@GrimmReality Initially I honestly thought this was a #monsterdon comment about the giant octopus destroying San Francisco in a bad horror film and was about to make an Elon Musk joke.
I'd estimate as many as 1,500 people turned out in the mostly-conservative Portland suburb of Tigard, and hundreds or even thousands of cars honked or gave a thumbs-up compared to only half a dozen birds or thumbs-down that I saw.

"Major League Baseball ha[s] altered what was once its 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' webpage, removing that title, and scrubbing the word "diversity" from it... [and] has almost completely eliminated the webpage for its Diversity Pipeline Program. And it's not even clear if the program itself exists any longer."
This wouldn't be a bad time for all offended ballplayers to strike. Let's see how well the owners do without minority and minority-ally players.

Dear #Canada: I'm so fucking sorry. Really. Your friend, Scott P.S.: Please boycott us massively, and also get your defenses buffed. We need you to win this thing no matter how much it hurts us along the way.
Also, even if you were vaccinated as a child, you nevertheless might not be immune to measles if you were born between 1957 (when a vaccine came out that didn't always work) and 1968 (when a better vaccine was released). I just got a "childhood" Measles Mumps Rubella ("MMR") vaccine at age 63 because measles is continuing to spread and I'm in that unsweet spot.
