Sam Neill. One of the greats. 🫡

Haha definitely a suboptimal series—a big, steaming pile of 💩, in fact! So we tried to send folks off into the break with the smallest of jokes.

I feel bad when @stephennelson.bsky.social gets the stinker series on TV, but “Sorry for watching” was a good line.

The Dodgers need to bring a portable steamer for their little background curtain on road games.

@stephennelson.bsky.social’s call of that walk off was so joyful

It’s insanity. I keep going back for more.

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Welp.

Something about shortstop errors in Dodgers perfect game bids.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Good gravy what a great slide by Alex Call. Baseball is exciting!

I guess it makes sense but it’s interesting that Orel Hershiser can call up the replay room in NY to get a ruling is. Good stuff!

I wish they’d give poor Dr. Nia Heard-Garris more safety tips for kids so we didn’t have to see her water tips for the third year in a row.

JOHN FOGERTY: I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain JAMES TAYLOR: okay, you’re not gonna fucking believe this

I just watched The Devil Wears Prada for the first time. Here’s my take: * Andy did nothing wrong. * Andy’s friends were terrible and unsupportive. * Andy should have met the magazine editor. * Andy should not have taken her boyfriend back. * This movie undersells how awful these industries are.

@chadmoriyama.bsky.social can we get a gif of how surprised/pleased that kid was to catch the Pages foul?

They’re professionals so it shouldn’t be a surprise, but @stephennelson.bsky.social and Rick Monday are at the absolute top of their games calling Dodgers games this season.

sometimes you just have to go all-caps in the headline www.theverge.com/podcast/9170...

We’ve got a new revision of the SNLA scorebug. Much better ABS challenge indicators. Still DIN ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In case you were wondering how Foundation is going, there’s a cult putting on an interpretive dance show during a trial.

Nice of ESPN to show a baseball game during this podcast.

It’s hard to state how HARD these camera shots are for Integrity’s return. These are insanely good camera ops.

Not getting a locals presale as an LA guy and Olympics superfan feels pretty sad right now.

Lauren Betts is very good at basketball.

NASA GO/NO-GOs are still so thrilling.

The damage phase music on Rhulk in Vow of the Disciple is still SO very good. #destiny

UCLA women are very good

I take objection to the band playing THAT at the Dodgers ring ceremony.

I appreciate Anthony Anderson wearing a mail-order customized Majestic jersey like a normal fan.

Booo the NBC scorebug with only two “outs” spots.

ahhh she's thanking her cast. i thought she said her cats

I think Kumail Nanjiani is the first Taskmaster cast member to present at the Oscars.

The World Baseball Classic is so cool.

@ericstephen.bsky.social the delivery of “no I KNOW” when the dude tries to ride the stationary bike out of the Verizon commercial is good.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Maybe they were Profarlactic steroids.

I’ve been enjoying Marathon. I’d like to request a “no moths eating worms” filter for the wonderfully creepy loading screens, however @marathonthegame.bungie.net.

I am basic.

I like the blowy flagpoles

The Murdoch papers all running an Eileen Gu smear campaign is unsurprising but gross.

@annaleen.bsky.social I’m making noodles tonight because I’m so enchanted by this book

Wow figure skating is really really difficult.

loving each country being walked in by a Winter Bene Gesserit

ITT: Olympics Opening Ceremony thoughts #olympics

Me when there is no fish sauce on this ship. (Cc @annleckie.com )

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

I don’t know if yelling at @adamschiff.com to do something, anything, made me feel better or made me feel angrier.
