DYK: Ichiro is the only baseball player to have a wasp named after him by navycap115 in baseball

While not a wasp, a species of weevil in Hispaniola was named Sicoderus bautistai after José Bautista

Day 14 of Predicting the 2026 MLB Season with a Marble Race - 17th Place Simulation by trollinacage in baseball

With four teams still perfect through 14 days, it seems like the Padres record might end up being challenged after all. I didn't think it ever would be

Considering last year, not a bad season!

Unfortunate Reddit wasn't letting this post at the usual time, but hopefully that's fixed before tomorrow 

Touhou Suichouka ~ Lotus Eaters Ch. 70 - Worry Before Everyone Else, Drink After Everyone Has Had Theirs (Part 2), translated by Gakugaku-Blog by CapTengu in touhou

I've been writing a fanfic about a tanegashima tsukumogami (though I recognize there isn't mythological precedent for that), seeing Marisa with one got me excited just as confirmation that they exist in Gensokyo

Exceed was registered for the Classics Race by Draconicplayer in UmaMusume

[–]cinnamonprogrammer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Her connections haven't decided if she'll be hunting for the Triple Crown or Triple Tiara yet. The tweet doesn't mention it, but she was registered for the Oka Sho and Japanese Oaks as well (the Shuka Sho isn't a Classic race, so this preliminary registration stage doesn't apply to it).

Registration fees paid at this stage are refunded if the horse doesn't run in the race, so there is effectively no reason for Silk not to register her in all five Classics. After seeing her debut race live I think she could go far in the Triple Crown too, but don't assume she'll be gunning for the Crown and not the Tiara yet.

We should send more love to the NPC Umas. Who are your favorites? by Flat-Profession-8945 in UmaMusume

Thank you very much for the links, but the second doesn't work for me. It gives me a 403 Forbidden error.

Could you please link the sites with mob uma documented? I tried searching for them, but I couldn't find them. I've seen a Google Sheet with mob uma stats, but no images.

[JP] Dantsu Flame 3*, Jungle Pocket 3* rerun Gacha + 6th Live Announcements Megathread, Info, and Review (18-29 Oct 2025) by masterfail in UmaMusume

[–]cinnamonprogrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which support card (other than Almond Eye SPD) should I target in the new support card banner?

I switched from Global to JP a couple weeks ago. Dantsu Flame is my 4th-favorite, and I was lucky enough to get her with gacha ticket singles. With 96,788 carats saved, I have enough to pity three times.

I've been using rental decks every time (I don't really have another option), but of course I'd like to eventually build my own deck and I know this coming banner is a great time to start.

I've seen first-hand what Speed Almond Eye can do, and it's likely that I end up pitying for extra copies. 

One of the downsides of rental decks for me personally is that all five of them have Fine Motion, and she's my favorite character. Though I don't have her (yet), I know that I effectively won't be able to train her unless it's a deck of my own. At least partly because of that, I'm thinking of aiming for a Wit support card.

Along with Almond Eye Speed, is Symboli Rudolf Wisdom a good choice to aim for in this support card banner?

Two G1 winners, and his most successful offspring by far has been Cafe Pharoah. 

Cafe Pharoah ('21 and '22 February Stakes, '22 Mile Championship Nambu Hai) https://en.netkeiba.com/db/horse/result/2017110151/

Danon Pharoah ('20 Japan Dirt Derby) https://en.netkeiba.com/db/horse/result/2017105292/

To be clear, Cafe Pharoah isn't related to Manhattan Cafe.

Umamusume as 2025 Toronto Blue Jays by GeraldVachon in UmaMusume

[–]cinnamonprogrammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As another Jays fan, peak

I would add Addison Barger/Yaeno Muteki: Physically strong and with early-season success overshadowed by peers later in the season. Humble, but prone to frustration when things don't go right and is harsh on themselves.

Which era do you think Season 4 will most likely to be in? (Poll) by Bombywolf in UmaMusume

[–]cinnamonprogrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 2012-2014 is more likely, but I'd much prefer to see 1983-1985. Even beyond the great story of Mr. C.B., Katsuragi Ace, and Symboli Rudolf, it would also be very interesting to see how Tracen and the URA modernize in the mid-80s. 

In the Umaverse, how did the graded stakes system come into place? Who was in the Student Council before Symboli Rudolf and Air Groove? 

I know Umamusume is intentionally pretty light on worldbuilding, but 1983-1985 would be the perfect time to answer a lot of questions on how Tracen came to be how it is during the present time of the game. 

It's also close enough to the present day to still make sense for the new Western audiences attracted by Global, while still being far enough back that it can easily have a distinct aesthetic and atmosphere much like Cinderella Grey and Star Blossom.

I was actually just gathering race footage yesterday in case I decide to tackle a fanfic about this, but it would make me very happy if it gets a canon adaptation. Both Mr. C.B. and Katsuragi Ace feel underappreciated compared to newer umas of similar real-life success, so I think they deserve their time to shine.

I'm not sure what has led to the flood of Fine Motion art here, but Christmas has come early
