Early notice that I'm on the app with bluer skies as johnbaker10. I will crosspost here for a while.

In all his years with Erasure, Vince Clarke never wrote a better synth dance rift than he did with Alison Moyet for Yazoo’s “Don’t Go.” It’s not reflected in the video, but she sounds so good.

I've been wanting to do a Buffy rewatch for a while, but after losing Michelle, Nicolas, and now Anthony in the last 16 months, I think I still need to wait a bit. https://t.co/yKjWfgME1f

@Super70sSports Well, if the Cubs were in town that day, the Sox likely would've been on the road, making it even more difficult.

@garystevensonII @BBGreatMoments I don't even think of Piazza as a Met. Of course, I grew up in the shadow of Dodger Stadium.

Um, once again I am a pace-setter: Tim Payne has been a star on my seven-year FIFA franchise since 2019. I use him as a part-time center defensive midfielder and he helped bring Cheltenham Town FC from League Two to the Premier League.

Ain’t no way 🤣😭 Argentine football fans have made a SONG for viral full back Tim Payne!

The Wellington defender has gained 600,000 followers in less than 24 hours and this saga just keeps getting better 😅

It's Election Day in California! I'm doing my part for democracy by helping out at the polls at a nice facility for older adults near Park Merced in San Francisco.

@Montreal_Expos Honestly, the one on the right. Yes I know the teams were better on the left, but the right was a great design.

[John C. Baker @jcb10]

@ginamilan_ You're right -- there's a lot of discussion whether the logo features a left-hand batter or a right-handed one. The beauty is that it could be either to fit your own preconceived notions.

@aleroi @DrewSav It ain't that kind of movie, kid.

[John C. Baker @jcb10]

@aleroi @DrewSav There is a gap of ~400 years, so natural immunity has time to develop.

I’m confused about the “Mandela Effect” being named because people thought Nelson Mandela died in prison. I was a kid in the ‘80s and remember a LOT of “Free Nelson Mandela” protests culminating in a massive celebration when he was free. The Berenstain/Berenstein Bears, OTOH…

@AaronMeyers This was actually a very good issue in a down era for Spider-Man. It's a shame the "death" got retconned, but OTOH, they've done some great things with the character since.

@Adam__Sucks @urbanistoomf If it wasn't Utah, I'd think they were "proud" of it.

@smugleaf1221 @Alt_Azn "Hispanics" were counted as "White" until the 1980 Census, so there was a massive undercount before then -- and probably a significant one since then.
