I hope the @redsox are looking for more than a "competent" infield. If you shake a tree ten gloves will fall out...but only one bat.

I'm delighted that my paper, "Against 'Legal Facts'", is now out in the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence.
Come for the anti-metaphysical drivel; stay for the Michael Jackson references.

It does seem to be a blizzard.
Likewise Klaebo's finish in 50k cross country skiing, surprisingly thrilling.
Not much competition but I enjoyed the men's speed skating "Mass start." Mainly because it was a real head to head race to the finish line--not just comparing times. #27olympics
You got me on the Game 7 part. Me, I'm partial to the Bobby Thompson shot. Also given the context Kirk Gibson in 1986 has to be considered. And, admittedly, kind of personally, you'll never beat Carlton Fisk in game 6!
A new series of urban nocturnes. It’s only fitting to kick it off with one of the ugliest signs of em all- a mixture of brutalist sensibility and a LiteBrite from the 80s.

Those are fighting words Chis!
And sedating.

NFL Hall of Fame voters have apparently adopted the MLB Hall of Fame "character test," that has excluded Rose, Bonds and Clemens. They should change the names to Halls of Niceness.

This is discouraging. "Much of that support at the appellate level came from judges whom Mr. Trump appointed during his first term. In 2025, they voted in his favor 92 percent of the time." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...
