As technologically advanced as our species has become, when a CoPilot update breaks Microsoft Word and you realize no other document service has a dark mode, it's a humbling reminder we've got a long way to go.

The day of the car crash, if someone told me I'd get to watch Tiger be there for his son's ace at the PNC, I think I'd be pretty happy with that outcome. Cat rules.

Sometimes I think the whole "single guys live like idiots" thing is overplayed, and then I remember my toilet broke and I've been taking the back off and manually pulling the chain to flush it. And I've just decided that's an acceptable way to live. For like ten days now.

Now no Soto, no Mike King, no ring, no lineup, nobody big enough on FA/trade markets to save us, no word from clubhouse anything will change. Yankees of old died a death by a thousand errors/blunders/excuses. Will be sad to see Judge and Cole retire without rings.

There's an alternate universe where the Yankees value fundamentals/accountability, beat the Dodgers in 7, and Soto signs for 16/750m. But this is the team that refused to help IKFs defense when HE ASKED for coaching. Why would a young HoFer want to tether himself to this franchise as it stands now?

Not sure I've listened to anything other than the new Opeth record since it came out. Ranking music always seems silly, but they might just do it straight-up better than most bands. And Mikael's first growls since 2008! Next-level songwriting, lots to discover listen after listen. Exceptional.
