Boy, you are up early, says the other guy who is up early.
Tylor Megill only went five innings, but only gave up one run and two hits. His presence might help stabilize the rotation. And fair to say that getting Nimmo back has really helped the offense.
I wouldn't say that DC has forgotten Donner. In fact, Patty Jenkins said that she was doing an homage to Superman with things she did in WW84. A film that I enjoyed but that was generally disliked. I don't know how much audiences want that sort of earnest superheroics when everyone seems to be trying out for the Tony Snark Quipping Award. Personally, though, I love that, and you really can't do Superman any other way (which I think everyone who's made a Superman TV show or film since Donner except Snyder gets).
Once again, Ruth knocks it out of the park. Not only should the Dodgers suspend Bauer, he should be released. Sure, he gets his money, but he also goes away. He's radioactive and he's an asshole. The truth of what happened will probably not be known. But there is enough know to absolutely certainty that this guy has lost the privilege of walking about free among us, pounding his chest just because he can toss a baseball harder than most of the human race. Which he's apparently not a part of anyway.
Also, for all of you Charlie Bronson fans out there, X-15 from 1961 is a Richard Donner classic. Interestingly, also features Mary Tyler Moore in her first film role.
Ruth, thank you for the guest post. I am sorry that you have been made into the target of harassers and trolls for bringing logic to the discussion.
I wish you the best and wish for a fairytale land where survivors of sexual abuse and IPV didn’t have to face such a barrage of reports of it that are uncritically reported in our media outlets.
I would also say, just as a general comment, that consent is affirmative and can be withdrawn at anytime so, in my mind, asking for something at one point in time is not carte blanche. Not to go all sex educator in your comments Craig but it is one aspect of the story (THE TEXTS SAY THIS) that has been bothering me.
The Dodgers have long been my secondary team but I think I will jump on the Padres bandwagon.
I can’t believe you mentioned the Castellanos HR without realizing he did it AGAIN, this time interrupting a eulogy for a long-time Royals employee. And incredibly he hit it in the exact same spot of the exact same road ballpark.
Today's lesson was on perspective, ladies and gents, and a much needed lesson at that. Ruth, what a fantastic post. To all those boys slinging arrows on twitter, hiding behind your snarky, not so clever pseudonyms: grow up, apologize, and learn from this. You embarrass us all.
JD Vance is going to be mentioned in every newsletter from now on, isn't he?
Craig is going to make it his mission to do anything he can to derail Vance's political career. He knows he has presidential potential and ambition. He has a wealthy benefactor in Peter Thiel. He's building connections.
Most importantly, Vance has a strong myth -- he's a self-made hillbilly. You've got to have a strong myth if you're going to have a cult of personality.
Examples of a strong myth: Trump being a great, competent businessman. Obama representing hope and change. Bush jr being a compassionate born-again christian -- my gawd, were they wrong about that one. Bubba being viewed as a black man.
Bush sr really was a war hero, though -- did you know he almost got eaten by Japenese soldiers? Holy crap.

Insomnia CDT for me.

Ruth speaks the truth. Glad to read and always glad to see a challenge to Passan.

The Twitterati are having a blast with this.

Don't get me wrong, I liked your thermostat content fine. But almost any complaint seems petty after Ruth's tour de force.
