BREAKING: Claude Mythos discovers 60-year old computing bug, PEBCAK, that's been silently plagued the tech industry for years. It suggests resolving it by eliminating the entity in the middle and replacing it with a more efficient model.

Watching my son’s baseball coaches use a pitching machine to gleefully launch balls into the outfield for the boys to catch us the most dad thing I’ve seen in months…

The fact that this exists, but somehow isn’t a part of the Olympics is an indication of how far we have all fallen as a society…

During part of this we discussed Alpine Luge, which is an amazing sliding sport that sadly is not in the Olympics. Anyway, here's what that looks like, with one of the greatest to ever doing it giving the demonstration down the track in Deutschnofen

My dad somehow managed to get HBO using a dedicated terrestrial dish antenna sniffing a relay signal to the cable provider just so I could watch this. At least that’s why I thought he did it.

Xennial and GenX memory. 'Fraggle Rock' aired its first episode on HBO 43 years ago today. The show ran for five seasons from January 10, 1983 to March 30, 1987.

Apparently you can make a Satan’s Whistle sound good!? Did not see that coming…

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

The world is shit but this gives me hope…

"In an era when it’s exceedingly hard to learn what the Old Masters knew, Art + Water will impart those skills. These emerging artists must know how to draw, and from there, they’ll be taught everything Rembrandt was taught." - Dave Eggers

Apparently if you are a Xennial male, you are required to text all of your male friends to share your excitement about Spaceballs 2. I don’t make the rules, I just live by them…

In another blow to legacy media, I'm hearing that the Trump administration plans to remove The Atlantic from its war-plans group chat. The outlet will be replaced in the chat by the Gateway Pundit.

Rickey was my favorite ballplayer of all time. He was larger than life, excitement personified. He was Oakland. I can’t believe he’s gone, mainly because if you’d asked me a few days ago, I would’ve said I thought he could still step into the batter’s box, draw a walk and steal second. What a loss.

Rickey: 14th all-time in WAR. Scored 2295 runs (Freddy Freeman is the active leader with 1298). Walked 2190 times. Stole 1406 bases. Won 1 MVP and deserved at least two more (finished 3rd in '85, lost to his own teammate). 28 HoF voters voted "no" and should've been kicked out of the BBWAA.
