Every cishet man should be required to read at least three (3) romance novels.

I'm confident that a bunch of them would secretly love it because I saw how the football podcast men talked about Taylor and Travis. ("What if he proposed at the Superb*wl wouldn't that be great?" Adorbs)

Oh my God, this woman PLAYED THE GAME

Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.
The DJ round though, hooo boy.There were so many clues I felt I knew but just wasn’t quite sure enough to buzz, especially after jusssst missing the second DD (if only I had literally 1-2 more seconds!) So after missing that, I told myself to hold back and NOT NEG. I really didn’t want to go red as I found it challenging to get in when we all knew the answer. There was no guarantee I’d pick up enough buzzes to claw my way back. As the game got down to the wire I looked at the scores and realized I didn’t have enough ground to overtake them. And with the difficulty of DJ I thought the odds of me being the sole solve on FJ were basically nil. But they were verrrrry close to one another. So my best chance was to try to force a tie, as them each having to bet it all was my only path to victory. For the last few clues I held back, watching them volley. Then, with two clues remaining the scores were 7200, 7600 with $800 in play. I knew I HAD to get one of the last two $400 clues to leave the right amount on the board. Somehow the buzzer gods smiled on me, and I managed to nab the second to last clue, then didn’t buzz on the final clue, just praying Isaac got it instead of Josh

“Are you able to comment on Bassitt yet?”

Craig Albernaz: “Huh?”

“Bassitt, are you able to comment?”

Albernaz: “Who?”

He smirked. The deal isn’t officially announced yet

At 37:47, Coop is like "ok buddy, I love you too, but we've got to go celebrate, so you've got to let me go now"

And Jax is like "NO I LOVE YOU"

"Dress up as your culture" day is tricky because my kids' school is very international. You can't claim Italian when you're 4th generation and there are kids in your class born in Italy. My solution: Mets gear. Your culture is "Mets fan," kids, in more ways than you yet understand, and I'm sorry.

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Signing an old pitcher that makes all of us go "wait, huh??" right as spring training starts: apparently a Mike Elias specialty

Tyler Wells on moving on from '25: “Pete [Alonso] has said it many times. There is, in a sense, a new Oriole Way, and a lot of that is looking into the future and being very aware of what we’re capable of and really homing in on that. I think that’s the direction we want to go.”

The first live AB (that we have seen) of spring puts Dean Kremer against Samuel Basallo. A first-pitch groundout for Basallo. Baseball is underway

Since pitchers and catchers reported today, it seems like a good day to plug a list of people who post about the Orioles!

An alternate version of this joke was that the time of monsters was hockey season because I don't know how hockey works

My favorite part of this photoset is how most of them have a bag or whatever for their gear or have it inside already.

And then there's Trev, with a loose pair of pants, belt, glove, cleats, street shoes, a football for some reason... I completely fell in love with him last year, let's go Trev!
