I don't think we should depend on the afterlife to punish those currently in power

You're laughing. Peter Cushing pulled down the curtains to let the sunlight in and it made Dick Cheney burn to dust and you're laughing.

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

Beavers?!? In MY Milwaukee???

Several trees, some standing and some fallen, with circular grooves in the trunk from gnawing beavers. Ground is covered in fallen leaves, background bright yellow leaves still on trees.

Riverside trail with thin border of short grass right at the water's edge. Still water reflecting pale sky and bare and leafy trees on a left to right slant. Framed so the river's edge forms a straight line from top to bottom of shot.

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

Last RT reminded me that The big professional baseball league in the Netherlands is called Honkbal Hoofdklasse.

Honkbal Hoofdklasse.

Honkbal Hoofdklasse!

One might be tempted to think Honkbal Overgangklasse is even klassier because is gangs over, but no, Honkbal Hoofdklasse is the Hoofdest.

On a frigid night in February 1535, a group of Anabaptists ran naked through Amsterdam and shouted "Woe to the godless!" Public nakedness symbolized to the faithful innocence before God, and was also common in MΓΌnster; the men who refused to put on clothes were executed, and the women who refused were drowned. (The sword and naked walkers left the Dutch language with two new words, zwaardlopers and naaklopers.)

I’m sorry but I refuse to believe that Dutch is real

Sense memory of 'Tony, who *was* big enough to make the jump but couldn't see too good. He would signal his intent by poking my thigh with his claws until he was sure the way was clear. Ow.

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Has this World Series consistently featured the highest quality of baseball? No. Has it featured the widest array possible of beautiful, weird, specific baseball delights? Yes.

The grottiness of the looped lizardmen clips is so great. Do they always do "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in the intro!?
