Run, bike, bourbon, coffee, dogs, and sometimes birds. Retired boat guy. Mina and Penny’s dad. The fact that you can only do a little is no excuse for doing nothing. - John LeCarré

I loved the animation and the cast of characters around the Colossus but oof Kaz was annoying and it felt like a bit of a letdown after Rebels.

I’d buy starting pitching (but not real starting pitching, that’s expensive).

I’d buy your love… (but only for half a season or so)

Marcel the Shell is on HBO and this image is going to get a lot of use.

Truman has only been home four months, so not surprised it hasn’t been repaired yet, but yeah, the notion that we’re ready to perform Battle-of-Midway like repairs to get ships back in the fight is pretty absurd.

A tweet from @armchairw showing pictures of the Harry S Truman (CVN 75) collision damage eight months apart. The caption reads “All those people clamoring for war with China don’t seem to realize that when USN ships are lost or damaged - as they will be - they will not be replaced and they will not be repaired.”

This poem came out in 2005 and man, it felt so needed at the time, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bush, Cheney, waterboarding, rendition, and surely things couldn’t get much worse.

What We Need - David Budbill

The Emperor,
his bullies
and henchmen
terrorize the world
every day,
which is why
every day
we need
a little poem
of kindness,
a small song
of peace
a brief moment
of joy.

It sort of boggles the mind (or maybe not) that these are the people most likely to invoke government oppression at Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bundt Ranch/Malheur, etc.

Someone pointed out ~9k people managed to run the Portland Marathon and half-marathon today. Pretty impressive for a war zone.

Nice day for a ride around Norfolk/Chesapeake/Portsmouth.

Got to use my favorite answer for “.300+ batting average season” and “only one team” on immaculate grid today. (.03%, fist pump)

I am watching for the first time on Netflix.
- the angels are one of the most stunning visual creations ever
- I needed more Pen Pen

Great stuff, thanks. I wonder, not super excited about Verlander, pitching wise, but would he fill the need for the veteran presence the clubhouse needs?
