I personally can't wait for "Love At Isle Royale National Park" where some perfectly attractive actors have a meet cute on a piney strand while a group of wolves are just stripping an elk carcass to the joints in the background

Judge is batting .500 in the playoffs with a 1.381 OPS but people are STILL saying he's "choking".

I am so horrible at reading hits off the bat in person. Sitting there with my scorebook at the stadium:

Y'all can hate on this EA deal all you want, us old-school haters are still pissed about how they did Origin dirty.

Lunchtime Escape The Everpresent Horror thoughts:

Would Coco Crisp batting against Rocky Cherry be the tastiest-sounding at bat in MLB history? I gotta think it's up there somewhere.

I haven't seen the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man go at each other like this since Annie.

I still have the Tolkien map from my original LOTR burned into my brain. I can see the red lettering floating up into my vision.

We got falcons on the Verrazano Narrows, the Tappan Zee (miss me with that other name), and the Bayonne Bridge.

I always feel strange doing this sort of thing but Defector.com has had an incredible January, just a ton of really good stories on a wide range of topics, and I suggest subscribing to it. I am biased, obviously, but I am really proud and grateful to get to do this the way we're doing it.

You're talking about a world where maybe a plurality of people don't believe in climate change because they got a half an inch of snow while Australia burns.

Is there a specific kink for getting aroused by Stellaris border gore? I feel like there's a German word for it.
