From Sports Illustrated, under the headline "Shohei Ohtani Plays Most Magnificent Game of All Time to Lead Dodgers to Pennant."

gonna leave a note that says "it's *fewer* assholes"

You know how some games are "solved"? Like tic tac toe or checkers, as I recall? If that could happen in baseball, the guy to do it is playing for the Dodgers right now.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

"Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand" Meat of any kind. Irréversible. "Mr. Brightside."

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. "Licensing error. TRADOS terminating."

Signal Boosting having found and stitched it off on my own account

These hurtful, threatening times fill me with sadness and anger. But I will not let my anger make me cruel or unfeeling, especially towards those I hold dear. Our enemies have not earned our kindness, but nor have they earned the right to strip us of ours.

Be more ... uh, Klingon?

Now that the Cubs have won their game one, let's go Dodgers!

Cynicism is often the easiest position we can take, surrendering before even putting up a fight. Empathy and hope, a hunger for something better, are worthier paths. After all, it takes courage to strive for better days, to right what's wrong, to seek the sun even through the darkest of clouds.

Great historical bilingual pun. Last week I learned that the French left wing would caustically refer to the appeasement-pushing British PM as “Monsieur J’Aime Berlin”. I mean, that’s classy.

At the gym. It's > 90° out (amd dry!), and they just played "We Are 138" and "Bro Hymn." If I squint, I could be back in California.

Naught but a leap to the left And thanne a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

While trying not to be sheepish about picking up my 2.5 pound baby weights to do shoulder rotations with, I said that basically my training plan right now is whatever my physical therapist tells me to do. Homie nodded approvingly and went, that's a plan, it's serious business. That's a true gym bro.

Parkour.

Jen Pawol deserves the congrats for being the first umpire to call a regular season game in #MLB. She also should be the second, or even further down, because Pam Postema deserved that chance first in 1988-1989. Giamatti's death halted that progress.

The manhole cover by the supermarket around the corner, here, was made in a country that no longer exists. And the supermarket used to be an East German cooperative shop. The decor still kinda looks like it.

I just saw SIX GREYHOUNDS in the park. SIX!

I was just out for a stroll to pick up some groceries and this building got deep on me. I always forget, and then every time I pass by this place, I noticed this.

Ah, this must be from “Live Laugh Love’s Labour’s Lost.”
