Bunting doesn't work. Hitting doesn't work. Might be time for these guys to start trying some tomfoolery.

Happy Belated Birthday, Heather!

Such a basic play to make, you always throw to first with two outs. And J.T. was pointing to first.

@beatlebomb.bsky.social Whatever happens with your Cubs, nothing will be as embarrassing and humiliating as what happened with the Phillies tonight. You can savor that.

A shirt that says something like « Willmeat »

The staff member’s hand goes to grab a paper cup filled with juice…

And when the staff member picks it up it becomes a cookie…because genAI

Who doesn’t miss « Willmeat » where AI-generated staff magically transformed cups into cookies?

Trey Turner is the goat of tonight's game. And I don't mean G.O.A.T.

If only Huey Lewis could still hear.

Awfully white of you, folks.

AI-Generated Biography on Amazon Tries to Capitalize on the Death of a Beloved Writer Kaleb Horton ‘I cannot overstate how disgusting I find this kind of AIdog shit in the first place, never mind under these circumstances.’

Beloved writer Kaleb Horton passed away recently. Then suddenly, an AI-generated "biography" of Horton appeared for sale on Amazon. AI slop capitalizing on someone's death. "I cannot overstate how disgusting I find this kind of AI dog shit." www.404media.co/ai-generated...

"Jumper" is more hummable than "How It's Going To Be", though I love both.

Heh heh, "Strange Frequencies" and "What's The Currency, Kenneth?" I definitely heard "Everybody Hurts" part 2 in it, but I do think the whole shake up at WEA had a lot to do with its stalling at #47.

One last Kaleb Horton tribute for today: He and Sean McTiernan gave us maybe the best one-stop breakdown of "Twin Peaks: The Return." it's long but worth it.

The Doom meme, labeled “Kaleb Horton right now” where the guy in the suit is yelling “WHERE IS ROBBIE ROBERTSONI?”

Doing some self care tonight.

we were separated for a year and in the process of divorcing. before that, we were married for seven years, which is how I know he would have wanted me to post that. I loved and love him; I know many of you do too. Posts about a memorial etc to come. “Respect my privacy at this time” or don’t, idgaf

my husband @kalebhorton.bsky.social hated the phrase “passed away” and had nothing but scorn for softening euphemisms in general. he was a firm believer in the comedy rule of threes, but only if the third thing can hit as a surprise. and he just died

Sharing this bitter, bitter, BITTER news after all of the previous week and the loss of JD is…I just don’t have the words. Everything Luke says is completely accurate.

One of the best pieces by Kaleb Horton ever is no longer easily available, because of course MTV wouldn't maintain actual good music writing done for its site once. Thankfully I found it again via some digging: his 2016 memorial to Merle Haggard on his passing. Link here, screencaps to follow.

Good words on Kaleb Horton.

Took a little time, went out and about, ran some errands. Thought some more about Kaleb Horton. Thought to myself, "Wait...didn't he do some amazing post about Lemmy when he passed as well?" Sure did. Sure did.

I won’t pretend to have any Big Thoughts about Robert Redford, but his last movie, The Old Man & The Gun, was really cute. I felt good when I left the theater, and that almost never happens. (Plus, Tom Waits in a supporting role.)

His last post. Now you can rest, Kaleb. Wish I had known you a little better.

David Letterman was a genius for retiring when he did. Perfect timing.

2025, So Far I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and talk to my dad in 1988, just before I was born, and tell him what it’s like to live in the future. I’d tell him all the amazing things that a...

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Going Down The Road Feeling Bad Apologies for the sporadic posts lately. Trying to get my groove back. I’ll just tell you what’s on my mind, rip the Band-Aid off, because it’s all I know how to do and right now I don’t have any othe...

We lost a real one. RIP Kaleb Horton.

Coffee shops are the heart of darkness for republicans. All their horror stories take place inside them. They have taken the place of the forest in middle American gothic.
