@benlindbergh.bsky.social I’m listening to a bonus EW episode from May, so apologies if you’ve already figured this out, but you can avoid the auto-purging of emails by applying a “save” label to them. (Anyway, that mostly worked for me when I was there, albeit with a few anomalies.)

If you can’t fire the right people in the ball club, fire the NESN production team at least.

The didn’t change the name to The Department of Major Combat Operations for nothing.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Are you watching the World Series tonight? Well, here's a fun fact to share with your fellow fans: In this week's podcast, @benzimmer.bsky.social explains how "jazz" was baseball slang from 1912. Yes, "jazz" started as a BASEBALL term! 1/3 🎧 pod.link/173429229

I have not felt this bad about the Red Sox since the Bobby Valentine days. Blegh.

Only took them like twenty tries to make another good Star Wars thing.

Robocop (1987) - Director Paul Verhoeven

“They made a show of perp walking Luigi down the streets of New York, where he was not captured, flanked by an army of storm troopers who did not capture him, as well as New York mayor and famous canned ham Eric Adams, who also didn't do shit to catch him. A McDonald's worker did the thankless job.”

This year’s World Series feels like a million years ago, let alone 2004’s! But I’ll share this now in your doom-scroll feed, anyway — 2004, 2016, and 2020 vibes: rabbitrabbitrabbit.substack.com/p/the-good-t...

Hello again, fourth Twitter-like thing that I sporadically check sometimes because some of you are here instead of over there, or at that other place, or that other other place… Here is me promoting myself on social media again, like a donk. open.substack.com/pub/rabbitra...

Dear fourth Twitter-like website, here is your link to my tardy, unfocused monthly newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/rabbitra...

Hello, twitter-like website No. 4. My September newsletter. Just in time for October: open.substack.com/pub/rabbitra...

Foreshadow much!

A trip to Green-Wood Cemetery, trying to imagine the Revolutionary War happening outside my front door, and blurry photos of birds. Hello, Twitter-like network that’s not Twitter. It’s June: https://rabbitrabbitrabbit.substack.com/p/i-see-dead-people

“We are proud to bring the written word into the future with revolutionary technology that delivers the one thing readers are most passionate about: efficiency.”

What’s great about having Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky accounts is trying to think of three ways to toot the same thing. (Luckily, my only followers here are bots.) Anyway, new newsletter is out. Or as I always like to say, BEEP-BOOP, BOP-BOOP!

Where is Jason Alexander?
