Today I learned that the "club" in "book club" is a noun, not a verb. Now what am I supposed to do with all these hardcover books?

Today is the kind of day where you can admire someone's Halloween costume but can't actually compliment them on it because there's a ~10% chance they just look like that.

What a time to be alive. Today I had a song from Earthbound in my head and, on one try, found the game's entire soundtrack on Spotify.

40 of the players on MLB Pipeline's list of the game's top 100 prospects are 22 or older.
Jackson Chourio, who just finished his second MLB season, won't turn 22 until March.

I can only speak from my own experience here, but the best way to work on your writing is to write. A lot. You need a routine, you need a rhythm, it's how you develop your voice. You should also read, too, and I don't just mean books. Just keep all of that part of your brain active and well-fed.
They guy writing horseshit about how you're not really writing unless you're doing it "with the urgency of someone holding a gun in your mouth" is a marketing guy and his ridiculous thread is an act of personal marketing. If you're an aspiring writer do not listen to that sort of nonsense.

Everyone loves their manager when he wins, but this is the kind of stuff that gets old real fast when he doesn't.
Asked Pat Murphy about Christian Yelich today. I will place the answer here.

Looks like a strong possibility road teams are about to improve to 5-0 in the LCS this season, so at least the Brewers have that going for them.

Remember back in early August when the Brewers were 44-16 in their last 60 games, the best 60-game stretch in franchise history?
It turns out this season they also had the best stretch of every number of games from 61-103, also.

The grumpiest people in America right now are the news people working at Fox affiliates around the country waiting for this post-game to end so they can produce an extremely late local newscast no one will watch.
