This World Series game began a full two hours after I went to bed. It was still going when I woke up. It was still going when I got dressed. It was still going when I went down for breakfast. It was still going when I returned from breakfast…

"And when was that?"

"This morning. I wore a sailor suit and diaper. It's a sex thing."

Shout-out to all the posters getting their Dr. Manhattan memes together for this Tigers/Mariners game.

If this game ends on a walk-off me might have an aneurysm.

One important question is emerging from the MLB playoffs: who is Braelyn and why should I care that she is “out loud”?

We’re pretty used to being overlooked at this point. But if I had to describe the fan base’s mood in an image, it’d definitely be the one of worn-out Ben Affleck smoking a cig

Today has been truly cursed, by which I mean I saw two cybers truck while out running errands

Update: don’t think I’ve ever quite seen a sky like this at the ballpark…

The tarp continues to be on the field at Isotopes Park. It’s raining, but the Sun has broken through to the West, bathing the clouds in a golden/pink glow. Oh, and there’s a teeny stump of rainbow.

Tony Forbes @thepunisintended.bsky.social · Sep 20

Not a great start to what is ostensibly our last Isotopes game of the season …

A white tarp covers the infield of Isotopes Park, while dark grey clouds lurk ominously in the distance. Those clouds, though, aren’t why the tarp is out; instead, it’s due to the storm coming from the West (behind the camera). Bottom line: this does not look good for Homestar Runner.

My fingers have long been trained by muscle memory to type the word “test” for data-creation purposes, but today I learned that if your hand shifts down the keyboard juuuuuust a little bit, that becomes “twat,” which makes me hope no one comes looking at this data too closely…

Visited my local library, where the pamphlet selection is… something.

A photo of two pamphlets: on the left, a pale green pamphlet with an illustration of a worried man, and the caption “So you’re picking up on an imminent and nonspecific threat“. On the right, a light blue pamphlet with a Victorian-era-esque illustration of a young boy reclining on a divan or something, with the top caption “You May Be Unwell” and the bottom caption “A Highly Sensitive Young Gentleman’s Guide to Establishing Emotional Dominance Through Curated Suffering”

I read that they wanted to bring their fancy pitch machine on the road, and the powders (among other things) had to get jettisoned to make that happen. But then they’re not wearing them at home, either, so… 🤷🏻‍♂️

For me, editing is about re-reading something I wrote, adding stuff I wish I’d said when I first wrote it, then deleting what I added when I realize I addressed that stuff in the next paragraph.
