The Home Run Derby wrecked Kyle Schwarber, and this is why we always look for the falling anvil whenever anything joyful happens.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

people should be taught situational awareness in schools: don't stop in the middle of a trail/sidewalk if others are around, have your money ready, don't walk abreast a path if you're a slow-ass group, pay attention to the stoplight, etc.

video game industry wisdom: never trust a mf in a blazer and a tshirt

Jhoan Duran has a little too much Mitch Williams in him for my liking.

This is true. People love "Any Given Sunday" but I can't watch it because whoever made it has never watched a single game of football.

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

The Odyssey discourse is so tiring and dumb that it's sapped most of the interest I had in seeing the movie. That can't be good.

Found out that I didn't get the AusAlert test message because it only went to iPhones that had iOS 26.4 or higher, which was released in... March. Seems less than ideal.

For sure.

I'm glad they let Kruk take the suit off, it fits him like a BBQ grill cover.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11

Final trailer for ‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has been released. In theaters August 28. #CoyoteVsAcme

Yeah, it probably wasn't wise to send Nola out for the 6th, but it's also not wise to turn the game over to that bullpen with 4 innings left. At some point you have to just trust the guy who's out there and has pitched relatively well.

I play single player games exclusively, so I guess they don't want my money.

Mr. Horror4H@horror4h.bsky.social · 2w ago

Saw the head of Xbox say that gamers are too preoccupied with single player games. .......so your literal customer base is telling you what they want and you're like "OMG SHUT UP" More companies need to go bankrupt these days.

It's okay. There are only 37 years left on Trea Turner's contract.

Having a shitty day, the Phillies are on the path to fixing this. Don't screw it up!

I was a production coordinator in LA for a movie shooting in Mexico. The hairstylist needed a special shampoo ASAP. A van made the 7-hour round trip each day, but they wanted it faster. I had to fly a PA from LA to San Diego to hand off the shampoo to a driver who would take it the rest of the way.

what are some absurd work situations you can share? once i got called into a meeting i had nothing to do with because the consultant brought an engineer and no one in the room could understand him, so they asked me to translate. he was scouse. i translated from english to english.

Dang they really got a category for everything

A couple of friends of mine had a hand in making this extremely fun (and funny) game, and it's worth your time and money!
