A couple of decades ago, I went to a concert. Ended up right next to Richard Belzer for the duration. At one point he asked me what time it was. I told him.

Not sure why, but for the second Fever Dream in a row, the episode showed up at the same time as 3 previews for the episode in the Apple Podcast app.

A good explanation of the crazy-making fact that most of the American economy doesn't actually involve making or selling anything any more. Strong recommendation for "Bad Company". I just read "Barbarians at the Gate" a few months ago, and this is a worthy companion. Thanks @greenwell.bsky.social

June 23, threw a no-hitter and hit two homers. One walk away from a perfect game. My pick for the best game anyone has ever had in major league history.

Surprisingly not even Rick Wise’s best game of that season.

Rancid stuff. But also, the part where the son has your name? Spelled a little different but apparently sounds the same.

At a concert in NY, I was standing next to Richard Belzer. Between sets, he asked me for the time and I told him. He said thanks.

"Oh so you like it when AOC rails against elites but you don't like it when RFK Jr. rails against elites?" is utterly brain dead and absolutely EVERYWHERE.

AOC is right that inequality is bad and RFK Jr is wrong that vaccines are bad. It's not hypocritical to like one of them and not the other!!!

if my team won the Super Bowl because we were so good at running the most basic play possible that they had to ban it, I would not stop talking about it until the day I died. Congratulations to Eagles fans everywhere, your team defeated football

I actually watched just the 11th inning. The Giants just lit up Pressly. Either he was tipping his pitches and the Giants knew what was coming or his stuff is so cooked that you don’t need to know what’s coming to hit it hard.

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age

You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

Kenny Lofton: 622
Juan Pierre: 614
Jose Reyes: 517
Ichiro: 509
Carl Crawford: 480
Jimmy Rollins: 470
Rickey Henderson: 468

Photo of a page from the found poetry compilation O Holy Cow! The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto. The page features a short poem called Buns. The titular buns belong to baseball legend Rickey Henderson, who tragically passed away earlier today

Text on page: 

Buns

He has powerful legs and cute buns. 
That Henderson. 
That was a great shot. 
Going to second base there.
There’s nothing wrong with that, White.
That’s a popular expression.
High, and it’s one and one. 
His legs were churning. 

  May 10, 1987 
  New York at Minnesota
  Charlie Hudson pitching to Al Newman 
  (Replay of stolen base)
  Third inning, no outs, bases empty
  Yankees lead 4-0

RIP, Rickey Henderson. Probably my favorite player of all time.

Felt compelled to share this poem about Rickey Henderson from a collection of found poetry scraped from things Yankee broadcaster Phil Rizzuto said on-air.

@davidjroth.bsky.social @mobute.bsky.social Thought that the two of you might appreciate this glitch. For the last few years, for any album where Apple Music doesn’t have art, the art from Dave & Jeb Aren’t Mean is auto-populated. A ridiculous percentage of my music is attached to the pod logo.
