I imagined @dodint watching the results of this Mets series looking like this:

We have several 3D printers in our building for our campus makerspace. I'd never really seen a small one before, only the large industrial ones that are used at our local technical college. So to print my wife's Taboo card holder you shared with me, I decided to look into how to use them. I have to ...

For All Mankind renewed for season five, and a Soviet centered spinoff is in the works:

The kid has some swagger. I like it.

Shogun 9 was excellent. Really peak TV. Red Wedding level (although not the same type of event, just execution)

Well, he was a massive homer. But unless something has changed, they couldn't determine the cause of his speech issues...which is scary. Hope he gets better.

Peter Jackson remastered Let it Be and it will air on Disney+ on May 8th.

Sleepy Don? He looks fine.

Evidently, he's on the big O or something like that. Losing weight for the campaign stretch run.

An old crank professor I used to work with at my previous school is now retired and sits on Facebook all day long. Big trending post on FB is him complaining about protestors on the Golden Gate Bridge. Naturally, that's the leading story on FoxNews.com. CNN and MSNBC are covering Trump's trial.

Fayettenam, NC edition.

I can't imagine the shitstorm that would happen here if we had to pay local taxes. :lol: Hey, stuff might actually work if they had such taxes. Likely not. Our state comptroller and treasurer are fighting over who's to blame for $1.8 billion sitting in a pass-through account. No one knows where it c...

Kudos to the background actors in that Beavis and Butthead sketch. How none of them broke during that entire skit was a miracle. So good.

I've been to 3-4 Fancy Food Shows (that's the name of the trade group or whatever) at the Javits Center but not in 20 years - tales from my previous life. Most of our old standbys are long gone, sadly. I do need to get back up there though. My son graduates from high school and is headed off to Clem...

Ryan Gosling is so good on SNL.

This is from a few seasons ago:



Last night:

Did anyone here read the original comics? They were not family friendly.

My youngest son passed his road test yesterday. It was very touch and go as we were practicing parallel parking the night before. Heated arguments between my wife, son, and I on the perfect parking method. He had two different instructors tell him how to do it, but also the two of us. Too many chief...

There's a clip of Skenes asking for a replay on one of his pitches. He taps his hat, and the replay video starts like in tennis. He got it overruled, and it was a strike 3 call. Evidently, he did it twice yesterday. Both successful challenges and from pitch to overturn, it was like 20 seconds.

nihilism

Ha, I was a PoliSci major who wanted to go to law school around that time as well. I halfheartedly took the LSAT and got waitlisted at U of SC school of law, but by then I too was disillusioned with the legal system and never pursued it further.

The best thing about OJ dying is all the love ol' Norm is getting today.

I still think Anjin's voice - a deliberate choice by the actor - sounds like Richard Burton. And I'm digging it.

Broad sword calling Danny Boy! Broad sword calling Danny Boy!

This sounds spicy, South Park dudes are also involved

There's no way to be disappointed with Shogun. Unless you don't like reading subtitles or something, and even then there are ways around doing that.

You watched Patriot, right? If not, I recommend that.

The Gentlemen - from Guy Ritchie - just out on Netflix is good as well.

Further Shōgun musings Something that occurred to me last night while ruminating. Ishdio has levied the charge that Toranaga aims to assassinate the heir to the throne - Yaechiyo, the son of the deceased taikō - and that is why there have been all the machinations with the Council of Regents and wh...
