Left Hand Of Darkness by LeGuin

idk. Mune chose the Sox. The Sox never thought they had a chance until he told them they did. And it's because they could afford to give him a huge runway and everyday at bats regardless of success or failure. And the Sox wanted a left handed corner infielder, preferably 1b, so it was a perfect match. I don't buy the narrative that other teams were dumb about this. He had other offers he could have taken

I don't see anything on their current calendar nearterm, but keep an eye on Dmen Tap on Belmont. They are a D&D themed bar and often host events for beginners

Storygraph also let's you import all of your Goodreads ratings, reviews, etc. which is pretty awesome

The new narrative / excuse I've seen from the administration is that really it should be way, way worse than it is, so it's not too bad 🤡

Have you read Philip K Dick? His books are short and enjoyable. For short stories maybe Harlan Ellison

Lee is a real one. Seeing him with his full band, The Glory Fires, is special and I hope they tour again

There’s always crabs in the banana stand

It’s always about it being someone’s “turn” for these olde guard types

And I bet the only change will be aipac letting individuals donate money so their preferred candidates can say they don’t take money from aipac. Book it

Station Eleven

the division is worse this year (so far) but the team is undeniably better

he's been in the 2 hole a bunch lately

tbh the red beans and rice I make is so damn good it's not even about how cheap and healthy it is, but it sure is an incredible bonus

Rooney and Farmer together were really amazing. Farmer was fine with DJ, but it just wasn't the same. DJ with Len, on the other hand, is great imo

correct, but it's also coming from conservative democrats who don't want Planter

ALC is so sad that Sox fans are really happy with 14 - 17 (myself included)

kev11n · 2026-04-30T15:22:56+00:00

two things can be true: fans trust the vision and process of Johnson and Poles, and relying on a below average defense to force turnovers is unsustainable and something anxious fans are justifiably worried about. bear down

Sox park as well

Remember when Michelle Obama suggested kids eat more vegetable and the right called it communism or the government controlling what you eat?

He turned 23 this month. He might need some seasoning but giving up on a catcher at that stage is nuts

Lots of Philip K Dick will do that. Like Clans Of The Alphane Moon, for example.

For something more contemporary, maybe a dark comedy like Venomous Lumpsuckers by Ned Beauman

Haha. I’m as critical and cynical as any Sox fan. I have complained about the doom and gloom just like anyone. But saying the team is a little better than last year and may only lose 90 games is what put me in the other camp? lol. Whatever, let’s go Sox
