I love baseball

Oh. That doesn’t seem right

Biblically accurate Furby, be not afraid

FLIP comes out Sept 23rd and I'M GOING ON TOUR THIS FALL TO PROMOTE IT!!! ✨ (And this is missing 2 stops that I can't announce yet. @_@) Am I coming to your city? ✨ ngoziu.com/events ✨

The NL West is incredible, 4 out of 5 teams have a positive run differential but the combined run differential is -200 thanks to the Rockies

Turning on the light to Tuesday. Today's sunrise in Chicago.

I think about this all the time

No cheating, post your lockscreen

Stephen A Smith having Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams on his show is a fever dream. What world is this

The world is very bad, but I found a squirrel that looks like Napoleon

27 was the number I wore in youth sports. That's how long I've used this handle lol.

I am not Stephen Colbert. Just a fan who adopted his name as an Playstation handle 17 years ago and kept it for everything else. Please do not @ me with things pertaining to Mr. Colbert or his show.

I saw this in Tumblr years ago and it's been living in my head. I've never been able to find it again so I remade it myself.

Ok so I didn’t really need that in my adult beverage but thanks for sharing

there has to be a better way to phrase a going out of business sale

Learned last night that we’re getting a Netflix miniseries on the Garfield assassination with Michael Shannon as Garfield and Nick Offerman as Chester A. Arthur, and how are we not all talking about this? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

Completely idiotic decision by the NHL to black out any game with Ovi. One goal away from setting the record and people in Chicago can't watch it unless they have the extra special NHL package.

hwatevah one mahht say for Lee and his ordahs, and this and that military wisdom and so on, one must agree that Pickett's chahge was ah prahme example of "livin mas". unfortunately for the men undah his command it also led to dyin mas

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

I wonder if noted Marxist historian Howard Zinn was aware Karl Max strongly supported Abraham Lincoln and the Union during the Civil War. Seems unlikely.

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

veteran journalists encouraging aspiring journalists to enter the field

Someone else can probably do a better job of it, but here's "Syrian Girl"'s meltdown video for Bluesky. Three pieces to fit the 1 min limit. 1/3..

I remember there was an ardent leftist Assad supporter in my university History Club. I still think about him from time to time.

Illinois won and THE Ohio State University lost in hilarious fashion. Today is going great

Time Out Market in Chicago: Pretty cool!

This is actually something neat about how Tolkien, to my mind, understands and presents power and contests of power. Supernatural characters don't have don't have a static 'power level' like a D&D character and their strength often isn't show in straight fights.

Today is the day I get my window AC units put in. Hopefully.

The man next to me at the Chicago Tottenham bar has a bacon calendar and ordered 6 sides of bacon. I am concerned.

Finished Robert Caro's Master of the Senate, book 3 of his biographical series on LBJ. My main takeaways are 1. LBJ's high degree of competence in ruling the titular body is matched only by his assholeary in personal matters

The frustration of finishing a book but being unable to update my progress on goodreads

In Memoriam, VP of Sales Harry Ellis - Harry was making deals right up to the end.

Naoya Inoue became just the third fighter (after Terrance Crawford and Katie Taylor) to become undisputed in two different weight classes, knocking out a very game Tapales in 10. We'll see if Usyk can become the fourth in February.

FROM: [email protected] What a year! While the events of last Christmas left much of the office destroyed and several of our Nakatomi family deceased, we appreciate everyone’s flexibility with work from home. That said, Nakatomi prides itself on its office culture so effective immediately all employe

Deleted Twitter. Felt good.

interesting to think about michael lewis' relationship to SBF vs michael oher. confronted with the criminality of the former, his response is "look what they're doing to my beautiful boy," confronted with the fact that he abetted the exploitation of the latter, his response is "he's ungrateful."

Thomas Giberti, the manager of the Lewiston bowling alley, helped children escape the building safely, even as he was shot 7 times in the legs. Giberti had what he hopes is his last surgery today. “He’s always one to think of the kids first,” a friend said. “He’s the best guy you can think of.”

Forgot how utterly freezing my apartment gets the minute the temp outside drops below 50 degreess. Thought I was coming down with something

Illinois football is not allowed to have nice things

Feel like Hail Caesar! is a really underappreciated film. Sharp, funny, and a nostalgic but mindful look back at the absurdity of the studio system.

Watching Welcome to Wrexham, it's tough because of how much the Rob/Ryan bits feel like an exercise in brand building and corporate propaganda. See: Wrexham begging for public money to fund stadium renovation. But love the way it showcases the players and everyday fans. More of that pls.

Finally got on a boat out of Dunkirk
