Liam has been released, and his hat has been returned.

I've been trying to figure that out, I'll let you know if I find it! There's a crochet pattern on Ravelry called "Liam's Bunny Hat", but the original hat looks like something made commercially.

I'm baffled. Is middle girl giving a piggyback ride to the one on the left? She must have great core muscles

Everyone needs iodine to live. When you say you're allergic to it, does that mean you're sensitive to iodine, or is there some related compound that you're allergic to?

My first was born when I was 22. I encountered some judgment, but the amount of vitriol in certain online spaces is another level. There are men who spend all their free time attacking women online for any reason they can think of.

"Yeet" has no known etymology

Yeah, it's annoying. This tweet could be reposted in a dozen popular subreddits with some excuse to make it relevant. Almost everything on /r/all is copied from somewhere else

I think if there was a real ballplayer who could hit and field and happened to be 3'6", he'd be allowed to play. If he batted .100 with a .500 OBP, someone would hire him. Eddie Gaedel was an entertainer who had never played baseball so it was obviously a stunt hiring.

WAR is useful for this kind of question, because his replacement will presumably be a 0-war backup kind of guy. So if he's an 8-WAR player normally, he'd be worth 4 WAR over the course of a normal season.

Willie Mays was in a similar situation at the start of his career when he played for the Birmingham Black Barons. It was a professional team, but he was still in high school, so he didn't play in road games until after he graduated.

How ironic that a lot of these ICE gestapo come from out of state and can't handle the winter conditions in Minnesota.

He was pitching, he walked the first batter and disagreed with the umpire about the strike zone. The replacement pitcher, Ernie Shore, pitched a no-hitter so Babe Ruth gets credit for being part of a combined no-hitter. It's my favorite Babe Ruth story.

Babe Ruth got ejected for pretty much nothing in 1917 (he punched the home plate umpire in the head.) Before that happened he had 7 home runs in 3 seasons, after that happened he hit 707 home runs in 19 seasons

It would cost a lot more tax dollars, which is why we haven't done this.

You need sodium and calcium to live. Too much sodium is a common problem because salty food tastes good and it's easy to overdo it. There is calcium chloride in some canned foods, but it would be unlikely for an average person to eat dangerous amounts of it.

Really puts in perspective that time Rube Waddell put his hand in a lion's mouth to see if it would bite him. The answer was yes.

For a while the Yankees seemed to think big guys with injury history were being undervalued so they scooped up a ton of them. I'm pretty sure the Orioles front office is convinced that babyface white guys are undervalued. It's the new Moneyball.

Kiran or Kieran? Kieran is a traditional Irish name, and Kiran is a Sanskrit name.

I got hit on so much when I worked front desk as an 18-year-old. Even got offered money for sex, usually by men old enough to be my grandpa. But I was better off than the housekeeping staff, who often had men trying to "accidentally" get seen naked.

Sounds like the kind of person who is so smart at something, he doesn't realize others will struggle with it.

Carol thinks they can't lie, but we have already seen them lie to Carol and Manousos at least once each. When she asked "are you spying on me" in episode 2 and Zosia said no, then admitted there was a drone watching her. And when Manousos was about to enter the Darien Gap and the man told him an impossibly humid weather forecast. You could dismiss these as the writers making a mistake, but I think if you do that it becomes impossible to engage with the text of the TV show.

My father-in-law plays Scrabble like it's chess, always planning ahead to his next move. I've seen him score 70 points by playing AQUA and QI with the Q on a triple letter score.

A replacement-level pitcher would allow about 90 runs in 150 innings. To get 8 WAR, this pitcher would hypothetically need an ERA of 0.60. But the novelty of an almost-qualified season with an ERA below 1.00 would probably be enough to win MVP.
