This seems like one of those things I'm going to obsess on.
Anyway, current status and process if it is of interest!

Design for a Beaver themed Orioles mascot head.

When you're done with Paranorman (which is fantastic), get Monster House on the list

Some people will tell you that the Elias FO never leaks.
I say it's because there's nothing to leak. This team will be the last to hire a new manager despite being the first to need one, and it'll be some guy you've never heard of. 40% of takes will be like, "ELIAS GOT HIS MAN!"

so just checking that so far our only reported interest in potential managers so far is *checks notes* the yankees 3rd base coach, and albert pujols?

That is fucking hilarious. That is the worst possible outcome of your bases loaded AB

Mariners get an unlikely double play on an 18 inch hit and escape a bases loaded no outs jam

My son likes Tennant. Wife likes Smith (I get it). Me though, pure Capaldi-bro.

Before Greg Bader switched from the Orioles to MASN, the Orioles had excellent Pride programming l

In his new role as President, did Mike Elias have anything to do with removing LGBTQ+ language from this social media outreach?

I’m side-eyeing the Orioles a little bit as the only MLB team I’ve seen so far remove “LGBTQ” from the Spirit Day bullying copy.

Saw Max staring intently at the game from the dugout before this happened with absolute DEATH in his eyes, and I told my wife, "Oh. Forgot that guy's a fucking psycho." Then, bam!

Blue Jays manager John Schneider stepped onto the field to pull Max Scherzer. The pitcher had other ideas.

The standard "weather" app on my Samsung phone opens to a web platform to view the radar. And the radar is always, you guessed it, fully obscured by an ad I can't move.

Websites are currently so awful. One day, I'll be telling my kids that this all used to be cool.

The cool thing about posting what I'm reading here is that, much like my GR, I am basically talking to myself.

Going to do a tandem read next before King Sorrow comes in the mail.

Up next are The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman (described by SGJ as the "perfect vampire book" in the afterwords of Buffalo Hunter Hunter) and The Navajo Nightmare by D. Sodergren and Steve Stret (my 3rd Sodergen).

ATFOH is not doing anything you haven't read/seen before. Man wakes to most of the population being gone. Escape the horrors. Humans are the real monsters. Etc. Etc.

However, it does this effectively, and the relationship between Karl and Bob (our central antagonist) is nuts and totally worth it.

Nevill makes a clear decision early on the show very little of the aliens/demons and provide no details of their motives or background. He even describes them in the vaguest ways when they're on-screen so you're left with a blank for your mind to fill with the worst shit imaginable.

Alright. Took a couple of days, but we read All the Fiends of Hell by Adam LG Nevill. Look, overall, I think I'm going to give it ~4🔪, but that is on the strength of the prose (when not describing the color red 6000 times). It's too long, but the emotional connections work. The character's work. 1/4

These colors on my TV are all fucking wrong, bro. People out here watching these colors every day, bro?

I can’t believe I’m actually missing watching Orioles games as if this year wasn’t complete and utter torture

Cow Ripken @donthaveacowman.bsky.social · 4d

I hope to not see the pirate hat next year. There are two teams in the league who could conceivably pull that off. The Orioles are not one.
