I imagine the Marlins are trying to figure a Stanton-Judge trade that will also rid them of Stanton’s contract in its entirety. Much as I dislike the Yankees, I can’t see them falling for this.

“Post” is a newspaper name that goes back centuries. You evidently have not been informed of this, but human history did not begin with the internet. And this is still not ironic. I recommend a dictionary — perhaps one that’s printed. An online-only movie might be ironic in this context, except that The Washington…

If your ethics and morality depend upon the other guy doing the right thing first, then you have neither ethics nor morality.

Perhaps if the Olympics took the same stance with Trump that the ancient Olympics did with Rome’s Emperor Nero: give him the gold medal for every event he enters, and to be safe, give him the gold medal for every event he doesn’t enter, too.

I actually liked Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter quite a bit more.

(never mind the irony of calling a paean to print journalism The Post)

Another counter-example for the correct usage might be reminding someone that they’d never (we hope) say, “I feel goodly.”

You’d be okay with “There goes the Judge?”

San Diego’s cunning plan at last bears fruit!

I’ve never understood the concept that nothing major can get done until the big flashy deals are made or abandoned. There’s some unwritten rule that — for example — the Mets couldn’t trade Syndergaard to the Yankees for Judge (and yes, I intentionally chose a not-in-this-world example) because Stanton is not yet a…

That’s a good point. There is actually a hill in Rome — Monte Testaccio — that is not really a hill, but simply a rubbish heap of some 50+ million ceramic amphorae that originally contained olive oil. It’s some 115 ft/35 meters high and was probably once taller, the contents appearing shorter due to settling.

One contextual thought that is likely irrelevant to most people: what we call china is pottery. It’s one of the most permanent things human beings have ever created, and if cared for, will outlast you, your family, your nation, the civilization you live in. By thousands of years. You might want to think about that…

Beautifully said. Thank you.

The wonderful thing about a “generation” is that twins born two minutes apart on either side of the New Year can technically be in different generations, should that be where somebody drew the line.

I’ve always thought that a “generation” is the worst way of measuring time’s passage ever. It seems to imply that everybody has their kids at the same age, at the same time, and then we all sit around and do nothing while waiting for the kids to grow up and rinse and repeat. I can see that it would work for the Horta…

Exactly. It’s going to be like the hundreds of thousands of people who were at Woodstock or fought in Vietnam who couldn’t find either place with a fistful of maps.

I’m holding out for Titanic II: Captain Smith’s Revenge.

Were those adult miners or minor miners?
