Double-checked it because I forgot how absurd it was.

$680 million of Ohtani's contract is deferred to 2034 (when he isn't under contract anymore and 39yo). He will then be paid $68 million per year for a decade.

This does not count on the Dodgers' 2025 payroll - already the biggest in the sport.

It's nights like these that remind me how much the Dodgers circumventing the meager restrictions for MLB's salaries has completely ruined baseball. Must be nice to defer the best modern baseball player's salary until the 2040s.

The MLB is a joke of a sport.

I've been pretty depressed/anxious/whatever for a while and I don't recommend it. But I just ran for the first time in months and my body is angry but a good angry.

emphatically *yes* to going to this Brooklyn show.

Buddy you sold me on Gen 5

What if I told you that every Pokémon generation is pretty neat? Even the ones that didn't come out when you were ten. Join us as we dig into every single generation and highlight what we love about each and every one.

I hit on Gen 4 and 8. Candidly, I don't think Gen 4 is really that great, but it was hugely important to me because it got back me back into Pokémon after being distant from it since Gen 1. I do think Gen 8 rules though.

Had a pawsitive idea for Pokémon that was "Why Every Generation Rocks" and thanks to @whilhorst.bsky.social @nwrdonald.bsky.social @jusdberube.bsky.social - we have write-ups on how each of the complete Pokémon gens are special www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/7284...

People always tell me that when you have kids, you should bake in another day off when the kids go back to school/daycare because then you actually have a break and can "recharge"

I never do this lol

Hahaha I feel that. Whenever I do multiple shows in a week, my body starts to rebel against me.

That's really nice of the sound guys at least

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

A few days later but boy that Anamanaguchi show in Philly ripped.

I'm fascinated to see if this is actually connected cleanly through Lanterns and Clayface next year. If so, hey - that's kinda neat.

I've heard emulation has improved it elsewhere, but this strikes me as a thing where Nintendo went for the experience of what it was on the system originally as opposed to making it "better"

Shit you're probably right. That's what I get for quickly posting during a break in the set

Anamanaguchi time sooooon

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

That's what's up

I knew @dreamworrier.bsky.social only through Twitter and was going to Colorado and wound up hanging out with him and @owlbear80.bsky.social out there. Since then we have hung out multiple times (including going to Adjacent Fest in NJ in 2023)

LARGE BASEBALL MAN!!!!
