I gotta find the video, but there’s a great bit in Ken Burns’ Revolutionary War doc from last year where one of the historians talks about how probably Washington’s best strategic decision of the entire war was getting his army inoculated for small pox. So this tracks.

“Scott Kingery hasn’t played third base since 2021.”

But it’s like riding a b-

Oh dear.

Nothing much. Just Seiya and Moises making fun of how fat they are.

Haaaaa, he ain’t Yermin.

How were the White Sox the team that got this guy?

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

and their 1980s Sprite can jerseys might be my favorite in baseball right now.

Just straight up called them “logs” right on the box.

I’m a Millennial of the 80s, but my mom bought these things for school lunches once, and the box was consumed in maybe an hour and never bought again.

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

fan-favorite fire hydrant moises ballesteros started a 2 out, bases juiced AB by falling behind 0-2 and spitting tobacco juice all over the front of his jersey before working a walk to force in a run. legend

Look at the eye and patience on my husky boy, Mo Baller.

Felt like it was time. Billy doesn’t need to deal with a rebuild.

Instant upgrade over Dungy.

Pope Leo 100% yelled at the TV for Spike to sit down during the 90s Bulls/Knicks playoffs.

That’s also a good call.

But if “ad” is anything with the logo, by sheer ubiquity, it’s Starbucks, which I’ve never purchased in my life and keep as a point of pride.

It’s probably something very local, the niche commercials only airing in my market but on a dozen times a day. Probably either Empire Carpet or Victory Auto Wreckers.

the edsbs charity bowl has now raised more money than the entire amount the sugar bowl foundation gave to charity last year ($435,600 on $74 million in net assets)

(Through crushing own clenched teeth)

Legitimately great catch by Shaw.

Hey, today a few of my peeps and I launched a fund raising money to support survivors of sexual violence and trafficking.
