It probably would have been great for him b/c everyone always asks about NYPD Blue and working with Dennis Franz.

The two greatest things that ever happened to me:
1- playing with Joe Jackson before he took that turn against the Cincinnati ball club
2- being traded 90 miles north by that cheapskate Charlie Comiskey

I can't even imagine. I saw the original Tron on HBO in 1983. I saw it once and I can't imagine remembering the plot or characters in 2010, much less now.

TRON 4. I assume they are all reboots b/c of the gap b/w movies.

1982
2010
2025

Sadly, they are getting more frequent. At this rate, the next one will be in 2032.

Tron Deadly Discs was a pretty good game on Intellivision.

Disney executives, if you're listening, hire me to work for your development department and I will do things like say "do not do this" when someone else suggests giving Jared Leto $180M to make TRON 3. My rate is affordable.

The dream of a Mariners-Brewers World Series is still alive.

Neither team has ever won the World Series, so that would be fun. It would also be the two smallest media markets remaining (by significant ratios), which would drive the Commissioner's office crazy.

Under the FTCA, I think you have to file allege negligence in the performance of their official duties, but you don't have to sue the individual, just the agency.

So it was false arrest, false imprisonment, assault, and battery by ICE, crimes they have done countless times this administration, but maybe, just maybe, someone will file state charges and file tort claims against them.

Jacqueline Sweet @jsweetli.bsky.social · 1d

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

A tailor is not just supposed to make the clothing you request. They are supposed to guide you on making choices, both in terms of style and fit for your body type.

There is more than the Peace Prize. There are science prizes awarded for very important research and discoveries. They are worth caring about.

Why would a team bunt with a runner on second and no outs, down 3? It's pretty much the dumbest thing possible.

Well done. You scared them off. Or maybe it's b/c their own writer @keithlaw.bsky.social liked the criticism.

I think some of the on-field player interviews are decent as long as they aren't merely cliches. If they ask the player about getting ready on defense and what they are going to do if the ball is hit to their left/right, they can be really good.
