Everyone is awful and we banked.

“Dress for the throne. Dance for the planet”

The Living Coronation

An exiled alien duchess (Audrey Hepburn) arrives on Earth to stage her species’ coronation, but its ceremonial costumes are living organisms that must be trained through dance. A bankrupt terrestrial pageant impresario (Dabney Coleman) hides the invasion inside a televised civic festival, while a rhythm-chemist (Will.i.am) composes beats that keep the garments obedient. A rebellious junior tailor (Alyson Hannigan) discovers the costumes are choosing their wearer—and leads a glittering procession that turns royal succession into a public extraterrestrial revolt.

you’re gawtdamnright my Jim Henson-helmed puppet political revenge thriller would do boffo box office @tentpolegame.com

In Washington, the best liar is the one you built yourself.

THE STAND-IN: A REPUBLIC OF WAX Dir. Jim Henson (PG-13)

A disgraced former Defense Secretary (Harrison Ford) returns to destroy the administration that framed him — using hand-built, unnervingly lifelike puppet replicas of the powerful (Jim Henson's Creature Shop, realized in full animatronic scale on screen). An obsessive speechwriter (Anthony Michael Hall) becomes his unwitting ghostwriter of ruin. A syndicated columnist (Keira Knightley) smells the seams. And the ailing President (Charlton Heston) must publicly debate a counterfeit of himself before both collapse.

erday is the only place left to save
REWIND Directed by Christopher Nolan (PG)

The city's oldest hero, voiced by Adam Sandler, works small jobs on the night desk — until a weary dispatcher, voiced by Julia Stiles, sends him to a rooftop where his old partner, voiced by Robert Downey Jr., arrives knowing how the fight ends. Together they hunt a villain, voiced by Anne Hathaway, who cuts the city's past out of existence, frame by frame — only a man who remembers everything can stop a woman who makes it never have happened.

Catcher Carlos Narváez has a -0.5 WAR this season in 171 at bats (cool .187 batting average tho. Way to not back the blue Carlos)

Matsataka Yoshida is positively crushing the ball compared to Narváez with 0.5 batting WAR in 227 AB.

just the five losses and five draws as we hit 87 points, including five and eight win streaks

doubt anyone who follows me doesn’t understand how massive a role @fbref.com (and @baseball-reference.com ) played in my life but there is no other source I have cited more frequently across the decade+ that I regularly wrote about fantasy sports.

At Sports Reference we have taken great pride in the role FBref has played over the last seven years as an expansive source for soccer fans all over the world. Unfortunately, last week the provider of our advanced soccer data sent us a letter terminating our access to their data feeds and requiring the deletion of their data from the site immediately. As a result, we have removed the provider's data from FBref and Stathead in compliance with their demand.

The data provider has asserted that our use of the data violated our agreement. Their demand came unexpectedly despite our long-standing and good-faith operation of FBref and Stathead. We have operated the sites in a consistent manner from their creation (well before the signing of this agreement) through today, and we have always welcomed open and frank discussions about how the sites operate.

Any effort to retain access to this advanced data would have been costly and uncertain. Under the circumstances, we have decided to comply with the termination notice.

This creates a significant gap in the stats offered on FBref and Stathead. We are heartbroken both for our users who have come to rely upon this product and for our team that has spent thousands of hours bringing these stats to life and supporting our users. We are especially upset by the massive step back this creates in access for women's advanced soccer data. Data Democratization is a core Sports Reference value and the removal of this data is a sad day for all of us.

We will take time to assess possible paths forward. FBref will continue to present the deep historic basic data we have for over one hundred competitions, but if we present advanced data in the future it will certainly have a dramatically smaller scale.

Google “Tottenhams best player”
AI Overview “The "best" player for the San Antonio Spurs depends on if you mean all-time or currently, but Tim Duncan is widely considered the greatest ever, leading the franchise in points and championships, while Victor Wembanyama is the current franchise cornerstone and future superstar, leading the team in scoring and blocks this season (2025-26).”
