Looks like a good day to dig through the ditches and burn through the witches.

If it was a poll rather than click-driven, I would have guess Soto for DC.

I don't know how to easily describe my interest in the Quebec Nordiques. I was never a fan per se, but I think it's one of the more tragic stories in North American professional sports. So I have an irrational old school/nostalgia attachment to them.

As such, I find this upsetting.

I love how every time Cox Farms posts something liberal on their social media, certain people get all mad. They’ve been doing this for YEARS, don’t act surprised. And they pull the β€œgo woke go broke” shit, while Cox’s fall festival continues to sell out every weekend.

I’m rooting for the Mariners, but honestly, seeing Max act like his old self is pretty awesome.

Better that than having test data go to prod. I had that happen once.

Fragility Is Getting Scary The opposite of risk management.

The amount of fragility being introduced into America's systems is alarming. We are getting less robust to all types of crises simultaneously.

I have been on the wagon for medical reasons for a spell, and have been pleased to find decent NA beers at Nationals Park and other spots. I am fully in favor of local breweries trying this out.

Curious how many Cleveland fans went "oh noes a mid-week day game in the playoffs?!?" and sold their tickets to Tigers fans

I have long said that banana flavored foods should have a brightly colored label saying WARNING: BANANA in big letters. (And you should read that warning in a Monty Python-esque voice.)

Nationals Park from the lower level just past third base. Not many people here.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Hometown sighting! The letter about Martin's Potato Rolls HQ rightly refers to Chambersburg as "Alabama, PA."

Ask an REM fan their favorite five songs in the catalog, and some will be standards like "Fall On Me," but everyone's got at least one weird one. "Leave" is mine.
