24 years ago I was living in Seattle, and the city’s enthusiasm around the #Mariners and their division championship made me a lifelong fan. Tonight I’m celebrating alone in my living room in New Jersey, but my heart is fully in the PNW right now. Postseason. Let’s go!
The #Mariners are champions of the AL West!
Cal Raleigh homered twice to reach 60 on the season as the M's beat the Rockies 9-1 to seal up their first division title since 2001.

As I shake off the doldrums of winter and lace up my running shoes, I’m once again reminded of this open letter to asthma I wrote at McSweeney’s years ago. The inhaler remains, but at least my cat allergies seem to have vanished.

An Open Letter to Asthma
Dear Asthma,
You and I have been together for a long time now. And in that time, we’ve shared quite a bit about ourselves with each other. That is ...

I keep thinking about this Playstation 2 commercial that David Lynch directed lately. It’s on brand for him, not so much for Sony.
