My fattest son gets to be corn this year. He hates it.

It looks like Homestar is the killer, but for all we know this house may have a thatched roof.

My classes in that era had things like “student emailed thesis after Duke win over UNC that was just a picture of Grayson Allen, so I responded after a UNC win over Duke with “comments” (a picture of Joel Berry).

An excellent rag-tag team of villains in an era of good rag-tag teams of villains. Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, AND Colm Meaney!

Under Siege 2's team of villains aren't bad on paper between Eric Bogosian and Everett McGill (doing an excellent evil Race Bannon thing), but that movie just isn't good.

Harry and Meghan Markle, the Markles

Seeing a lot of derogatory comments about them, but I think it's courageous they attended the game considering what happened to his grandmother when she visited a baseball stadium

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

Who sent him and why does he still have a job as the third base coach?

when the red sox traded mookie betts their social media team posted a meme that said "IYKYK" about the team getting under the luxury tax threshold by trading away one of the best players of his generation

And once again you can only shake your head and wonder how a group of people came together and decided it was a good idea to trade a player and person like this.

Happy birthday to the NES, companion to millions of Nintendo childhoods Forty years ago today, the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in the US – and a generation of kids were sucked into video games for life

I got to write this nice piece for @theguardian.com about the birthday of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Something that at least isn't full sorrow and horror, you know.

Thought it would be this or Navy/North Texas (they're not going to just follow Diego Pavia around all season). My guess is doing this this week means they can do Navy/Notre Dame on the week right before Veterans Day.

When you realize the top 2 candidates for the Heisman Trophy are Simpson and Mendoza.

Klein is repeating the story that elite consultants from the 2012 Obama campaign have been pushing. Trying to sell Dems more of the same. It's better to stick with the data. The CES shows that every Dem and Republican nominee is seen as essentially the same except Trump in 2016.

Furloughed feds pick up Seattle beach trash to keep serving the public Furloughed federal employees were out in the rain picking up cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other trash at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park on Friday.
