And of course, KG the other night.

Gotta be happy for Santander.

I loved the animation and the cast of characters around the Colossus but oof Kaz was annoying and it felt like a bit of a letdown after Rebels.

I’d buy starting pitching (but not real starting pitching, that’s expensive).

I’d buy your love… (but only for half a season or so)

A little hermit crab type feature with one eye Saying “what a sad type of idiot,” probably talking about Pete Hegseth.

Marcel the Shell is on HBO and this image is going to get a lot of use.

A tweet from @armchairw showing pictures of the Harry S Truman (CVN 75) collision damage eight months apart. The caption reads “All those people clamoring for war with China don’t seem to realize that when USN ships are lost or damaged - as they will be - they will not be replaced and they will not be repaired.”

Truman has only been home four months, so not surprised it hasn’t been repaired yet, but yeah, the notion that we’re ready to perform Battle-of-Midway like repairs to get ships back in the fight is pretty absurd.

OK I just finished Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time and WTF did I just watch.
~18 episodes of fairly conventional anime
~6 episodes of hmm there’s something interesting going on here
~2 episodes of WTF
Do I have that right?

This poem came out in 2005 and man, it felt so needed at the time, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bush, Cheney, waterboarding, rendition, and surely things couldn’t get much worse.

What We Need - David Budbill

The Emperor,
his bullies
and henchmen
terrorize the world
every day,
which is why
every day
we need
a little poem
of kindness,
a small song
of peace
a brief moment
of joy.

It sort of boggles the mind (or maybe not) that these are the people most likely to invoke government oppression at Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bundt Ranch/Malheur, etc.

The world is going to shit but at least the Yankees are getting smacked around.

Someone pointed out ~9k people managed to run the Portland Marathon and half-marathon today. Pretty impressive for a war zone.

Nice day for a ride around Norfolk/Chesapeake/Portsmouth.

Got to use my favorite answer for “.300+ batting average season” and “only one team” on immaculate grid today. (.03%, fist pump)

I think this is going to be more like a rally on the pier.

Great stuff, thanks. I wonder, not super excited about Verlander, pitching wise, but would he fill the need for the veteran presence the clubhouse needs?

Robert Downey Jr looking like he’s thanking god that he doesn’t have to muster on a Sunday to hear Trump and Hegseth Speak.

The RN would like a word.

Assuming they’ll want everyone seated by IDK 1300 for 1500 speech, plus traffic, parking, security checkpoints - gonna be a long day.

LoL, fair point.

The Great White Fleet would like a word.

Tweet from Donald J. Trump © © @realDonald Trump I am proud to announce that on Sunday, October 5th, I will be hosting a Salute to the Fleet in Norfolk, Virginia, to honor our brave men and women of the United States Navy. Our wonderful First Lady, as well as our great Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, will be joining me as we mark 250 years of MARITIME DOMINANCE in the United States of America! Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the other Minority Radical Left Democrats tried their best, through the ridiculous Government Shutdown, to destroy this wonderful celebration of the U.S. Navy's Birthday, and to stop our Military Servicemembers from celebrating American Naval History. However, I believe, "THE SHOW MUST GO ON!" The U.S. Navy has been planning this event for many months and, despite the Democrats' incompetence, I refuse to let them down as their Commander-in-Chief. This will be the largest Celebration in the History of the Navy. Thousands of our brave Active Duty Servicemembers and Military Families will be in attendance, and I look forward to this special day with all of them. See you on Sunday!

I guarantee you most of the thousands of Sailors who’ll be dragged in on Sunday would rather be home watching football.
