The 2025 Dodgers are starting to feel a lot like the 1999-ish Yankees. You're like "these guys are beatable" and then they just slice through the other playoff teams and everyone in baseball despises them

In college I made two pothead friends watch Blue Velvet. One said, “This is the best fucking movie I’ve ever seen in my life.” The other said, “This movie is so fucking self-aware of itself.” RIP.

I'd like to see a Venn diagram of the people who are sad about David Lynch and Bob Uecker passing away because that overlap...I bet those are my kind of people.

If you “color-blind” cast a South Asian for a white role, great! But consider changing their character name. We generally don’t use western first names like our East Asian brethren. For example, I’m the whitest South Asian I know, and look at my fucking name.
