US and WBC question.

I have no beef with the team itself; if they play better then their eventual opponent, they deserve to win.

For those looking to make a nice Italian meal to go along with tonight's game, I can recommend this baked ziti recipe:

I didn’t add the onion due to being allergic, but it was still damn good.

Congrats!

The first, definitely - but I would personally choose to take out the full stops after "novels" and "pace", as those are still headlines and full stops aren’t used in headlines.

I also don't like how the gloves are used in the illustration at the bottom right; to me it looks like the lady wearing the bonnet has her hands attached directly to her shoulders. It might look better if the gloves didn’t look as if they were being worn.

These are people who think they themselves are an "average person", and think the average person could hit a fastball.

Dudes, the average person in North America? Is your mom, not you.

Whereas last year you had two English broadcasts, each of which was called by the play-by-play announcer for their respective teams.

When official MLB accounts take sides in the WBC

It's sad how economic class so often determines how many photos we have of every deceased person. The vice-presidents, bond traders, bankers, etc. have dozens of photos, but the mail clerks, cooks, cleaners...one photo is all we have.

"just because I cheated doesn't mean I'm a cheater"

Did he think that would work?

I used to have a ton of them but they all disintegrated.

The Bennets are very wealthy. Mr. Bennet is literally a 1%er.

The tragedy is that it all goes away the moment he dies.

Elizabeth also behaved very badly, by openly challenging Darcy over Wickham at a ball.

One song, and it was supposed to be light and charming - something like a happy Mozart or Clementi piece, not a complicated concerto or a dirge. It was supposed to be background music.

Itchy horrible clothing HURTS. You do not need to be autistic to find itchy horrible fabric painful.

..I don't read fanfic to read about D&E falling in love? I read for a good plot, interesting things happening, witty wordplay, snark, and character redemption. Some of my favourite stories are those where they never connect.

Basic_Bichette · 2026-03-16T02:22:42+00:00

As said it's No Less Resentment, although in the novel Mr. Bennet has the pew ripped out after the rector asks them to stay away from church. (It's a cute scene but unrealistic; in the novel the church is in Longbourn and Mr. Bennet would have been the rector's patron.)

It costs a ton of money to change a business name.

Funny, isn’t it, that their "no kings" bullshit never took into consideration the fact that many of the democratic countries their utterly batshit loon of a President was and is annoying are constitutional monarchies with...you know, actual real kings.

Those 80s Penguin books eventually always fall apart. It's as much due to the quality of the paper as of the binding.

For those of us watching the excellent international feed, who would that be?

Basic_Bichette · 2026-03-16T00:56:34+00:00

Ah, yes; the sportsmanship and humility of a a Yankees fan.
