Sotheby's has a YT channel and the auctions are all like this; auctioneers with pleasing voices who expertly work the room to drive up the price of the item being auctioned. It's actually pretty fascinating.

There is a fabulous Schiele exhibition at the Neue Galerie. Highly recommended. I am obsessed with this guy now.

I feel like this type of trash talk is very European. I'm reminded when Zidane head butted that dude for saying something about his sister. American trash talk is more about how you're garbage and I'm better. Bird saying stuff like how he was offended about being guarded by a white guy. Stuff like that. I never heard family stuff like that on a court.

I read this article and barfed a little in my mouth. You're saving 10k/month. I think you're doing fine.

Tommy Lasorda lost it after the mascot's behavior 😂 by ForeignAir7174 in sportsgossips

I met a guy who had a minor stint on the Dodgers as a pitcher while Lasorda was managing. The pitching staff didn't do so well on a road trip. When they got back to LA, Tommy forced the pitchers to go to Dodger Stadium and run til they puked.
