@colemk.bsky.social Can we get a Giants Talk with special guest Roger Munter to talk about the state of the Giants development system? Alex was on his podcast. I think your listeners would benefit from Roger returning the favor.

Remembering Chris Cornell today on the anniversary of his death. Here’s what I consider his best vocal performance and a song that was the absolute highlight of his solo shows.

@stevenbrust.bsky.social I just got to Tsalmoth on audiobook. Where is Bernard Setaro Clark??? And why does this narrator sound like he used Goodfellas for inspiration? This is not what Kragar sounds like. . .
