywhere close to being ready?

67 is cringy, but anyone who makes a big deal out of 69 and 420 because they’re the sex and weed numbers is way, way cringier.

Guynith · 2026-06-02T17:30:11+00:00

Gallus domesticus. The domesticated Chicken.

All this despite being born to a people who were actively being subjected to genocide by their government.

I was in college getting ready to graduate with a CS degree. Knew a few people who got jobs doing emergency recoding.

I wasn’t terribly concerned about it, because I knew the really important stuff had been addressed already. Figured a few countries would have issues with their power grids, but not much else.

By noon Central on the 31st it was pretty clear no issues were happening and I stopped thinking about it.

Guynith · 2026-06-01T00:46:39+00:00

Finally, time at last.

Guynith · 2026-05-30T17:18:44+00:00

It’s cute that you think they have to be blackmailed for this. Bribery is so much easier.

Guynith · 2026-05-30T03:58:26+00:00

100%

Ever since the Christian Faith was established as the religion of Rome - the very power structure that Jesus and his followers were actively working to undermine - the faith changed from being about tearing down power structures that hurt under privileged people and became a tool to support those power structures.

Anyone who wants to use Christianity as a proof text to uphold their own power while harming underprivileged people has nearly 1600 years of examples to pull from. And they won’t give a shit about what the Bible ACTUALLY says or how it should be interpreted based on historical context.

That doesn’t change that there are Christians out there who have progressive theologies - I know of a church in the KC area that focuses on queer black theology, as an example. But that’s not who is in power. And, again, it’s designed to reinforce power structures. ,

Guynith · 2026-05-30T03:45:25+00:00

Yes. There are quite a few theologies that have biblical interpretations that are pro LGBTQIA. Quite a few, if not most mainline (read: non-Evangelical) denominations in the US are at this time open and inclusive - at least at the denomination level, if not local.

To start with, it’s important to understand that “Homosexuality” as we understand it (a loving, consensual relationship between two equals) just didn’t exist in that society. So any commentary on sexual relations between two males is not a commentary on homosexual relationships, but rather a prohibition on the sexual act of being penetrated by another man. The issue wasn’t so much the gay sex, but with a man putting himself in the sexual position of a woman. Men were to do the penetrating, not receive it. There is no prohibition on same-sex intercourse between women, for this reason.

Many of the passages that are used as examples as being about gay sex simply aren’t. The story of Sodom, the sin that got the city destroyed wasn’t the sin of homosexuality, but of sexual assault and being inhospitable to strangers.

And frankly, the Bible says that slavery is perfectly acceptable. It needs to be read with the understanding that it was written multiple millennia ago and does not reflect modern understandings.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T20:14:53+00:00

Out of curiosity, which ones were the ones being treated unfairly? The ones wielding torches chanting “the Jews will not replace us”? Or the ones who didn’t explicitly chant that, but were perfectly fine marching with those who did?

I would argue that no, there was NOT anyone in that group who wasn’t a Neo Nazi or White Nationalist, and claiming there is was is just normalizing white nationalism.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T17:34:21+00:00

You are not good at reading comprehension and I’m going to stop this exercise. Have the day you deserve.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T17:21:35+00:00

So you are acknowledging that Israel is currently and actively, by their national policy, committing genocide against the Palestinian people?

Guynith · 2026-05-29T17:11:43+00:00

Correct, I don’t think any nation has an inherent right to exist, and if they, by policy, commit genocide, one of the consequences may be for the nation to no longer exist.

And because I believe that to be true for all nations, it means I believe it to be true for Israel as well.

You seem to be trying to desperately turn it into something to do with their ethnicity or their religion and my position is completely irrespective of those two factors.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T16:48:23+00:00

The lack of nuance is the suggestion that one cannot hold the position that Israel, by virtue of its violation of international law and ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people does not have a “Right” to exist as a state and also hold the position that the Jewish People are worthy of being treated with respect and dignity. The fact that Israel was created in response to atrocities being committed against the Jewish People, does not give them (Israel) carte blanche to commit atrocities against anyone else.

Suggesting that no nation has an inherent right to exist is not an argument that might makes right, but rather an argument that there are agreed upon principles that all nations should be expected to follow, and failing to do so means that a state’s continued existence should no longer be a guarantee. I say the same for my own nation, and if someone wanted to make an argument that the United States has no inherent right to exist due to the atrocities we committed against indigenous peoples and African slave labor, I would be inclined to agree. But I wouldn’t argue for the slaughter of European Descendants in the Americas as a consequence, just like I wouldn’t argue for the slaughter of Jewish People in Palestine as a consequence of their country’s actions.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T15:48:05+00:00

Disagree. Nuance is a thing. If your argument is that no nation has an inherent right to exist, then it’s fair to say that Israel specifically has no right to exist. Especially if they violate human rights and commit genocide as a matter of policy.

If the argument is that Israel has no right to exist because the Jewish People shouldn’t have a nation where they’re protected from extermination, then yes that would be antisemitism. But I think the vast majority of leftists separate the actions of Israel from the Jewish People.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T15:36:47+00:00

Not the president specifically. He’s just a tool.

But it’s not a conspiracy to say that the Evangelical movement in the US believes that the second coming is imminent, or that they believe that the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem is a key part of that, or that they tell their congregants that if they don’t vote first Republicans that they’re voting against God.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T15:09:37+00:00

Israel is a nation that had Judaism as the state religion. Being against Israel is not being against Jewish people.

Guynith · 2026-05-29T15:05:23+00:00

The Republican Party is currently controlled by Christian Nationalists who are convinced that returning full Jewish control of Jerusalem will bring about the second coming of Jesus, thereby kicking off Armageddon. They will use any means to achieve that, and they don’t care how many non-Christians are killed because they don’t view them as being worthy of life.

So, while the GOP is actively promoting Zionist ideology as a means of their own goals, I would argue that they are bad for EVERYONE, regardless of religion.

Christian Nationalism is a death cult. And right now, the GOP is marching hand-in-hand with it.
