this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
[going door to door with a gas can] trick or treat!
I once held a mom sobbing in the bakery area over getting her 8yo a “birthday cake like my friends have” and budgeting food for the rest of the month.
Guess these cretins can check off gluttony now.

Nice. I had to do a double take that this wasn’t written by @litwick.net
Darby is happily sitting on mossy cement steps leading up a low hill to a house
She’s less happy now
Hey Darby, did you hear I was left a cooling system in my father’s will? It’s a heir conditioner!
I love you so much
This makes me so sad wtf
these military baseball hardos will be so disappointed to find out we kill people by pushing buttons from an office now.
That insipid USA chant really brings down the vibes of this game.
Duck tetherball! Giving our residents food in novel ways is just one of the methods we use to provide them with mental stimulation and enrichment.
If he weren't already a Hall of Famer, Albert Pujols would clinch his candidacy now by using a Bic 4-color pen in the dugout.
I love her. She was the shy tiny one at first so I held her a lot. Now she’s always ready to rumble.
Haha yes
Condoleezza is back so that sounds about right

That’s Violet. She’s the sweetest of the bunch.
I wasn’t going to, but I think I’ve changed my mind.

Took the puppies out to the playpen for some sunshine. I said I wasn’t going to get attached, but LOOK AT THEM. I’m going to cry when they’re adopted.
C’mon, that’s a London tube station, not a ballplayer.
I’m a “read more than one book at a time” gal, so I try to pair with something lighter.

Oof so timely. Might be time for a reread.
A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ 274 had been. Fortunately for them, perhaps. The closer men came to perfecting for themselves a paradise, the more impatient they seemed to become with it, and with themselves as well. They made a garden of pleasure, and became progressively more miserable with it as it grew in richness and power and beauty; for then, perhaps, it was easier for them to see that something was missing in the garden, some tree or shrub that would not grow. When the world was in darkness and wretchedness, it could believe in perfection and yearn for it. But when the world became bright with reason and riches, it began to sense the narrowness of the needle's eye, and that rankled for a world no longer willing to believe or yearn. Well, they were going to destroy it again, were they?—this garden Earth, civilized and knowing, to be torn apart again that Man might hope again in wretched darkness.
A little light reading this morning.
I hope there comes a day when the #Reds place a plaque at GABP to honor Bertha Wenzlick Bertram, who made the famous Red Stockings uniforms. #WomensDay
Vladdy opens the scoring for Team DR! #WorldBaseballClassic
They will pry my kazoo from my cold, dead hands.
There has never been a game where the managers have a combined 1,100+ MLB homers, as there is in Andruw Jones' Netherlands vs. Albert Pujols' Dominican Republic today.
