That game was rough, but it's just because the script writers wanted Shohei to have the greatest World Series game seven of all time.

If you wait for the right time to do something difficult, you may be waiting forever. Worse, you may deceive yourself with excuses to wait. Avoid being reckless, but do not wait for another day when today is waiting for you.

The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washington—like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.
Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?

I admire everyone who canceled the NY Times but there are other kinds of activism too (doing ANTIFA as my first word on days when it’s in Spelling Bee)

The Foundation's music is stellar. But it's exactly what I thought it was. It takes itself WAY too seriously. The books are sorta lightheaded and fun (despite their weighty material). Asimov had a great sense of humor.
This show, doesn't. It's fine.

The people running the team know better, too. But they’ve made a decision to bury their heads in the sand and hope that all of this passes before ICE raids the Dodger Stadium parking lot.
The Dodgers’s silence about ICE in LA — and Dave Roberts’ feigned ignorance about what’s going on — is an absolutely horsehit look for the franchise of Jackie Robinson and Fernando Valenzuela www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...
Commentary: Cowardly Dodgers remain silent as ICE raids terrorize their fans
The Dodgers have declined to release a statement in support of their fans protesting ICE raids that have ripped apart families in Southern California.

A polite bigot is a bigot nonetheless. A true warrior knows that courteous words do not dilute the poison, but only serve to conceal it until it has spread. Civility in the service of hate deserves no polite response.
