I know you didn’t tag me but I saw this - Blackpool Pleasure Beach has some pretty neat roller coasters, including one that used to be called “Pepsi Max Big One”

My friends and I were ride or die Xbox players. We have since totally divested to PlayStation. There has been no downside.

Under Spencer and Bond’s leadership, Xbox laid off thousands of people, shuttered numerous studios, and diluted the brand to nothingness. If you were trying to destroy Xbox, you’d do just what they did when they were in charge.

A Terrance Gore story: he bestowed upon me a custom handshake, like players have for each other. Knowing I'm always carrying cameras, AND "out of respect for your whiteness," there was only one step to it 😂😆

Pretty sure ChatGPT has given that answer to someone asking how many millions of dollars is one trillion dollars

It’s certainly more likely now. Thank you Jon for your service in this matter

The good news is that it will still be on your cable/satellite channels (as long as you’re in that blue area)!

Royals just announced pricing for their MLB-run streaming package. Live within the blue area and you can get discounted pricing of $99 for the year. Outside, it’ll be $149.

I don’t know if subscription fatigue is the word for it, but I pay $140 or whatever a year for Aftermath and Defector when I paid $0 per year to read Kotaku and Deadspin, and that’s not even considering Rogue or Mothership or 404, etc.

I once asked Zack about what was different about the coaching after they changed pitching coaches in the offseason. His response, verbatim:

“Some things are different, some things are the same.”

Earlier in the week, we stopped by Hiroshima, where we visited the team store to grab some gear, including a hat depicting a bowl of ramen swinging a baseball bat.

The celebration after a home run also included an elaborate chant with words and gestures and was a whole thing.

These chants would continue during play, like a soccer game.

Every player had their own chant. Not some players. Every player. And yes, that is a band playing along with the chant.

I’m writing about my experience going to an NPB game in 2024 for Royals Review. Going to use some of these pictures.

Yes, that is a Cleveland Browns jersey there.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

A greenish-blue PRS electric guitar on a stand in my basement.

Decided to pull the trigger and trade my guitar for one I actually like playing. Behold my new PRS electric. Name suggestions welcome.

So every time I go down the road to buy groceries at the Shawnee Mission Price Chopper, the state sales tax revenue will go to repay the handout to the billionaire Hunt family rather than the state?

What are we doing here?

As others have said, two hours before flight time. If you park in economy, you might want to build in some additional wiggle room because the shuttles could take a little bit to get you there.

Otherwise, it just is the best airport. Complete 180 from old MCI.

Read my latest piece about the Royals stadium, where I channel a little bit of @jcbradbury.com in swatting some financial claims down (and complain, in general, that it would be an unfun mess of a location)
