Took the day off to clean my house, but my cat decided my lap was the only place she wants to sit. So I took a day off so my cat can sit on my lap. #CatSky
Well, the U.S. capital has one stadium, and right now it looks like this.
Herring gull arrived on my hotel window ledge this morning in New York City. I'm on the 25th floor! And it banged on the window and would watch me as I walked throughout the room, so I knew he could see me. I threw out some pork rinds, which he happily ate, before he finally flew away.
Is this how we all get lung cancer? Because it feels like this lis how we all get at least some respiratory issues. #NYWx
Air topped out at 193 last night at Citi Field. The health of the players and fans was taken into account. #NWSL
It's 1,000 degrees, and no one can breathe, but they sold 40K+ tickets to the Gotham-Spirit match tonight at Citi Field. #NWSL
At the Spirit-Gotham match in Queens and the air quality is getting worse by the minute. #NWSL
I was letting today's World Cup match with Spain against France to decide which wine I was doing to drink tonight. A young wine for a young Spanish team, it turns out. 🍷
Can Landon at least BRUSH his fake hair? It always looks like he pulled it out of his pocket and put it on. #WorldCup
This Citizen alert confused me. I thought a Navy ship was fired upon by a lifeboat... in Baltimore. And now we have pirates in the Inner Harbor. 🫢
WINE REVIEW: Two Mountain Winery’s 2024 Chardonnay features a light gold hue and aromas of oak, crisp apple, and vanilla. It offers a refreshing crisp acidity, reminiscent of apple cider with hints of metallic notes. It’s recommended for those averse to buttery Chardonnays: bit.ly/4vSxDqh #WineSky

Wow, check out @vrubinobs.bsky.social's "Ocean of Stars"! 🔭 Zoom in on skyviewer.app/explorer and tag yourself. I'm this twin set of Little Red Dots (which I found and then promptly lost). 🔴🔴
Jannik Sinner bled through this shoe after a fall on Wimbledon's grass court in his first match. It reminded everyone, including McEnroe, of Curt Schilling's bloody sock in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS against the New York Yankees. Both went on to win their games.
What started as a stare down turned into an act of violence on her big brother. #CatSky
STScI Director Jen Lotz starts the STScI Town Hall at #AAS248. She confirms that the Roman Space Telescope is now on a barge on the way to Cape Canaveral. #NASARoman
From my hotel, I can see Venus, Jupiter, the crescent moon, and Athena in the night sky.
Told myself I'd stay up until the sunset in Pasadena. Been up since 4:30 ET, so... it's been... *failing at doing math while exhausted* ... 100 years.
How high are they going to go? Is that more scaffolding than when they put the letters up?
