The #1 thing I took away from this article about the National's new president of baseball operations is that he has a beautiful family. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Pepco conspired with the state legislature of MD to remove energy supplier choice, but they're too lazy to remove the boilerplate language about energy choice from my statement.
Supply Charges: These charges reflect the cost of producing electricity for you. You can compare this part of your bill to offers from competitive suppliers. Your Price to Compare is 12.49 cents ($0.1249) per kWh. When shopping for electric suppliers, compare this price to those proposed by other suppliers. This price reflects the average annual amount a customer on this rate pays per kilowatt- hour for Electric Supply. For information on electric energy suppliers please visit MDEnergyChoice.com.

Pretty much the only ones I’ve ever actually liked were by L David Marquet. They’re not free of repetition or fluff, but they’ve helped me a great deal

…yes, and a sign of polarization. I mean, I doubt Archbold could write something like that today.

I want to take more joy in this than in fact I can.
The Yankees were ahead 7 - 0 until the 9th inning then the Phillies came back to score 8 runs and win the game.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate this awesome cartoon from Nick Galifianakis for Carolyn Hax's latest column?
www.washingtonpost.com/advice/2025/...
A man is sitting at a desk with a headset. A sign reads "Manipulators Tech Support". Separately, in a second panel, a woman is on her phone, speaking to him. "I have tried pushing all the buttons repeatedly. They. Don't. Work. Anymore."

A Saturday Morning Breakfast Cartoons cartoon Woman #1: "How do you do it? How do you spend so little time on your phone?" Woman #2: "Easy. Imagine you're at a crossroads. One Path is marked 'Lasting Happiness'. One is marked 'Not Being Bored Right This Second'." Woman #1: "I would get a picture of myself going to 'Lasting Happiness' then use it to make strangers online jealous." Woman #2: "The crossroads was a metaphor." Woman #1: "Ha! Nice try! I've lost the ability to think in metaphor."

2 thoughts:
1) Wow, this will make development (clone and modify) so much simpler!
2) I wonder how much confusion will result from having table IDs etc no longer being globally unique. (Which I know they already did, but it didn't really come up in practice before.)
airtable.com/appL2oaKxSWg...
An Airtable platform update: "Preserve object IDs when cloning bases" When cloning a base using “Duplicate base” or “Take snapshot”, the underlying object IDs (table IDs, record IDs, view IDs, and more) will now be preserved, with only the top-level application ID changing. This update makes it much easier to restore bases from snapshots and revert to original functionality without workarounds.

Yo, I heard you like bells, so I put a bell on your bells so you can ring bells while you ring bells.
(From my parish.)
A bell hanging from the wall, with another bell tied to the rope you pull to ring the first bell.

Nobody wants a smidge.
Smidge, a smart fridge from the video game Hi-Fi Rush. He is overly friendly to the point of being creepy, and can tell things about you that you don't know yourself.

Our new car battery doesn’t have a reminder built in of which terminal is which. So I got some help from my seven-yo daughter.
