John Bellairs was easily the first writer who really freaked me out. And I loved it. The House With a Clock in Its Walls and the other Lewis Barnavelt novels were so good.

These golf clubs have been at the end of the neighbors' driveway all day. This feels like a weird one to just forget to put away, but I do dumb things too

Just saw the mail carrier delivering on our block. It's 7:30 p.m., not a Monday, not in December. Someone is likely having a Very Bad Day, and I can't believe this poor carrier wasn't given help to take some of their mail a long time ago. At least they're getting penalty time!

I just realized the wildcard series are on Peacock, one of the services we still pay for. Looking forward to watching the White Sox smash up the Astros and the Red Sox handle the Yankees. Anyway, here's how the Athletic ranks all the postseason teams. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Thank you and congratulations to Rick Rizzs for 41 seasons. I've never really known Mariners baseball with Rick (I am 47), and it's going to be weird without him in the booth. I hope he has a fantastic next chapter.

I am incensed. The Seattle Sports feed of the Mariners radio broadcast switched to Fox fucking News for the top of the 9th and many of us missed the last 3 outs of Rick Rizzs. This is unacceptable. @seattlesports710.bsky.social

Successful household experiment conducted. How does cat have uncanny ability to find rubber band daisy chains he loves, even when they're closed up and nkt visible, e.g. in shut drawers? Does he *smell* them? Baited small box he's never seen with some. Within 30 min. he had extracted the bait.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
