Reminds me of college...

The Brewers' offensive explosion has really overshadowed the fact that Gasser faced the minimum through 6. Not a perfect game, but wow.

Glad to know it's not just my imagination that Phish is overrepresented in the bumper music choices in the Fox world series broadcast. I guess it's been this way for years. A 2021 article on the subject: www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/entert...

They said it couldn't be done. Truly a historic moment to see a professional basketball team win a game without ... their owner.

My own preference page was pretty accurate, but this thread is hysterical

Do you ever have a random pen that lasts longer than it has any right to? I pulled out this pen to write a shopping list and realized that the company was acquired more than 20 years ago, and the product branding has likely been dead for at least 15. I probably don't use it every week, but still...

Since 1910, there have been 124,497 innings on record in AL/NL play with at least 4 hits recorded. Only 82 (0.07%) were scoreless. This is the first one since 2015. (h/t Michael Mountain)

I noticed that Bowling for Soup is playing in Raleigh next weekend, and then realized that their hit "1985" was released closer to 1985 than to today.

Complete game stats this year: * 14 total across the majors so far * 4 of them have been CG losses, all of which were 8-inning efforts * The Rangers have won 2 of those 4 Kudos to Shane Baz. Also to former Ranger Leody Taveras for being the only Oriole to score (and almost score again).

Kudos to @jgerth.bsky.social for this one. www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Looking for a hotel for my next trip on a travel app, and I found this under amenities. Exactly what kinds of "conferences" happen in this space? Do I want to know?

@juphoff.bsky.social curious about your opinion here. Why did the home plate umpire not even seem to weigh in? Why didn't they go to replay? It seems the epitome of "you could have easily fixed this and just didn't care."

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Just saw this in the airport. This sign didn't age well.

Possibly the best thing in Moma's current Duchamp show is this 1913 newspaper cartoon poking fun at his "Nude Descending a Staircase"

We already KNOW how to make super babies, you eugenicist creeps! And it's all the things you fucking fucks are fucking up! THREAD!

We all have days like this

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

I really enjoyed the Netflix Conan O'Brien special. The comedy was good, but his acceptance speech near the end was excellent.

In case you're looking around for your next boycott...

I feel old and out of touch today. I took my son to see Minecraft, not realizing that there was a "trend" of people ruining the movie with constant screaming, throwing popcorn buckets, riding on each other's shoulders, etc. I gave up when I got showered with soda about 75 minutes in. 😞

Effective immediately: Heard Island will be canceling our contract with Spacex for ALL future space travel. Dr. Amelia Sealhart and CPT Charles Icebergh will be leading our charge to adapt all flightless birds to flight capability. This will supplement our already extensive Albatross Space Force

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”. Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

Despite the title, this article is not about marriage; it's about women more generally deciding that in the current culture war, they can do without men and be better off. It reminds me of Lysistrata, except that our modern war is over women's own rights. Gift link: www.wsj.com/lifestyle/re...

I volunteered at Food Bank CENC yesterday, and boy does that place always have weird projects to be done. Saturday's mission was to sort through and bundle 12,000 Capri Sun pouches, discarding leaky ones, cleaning the sticky mess off of the good ones, and making sure they all had straws attached.

This hotel is still embracing the 20th century.

During a time when so much is wrong in this country in the world, it feels good to be at a conference with people finding ways to do some good both locally and globally. #rotary

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

I expected it to be bad, but I didn't expect things to get this screwed up this fast. Pure insanity. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I don't know who I followed today to trigger it, but after months of very few bots trying to follow me here, I've had to block at least twenty today. (I say had to, but it also seems that bluesky shut some of them down before I blocked, so maybe if I ignore them they will mostly go away)

Proud dad moment: I saw the score distribution for this year's AMC 10 competition and realized that my son scored in the top half ... as a sixth grader. But even better than that, he's become very engaged in the Art of Problem Solving site since taking the test. It's so cool to see.

Today I was going down a musical rabbit hole and learned that Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs (from the Bangles) teamed up for *three albums* of awesome covers between 2006 and 2013, and I love this so much. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_t...
