Hey! It's eating my grain!

Much of the stock market is simply a graph of rich people’s feelings.

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

"Hey, sports fans! I LOVE ya! Today our guest is former umpire Jim Honochick." "You were a great player! A great glove." "I could sling the leather." "And what power!" "Born with it, baby! But I'm afraid we're out of time. So this is Bob Uecker signin off." "I thought you were Boog Powell??"

The Brewers just scored six runs in a span of 12 pitches.

We got YouTube TV trial for a visiting relative who wanted to watch college football over the weekend and this multi sport multiview thing is quite nice

This year’s saltwater floods have been particularly bad. But the reality is that these conditions will hit more frequently and impact more areas with each passing year. Sea level has risen 8 inches in 30 years in Miami. Another foot is expected in 30 years. Then another foot in the next 20 years.

The wrong Earhardt got lost over the Pacific.

Why in holy hell are they rebooting Baywatch?? Just start a JFF page and cut to the chase.

Imagine if the Guardians had made it and this was hanging over Game 3 at an outdoor ballpark. Beautiful.

Some problems solve themselves.

This is the only Walter Koenig Chekov ive drawn, but from reading all the wonderful posts and memories from the actor's life it feels fitting. Boldly Go, good sir. 🥃🖖🏻

If Shatner outlives Takei, I'm calling shenanigans!

Very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Judy and Walter the last 25 years. A sweet and funny man, and always willing to bitch about the Yankees.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George
