Another umpire who needs to have a friendly encounter with Mr. Bat. #cubs

A little perspective for Lady Vol fans: Don’t judge an entire fanbase by the loudest idiots on social media. Every fanbase has them. Lord knows Tennessee has more than our fair share. Every Texas Tech fan I met at the WCWS this week has been nothing but respectful, welcoming, and passionate about their team. And as for the money? Spare me. College sports have become an arms race. We celebrate NIL, facilities, and donor support when it benefits our team. We can’t suddenly act offended when another fanbase does the same thing. The atmosphere in Oklahoma City has been incredible. Packed crowds, passionate fans, national attention, and programs investing in softball. That’s good for the sport whether we like who’s winning or not. Enjoy the games. Respect the fans. Save the hate for the scoreboard. Go Lady Vols 🍊

None, and Counsell doesn't seem to think he needs to do something. I didn't like it when he was hired, and I like it even less now.

Someone asked about Wrigley Field

These photos are a good reminder that Photographers argue about gear way more than history does. Some people will cheer because they were shot on Nikon. Some will say they would’ve looked better on Sony. Some will say the astronauts should’ve taken a Hasselblad and it would have been perfect. But that misses the point completely. These images, Earth, the Moon, Earth setting behind the lunar horizon, a close-up of a crater, were made on a journey around the Moon with 10-year-old Nikon DSLRs. And they’re stunning. And would have been stunning with a Lecia too, or a Canon, with similar focal lengths and sensor. Because great photographs are rarely about having the newest camera. They’re about having the right tool, knowing how to use it, and being ready when the moment happens. The brand didn’t make these images. The age of the camera didn’t make these images. The astronauts did. Their eye, their preparation, their connection to what they were seeing, and their ability to use the gear they had in one of the most extraordinary places humans have ever gone. Shoot, just hearing that they had proper shrouds over the windows and dimmed the lighting in the cabin to cut reflections, my photographer soul rejoiced! They thought through how to best capture the moments! Yes, being in the right place at the right time matters. In a moment like this, it may matter more than anything. But when that moment comes, what matters next is knowing your gear well enough to make the picture and being setup with the right gear to make it happen. Not chasing the newest model. Not arguing over logos. Not pretending the camera is the artist. Vision matters. Passion matters. Timing matters. But when that moment comes, what matters next is knowing your gear well enough to make the picture and being set up with the right gear to make it happen. moment happens.

The only decent shot I got of the lunar eclipse before clouds rolled in. Taken from my front yard in Powell, Tennessee. This is from my phone . I started setting up the camera, and when I looked back up the moon was in the clouds. #EclipseLunar #eclipse #Eclipse2026 #Eclipse2026
