CLE was dead in the water: deadline sellers and 4th lowest payroll in MLB somehow made the wild card. Does that beat 74 win 2024 Jays getting 2 outs from a ring? No. Do I think the US Baseball Writers' Association of America has a giant blind spot roughly the size and shape of a blue jay? Yes I do.

That's cool. Now do a piece on how everything Jobs and Ive designed after 1999 was straight out of the Dieter Rams years at Braun, right down to Braun's ET66 Calculator and T3 Pocket Radio (a dead ringer for the ring dial era iPod).

It's been 20 years of this stuff. Plenty of time for a PhD student to look back and do a thesis on "From Azeroth to Oblivion: The Alpha and Omega of Microtransaction Controversy 2006-2026."

I think this is about BlizzCon tix starting at $250 for early bird and then $300 thereafter.

I don't disagree that this is a crazy amount to pay to cosplay and watch trailers.

Plus whatever Blizzard used to be, it ain't been that for a long time.

What’s turning out to be weirdly prophetic about 2001: A Space Odyssey is that when HAL insists “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” it may be less about HAL acting out of self awareness and more that HAL is a dumb as bricks AI who can’t rationalize whatever it happens to be doing.

Update The Franchise to cover 2025!

Absolutely. This is a young team. Ownership can make a perennial MLB dynasty happen right here in Toronto if they choose to build on what this fabulous group of guys have handed them on a platter.

I will love this version of the Toronto Blue Jays forever.

Considering the Jays started the season with the universe assuming they had no chance at the World Series, I'd suggest your absolutist logic is tremendously and uniquely ill-suited to baseball.

"I’m pretty zen about this loss" is exactly how I feel about it.

4-26 with RISP over the last two games. That's a lot of offensive production for so few runs.

We pushed the rock to the top of the hill only to trip over the last pebble 22 times.

Screw Blake Snell -- LA got lucky.

You just get here? It's been like this for 5 years.

Who the hell is Stephen Amell? Never heard of this guy. Don't recognize him. If he's "famous" he's gotta be very D-tier.

What can I do to encourage your publisher to have you update and issue a second edition of The Franchise? This crazy season ties so many historical and narrative strands together the book is begging for a new final chapter.

"Gosh darn it takes great studios and people to make beautiful valuable things!" says psychotically dissonant pyromaniac CEO after burning multiple studios to the ground and torching untold numbers of careers to make MSFT ticker go "boop."

The saboteur is you, Leslie.

Contact and ST:TNG reflect the 90s utopian moment when it seemed science, rationality and evidence-based decision-making might decisively shape human politics and chart a brighter future for all. Or at least, it was clearly an option.

What actually unfolded is more like Black Mirror dystopia.

Agreed. CaJo said it best: its the “what have you done for me lately” league. And lately Little hasnt been the guy.

That said, at the plate Jays were 2-10 RISP or something, and couldn’t score on bases loaded no outs in the 4th. We coulda shoulda put this game out of reach by the fifth.

Childs play. Did you see the guy Kurt J Mac who just finished a 14 year, 852 episode walk to the edge of the Minecraft Far Lands in like the beta version from 2010? Now that’s dedication.

Well if he wasn't dead before he's definitely dead now 🤣

Hmmmm… Something something massive Ring surveillance dystopia feeding intel to cops on demand something something destruction of the Washington Post something something Saudi assassinations of his journalists something something

Elon totally rigs the numbers and most Twitter traffic are bots anyway. Conversion numbers reveal the real Twitter user data and it’s terrible.

Bro, today is no day to dis. Little and Hoff faced an offensive juggernaut and combined for 1 ER through 7 outs. Respect.

The console market might have shifted from generalist to marginalist. Anecdotal but I know a crazy proportion of people who get consoles just to play Forza, or CoD, or NBA2K, or Stardew Valley. Single use console gamers - surprisingly huge market monetized by recurring subs and microtransactions.

Game 1 predictions! #BlueJays are gonna:

Ride horses tarp free
Gatorade Hazel
Bring rain
Flip bats
Walk the parrot
Fly the plane to the opera sushi party
Pressurize our tires
Eat bananas
Have bush party
Hunt down Blue October

… and beat the Effing Yankees.
