Really should have gotten a screencap before AB number 4.

Career stats for Cardinals RF Joshua Baez, after becoming the first MLB player to ever hit a homer in each of his first three career at bats. 4 at bats, three home runs, 5 rbi in his debut.

Probably never going to have an OPS of 3.750 again…

It’s not a good thing when the wind scale numbers go that high, and the flooding is going to be bad. Be safe y’all.

Might wanna check your units there @oregonian.com 😂 Massive recall of over ONE POINT SIX CARTONS! www.al.com/news/2026/08...

Screenshot of Oregonian article where they are missing a key “million”, implying that a recall of 1.6 cartons is huge. Full text of the screenshot:

The Food and Drug Administration upgraded its recall of more than 1.6 cartons of eggs due to concerns over Salmonella contamination.
Midwest Poultry Services, of North Manchester, Indiana, announced the initial recall of white eggs and brown cage-free eggs in July due to potential contamination with slamonella enteritidis bacterium.

… and yep, several zones updated to L3 “go now” and level 2 expanded (jumping right past level 1)

Worried about Dufur, Oregon (population 632) as the Grasshopper Fire is now expanding north and east, after getting very close to Mt Hood ski areas. Will all depend on the wind, but expect Level 3 alerts to continue to stretch east, threatening the town that was evacuated in 2018 due to 3 fires.

WatchDuty app showing evacuation alert zones for the Grasshopper Fire in central Oregon. Green level-1 zones stretch West to Welches, north towards Parkdale. Eastern zones have been recently upgraded to level 2, out to Dufur.

Not that he cares (or can comprehend), but all the smoke is being blown into Idaho, so as usual he’s punishing red-states too.

Air quality map of central Oregon, Washington, and the Western half of Idaho. Dozens of smoke plumes are visible as red and purple blobs, all being blown Eastward

Shame that @winnipegjets.com are awol on here. Posted from the fashy place

Screenshot of a post on the Nazi-infested x.com by the Winnipeg Jets account, making fun of the Miami Heat by pretending to announce LeBron James signing w the Jets.

Text says: “
The Winnipeg Jets's official YouTube channel has LeBron's introductory press conference scheduled for July 27”

And a photoshopped image of LeBron in a Jets jersey, along with text overlay:
LePress Conference
Note: don’t upload this yet!

Big Spoon lobby is getting aggressive

“DO NOT USE FORKS” label on a cardboard box on top of another larger package of some kind of building supply item on top of a trailer. There are fewer straps securing the boxes than might be recommended. Not shown, the pickup truck pulling the trailer.

Man say what you will about FIFA, but can I just say it’s great how they are taking care of the players, for example pausing for a hydration break during the Bay Area heat wave. Cynics who complain about a shameless commercial break money grab really need to give the benefit of the doubt…
