Wife over here using the crow caller to send out thirsty caws to the neighborhood corvids.

Well that was the shittiest xylophone solo I’ve ever heard.

Just started watching @jonbois.bsky.social History of Charging the Mound, and it suddenly occurs to me that the batting helmet face shield makes it easier for the batter to avoid looking at the pitcher after a HBP and may have contributed to the extinction of mound charging events.

I’ve tried this in the past and what I always find is that my reading speed is naturally highly variable and so I was either speeding the audio up to 1.75x or slowing it down to .85 and doing that was more distracting than my usual just reading a book with music playing.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Visiting in-laws in Ohio this weekend, and all the known Trump supporters in their neighborhood have removed all their Trump signs. Haven’t seen a single one this entire time. They’ll all probably still vote Trump, but at least they feel some shame about it. If that counts for anything.

Rays think they can get Holliday out, and they’re probably right.

For most of my adult life, the dream haircut was 90s Lyle Lovett, but after today I think it’ll be 00s Jon Hamm.

The Calm app’s Sleep > Soundscapes category sorely missing “Bowling Alley”.

Oh man, the A’s pitcher Ginn is gonna get sent down to the minors before he even makes it all the way back to the dugout.

Yeah, it’s a real problem.

Some real Wes Anderson bullshit

A “jamoke” is someone from Staten Island/North Jersey, right?

This has been a very Thursday Tuesday.

HA HA VS Code sucks so hard how the fuck do I turn off automatic updates

With pitching like this, Jorbit Vivas ain’t making the Hall.

David Roth has already started writing a 10,000 word opus about WTF is happening in this Mets game right now.

Fuck yeah bases loaded bunt!

WOW The Tigers uniforms suuuuuuuuuuck.

Had to pull out the ol’ “Don’t you know who I am!” while picking up a gallon of milk at 7-11 this afternoon.

Listening to the audiobook for PKD's "Eye in the Sky", and the narrator, David Aaron Baker, sounds like he can do a real mean Richard Nixon impersonation.

Just listened to an album that has that “artist describes it as a spiritual journey” sound.

Just having so many challenges with this Turkish-designed uğurlu packaging.

Watching Phantom Menace with the kids, and the two-headed pod racing announcer is definitely from Space Baltimore.

I hate lists like this because while I’ve read over a quarter of the books on this list, I’ve probably read 2/3rds of the authors. I’m reading the wrong books by the right authors?

To be fair….

Bald men in a hair club.

Atlassian products are like a serial killer posing as a salesman trying to get in your house. Jira is the killer’s foot in the door, and Confluence is his knife.

Started “Caravaggio: The Palette and the Sword”, and I’m surprised how it’s not as horny as one would expect just glancing through the pages.

That’s not tahdig. The rice isn’t burnt. That’s not a tahdig rice cooker, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to spread the rice. This is some straight up white lady fake-ass horseshit. www.instagram.com/reel/DVIADsS...

Get your shit together, Mariners!

Why the hell are there so many Yankees fans at my kids’ school? All these elementary school motherfuckers are born and raised in Baltimore, and they’re showing up for school in full kit wanker mode.

Why don’t pitchers wear tank tops?

There are some early Animal Collective albums that were just too weird even for me about 15 years ago. I’m giving them a second chance starting tomorrow.

Rutschman with 3 RBIs in the bottom of the 5th!

Sketchy crow business in the pine tree across the street this morning.

Me: Wife: “I’ve never owned a Phil Collins album.”

Wife: “3 popups to the shortstop on 6 pitches is the Devil’s Inning.”

Astros uniforms make them look like 1950s gas station attendants.

Mariners uniforms are such an artifact of the 90s. They need a refresh so we can get “Throwback 90s” jerseys after I die in 40 years.

Franz Ferdinand’s “Evil Eye” is the millennials’ “Monster Mash”.

Mustard did it to themself. Relish is completely innocent.

Art But Make It Sports Tchotchkes.

Coby Mayo is batting .167, the only starter batting under .200, and yet--AND YET--he's batting 5th as the DH tonight. Meanwhile, Samuel Basallo, batting .257, is sitting on the bench. What. The. Ever-loving. Hell.

The son of the founder of Axios goes to High Point University? Color me .. bored.

Cat jumps down from a ledge and lands awkwardly on the floor. Wife: “Well that was embarrassing.”

Wait, that’s what Chet Holgrum looks like now?

I read Brian Evenson’s “Last Days” almost 5 years ago, and in that time, I’ve never read anything else that tops it in weirdness. I might have to read it again to get it unstuck out of my brain.

Rockies just hit a grand slam to go ahead of the Mets 6-2 in the bottom of the 8th, and there are so few fans at the game, I thought it was in New York given the crowd noise. Either contract the Rockies or move them to Memphis/Nashville/Raleigh/Charlotte.
