Adding my contribution to the kitty on Labor Day

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has now officially surpassed the $30M amount Warner Bros. originally planned to write the film off for. The film is now projected to earn over $60M domestically.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (The fact that I just turned 58 and would love to retire early has NOTHING to do with this)

It would be so simple to enact a rule about who gets to grab the ball out of the net after a goal. So fucking simple to stop these children.

As we get older, worrying about what others think can get in the way of creativity, risk-taking and learning. Taskmaster Club says: Be silly. Get it wrong. Think differently. Work together. Have fun. 👉 Bring Taskmaster Club to your school and see what your pupils can do.

Brittany Apgar who was born small right forearm, half of a palm and no fingers on her right hand and had 12 surgeries by the age of 4 got a new prosthetic this week and went 2-4 with an RBI in her Women's Pro Baseball League debut tonight (as a batter, pinch ran in the opener).

My "favorite" part about the return of Ted Lasso is all the critics who can't wait to tell people why they shouldn't like Ted Lasso even though a lot of people love Ted Lasso.

And, for the record, I read one positive review which spent far too much real estate on the people who made hating Ted Lasso their personality and then remembered that I don't need permission to like what I like or praise for following my own tastes. You do you. Just don't shit on people's joy.

I don't want "a good return." I want this team that has so much talent and is close to a wild card to fucking win games the next two months.

A downgrade at catcher and four guys who may never play for the team. What a fucking irresponsible clown.

The Red Sox acquired C Adley Rutschman from the Orioles for C Carlos Narvaez, Anthony Eyanson, Eddy Azocar, Kyson Witherspoon, and Harold Rivas, per Jacob Calvin Meyer

Mind numbingly stupid

The Orioles are trading catcher Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox, source confirmed, and as @JeffPassan reported. Baltimore's franchise cornerstone, whom Mike Elias drafted first overall in 2019, heads to an American League East foe.

Just overheard this in the hotel lobby and it killed me. GUY: [inexplicably bragging about how he doesn't need to use deodorant that often] A stick can last me like two years. WOMAN: [bored] Crazy. Are you taking the cap off?

Sure we didn't advance past the Round of 16, but we do have the grand old tradition of older players shitting on the current team

I made really good (well, to me) fried rice tonight with some grilled chicken, mushrooms and onions. Never made it before. I'm basically a professional chef now.
