I'm gonna watch "26 Minutes of The Tush Push."

Good call, thanks for the tip.

Felt like a hybrid of Dark Souls and Castlevania.

Man, now I'm sad.

Pay Kyle Schwarber with an acre of hard currency.

The Phillies made moves at the deadline just in time to embarrass themselves in front of Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins, splendid work.

The first days of below 80 weather here in Minneapolis in like a month, but windows are all staying slammed shut because the smoke is god awful, just in time to ruin the temperature relief. I'm envious of the Fall Anticipation.

I'm not even hating on VR here. I love Beat Saber! There's lots of cool stuff you can do with VR. But you want to connect everything people do with the internet with some sort of VR Overworld that requires the user to wear vision-occupying goggles? Why?

I know that no one gives a shit about any "metaverse" anymore, but I never got a good explanation, even from well-meaning tech people who were sincerely trying, on what the value proposition for a VR interface for the internet was supposed to be. To this day, I don't know.

I've never really looked into this: what makes eSports people age out? Is there an "athletic prime" for the twitchy physical hand-eye stuff you gotta do with a steep fall-off? Or maybe there's just more money to be made elsewhere?

Got the AC running so it's cool enough in my place right now but none of the towels are drying out because the air is water, and man, I hate that a lot.

Started seeing this post format today, and I went through 30 of them before I figured out it's "Hitting the Like Button will generate a reply," and not the colloquial rhythm word that can mean "as in." I thought it was "One (like, ONE) X opinion," emphasizing the number for some reason.

When you're up 5 - 0, a double, a walk, then two outs, then three more walks to plate 2, then giving up the grand slam that was absolutely set in stone inevitable, is I think the worst pitcher collapse I have ever seen.

This is the kind of did-you-know/in-plain-sight tidbit with a joke that Cracked was so good at.

The Phillies EARNED that catcher interference W and I will not hear otherwise.

When your partner is someone generally way smarter and more cultured than you, sometimes you walk out of a movie you liked and she pokes holes in a way that shatters glass for you. You struggle for reasoned counterpoints before realizing she's right, and the flaws are more flawed than you thought.

Thank your for recognizing this, it's important.

Florida does sugarcane though, so he might think there's an angle there.

Cool, unique feature of the ASG Team HR Derby Tie-Breaker thing: the catcher is on the same team as the batter, so if everyone is really into it, you get fun celebratory body language from the catcher over a towering moonshot.

Kyle Schwarber steps in and steals the ASG MVP out of Pete Alonso’s hands. After 24 years, we finally defeated terrorism.

SCHWARBER IS HERO, I AM SO INTO THIS FOR NO REASON

Kershaw chatting while pitching was one of the most delightful baseball things I've seen this year.

In a few hours I'm gonna take the dog for a walk around the park right by my place, and there's gonna be an old man baseball league game, a softball game, and a queer kickball game all happening at the same time and on my way back I might stop in the cidery right by there. FoH with this shit.

I'm not a scholar of Batman: The Animated Series or anything and I probably watched this episode like 3 times over the years when I was growing up, but as soon as that beat hit, I instantly remembered this scene, that robot, and "You killed Captain Clown. You KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN."
