Tidy little murder mystery.

I'm sensing a consensus that Pizza Hut's new buyer needs to restore the lunch buffet, but to really revive the brand you need to restore the classy vibe created by the glass lampshades

Free media story for someone to report out: Is the talent at ABC News upset about the prospect of being blacked out on YouTube TV on Election Night?

Bless this man. If not for him, I surely would have starved in my early 20s.

Best series that didn’t involve Eric Hosmer sliding into home since 2001. See you at Bills-Chiefs

Pitchers with 35+ innings and a sub-1.50 ERA in a single postseason: John Smoltz 0.95 in 1996 (38 innings) Madison Bumgarner 1.03 in 2014 (52.2) Orel Hershiser 1.05 in 1988 (42.2) Curt Schilling 1.12 in 2001 (48.1) Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1.45 in 2025 (37.1)

Best pitching performance in a WS since Madison Bumgarner in 2014

We need this World Series game to end exactly at fall-back time.

I was 16 and in the hospital and so I slept through much of the 1991 World Series, which SI rubbed in by dubbing it the best ever. This series is making up for it except I am 50 and on my couch and in danger of sleeping through it

The Denver Broncos! You just don’t understand football, Marge.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Strict speaking, this is a Findings of Fact and Law. Looks favorably for plaintiffs, but I am distracted by this ancillary thing. Young closes with a note to his correspondent, inviting him to drop by the Boston courthouse next time he's in town (postcard was postmarked from Philly)

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio. It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply card: "Trump has pardons and tanks, what do you have?" WGY: "We the People of the United States — you and me — have our magnificent Constitution"

I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city. And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night. Impressive. Like London 1940.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is as great as you've heard. I've been thinking about it constantly since I saw it. It should not be overlooked how fantastic DiCaprio is in it. I wrote for @washingtonpost.com about how it might be his definitive Gen-X role. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
