Always easy, always recommend.

Tribute shows are always so well done (as, frankly, are most episodes), but this is the third one in September, and just... Fuck.

I want to remind my Phillies fan brethren (*cough* @dixonij.bsky.social ) that last time the Padres played the Diamondbacks with mismatched needs, the Braves and Mets BOTH got in because the Snakes shit the bed

Stop using AI as your fucking therapists.
The fact that they think they have the right, or the ability, to evaluate people based on appropriating their language is insane. No other industry oversteps boundaries with such smug contempt.
My master’s thesis was on this specifically, and it is scary and will be wrong.

Like a 4. I bubbled twice at GPs.
I've been thinking about the difference between how good we think we are at magic vs how good we actually are. So I want to do an experiment.
Quote this with how good you think you are at magic on a scale of 1-10, and everyone else reply with how good you think they are.
I think I'm a solid 7/10

Echoverse Zak found out he was neurodivergent as a kid instead of in his 30s and was disqualified from joining the military. I don't know what he would have ended up doing.
Oh god there's so many trauma/life-defining branch points for this... I think the easy button for this is:
Echoverse Ian is a toxic-as-hell VetBro podcaster who jumped in early on NFTs/crypto/memecoins and you'd be 1000% justified in asking where he was on J6.

I think we've already established this, but Echoverse Michelle is a deeply aggressive corporate lawyer who lives in a penthouse, has no real friends and a fancy refrigerator with a single half-drunk bottle of Merlot.
She wears very expensive, very tasteful minimalist things. She is miserable.

Because there aren't a lot of rich people, and frankly we deserve a second course.

I know this is first world problems at its finest, but the fact that Fanatics hasn't restocked much, of any, of the 2026 City Connect gear is WILD. I'm glad I have what I do.

His stunning turn is a dramatic escalation in the senator's growing estrangement from Democrats.
