Yup. Good coffee is good; but you don’t need to pay a barista to fuss around a ceramic cone for it. Aeropress or french press at home, paired with any reasonable bean, will be delicious. For me, the grocery store cutoff is Dunkin’ Donuts or 8 o’clock. Both are pretty good, but you don’t want to go any cheaper.

Right. Although, Yost did deploy Herrera more aggressively, and he was nearly on Davis’ level—both were used for multiple innings on multiple occasions also. Neither team is perfectly analogous to what Francona is doing with Miller, though. (Which is exciting!)

These Indians relievers, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw, and Cody Allen, remind me of nothing so much as the turn-of-the-millennium Yankees, with Rivera-Wetteland and then Nelson-Stanton-Rivera.

If we assume Fox News broadly, and Wallace specifically, want the Republican party to do as well as possible now and in the future, doesn’t it make sense for Wallace to essentially put Trump down? The best—only?—way forward for “real conservatives” is to paint Trump as wholly aberrant. Fox News could start creating…

But the kid not only doesn’t have any say in the matter.

All that death—Why not choose cake instead?

My feeling is this: Avatar is the better executed show. It’s basic hero’s journey stuff, done (as close as you can get to) perfectly. Korra is a more ambitious show, I think, but basically always fails to successfully tackle the hefty narratives it lunges at. I love both, though--I couldn’t say which I prefer--and…

All the more reason not to Howl about it.

Start: The fans.

A historically accurate representation of Gothic battle dress:

There’s a one-man atmospheric black metal band called Eichenwald. No, I... I don’t know why I’m sharing this either.

But can she do it on a cold, rainy night at Stoke?

Pity they lost before most Americans remembered to pretend at being fans of the sport.

With whatever janky rims and courts happened to be in place ahead of time. If one goal is missing the backboard entirely, and the other’s rim is twisted 20-degrees off kilter, that changes strategy in interesting ways. And the three point line, of course, is that crack right there.

The implication, I *think*, is that everyone voting Dem is doing so in order to live a life of luxury on those vaunted government handouts. Nothing like the old welfare queen narrative to fire up a senile old prune.

Bayern and Juventus own their respective leagues, but even La Liga has 3 teams that might win the title next season. And then there’s the EPL, where everyone—but Spurs—can seemingly now win.

Messi might be the greatest player ever—if not, he’s certainly on the short list—and this still manages to be a profoundly irritating bit of bloated hagiography. So, y’know, congrats.

A few things.

What’s especially cool about that home run is that, unlike so many would-be great moments in sports, it led to a championship! Just think if such an event had been wasted on a team that didn’t even win the American League, much less the World Series.

Precisely. No penalties in the group stage!
