How many division championships does the Pope have

Wait, there's a WNBA player who's among the best ever and I've never even heard her name? I just assumed, based on how the news covers the WNBA, Caitlin Clark was winning all the awards every year.

A'ja Wilson wins her third straight WNBA MVP and record fifth overall

ESPN just ran a poll to see how many of its app users are Yankee fans. About what I expected, I'd say.

A poll regarding the Anthony Volpe fan interference double: 37% wrongly believe it should have been a home run

Reading through the receipt, I mumble, "like a little story of our transaction, eh?" Folding it in half, "it says your name Kayla. Thank you, Kayla, for this 'receipt'." Leaving, I remark in hushed, arch tone to another customer in line, "they have receipts."

Bitten by vibe coding: I was building out the skeleton of a UI with Claude Code. It all looked good, until I clicked the url in the "Website" column. Instead of rendering the "website" value as a link, it had just styled the text blue with an underline.

I'm the person in charge of scheduling the postseason. You can't start one at 12:00 p.m. ET (there has never been a day game in baseball), so I start the first one at 4:00 p.m. then start a new one every two hours. That way, nobody can watch a full game, and they all overlap. Everyone loves it.

I'm taking "never forget" pretty loosely here, I don't think I could describe anything about Siddhartha or Strange & Norrell other than the fact that they effected at 14 or so when I read them

The Boy's King Arthur
The Lord of the Rings
Siddhartha
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Orthodoxy
A Shorter Summa
Fifth Head of Cerberus
Pride and Prejudice

One of the coolest-feeling things I did when I was young was getting somewhere early on a summer evening, popping the back hatch of my Escape, and reading a book in the back.

There's got to be a word for the style of writing where the author is just going off about some theory of the world he probably barely believes himself, but it's fun to write. Bloviate is probably too perjorative. "Blarney" might be closer

Biggest takeaway from this book is how easy it was to raise armies "What did you do with your last set of Sottish pikemen?" Oh, I got 4,000 massacred when I decided to fight a battle in a bog. "Cool, sign me up!"

This is just what it feels like to follow the news too closely

I wish the country and the people were plunged deep in the sea, because of their lack of stability, for I feel like one going to the torture when I write about them, and no one ever hears twice alike about English affairs," wrote Ambassador Bettini in a letter home to Milan.

I can barely find any pictures of Tolkien wearing glasses. The guy survived mustard gas in the trenches, lived into his 80s, and spent his whole life reading old documents in dingy Oxford rooms, and his vision is better than mine was in second grade

I would have tried to prune this sentence a bit, I think

And things were no better at home, where his brother George, archbishop of York's ejection from the office of chancellor—an event buried beneath the blaze of the Bastard of Burgundy's visit-meant that the family had been removed from their central position in the administration of domestic government, too.

This explains exactly what I find either interesting or annoying about modern art, depending on how well it's pulled off. I've never quite had the words to express it, but this perfect.

Let me add this. You know how a puppy, when you point off in one direction for him, looks at you hand. It is hard to train him not to. The modernist arts in this century have gone to a great deal of trouble to untrain us readers, to force us to look at the hand. Contemporary modernist fine prose says, Look at my hand. Plain prose says, Look over there.
