Watching soccer on Telemundo is even more fun when you picture the announcer is yelling “GHOOOOOOOOOOOOUL” and you can picture something undead chasing him. #fifa

On Saturday, I read the Rascal article about Yazeba and the challenges to getting a 2nd printing and thought about everything you laid out here. Everyone’s entitled to ask for what they want but the assumed economics to support those asks didn’t seem grounded in reality.

Watching some Olympics figure skating and feel like the only commentary should be “they’re really good. Like, really really good.” Then, just some “yeah, I agree.” Otherwise, just let the skaters cook.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I see your point for that first wave of sales, but don’t the games that have staying power - continued sales over time - generally rely on players having fun at the table?

Amazing you broke through tbh. Once I got handed off to Marriott’s “Elite rep” line and sat on hold another 20 minutes, I went into self-serve mode with Booking.com. I’m now taking a train in from the burbs, but was able to preserve precious game buying budget.

I’m in the same boat, including calling the “we don’t monitor this line” number. I also tried going to the Sonder app and it just redirects to Marriott. Sounds like a bad business breakup and we’re the shucks caught in the middle.

Years ago flying from New York to L.A. at night, I was half-asleep watching The Lake House (Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock) without sound, listening to chill music. I still couldn't tell you what it's about but it had a magic mailbox, time-travel letters to each other and a cute dog. Five star flight
