I also suddenly realized a few years ago that • carrot is a vegetable • one British slang term for policeman is “peeler” • therefore Constable Carrot is a vegetable peeler I don’t think this is ever explicitly mentioned in the text. A true pun-master, trolling us from beyond the grave.

What could be more Halloween than a BAT? How about a bat colored like a JACK-O-LANTERN? Let's meet the Painted Bat (Kerivoula picta), also called the butterfly bat, native to SE Asia. 🦇🎃 (📷: MerlinTuttle.org)

In the 1950s, portrait photographer Philippe Halsman would ask his subjects to jump in the air so they would loosen up for subsequent shots. Among Halsman's subjects was Judge Learned Hand, then in his 80s. The request resulted in the photo below. smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

Shout out Tim Ream, the ultimate “I lived, b*tch” national-team career bsky.app/profile/cboe...
TR deserves his flowers. I was thinking back to an interview I did with him 3.5 years ago, at this point in the last WC cycle, where many USMNT fans felt it was time to say goodbye. He'd already beaten the odds to feature in 2022, after all. Ream said come and take it. Lo and behold, no one did:
Nerdcamp expands to Atlanta, whoo!
The ACFC acronym matches Angel City FC, already an #NWSL team, but Atlanta won't use it. They will use ATL CTY for short. I assume "ATL" would be their TV code (I asked but that is not decided; Angel City uses "LA" anyway). Angel City is ACFC: "They own that equity."

Alas, I'm toning down my profanity in every-day conversation (and the classroom). That said, I cannot resist reminding you all of this seasonal tradition. "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

Raise that other hand if you watched the 2014 NWSL Championship Aug 31 that year. Harvey's Seattle (Rapinoe, Fishlock, Solo) hosted Vlatko's FCKC (A-Rod, Holiday, Sauerbrunn) & again the visiting team won. The 2013-14 finals were the only ones hosted by highest seed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y-y...
Raise your virtual hand if you remember watching the inaugural NWSL Championship on this day in 2013! Shield winner WNY Flash (Wambach, Lloyd, Zerboni, AFranch) hosted Portland (Heath, Morgan, Sinclair, LeBlanc). Heath scored GWG off a sick direct FK goal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nopY...

The run by Lauren to set up the second goal was truly amazing and I still think about it often, even 12 years later
#OTD 2014 – FC Kansas City denies Seattle a NWSL championship 2-1 before a sold-out Starfire. Amy Rodriguez, who missed 2013 season for Reign before being traded, scores both KC goals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y-y...

A bear cub in Alaska recently taste-tested the footwear of a photographer, who got a rare close-up. “I didn’t feel anything other than a little tug,” the photographer said. nyti.ms/4qOadAP
