pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

They say baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the greatest games ever played?

About every half hour today, one of my brain cells says “Hey, should we think about that Blue Jays game at all?” and then all the other ones go “NOPE” and beat the first one to death.

Brutal loss. Gutting. But a brilliant season for the Jays and an all-timer World Series. A stunner of a team.
Bring it home next year.

Winnipeg Jets win tonight, the Blue Jays are having themselves a hell of a first game of the World series. Good night to be a sports fan (hopefully not jinxing things, lol).
