Monday night at 9pm Central! No national TV! No other game that night! I simply cannot believe this league’s inability to make any sense!

Because Frey didn't get more than 50% of the first round votes, no winner was declared yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

From Oct 1-31, it’s all Halloween music. From Black Friday to Dec 25, it’s Christmas music. From Nov 1 to Thanksgiving?
Soooooo much Vince Guaraldi, jazz, and folk music.

Friends have sent pumpkin photos and two (so far) have done 67 ones. All by adults. 🤣
I truly believe millennial parents will gladfully take 67 to the intentional cringe level just to annoy our kids.

After 5 more listens, including one on headphones, I can confirm that this album is actually super fun and I’m super into it. Go listen and have fun! #TameImpala
New Tame Impala album out today. I've listened to the album once through and I need another listen before I decide what I really feel.
It feels like two totally different albums. The first half is exactly the TI you expect, and the second jumps straight into a DJ set at a rave.

Well that’s not the start you want. It was a fun season to be a Brewers fan, not sure I can force myself to endure watching us get crushed again to end it.

Kevin Parker, the musician behind Tame Impala, said that his new album was shaped in part by the spirit of Australia’s bush doofs—all-night dance parties thrown in rural, off-the-grid locales. “To me, that’s musical Nirvana,” he said.
Tame Impala Is an Obsessive, Not a Perfectionist
The musician Kevin Parker discusses his method of restless tinkering, a deafening bout of tinnitus, and his new album, “Deadbeat.”

Jacob Misiorowski makes Tommy Edman look foolish and then freezes Teoscar Hernandez. Two big outs to settle this down.
The Brewers can have all the belief in the world, but what they need right now is some runs.

Credit to Dodgers pitching. Back to back absolute gems from their starters. Brewers bats are struggling to find good contact, meanwhile Brewers are burning arms. Still not giving up though! Need some sun and warmth to turn it around.

Dang, what a game. I’m honestly not mad. It was a ridiculous pitching game, and a remarkable feat to get bases loaded with two outs in bottom of the 9th. Hope we’ve got enough fresh arms for tomorrow.
