Cheaper option: After the loss in game 1, my wife said we had to buy a Mariners flag and fly it from our house. It worked!

I wonder how much of this is reciprocal. It’s pretty hard to get a Chinese visa.

I’ve been watching the Mariners since 1983, and I am both excited and terrified by this run in the playoffs. Let’s keep it up!

You have to tell us where. Mekong Market?

Gonna make it hard for me to teach my Climate Law class!

This is the best piece on Merle ever, and there are a lot of great pieces on Merle out there.

I was in college in Austin where he was doing a college-oriented strip and then this one. He came to one of my classes and showed how he created a strip. It was brilliant, and I have been a fan for decades.

I sat in the Kingdome when it was so empty you could hear conversations across the field. Does that mean free beer for me!

I just got it, and damn does it start off with a bang. I will read in one go, I imagine.

I have a very close friend whose son had a schizophrenic episode, and the best advice they got was to get a power of attorney for healthcare decisions, because once he was an adult they wouldn’t be able to help him.

So maybe it’s ready to be a plumber’s assistant, though not a lawyer.

I have the same experience using it in the law school class I teach. But today I asked it to tell me how to do a somewhat complicated home repair task, and it synthesized several YouTube videos and online product manuals to give me a great step-by-step plan. It was the new ChatGPT 5 version.

Fantastic article! It was a very interesting story. Not too technical at all. I am glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work.

Agreed. But that last one had to be a superstar catch. Maybe he could have made it, but it wasn’t a mistake to miss it.

Great explainer! And I am liking your book.

At least Suárez didn’t bite him.

I was in high school in Texas then, and watched a few games live. After two 100-loss seasons they finally had a good record. Burroughs was hot, and Fergie Jenkins was too.

I watched the game with Cal and Logan yesterday, and was hoping they’d be on the leaderboard. It was so fun.

You’ve got it! Trust the training.

You are correct. I live on Magnolia, so I drive that stretch of road a lot. I’ve nearly started road rage incidents several times by going the speed limit.

Could go either way, but will never be an embarrassment. And you’ll probably do just fine (with a bit of suffering and a lot of joy).

For the first time in years/decades, I feel like the Mariners are doing all the right things.

At the Bullitt Foundation, we decided that it was wrong to hold on to the full amount of our money while giving out the IRS mandated 5% a year. The climate crisis requires more money to be spent now. Please ask why philanthropists hold on to their money for years/decades.

I’ve suffered so many disappointing trade deadlines with the Mariners, but this one feels great. The lineup looks super strong, and if our pitching returns to form a bit more, we’re going to contend.

You can read it online in a version with a lot of annotations to explain things:

Love a Corsi-Rosenthal box!

Look into teaching a class or two as an adjunct. I have been doing it for ten years based on my experience, not my academic credentials. It’s the best of both worlds.

Yes, I had been putting off reading her, but then I read Secondhand Time early this year, and now I’ve read Chernobyl and Zinky Boys. She’s amazing.

I like the idea of using an aged cachaça. I’ll buy it tomorrow.
