Baseball Card Fun

Posted by on

I never made a fortune on baseball cards, because I threw away the following five, or used them in the spokes of my bicycle. I don’t remember.

First; I’m an old judge of form, and this is no way to steal home:

Next — Nice form for never getting a hit in a million years:

Next, three cards I tossed because I didn’t recognize the names, and figured the cards wouldn’t be worth anything:

Eh. I’m sticking with crypto from now on.

Straight Line of the Day: Can You Identify What You Identify As?

Why Trans Kids Are Now ‘Coming Out’ as Animals
The Spectator | 4 Mar 2023 | Mary Wakefield

It was announced last week that another gender has been added to the list: nominalgender.

Most news sites reported this in the sort of proud way a zoo might announce the birth of an exciting animal, a baby Komodo dragon maybe – as if the gender had somehow hatched and was waiting to be adopted. You are nominalgender ‘if your gender is so much just you that no one else can even experience it’, I read.

…

Every day the list of possible gender options grows – metastasizes is a better word: non-binary, genderfluid, bigender, demigender, catgender. On Monday it was reported that a drag queen on the Isle of Man had informed Year 7 pupils that there are exactly 73 genders. When one brave child insisted that there were only two, the drag queen allegedly responded ‘You’ve upset me’ and sent the child out.

What the drag queen might have said, if the rude child hadn’t interrupted, is that though it’s an article of trans faith that there are 73 genders, it’s also often said that the fastest-growing gender subset is xenogender. You’re xenogender if you feel more akin to animals or plants or foods than humans. It’s funny, but it’s also frightening.

There’s a girl on TikTok who explains very seriously that her gender is bird – a cardinal specifically, ey/em pronouns. And several people I’ve found identify as cake.

So, hi, hi, Miss “American Pie.”

Drove my Chevy, called her Bevvy, but the bevy was high…

Straight Line of the Day: Nine Boxes of Documents Were Moved to and From Biden’s Lawyer’s Boston Office. Possibly In the Boxes: …

Nine Boxes of Biden Documents Were Taken From Boston Office
Fox News | March 8, 2023 | Kelly Laco

Nine boxes of documents were taken from President Biden’s attorney Patrick Moore’s Boston office, but have yet to be reviewed, the National Archives disclosed in a response letter to Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, this week first obtained by Fox News Digital.

The Archives had not previously publicly disclosed the number of boxes taken from Boston. It had been reported that Moore had shipped boxes of documents from the Penn Biden Center to his Boston office before discovering the initial trove of classified documents at the Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

In response to questions by Johnson and Grassley in a Feb. 24 letter asking how and when the archives learned that records were transported to Boston, Acting Archivist of the United States Debra Steidel Wall responded the agency learned about it on Nov. 3, 2022.

“When NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] contacted President Biden’s personal counsel on November 3, 2022, to arrange to pick up boxes from the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., they informed NARA that Mr. Moore had moved other boxes from the Penn Biden Center to Mr. Moore’s law firm in Boston,” the letter states.

In addition, the archives notified the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General on Nov. 4 that the documents had been moved. The documents were then picked up on Nov. 9 and were secured in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.

“NARA staff retrieved nine boxes from Mr. Moore’s Boston office,” Wall continued, which had not been previously known.
