According to Star Trek canon, MLB folds in 2042. So let’s enjoy baseball while we can.
Solid candy. As a nation, we’ve allowed Reese's, Snickers and M&Ms to dominate the discourse. When is the last time you heard anyone say “You know what I really appreciate? A good Kit Kat.”

The same people demanding Henry Cuellar be primaried are probably the same people who were demanding that Joe Manchin be primaried.
You don’t have to agree with or like these guys. You do have to acknowledge they help Democrats run up their number of seats. You can’t just airdrop an AOC everywhere.

Honestly, I’m with Nuzzi on this one. You can visit the baseball hall of fame. You can visit the football hall of fame. Why would you not be able to visit the WWE Hall of Fame? Jesus, put it in Orlando. It’d get a million paying visitors a year.
Someone get me a pitch meeting with Triple H.

I’ve decided I want MacKenzie Gore to be a Cub. The two teams line up nicely in that Owen Caissie is of no real use to the Nationals, who already have way too many outfielders. So the Cubs can keep their #1 guy in this scenario, allowing Toboni more leeway to pillage the rest of their farm system.

Since we’re potentially a week away from the reveal of the 2026 Nationals promo schedule, here are my bobblehead predictions, made a bit more challenging given that a decent chunk of the roster could be traded or moved to the bullpen before Opening Day:
1) Wood
2) Gray
3) Butera
4) Cavalli
5) Lile
1) Wood

But I’m not not saying it, either.

I’ve not seen most of the films on this list. Many of them, I haven’t heard of.
But just in terms of horror films, I don’t know how it’s possible to claim with a straight face that Weapons is a better film than Sinners. One is a fun, perfectly cromulent horror movie. The other is a masterpiece.

Rolling Stone didn't put Sinners on its top 20 list of films for this year and I'm appalled.

Good. A Times Square casino would have been absolutely insufferable.

Cyber Monday made sense in 2005 when people were still like “Buy something online? I don’t know. Seems weird!”
But now that every day is Cyber Monday, especially Black Friday, how has the term not been retired? Just fold everything into a weeklong sales extravaganza and call it all Black Friday.

This is my plan as well when I’m 79, but for my comic book collection and a few boxes of DVDs instead of a multimillion dollar fortune, and the $66K payment will just be a one-time thing instead of paid annually, and it also won’t be $66K.

I don’t know about this new front office strategy of raiding other, better teams and poaching their best minds. Surely there’s something to be said for simply hiring your unemployed friends, never holding any of them accountable and hoping for the best.

I’m torn between really liking Welcome to Derry (the eyeball scene…Jesus Christ…) and being annoyed at the continuing trend of Hollywood providing a backstory for stuff that doesn’t need one. (See also: Prometheus.)

If you’re driving around with a Christmas tree on your car roof today…congratulations. You did it right. You get it.
Though not nearly as egregious as leaving your tree up well into January, you people who had your trees up in early November were just trying to cheat the system.

That stretch of time where people lined up outside big box stores at 4 AM on Black Friday for the same deals that they can now buy on their phone while laying in bed, seems like a fever dream.
Even the doorbuster stuff, formerly the province of the truly deranged BF shopper, can be bought online.
