This looks like excellent fan service. Might have to hit eBay if there’s a giveaway.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

It must feel amazing to launch a dinger out of Truist Park. Sending a rocket through the front window of a 300-seat Bonefish Grill in the adjacent mall, all the Vineyard Vines dudes in there are so scared at the sound that they instantly jump into their Sorcerer-size SUVs and drive 55 minutes home.

I think Brian Wilson’s defining music will always be Pet Sounds, but this is another masterpiece that has grown on me in the past year or so. Excellent lyrics and arrangement of backing vocals. RIP. open.spotify.com/track/1qxhOn...

In the DH era, three #Tigers pitchers have put up 12+ WAR in two years. The top total is, obviously, Verlander's 16.7 in 2011-12. He also totaled 12.5 in 2016-17, and Scherzer had 12.3 in 2013-14.
(JV averaged 6.2 from 2009-13.)
Skubal is currently on pace for 13.1 in 2024-25.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!
