Longtime Angels outfielder Garret Anderson dies at 53 Outfielder Garret Anderson, who played 15 of his 17 major league seasons with the Angels and is a member of the team's hall of fame, has died at the age of 53.

Oh no. Garrett (and Salmon, Eckstein, Glaus et al) was part of my favorite era of Angels baseball.

Hot take on Pattinson. Not that you asked, and using your assertion that West is off in his own universe, mine is:
1. Keaton
2. Bale
3. Kilmer
4. Pattinson/Affleck (tie)
5-99. Reserved
100. Clooney. Although I think Clooney with a better script and MUCH better director could have done much better.

Davey Lopes, prolific base stealer and World Series champion, dies at 80 Lopes was one of the game's elite base-stealers in the 1970s and 1980s, and is currently 26th all-time in stolen bases.

Davey Lopes visited my t-ball team when I was 9, and spent an hour sharing tips. He was very nice and my mom loved his stolen bases. RIP. www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

Hey Filipino friends, why have you all been hiding the existence of nata de coco from me? That stuff's delicious!

The countries with only coasts on the Persian Gulf would no longer have free access to the seas. Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, and even UAE (which doesn't have a major port on the non-Gulf side) are sure to have issues, and I wouldn't blame them.

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!'

A president speaking casually about the possible end of an entire civilization should concern Americans on every side of the aisle. This is dangerous rhetoric from a dangerous leader.

Cute, then weird, moment at the doughnut shop, as I came across about six 6-year-olds singing “Golden” as a group. But then they started singing “Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, which makes me think their parents don’t know what that song is about.

One year ago today in Milwaukee, I came across this bronze statue of @hwinkler4real.bsky.social. My inner ‘70s kid was starstruck.

I saw the Stones in 2002 thinking it might be my last chance to see them. I got another chance to see them 22 years later.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but wondering why you consider the phase of the moon has anything important to do with this.

Which side of the Moon is illuminated has no effect on spacecraft systems. In fact, when landings start, we want to near side lit so the astronauts can see.

2 weeks ago 0 1 1 0

The far side will be mostly dark in a couple days, because it's currently a full moon (meaning the near side is almost completely lit up RN).

No need to hurt you brain. One side is lit up, the other dark, same as on Earth. Just Earth rotates much faster.

No better way to arrive at #NoKings in Pacifica than to see the ocean out the front of the bus. I see the typical summer weather has arrived.
