Barn Owls! in Manhattan! 🦉🌃 This week, a family of Barn Owls was discovered on a water tower in NYC. Two adults and five young ones have been observed/confirmed so far! 10.9.2026, NYC Photos taken at night, using long exposure and ambient light - it is actually VERY dark up there! #birds

Close up of the top of a wooden water tower at night, with part of a brick and stone building and out of focus light green foliage in the foreground at the right of frame. On the very top of the water tower, a Barn Owl is perched. Another Barn owl is just below/ to the right, and a third one at the bottom of the slope of the tower’s roof, to the far right. A closer look reveals two more Barn Owls peering through a hole in the roof, facing the camera

Close up of the same water tower; three Barn Owls are visible on and near the very top of the tower

Closer crop of the top of the water tower - one Barn Owl is perched on the front/left slope, blending in very well with the rust-brown of the roof. Two other owls are peering out of the hole; one owl still has downy baby feathers at the top of their head

One of my top five all-timers I saw at Busch was Game 4 of the '96 NLCS. So exciting. And then we got absolutely destroyed in Games 5-7 Lol. www.livebaseballscorecards.com/1996-10-13-A...

😂 good luck! Upper deck behind home plate. We sat down in late May or early June that season together and did the math on when he'd approach the record. We bought cheap tickets for five games in early September. We nailed it. Also hope your fever breaks and you feel better soon.

Nice! I was at Busch with three friends the night he hit 62. Some of the most insane baseball energy I've ever been a part of.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

Why not? It doesn't hurt to root for different teams in October. It's just great baseball and we're celebrating it. We can still retain our fandoms. It's not cheating.

The Spanish call of Jose Ramirez's 2-run home run by Rafa Hernández-Brito in the decisive Game 5 of the ALDS. It ended up being the shot that sent them to the ALCS against Tampa Bay.

A good argument could be made that the four teams still alive in the postseason possess MLB’s best analytic departments.

Let’s just remember that José Ramírez used to wear a necklace of his own photo. That’s Dave Parker-levels of chill, rarely reached
