No, I am not going to start calling home runs "pumps," sorry. If we're short on euphemisms just dig back into the archives and find some other names we stopped using. 30 circuit clouts

Lucky is the man who does not secretly believe that every possibility is open to him. Ask me about the Victorians
Waiting 26 years until bucket hats were back in style to record new music and then not wearing a bucket hat is an incredibly brave decision, but I would like him to reconsider. Gregg, America needs you to wear the bucket hat
Mark Athitakis@mathitak.bsky.social · 4d agoGreat but why are you wearing your cap like that?
Based on my instinctive response just now, the Hudson News self-checkout is probably the toughest place on earth to make "Round up for charity" work
Got a Facebook memory of Lindsay and me that had "17 years ago" on it. Holy cow. Frankly an older-sounding year than "18" or "19" would have been
Parked next to a gen 2 Chrysler Sebring with "Class of 2026!!!" written all over the windows. Not often that there are cars that could have also been in my high school parking lot still kicking
20-year-old subject line in a menswear forum pioneering the AI Summary writing style
Watching Baby Boom (1987) and just got to a moment where they're watching the I Love Lucy chocolate conveyor belt scene. Now I'm just trying to estimate what the peak year was for Lucy Eating Chocolates references
Got recognized at a Chipotle I've never been to before (employee transferred from the one by our house). Operating at a level other boring middle-aged men can only dream of
Commercials for fast internet on airplanes are weird because I mostly think of using my phone as a really embarrassing thing I can't keep myself from doing in public. Like "it's never been easier to eat an entire 'Share-size' bag of peanut-butter M&M's while your wife is watching"
Got some pickleball in for the first time like six weeks. Played pretty well but/and also somehow hit myself in the eyebrow with the edge of my own paddle harder than I have ever been hit in the face by anything in my life.
Little cousin who learned to talk between visits from us calls Melvin Melffin, which I am going to borrow for a few months. Little kids are an endless source of nicknames for themselves and each other
God help me, it's The Wings of the Dove time again. It's weird to be close to the end of James in terms of the number of novels remaining while knowing that the last few contain sentences that might as well be as long as his first books. Approaching the end of Henry James asymptotically
Can't stop thinking about this thumbnail. They really captured the essence of 1990 in this one
Walking around downtown Springfield like I do every time I come home. There's a level of mural coverage that marks a thriving downtown and then a slightly higher level that marks an extremely desperate one. As a Springfield booster I cannot be more specific than this
Can't find any cool three-volume novels in ex-circulating-library copies on eBay, but I can still get this novelty shirt to wear when people tell me Pendennis is boring
It's greedy of me to complain about missing baseball the day after a guy on my team won the Home Run Derby, but I really could go for some baseball
Time of year where I mention that Amalgamate is one of my all-time-favorite Fangamer designs

Sad to report that they screwed up the Home Run Derby again
The Miz is a division nemesis but this is great "force the kids to pay attention to the All-Star Game for a second" content and I appreciate him for it
MLB@mlbbot.bsky.social · 3w agoThis glove is FIRE 🔥 Jacob Misiorowski's Pokémon-themed All-Star Game glove has a Charizard card inside of it 🤯
Just learned about the Casio Loopy for the first time. Incredible look. I thought I had already seen everything that could be done in the Melted Plastic era of consumer design but this is exquisite
OEM wheels are way too big now. Get me some nice respectable 15s
Electrek@electrek.co · 3w agoHyundai’s electric hatch starts at under $30,000, and interest is already sky-high
I read a lot of EV reviews—and the comments on them—for some reason despite not owning an EV and having no plans to buy a non-used car in my life and the one thing I've learned is that some people take a car not having CarPlay/Android Auto as the greatest insult they've ever received in their lives
Unnerving AI video about how the 90s are calling you home or photo of my children eating ice cream at the mall food court four minutes ago?
I don’t want to wrong anybody, so I won’t go so far as to say that she actually wrote poetry, but her conversation, to my mind, was of a nature calculated to excite the liveliest suspicions. —P. G. Wodehouse, Right Ho, Jeeves
