A friend in Charlotte is looking for these paintings. They were mistakenly given away late on Saturday night / early Sunday at Cook Out on S Tryon (near Woodlawn). They're offering >$1k if recovered.

Since Texas power sources are majority fossil fuel, this creates a fun death spiral.

Extreme heat => more power use => more fossil fuel emissions => more extreme weather => more power use => more fossil fuel emissions => more extreme weather => 💀

Really turned a corner in 1980.

Keeps getting redder i.e. hotter. Like we didn’t know that already.

Everything about the early Bucs was awful. Except the unis.

I lived in the Phoenix area 15 years ago. After going through my first AZ summer, I concluded that humans were not meant to live there. I moved. I still cannot believe that it is one of the fastest growing regions in North America.

A group of A’s fans attempted to stage a protest at the ASG in Seattle. The goal was to get everyone to stand silently in the 5th inning and then chant “Sell the team”.

It was a pretty lame response but probably not unexpected given that we’re not in Oakland. I didn’t see anyone stand, at least not for the protest. There was some chanting in the 5th and then again when Rooker was up in the 8th. Not enough to make a dent in anyone’s opinion I’d guess.

What was surprising was the negativity from some Seattle fans. I heard from many locals something like “Oakland sucks, move to Vegas”. Surprising because you’d think Seattle sports fans would get the pain of losing a team given the ‘Sonics.

I get the desire to try and get a national platform, but at this point, protesters really need to focus their efforts where it matters most, in Oakland. Otherwise, as on Tuesday, it looks like the baseball world is apathetic to the A’s plight.
