@davidjroth.bsky.social, found a random pack of XL ‘84 Donruss cards wedged into my bookcase and thought you might want to have a look. I’m sorry but I like this era better. I assume they had brainstorming sessions to come up with the idea of just making them bigger.

In the same way that a loser fail kid of some billionaire will always “emerge stronger,” from their latest misanthropic scam. They’ll be just as awful, but also always and forever one of only two options.

I've sold a house, so I know realtors work hard to strip all the personality from it in service of squeezing an extra .5% out of buyers. But I sometimes wonder if most of these sports guys houses actually never look like a real person lives there.
I can confirm that this “caused turbulence and discombobulation in the mathematics community.” of which I am a member.
This (well done) article makes me want to crawl in a hole and never come out.
I feel like this is the kind of "cultural" product that could work its way into a Trump bit. Maybe he can workshop it in conjunction with the birds being killed by windmills? "The whales are eating people, we're seeing it, nobody can believe it. I said, the whales? They're eating people?"
If you go up to the box office and say "one adult for the movie where the whale eats a guy, please" they have to give it to you. There's no law that says you have to say Whalefall or whatever it's called.
A belated Happy October to the entire autumn man community.
This is like when my wife “catches me” watching an Armenia-Finland match during the international break.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

"Our internal polling indicates that football remains incredibly popular. Even the general idea of Charlie Brown successfully booting a football, which we concede has never come close to happening, nevertheless polls modestly well across most major neighborhood demographics." buff.ly/X2RjqP5

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.
It's me, Mr. Autumn Man.

Here's a non-paywalled version of the reporting on Canada becoming a possible "associate member" of the EU. It suggests Canada is willing to agree free movement of people, which (if true) would mean that the EU would be willing to agree more internal market access. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

They’re spinning off Reacher but with a normal-sized lady which I’m not certain will work.
