I was half way through the extended edition of LOTR The Two Towers and stopped it to watch that game. I could have finished the extended edition of The Return of the King and still caught the end. #worldseries

Can a Dodgers hitter just charge the mound to start a brawl and end the game for them?

A Dodgers batter charges the mound after the Blue Jays have used all their pinch hitters and pitchers. If they get enough people ejected  by starting a brawl the game is over and the Dodgers win.

I’ve been really surprised at the bands letting their songs be used in ChatGPT ads.

Pierced Tusk seen here. My Tellarite worked in Los Angeles so I assume the piercing was done somewhere in NoHo.

The GFRobot article about Star Trek fans being majority male/conservative is still going around several days later, so I was to say 1) don't click on it or they will "write" more just like it & 2) the site is known trash.

LMAO. If you think this is true of Star Trek (or any sci fi), it is because you affirmatively pushed non-male Trekkies out of your group with sexism and you should work on that.

Ripple Effect: Brent and Craig Renaud’s Vérité Filmmaking in Pursuit of Peace Brent and Craig Renaud risked their lives to make vérité documentary journalism—after Brent’s death, Craig honored his life with a new film

"Armed Only with a Camera” is on HBO now. It is about journalist Brent Renaud who was killed in Ukraine. It is very good.

Among his work was "Off To War" an excellent tv series he made with his brother about an Arkansas Guard unit that went to Iraq.

For more on the Renauds...
