It's hard to see in the picture, but the alt text points out that the baseball has rainbow stitching. It doesn't look like those actually exist, which is weird; I suspect someone could make a lot of money selling baseballs with rainbow stitching.
I like the logo, but that jersey is giving off major "1980s Houston Astros" vibes.

I hope some canny editor is commissioning an historian of ancient art to write about how buffoonish this 'ai showed me the rest of this picture' stuff is. I have an intuitive sense but wouldn't explain it well.

Housing is so expensive in SF, that the only way to afford a place is to be in a polycule.

OTOH, there are 10,000 carts selling street meat in Manhattan, so maybe needing a fork isn't that big an impediment.

The only justification I can think for this is that some types of dumplings are hard to eat with your hands.

Why haven’t dumpling trucks become as ubiquitous as taco trucks? I want to live in a world where there’s a truck on every corner with a selection of tasty dumplings from across the globe. Empanadas pirogis jiaozi goyza xaolongbao blintzes … all that good dumplingness

If there are two main things Homer tells us about Achilles in the Iliad , it is that he is swift-footed, and his anger is deep and slow to mend. In many senses, this makes him the originator of The Fast and the Furious. In this essay I will

When Disney runs out of animated films to remake as live action/cgi, they should switch to making animated version of some of their classic films. Just imagine a beautifully-animated musical cartoon of "The Rocketeer" or "The Parent Trap"!

I made the mistake of driving to the Mets game last night. Parking was $40 and the drive took almost as long as the subway, plus 20 minutes finding a parking spot that was only good until 8:00am, and another 15 minutes moving the car again this morning. #banCars

Some good points in this piece. I actually liked commuting when it meant taking subway in NYC – since it gave me 45-60 minutes each day when I could read – but hated it when it meant driving to a suburban office park in Rochester.

My guess is that 90% of the anti-Stratfordians have never heard of any of these playwrights.

It's funny how people never say John Webster can't have written his plays because his father was a carriage maker. Thomas Middleton's was a bricklayer. John Fletcher's a cleric. Ben Jonson's stepfather was a bricklayer. Thomas Kyd's a scrivener. Francis Beaumont was a gentleman.
