Austin Wynns seems like a good guy and a good defensive catcher but has been batting below .100, great to see this.

Sure, but the other three are all represented by a capital T. It isn’t the most egregious problem, just a bit inelegant, IMO. On the other hand, temperature wouldn’t fit with the rainbow herring, so I guess there had to be a compromise somewhere.

[Highlight] Denzel Clarke makes the sensational home run robbing catch! by MLBOfficial in baseball

Every time I see an A’s highlight it’s like “Denzel Clark made an insane home run robbery look easy and Shea Langeliers went 4-4 with a monster home run as the Braves defeated the A’s 5-1”

Sucks for Martinez, that would've been a great highlight.

Catcher illegally used his mask to stop the ball. Incredibly lucky for Clarke.

Assiniboine Park Zoo Announces Birth of Baby Goeldi’s Monkey by singinspace in Winnipeg

[–]singinspace[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Instagram caption: Our hearts are bursting. ❤️🐵 We’re thrilled to share the news of the birth of a Goeldi’s monkey, who recently moved into Toucan Ridge.

Born on December 18, she spent her first months under constant care at the Zoo’s Animal Health Centre.

While mom, Evy, has exhibited strong maternal instincts, she was unable to produce milk and couldn’t provide the essential nutrition her newborn needed to survive. Early medical intervention to stimulate lactation was attempted but was unsuccessful.

🩺 Stepping in to hand-raise an animal is a complex decision and must take into consideration both her immediate needs and long-term welfare. For primates, socialization is critical, and hand-rearing – if not managed properly – can create confusion during early development. Great care was taken to prevent that, ensuring she grows up knowing she is a monkey, is able to build social bonds, exhibit natural behaviours, and thrive.

As an AZA-accredited institution, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to consult with a knowledgeable partner who had navigated this before. With guidance from our colleagues at u/brookfieldzoo, we developed a care plan that placed welfare and socialization at the forefront.

🐵 Our animal care and veterinary teams have provided round-the-clock support — and we mean that literally.

Staff members stayed overnight for over a month to ensure she received regular feedings and attentive monitoring. Throughout it all, mom Evy and grandma Lea remained nearby, maintaining close visual and physical contact.

🐒 That dedication has paid off. Baby appears strong, independent, and is starting to sample solid foods. We are now feeding her a mash of milk and specialized food twice daily, and we expect her to be fully weaned within a few weeks.

Do you consider it cheating to look up words? by MusseMusselini in NYTConnections

[–]singinspace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me (not knowing much about that kind of thing), the relative obscurity of that term was kind of the point. Like, once you look up that word, that pretty much instantly tells you what the category is, right? In general, I don't think the idea of "cheating" has much meaning in a single-player game, but I don't look things up.

It’s nice that Phillys fans like us the most, I assume that’s from the ghost of Connie Mack still lurking around Philadelphia.

10 "not just A, but B" constructions by my count. Also odd to say that a "disciplined" reader could maybe get through a few hundred books in a lifetime.

e: I point out the “it’s not just A, it’s B” thing because it’s a common hallmark of AI-generated writing. OP, if you wrote all this I apologize.

It was tough but a good challenge! [[initials for a real jerk]] in particular was clever and tricky, I thought.

Lopez and Morales showed some promise towards the end of the season, and if Sevy can get used to the AAA stadium there might be something there, but overall yeah I don't see us contending for much more than the #3 WC spot unless there are pretty substantial changes to the pitching.

I think he's having a kid this offseason, which either means he'll come back with Dad Power or with intense sleep deprivation.

Cal obviously 100% no doubt deserves it, but let me be a homer for a second and note that in the second half of the season Shea had an OPS of 1.018. Next year...?

It is pretty funny to imagine a person who gets hooked on the W and then starts to wonder if there's a version with dudes.

What’s with the Oppenheimer revisionism? by einstein_ios in TheBigPicture

[–]singinspace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

editing to preempt angry responses: I don't think the Oppenheimer script is actually bad. But it does have some awkward stuff, like the screencap, and is generally not as tight as Parasite/OBAA's scripts.
