Rob King subbing in for Greg Brown. That's interesting.

I think this is a no-brainer, bipartisan issue: The Department of Justice is calling for concert and ticketing giant Live Nation to be broken up, a remarkable claim in an antitrust lawsuit the department filed in New York Thursday morning, a day after a source familiar with the matter confirmed the ...

That'll be fun. Predictable, probably stupid, but fun.

Looks like a new Dexter, Deb, and Harry have been cast for the Dexter prequel series: The “Dexter” prequel series at Paramount+ with Showtime has found its three leads. Variety has learned that Patrick Gibson, Christian Slater, and Molly Brown are all set to star in the show, which is now titled “De...

Keeping Tellez around a few extra days instead of an extra reliever made a lot of sense.

Still a bunch of stuff has to go wrong to lose that game, but still...

Huh. What happened?

Ayy, we're #51! Surprised it's that high.

Again, I found myself in down a wormhole with truck prices. A local Chevy dealership has one non-crewcab RWD Silverado 1500. It's the W/T trim level, which literally means work truck. Vinyl seats, rubber flooring, small tires. $38K. Like **** off. That truck was $18K ten years ago. https://www.palme...

Kral highlights: https://twitter.com/smliiga/status/1743674392003944607 https://twitter.com/smliiga/status/1745139533035749436 From Taylor Haase's article on the signing: When Kral signed with the Pelicans, the team's sporting director Janne Laukkanen called him "an offensive defender who is skilled...

Grandal left the game after his trip around the bases in the ninth, so Hank could be back up sooner rather than later.

What is it called when a gas station chain advertises one price in the morning and it mysteriously rises by 28 cents for afternoon rush hour? These stations (Circle K) seem to do this a lot here. The other stations prices stayed basically the same.

Huy Fong halting Sriracha production until after Labor Day, due to chili pepper shortages. Again.

I read, but couldn't confirm, that it was a 1979 (pre-embargo) Bell helicopter. Why they would have their president flying in a 45 year old helicopter without a secure replacement parts supply chain in place doesn't make much sense. Why not get a Russian or French helicopter?

I was excited about Davis' two homers, then read they were off a position player pitching. Ugh.

Lots of uninsured drivers here, terrible under capacity infrastructure

Bubba Chandler to the 7 day injured list down in Altoona, due to forearm tightness. Ugh. Hopefully TJ surgery won't follow.

I like how things used to be made to be able to be fixed, even smaller electronics like that.

Why on earth would he keep that tape after he bought it?

Hubris

Theater of the Absurd

My dad was halfway through organizing his 45s when he went into the hospital last year. I helped him with some of it, which was very cool listening to his memories of the songs and artists. We took a handful after my mom died and we cleaned out the house, but haven't had the heart to really sit and ...

Just added my 15 year old to our car insurance policy. It was $533 a month for the three of us with three cars, now with 4 drivers and 3 cars, it will be $740 a month. Good times.

Why do my kids need to drive?

That was from a hail storm up there. It's probably vinyl siding, which is popular down here because it's cheap.

I remember destructive tornados and then being told "oh, noooo, those were actually microbursts" as if the flattened house cared if there actually was a funnel or not. I'm in a local (to me) Facebook group that has a lot of northern transplants in it. Periodically, someone asks about homeowner's in...
