Wes Anderson's films are underappreciated because many critics worry that criticism isn't a serious-enough activity and therefore reject his comedic (albeit complex, substantial, even philosophical) approach to his films' truly serious matters. Dourness is taken for importance.

the irony of playing “Glory Days” at the end of a prospects game

dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?...

Royals better than the Rangers for the next decade: confirmed

Pretty sure if these people walked into a real, actual, normal school, they’d melt à la the wicked witch.

We’re in about round 30 (of 50), I resisted the KC homer urge for a long time (and it cost me Chourio), but now I have David Shields, Sean Gamble, Michael Lombardi, Angeibel Gomez, Freddy Contreras, who is typically billed as, amazingly, a younger version of Chourio. Who himself is 18.

Had a great idea for a mutual aid project at school

🌚 NIGHT TIME PLAYLIST 🌚 I’ve done a playlist of songs I tend to put on at night, usually to wind down. Nothing very obscure but that’s not the point. Featuring ragas, folk, jazz etc. Maybe you’d dig 🤷‍♂️

Jazz car is complete

Exactly: there are no shortcuts to things that really matter. Learning really matters.

That’s what I tell my students. My brain will be fine. I studied, got my PhD, got tenure. They are the ones whose brains will be at a disadvantage because they chose not to develop them.

YES!!

My allegiances are strong, and they are definitively Salvador Perez & Maikel Garcia > the United States of America

in addition to these Chromebooks hocking AI crap, they're just *JUNK MACHINES*, and I don't say that as An Old. They are objectively crappy products, the keys are always sticking, the mouse pad is ridiculously slow, etc. etc. etc.

I'm in a draft and hold keeper league, 50-man rosters and only non-debuted guys, and we're conducting the draft over email. Each player gets up to an hour to pick, but the clock restarts whenever a pick is made. I have the most Spring Fever-addled brain I have ever had.

refreshing to not hear the US National Anthem before a baseball game

Breaking News: A New Jersey woman who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University in 2024 has been released from a federal detention center in Texas, where she had been held for more than a year. She has not been charged with a crime. nyti.ms/4sJs8In

in Vineland the French 75 analogue is a radical documentary collective, and I think this works better than making them a revolutionary cadre. I also like the Zoyd Wheeler character more than Bob Ferguson — and I wonder if PTA shied away from DL the ninjette bc Tarantino basically did it in Kill Bill

Woof, terrible call

Play by play: What is Mason Miller doing here? Color: Gotta go fastball. I concur.

The Secret Agent will always be my best picture of the year. Such a stunner.

I had coffee in addition to a Diet Coke so my movements today are like that of a small and terrified forest creature

It's going to be a battle of Royal captains on Monday night; Salvy vs Vinnie. Jac vs Maikel. Should be a LOT of fun.

We watched The Hunted (2003)

30 years ago tonight:

I'll continue banging the drums about the fact that capitalism has deskilled us in detrimental ways. We need to skill up re: many things like conflict resolution, reproductive health, first aid, etc etc etc

When you look at the Dominican lineup for the life of me I don’t see how they ever lose. In a 162-game season they’re winning 140 games

Mark DeRosa is not good at this

What a blessing Ms. Rachel is

Five’ll get you ten I’m plum tuckered out

The weather today feels Shakespearean

Hilarious to me that I got a (bad) offer sending me Cags earlier tonight, didn’t respond, then the person withdrew the offer by the time I got home, ostensibly after watching Cags batter baseballs. You can’t be living like this

I saw episode 8 of The Return on the big screen tonight. Bucket list item ✅

I am done thinking of synonyms for evil, for ‘the cruelty is the point.’ Pure unfiltered evil for the sake of it.

What on earth are we doing this for?

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

I recently did a cardiac stress test and the person told me “actually your heart is possibly less stressed when you’re running” which was both great and a little disconcerting to hear

Glad they installed a bus lane on university, for buses, bikers, right turns, and assholes

Just thought, ah man I left a book at home, why? then remembered Freddy was sleeping on it and I couldn’t disturb
