Phillies go scoreless most of the day and lose to the Rangers in 10 innings
On a cold day at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies lost 5-4 to the Texas Rangers in 10 innings in Game 2. Philadelphia managed one hit through eight innings and trailed 3-0 entering the ninth, but scored three two-out runs to tie it after a Jake Burger error extended the inning, including an RBI double by Adolis Garcia and a two-run single from Brandon Marsh. Texas regained the lead with two runs in the 10th against closer Jhoan Duran, one on a wild pitch and one on a single, and Bryce Harper’s RBI single pulled the Phillies within one before Alec Bohm’s popup ended it. Aaron Nola allowed two homers over five innings, and Texas starter Jacob deGrom was scratched, but replacement Jacob Latz kept Philadelphia hitless for more than four innings; the Phillies are now 1-1.
Protesters Join Thousands of “No Kings” Rallies Across the United States
Demonstrators nationwide took part in thousands of “No Kings” rallies on Saturday, protesting President Donald Trump over issues including immigration enforcement and foreign policy. The main rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, focused on the impacts of a federal immigration crackdown known as “Operation Metro Surge,” including community trauma and the earlier deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis involving ICE agents.

Similar protests took place in cities such as Chicago and New York, with participants citing concerns about government spending, military action without congressional approval, and threats to democracy; the White House dismissed the rallies as inconsequential, while organizers said more than 3,200 events were planned.

Playful Space Dice Kit Highlights Clever Design
Oskitone’s Space Dice is an educational DIY electronics kit that combines a vintage sci‑fi sound generator with an electronic six‑sided dice roller, built without any microcontroller. It uses just three CMOS logic chips to drive six LEDs and generate sound, including repurposing unused gates to boost the speaker output. The design also minimizes parts and avoids extra fasteners or adhesives, using a lever mechanism to connect a large external button to an offset PCB switch, and it includes step-by-step documentation with an evolving schematic. The kit is available to buy, with design files and guides also published online.
