Harrison Ford gets you Apocalypse Now and some other films; Alec Guinness gets you Star Wars and a few others
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.
I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Frank Oz gets you basically all of the Star Wars, Muppets, and Sesame Street movies, plus a bunch of others, including Blues Brothers, Labyrinth, and Knives Out.

I’ll break it down another way:
If wait and you don’t get it, the game is over
If you try now and don’t get it, you need two scores
What’s better?

the transfer fees are a meaningful part of what pays the wages of all the players down the table, you can calculate the "trickle down" of league net spend

the reason top end wages are comparatively low is that there are so many more pro soccer players
it's not that this money isn't being paid to Declan Rice and just eaten by owners, it's that this money is being paid to dozens of pros who would be car salesmen in the US

it's funny to compare to soccer wages sometimes
this is £435k/wk
Cease is a 29 year old pitcher who has averaged 3.5 WAR the last four seasons (the most generous accounting possible for him)

So much of basketball is knowing who you are gonna play with and knowing that those players will be where they are supposed to be. Consistency and reliability.
Under talented teams will overachieve if they can just know what they are doing and who they are doing it with 🔂

Not quite the brief, but one of the best things you can learn to do with cooking is "what do I do with leftovers" and fried rice is a traditional option.
IT IS TIME FOR BLUESKY RECIPE POSTING
do you have a cheap, healthy, low-cost recipe? post it here! or quote tweet this post. or dunk on me for something I don't care just post easy meals that people can make right now.

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
