I’m doing research for a podcast I’m planning on creating and I’ve made an Amazon wishlist to help with research materials, because books are expensive and I am broke.
If you do buy something off this list, first of all, thank you. Second, please only get Dodgers/Giants books on the list.

@thoc.bsky.social I just tried writing the intro for my first podcast episode and, honestly, I don’t know how the hell you do it. I keep looking at my intro thinking “this looks like shit,” and “how the hell am I supposed to get this to half an hour?!”

I think my cat likes it when I sing.
Just now, I was singing a song on a whim and no sooner do I start then he comes down and starts cuddling up next to me.
Song ends and he goes back upstairs. I start again and he comes right back, purring away and curled up on his blankie.

I've been fighting a cold since last weekend. So to help clear everything out, I've ordered sushi with a whole heaping lot of wasabi.

Someone brought their small, yappy dog onto the plane.
If I had brought my cat on board, he would be quietly perusing the menu and wondering, somewhat passive-aggressively, why the food service hasn’t begun yet.
Because he is a gentleman. He’s sophisticated.

When I inevitably have to flee my homeland, based on the TikTok videos I’ve seen, I can make a killing selling brisket in the UK.
