You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Shota Imanaga credits his success in his past 9 starts to changing his phone lockscreen to this photo of Ben Brown on the training table, which he calls "Lucky Benjamin" #Cubs

the odyssey is a realistic depiction of what it’s like when you’re trying to get home to your girl at 2 am on the mta. it’s always some shit

i made a bluesky diorama and you're all in it. some of you are made from popsicle sticks and the rest are buttons and twine.

"They may not be able to play a lick, but they're sure good people." - Maybelle Blair talking about the Mets, who sent a plane to fly her out for the WPBL's opening weekend.

Teams with higher payrolls stink. Teams with lower payrolls are right in it. The fact that the Dodgers are VERY good and have a VERY high payroll is going to be used deceptively, in bad faith, to try to pit fans against the union.

the Red Sox could’ve kept Betts. Freeman wanted to stay in Atlanta more than anything and they passed. Machado didn’t stay. It’s not impossible for other teams to keep and sign these sorts of guys.

feels cool and normal that every subway ad is either for AI or just reminding you that there are cameras everywhere

AI companies are reportedly buying up antique books in bulk, scanning them for AI training data, then destroying the physical copies.

The movie Once was so formative to me as a teen and it's too bad that today's news is how I learned that Glen started hanging out and ~falling in love~ with Marketa when he was in his 30s and she was also a teen.

Oh, my God. Nicest guy. Was on the Pogues bill at Carnegie with him. His love of music was palpable, infectious, radiant. I’ve seldom seen a musician as connected to the moment of the song as he was that night, in deep communion with the song & the people playing it. So many felt it. Hard loss.
