My 8 yr old was recalling summer memories today & did his best LEGO re-creation of a lakeside piano concert at @EastLakeResort in #newberrycaldera. Thx @HunterNoack (https://t.co/wIqeNbrKsj)! #inalandscape #lego #pacificwonderland #oregon #centraloregon #classicalmusic #ICANradio

Thought provoking comment on panel about tracking ethics consultation & how we capture/ communicate our daily activities not only those “sensationalist cases” @drnickbioethics et al #ASBH22 @AmerSocBioHum

@DrKeishaRay @KayteSB @AmerSocBioHum Not terribly common but it occasionally happens here in PDX - good suggestion!

@FlyerTom23 @Buster_ESPN These aren't Buster's projections - they're Fangraphs'

[kevin dirksen @kdirk]

@newyorkshocker @Buster_ESPN I like the O's, but he's merely reproducing the projections of an external entity, i.e., Fangraphs.

A Black professor had his house appraised.
The value: $472,000.
Then he removed indications of Blackness from his home, including family photos.
He had a white colleague — another Johns Hopkins professor — stand in.
The second appraisal: $750,000.

@controlthezone And yet it was Chris Woodward who was fired today...

[kevin dirksen @kdirk]

@tridenttrue right now, I'd take: Kelenic, Haggerty, or Trammel > Winker

[kevin dirksen @kdirk]

@controlthezone *got. And it felt that way throughout the game.

[kevin dirksen @kdirk]

@Polons4Mitchell @RyanDivish If the question is instead of the 8th (vs. a 2 inning save), the answer is that he faced the heart of the order in the 8th: a higher-leverage situation. That's exactly where I want my best bullpen arm: facing the opponent's best hitters in a competitive spot.
