Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it
A cartoon of two guys about to box. On the left, an old-timey bare-knuckle boxer type with a curly moustache and muscles. A ribbon on his belt says "Kid realismo social". On the right, a scrawny beatnik/hippy type with round glasses, a beard with no moustache. His shorts say "Kid abstracto". Artist signature says Alberto Isaac.

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos of other people watching shows and movies I like. Sounds insane but it’s quite pleasant.

I don't know what I expected reading Moby Dick to be like but I'm excited every day to check in on my favorite scallywags and see what nautical hijinks they're getting up to
kinda sucks that there's only one day a year it's acceptable to put on a diaper and shoot arrows at people
Certainly possible. They could also change within games, depending on the situation. If you’re losing, put in the best bats. If you’re winning, go with the best defensive alignment.
Yeah, they could prioritize third base reps for Bichette. But I also imagine part of the appeal of signing him is that he provides better coverage for a Lindor injury than Mauricio does, at least offensively.
Still could be Lindor. If he’s not ready, I assume they would put Bichette there temporarily, with Baty at third.

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else.
I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada.

One of the funniest conspiracy theories is that Kubrick was killed for Eyes Wide Shut but at the same time they were like "well he worked really hard on this, only fair to give it a wide release"

I would guess Brujan gets DFA’d at some point and they try to get him through waivers. Mauricio, he does have an option and I could see them sending him down for regular reps. But he could stay up, or Jared Young could snag a spot.
It’s negotiated into a player’s contract when he’s coming from NPB or KBO. Most of the guys getting a few million will have it written that they get to return to free agency when the deal is done. There are exceptions, with Eric Lauer and Albert Suarez being a couple who were still controllable.

cool name why’s it called that
I’m assuming the plan is to add in one corner, hence the Tucker pursuit, then let Benge and Taylor battle for center. Ideally, Taylor will just be a fourth outfielder in the near future.
Hello. I’m not sure I see a great match there. Mets already have a glove-first center fielder in Tyrone Taylor and have Carson Benge on the cusp.
now is a great time to buy an apartment building because in a few years everyone will be calling them all pre-war.
I don’t like it when you say an historic.
You’re telling me this lamp is sad?

I don’t know. The waiver process is supposed to be contained within the seven-day DFA window. Also, the Christmas-to-New-Year pause doesn’t explain Noel and Wiemer, who were both DFA’d on December 17th and still out there.
