There is an orange blimp flying around DTLA advertising Marty Supreme and it really just seems like an awful bad day to be flying a blimp.

Do you know how hard it is to get someone with a seat in the press box to write about the blatant union busting happening with the Dodgers? No one wants to lose access.
Major media outlets have little to no interest in holding the wealthy and powerful accountable. Probably because major media outlets these days are dominated by the wealthy and the powerful and the people who want nothing more than to be near them.

Yeah life can suck but sometimes you live you life in a way that you’re at your fourth Halloween party of the year mid way through November. 🎃

Tour Guides, who work year round, still make minimum wage without benefits, btw.

Taking the bus. I had just gotten my own truck and was free of the school bus. Now, I prefer public transit and get annoyed when I have to drive somewhere.
What do you like now that 16 year old you would hate you for?

Yeah it sucks that Cal didn’t win but it’s the same reason why Ron Cey never won a Gold Glove.

I also bring up the fact that that Freddie should have a silver bat but the Mets sat Jeff McNeil and I will remain bitter about that forever.
Also, the three managers who were nominated for MOY went 1-9 against Dave Roberts in the postseason and if you think I’m not going to tell every single tour group that fact all offseason, think again.

I think about this moment from Will Smith all too often.

Solidarity! ✊🏻
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

We could become the Trolley Dodgers once more!
When the LAX AirTrain is “done” they should just keep extending it until they get to Dodger Stadium. Step off the plane at 5 PM and be in your seat for first pitch an hour later.

So this is to say: It's entirely possible that some of the men you deeply admire, for such good reasons, have done terrible things to women - & those women matter, too.

And also that, if you've been hurt by a Great Man (or a small or middling man) I see you, & I believe you.

Was riding horses cross country and the group was crossing a narrow gully when my friend’s horse spooked. The horse skidded off to the left, she went flying, tumbling over her right side, somehow did a complete flip and landed on her feet standing up in the creek.
had an awful day. please reply with your favorite memory someone that totally ate shit in a physical way that isn’t a total bummer

So the new Frankenstein is a DNF for me.

I typed up a whole rant but it got mean and so I deleted it and I’ll just say go watch Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from 1994, it’s way, way better than whatever that was.

Maybe if a cheating scandal had been met with swift and harsh punishment, we don’t get to where we are today.

That Ortiz and Clase reportedly received the EXACT same dollar amount from fixers — in 2025! — as Shoeless Joe Jackson and Lefty Williams did in 1919 is … completely absurd. And another reason why player salaries have very little to do with why these gambling scandals happen.

Reading Walter Allston’s 1966 autobiography and guess what the Dodgers got called chokers in 1962 so guess what they did in 1963.
Folks.

Don’t you remember the last time the baseball world said the Dodgers didn’t deserve to win? The last time you discounted them and called them lucky but undeserving?

If you keep this up, they’re gonna find a way to win two World Series per year.

“It is unrealistic to expect an entire group of twenty-five men to hold over from one season to the next, and I don’t imagine that kind of standpatism has ever taken place in any major league club.”

Walter Alston on the 1956 Dodger roster, the season after the club’s first World Series win.
