    Tolstoy knew a thing or two. According to the essays George Orwell wrote about Tolstoy he was a crank (as was Orwell) in his own weird ways but he had some admirable traits as well. https://bigthink.com/high-culture/tolstoy-shakespeare/#:~:text=George Orwell’s response to Tolstoy Shakespeare%2C having died,compelling argument for why we should read Shakespeare.

    Spent the last 4 innings blissfully asleep. I do enjoy the try-hard version of this team and its near constant winning. Now, go for broke and sweep the DH.

    Badoo is becoming the player he was supposed to be this year. There is hope.

    Not as bad as it could have been. If I were any team that had our playoff destination already locked in I'd sandbag the doubleheader. Have position players pitch both games.

    She's talking about cleaning up in another way. https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/10/03/whitmer-abortion-proposal-poach-companies-talent-from-anti-choice-states/69529559007/

    I raised an eyebrow at this https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2022/10/03/edsel-ford-calls-out-st-pauls-in-gp-on-anti-abortion-signage/69533990007/ Was thinking this was some crazy maga in the Ford family but turns out its the opposite. Country club area Catholic extremist.

    Good thing for the purposes of your engineering snark that she wasn't named Liz Flying-Buttress

    Just what we needed: Midnight baseball in the final week of the season. Imagine if we were in a playoff chase?

    My son and my money go there. But sure as hell, it was the Quicken Loans guy who covered the difference for him to go there vice some school in Virginia. They seem to have deep pockets these days in EL.

    My son the freshman at MSU sends that the natives in EL are pretty restless. He's more into D&D and Halo to give too much of a damn for football (this was the smartest thing I ever did for him, not imposing my fan obsessiveness on him).

    So, Ryan Day apologized for that? I see they apologized for not taking a knee on their final drive. I think the brittle culture of OSU and its primer-sniffing fans would benefit from some catharsis.

    another blow for privacy rights

    I'm enjoying the hell out of this last two weeks of Tigers Baseball. Lets hire wiz kid GMs that put the fear of God into the players and coaches all the time.

    I thought the Ryan Day is a born-on-third-base bich stuff was just propaganda. But, man...they are just classless and soft as baby poop. I hope we beat them in the Shoe. They need to be brought down a couple pegs.

    Nothing but rain here in Nova. So, this is a nice change.

    What the hell is up with the political Car Shield commercial? Thomas Paine? Might bear some research.

    True statement.

    Not to mention the norm shattering degree to which he defined deviancy down.

    Watching Indiana/Nebraska. Is Nebraska actually ok despite their 1-3 record or is Indiana not that good?

    At Target in northern Virginia and “Mister Brightside” is playing. Clearly Target is M fan friendly.

    goal line stand of a sort.

    Can I just say the couple in the Behr paint commercial who don't mind if you spill on their freshly painted walls is very much a sleeper favorite commercial for me. Particularly when the lady squeezes her husband's arm just a bit too much -- implying she's not quite right in the head. Her transformation from regular housewife to paint obsessed wonton really does seem like high art posing as advertising.
