There are several international free agents who could interest the Giants, who have been hard at work scouting this winter's class (via @alexpavlovic.bsky.social)
Can Giants find solutions for roster holes in this offseason's international MLB free agent class?

I got snipped at the last time I went off on Trope Derangement Syndrome…but every time I see one of those graphics I get incredibly sad for my profession. Art is more than the sum of its TV Tropes tags! Our work is not “content!!” Let us not go gentle into that extremely online night!!!
I get why authors are compelled to do it, but few things make me want to read a book/story less than those tropelist pointing to the book marketing banners. I really wish they'd go away, but I guess they Do work as a marketing tactic on more people than they're off-putting to.

Shrike, Tuunbaq, even Demogorgon from the largely forgettable Olympos/Iliom. Dan Simmons might be a nasty-minded bigot but when it comes to Big Monsters, that creep can roll
What's your favourite monster/creature from literature? I'm thinking Tuunbaq from Dan Simmon's The Terror, the triffids from Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, the demon from M.R. James' Casting The Runes, Grendel, Pennywise, etc.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

there are so many pop songs I mainly experienced via my wife getting them stuck in their head for 3 weeks. like I just heard “it’s me, hi, I’m the problem” in the cafeteria at work and I’m like “oh shit that’s what that sounds like when it’s not sung a cappella with a cat in front of your face”
