Deprogrammed sports guy now reporting news and "Wine Country" oddities for The Press Democrat. I don't freestyle much, but I write 'em like such.

Hey, Twitter family. I will keep this account as long as they let me. But I'm also now on that platform where the sky is blue and not blinded by Starlink. Similar handle there: @SkinnyPost. Find me. Connect with me.

Let’s all put our helmets on and play queer football with basketballs for Pride Month

[Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog @DougWahl1]

I am impressed!

I was sure Donald Trump would never post anything about pride month. And then he posted this!

Clearly, I was wrong!

[Phil Barber @Skinny_Post]

@KyleAMadson That is a genuine cootie catcher.

Election night weirdness in California's 4th Congressional District. AP numbers from early returns jibe with the Secretary of State's... except for like 2,000 ballots that AP is giving to candidate JIMIH Jones and the state is giving to ERIC Jones. I'm Jonesing for accuracy!

@Skinny_Post I hope we hear soon he’s suing for 10 billion in damages.

We saw I Love Boosters at Alamo a couple weekends ago. Overall, a great experience. But people were literally booing the new QR ordering system, lo.

[Elijah Wood @elijahwood]

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

Incredible scoop from @EricM_Katz

always remember: it's antisemitic to conflate Jewish people and Israel, unless Jonathan Greenblatt does it, in which case you're antisemitic if you don't do it too

FINALLY a president willing to take on the crisis in toothpaste theft

Nobody in media blew a 28-3 lead quite like Sports Illustrated.
