I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:
- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

Today in 1983 Stanislav Petrov saved the human race.
On duty at the Soviet early warning command centre, he refused to warn superiors of radar reports of an incoming US strike. It proved to be a false alarm. If the Soviets had responded it would have been all out nuclear war.

When George Lucas' epic space opera was released into theaters, it was titled: "STAR WARS".
It wouldn't be until 1981, for the theatrical re-release, that it became "Star Wars IV: A New Hope". This came AFTER "Empire Strikes Back" (1980), to make the order clear.

I've put my finger on it for me. Disney+ Doctor Who is the greatly diminished American version of a good UK TV show. It's better than USA Red Dwarf but it's nothing I'll go back and rewatch. Ncuti and co. deserved much better than RTD2's tired retreads. Going to pop in the BD for classic S12 now.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.
