I don't know anything about baseball, but here's some more Sal Furlick.

Photo of Brewers baseball player Sal Frelick standing during a game with his arms up in questioning gesture. He looks a little stunned.

Non-fiction is harder to write because you have to look everything up and make sure it really happened. Fiction is just you putting down whatever crap you wanna make up.

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

That is supposed to refer to taste, too. Like you can tell a customer to fuck off, but you can't tell them the shirt they want to buy looks like shit.

On what would have been Margaret Thatcher's 100th birthday, a reminder of what this awesome woman said at her funeral.

A thumbs up before tonight, when the mandatory booing might need to begin.

It's the true story behind the bank heist that inspired Dog Day Afternoon. A story much wilder than you can ever imagine.

I fuckin hate this shit. Here I am, trying to enjoy an afternoon staring at my favorite ads, and someone idiot decided to play a baseball game in front of them.

Fuck Shakers and their bullshit tours. For years, they’ve been the one place I've told visitors to Milwaukee to completely avoid. It’s hack tourist-trap garbage run by a complete fucking creep. It’ll be a great day for the city when this toilet closes for good.

I did not and actually felt kinda bad for Ueck because it seemed so poorly written. but I guess this solves that.

A friend of mine has been sending me photos lately comparing my cat Sal to the Milwaukee Brewers player Sal Frelick (aka Sal Furlick)

A photo of an orange and white cat licking a black and white cat on the side of his face next to a photo of Gillian Anderson licking David Duchovny's face. The poses are the same.

Yeah but have you done the classic bit where you point it at yourself and say “hm, must be broken” while your wife pretends she didn’t hear you?

Matthew J. Prigge @mjpmke.bsky.social · Sep 11
