……. Okay, I tried to be vague.

In my early 20s, I reread the author that turned me onto reading when I was a tween — the sort of fellow who might have a few long-running fantasy series — and oh brother… everything I remembered loving when I was 13 was: “The she-centaur warrior’s bust heaved bosomly as she fired the arrow.”

Imagine you're a human man with retinas and optic nerves and whatnot, and you go to meet your date — who looks like Meghann Fahy of White Lotus S2 fame — but you have to focus on stifling your vomit because of her blouse.

I'm sure it happens more than you'd think.

Drop starts with a sequence where Meghann Fahy is dressing for a date — and her sister cringes in horror over how absolutely disgusting her first outfit is.

When she tries on a second outfit, Fahy concedes that she looks like she's going to play bingo at an old folks home.

Uh yeah, sure, I guess.

There's no way Busch is a better option to lead off than Happ, Swanson, Hoerner ...

Matt Shaw, with his .261 AVG and .778 OPS while hitting 9th, would be fine.

Even flipping Tucker to leadoff and Busch to No. 2 would make more sense.

How would the Cubs feel about not batting Michael Busch (and his .197/.269/.410 slash line in 15 games while leading off) at the top of the lineup?

It should never have been removed from its place of honor (right next to the obelisk commemorating school shooters and the Timothy McVeigh memorial plaque).

In fact, that’s the skeleton key to understanding media in the Twitter age.

95% of digital news is:

- press release spun into a story with zero third-party insight to contextualize it
- celebrity social post spun into a story (Paris breaks silence on ADHD struggle!)
- 3 people on X have opinions

Do you have to watch the first 12 or can you skip right to Apollo 13 without knowing all the backstory?

Call her “huh?” — not “pretty”!

Well, if it’s any constellation prize: The median is the message.

It’s like campaigning for the 9/11 victims’ fund by threatening to become a registered sex offender.

If your incredibly serious and somber cause uses a strategy that immediately brings to mind a particularly ghoulish Nathan Fielder stunt, you gotta rethink it.

I’m really sorry but …

Might be the horniest production of that era. The offscreen escapades are legendary.

Schrodinger’s half-a-good-season-two-years-ago.

My house league is weird — 10 teams, 8 keepers with no restrictions, 7x7 h2h cats (w/ OBP and SLG).

I took him third overall in the redraft behind Trout and Framber. The keeper ramifications tilts heavy in favor of drafting young breakouts.

Today’s word was bullshit!

Simple yes or no: Are you aware that the WNBA’s new 11-year, $2.2-billion media rights package with Disney, NBC and Amazon begins next season?

Do you earnestly not think the new media rights deal will cover the increased P&L of CBA where player compensation improves?

Why are you carrying water for these team owners?

If you actually think the WNBA’s scaling strategy is analogous to Pets dot com, or whatever, I really don’t think you have a firm grasp of anything.

The W’s prior operating deficits have been akin to 2-3 bad NBA signings per year. The new media rights deal alone erases that concern moving forward.

You are describing literally every US tech company that has risen to any degree of prominence over the last 20 years. Uber, Snap, Airbnb took years to produce a semblance of profit and all still have billions in debt.

Welcome to speculative investing. If you want guaranteed profit, buy gov’t bonds.

The MLB postseason is basically a giant Plinko board.

Still, this line for the NL Central to produce the WS winner like there's a trap that isn't immediately obvious.

They did it. Those crazy bastards really did it.

They made a restaurant that makes the Cybertruck seem comparatively safe.

The CC Sabathia Conundrum.

In other news on the TMZ platform ...

I'm going to have to guess ....... Dame Judi Dench ... ?

Presumably introduced by the astral projection of their mutual contemporary Marc Garneau.

Your honor, the music of Coldplay thrust me into a blind mania of insatiable horniness.

City Planning!

Seeing how they just kicked the can on Ortiz's leave, I'd be a little surprised if Clase pitched again this year, to say nothing about the need to ramp up before resuming play.

But I actually think Jon Lovitz' Radio in 1987's Brave Little Toaster (as well as Phil Hartman's scene as a Jack Nicholson-coded AC unit) is kind of the modern blueprint for this sort of character.

(And the movie in general is basically the precursor to Pixar.)
