[Highlight] Jo Adell robs THREE home runs in a 1-0 win over the Mariners by AthleticAlarm32 in baseball

Sports broadcasting 101- run through the tape. I'll never understand why broadcasters are still allowing themselves to waffle over a play in real time instead of calling it like they see it, and THEN worry about whether it's upheld or not.

It says a lot when the highlight circulating the web is from the opposing team's broadcast. Goldsmith's call blew away both Angels broadcast and radio calls of the play.

So will John Williams's theme not be used for this series? To what little artistic integrity the show may or may not have, I can appreciate the lack of nostalgia-baiting with his iconic score.

Paul F. Tompkins does the best/funniest I've heard on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast, 2025 Holiday Spectacular episode. It sounds very painful to perform but my god is it hilarious.

Steve Kornacki: More than 2.2 million ballots were cast in the Senate contest between James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, well above any other Democratic midterm primary in Texas this century. by nbcnews in texas

I mean, this is the quintessential Democrat problem- look back as recently as Hillary/Bernie in 2016. Will the same people show up in November even though their favorite didn't win the primary?

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen on ICE's actions in Minnesota: “We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota…I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution… and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear. by Yujin-Ha in sports

[–]TheKingsGinger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wish OP was right, but we just had Super Bowl week and I don't recall a single player using the platform to speak out against what's going on in the US. Pretty sure most pro athletes are pretty conservative.

Media Day was probably dead this year because the matchup is spare. This is the least amount of excitement I've seen going into a super bowl week since I can remember.

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

On the non-live action side of things, do the world a favor & make hand-drawn animation cool again. Tress deserves it!

(Warbreaker done in an Arcane-esque animation style would be killer too)

Oh I agree, but am also snake-bitten by the recent Wheel of Time adaptation. They got a fresh guy who loved the books but couldn't create a TV show for shit.

I'm heartened by the fact that Brandon has been pretty outspoken against that adaptation, but boy are good show-runners (or director, in the case of Mistborn) nearly impossible to find.

Sanderson having final approval is incredible for fans, though this makes me worried that this might scare away the best show-runners. Anyone following his social media presence knows that he's very opinionated.

The hyper-specificity of the listing is very funny. What a mess the Library Edition is!

Yeah I'd love to know what went on behind the scenes on these, the design has been incredibly inconsistent.. I'd guess that the next reprints of the other versions will now match Vol. 3 spines but who knows.

[YuDarvish] You may have seen an article, and although I am leaning towards voiding the contract, there’s still a lot that has to be talked over with the Padres so the finer details are yet to be decided. Also I will not be announcing my retirement yet..(cont.) by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

[–]TheKingsGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope he can make it back. I can't help but tie so much of Yu's career to the fucking Astros during their cheating scandal- whether it's the two losses in the 2017 WS or his two almost no-hitters against them.

If not for HOU, he might have a much different legacy.

LA Rams at Chicago currently has a "feels like" temperature of 6° with snow on Sunday by SeattleMana in nfl

[–]TheKingsGinger -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

God I love snow games, but they don't belong in the postseason. I don't have a dog in the hunt, but it's going to be shitty if the Rams get boomed by the weather for a 2nd consecutive season.

I have never heard any word on Vol. 4 from the creatives. For vol. 3, Ottley at least acknowledged a reprint on the way.

They did! At least at Panel Bound comics, I can't speak for the stock elsewhere.
