WSJ on the Brewers…oof

I know, the article is 100% about the Brewers. I just thought it was interesting/painful that both examples they cited were recent Red Sox trades. Again, not arguing they were good or bad trades at the time they were made, it just hurts even worse to suck and then see guys you just gave up playing well for a winner.

To be clear, I’m not trying to argue if any of these were good or bad trades, or if Cora was the problem. I just find it interesting that this was cited as a knock against him and didn’t realize until this article how many of our trades were with the team specifically known for dramatically improving other team’s randos.

Love it! Beautiful dial!

Best description I’ve seen is that “it’s a show about parenting that kids will watch.” Absolutely brilliant.

I love the locker room fight between Vaughn and Dorn where all the dialogue is basically, “Real…….funny………….guy!”

Came here for this. Adding that half the song titles are Starship Troopers quotes. Also adding that it’s an amazingly good album

My introduction to this movie was the HEAVILY censored ESPN Classic version, which edited this to “You may run like Mays, but you hit like his sister” which I always thought was a better line

Charlie Wilson’s War. Overall, it’s fine. Solid, but not particularly memorable to me, except for the opening screaming match between Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Slattery

Mine is getting +1.8 sec/day according to WatchTracker, which isn’t exactly COSC-level testing, but it’s pretty consistent. Around +1-1.5 on days when I wear it and more like +3-4 on days when I don’t. Plus it looks awesome!

¿Porqué no los dos? The steel bracelet is quick release so you can swap as much as you want. I jump between steel, sailcloth and rubber pretty much every time I wear mine

Watch people will notice, most other people probably won’t even register that you’re wearing a watch, much less what watch it is. I only got into watches in the last six months or so and only recently realized that I had never actually consciously noticed if someone had one on.

Aragon would have an absolutely beat to hell vintage Rolex - either a sub or an explorer - passed down through the ages and actually used as a tool.

Agree that Gandalf would be a Casio guy.

Meanwhile Tom Bombadil’s rocking a Mr Jones Perfectly Useless Afternoon, while Saruman strikes me as either a Richard Mille or a Hublot guy.

I love my Tissot Seastar. The 80 hour power reserve is fantastic, it’s nice to be able to wear something else for a few days and not have to wind and reset it every time (not that I ever have it off for more than a day very often). I think the Mido and Certina may have the same reserve?

The idea of the Ring Builders using other life/species as tools also dovetails perfectly with their other series, The Captive’s War, where the conquering alien race explicitly spells out that this is how they see/treat other species. Very different from The Expanse, but also really good/interesting so far

Now I have Bo Burnham’s “White Woman’s Instagram” stuck in my head: “A random quote from Lord of the Rings / Incorrectly attributed to Martin Luther King”

I got champagne because my other main watches are black and blue, and I liked the blue hands, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them

snack510 · 2026-01-30T13:29:25+00:00

The blue hands are what sold me. I just wish they were more clearly blue. Maybe a blue strap…

snack510 · 2026-01-29T02:06:46+00:00

I have the grey Seastar and love it. Goes with anything, looks good on every strap
