About Strunk & White, the writer Dorothy Parker said that:
If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second-greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first-greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they're happy. 21

A bunch of guys you vaguely heard of irritated you the way guys you have heard of irritated you last year.

Mets in midseason form I see.

It's almost like the FIFA Peace prize means nothing to him.

That trilogy is the best portrayal of Han outside of the first two movies, IMO. Daley gets that Han always does the right thing ... but only after exhausting all the alternatives. Anyway, enjoy!

Church book sale find: Brian Daley’s wonderful third Han Solo novel, with the spine never so much as cracked. I own it so I left it to be someone else’s lucky find.

Also: Front and center when the video starts is Steve Springer, who's in The Holy Books for both franchises! Kismet!

A 30-year search for a long-lost baseball player comes to an unexpected end: 'I could finally exhale'

Love this! Like me, Randy Kula has a set of The Holy Books -- only he collected every player who ever took the field for the Guardians, not the Mets. (SO MUCH HARDER!) He just found the last picture he needed, adding Shorty Gallagher to the ranks. Salute to a kindred spirit and a quest completed!

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

This is incredibly cool, a story told in English where every paragraph steps back in time to an older form of English. I am super proud I got to 1000 before it was entirely incomprehensible

Searching eBay for minor-league baseball cards of guys who have a chance to pitch 2.1 innings of relief for the Mets at the tail end of a 7-2 loss come June. This what I do in February trying to make the calendar hurry the f up.

Yaaaay immortal Mets hero Austin Barnes changes the narrative.

Mets have to play the Marlins again and don’t have a 2026 hit. My disgust is suddenly in midseason form.

Based on the number of legal services ads during spring training, Mets fans are primarily traumatized accident victims who want to sue.

Hmm. Actually that tracks.

I am going to hunt down Punxsutawney Phil. I will find him and then I will grind his bones to make my bread.
