DONALDS1.BMF

A color portrait of Sam Donaldson, the long-running White House correspondent for ABC News. Altogether, Donaldson’s tenure with the network spanned over 40 years. Few realize that early in his career, Donaldson dabbled in parapsychological research on the side. In volume 1 of The Annals of Parapsychology (1974), one can find an abstract of Donaldson’s research, titled “The Potential of PK Experimentation During Spaceflight.”

SCULLY1.BMF

A portrait of John Sculley, former PepsiCo executive and from 1983 to 1993, the CEO of Apple. Lou distinctly remembers Sculley coming into the shop one day in 1993. He had a little black device with him he kept playing with while he waited for his order. Not a big tipper, Lou remembers.

VANILLA1.BMF

A color portrait of Robert Matthew Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, the American rapper whose hit “Ice Ice Baby” was EVERYWHERE in 1990. Phil absolutely loved the song and its clever sampling of Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure.” Phil would argue to whoever listened that “Ice Ice Baby” elevated the work of Mercury and Bowie, turning their little jingle into an epic song for the ages. Phil played the song constantly in his cubicle at Totem Graphics, much to the irritation of his coworkers. Vanilla Ice would eventually come to be seen as a one-hit novelty act, though Phil wouldn’t live to see that day.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

MAAS1.BMF

A color portrait of left-handed designated hitter Kevin Maas, who played for the New York Yankees. Maas’s rookie season in 1990 was remarkable. His home runs were so reliable that female groupies in the right field stands would remove their tops—jokingly called Maas tops by the media—whenever Maas hit a home run, dancing topless in the stands while Maas ran around the bases. Maas’s subsequent seasons were unremarkable and he left the major leagues in 1995. Maas is a divorced father of two now, working as a financial consultant at Charles Schwab.

I know the strategies involved. I know why we have bullpen games. But I find them to be an aesthetic nightmare and they can fuck all the way off.

If this is the last day of the Orioles' season, given that Sunday looks like a wash, it's a very Orioles day. Game 1: 10-2 win, slugged like crazy Game 2: (Not done, but) 13 strikeouts, 0-for-8 w/RISP, 9 stranded and two misplayed in right field

ROGERS1.BMF

A color portrait of beloved children’s television host Mr. Rogers, smiling and wearing one of his trademark cardigans. There was a thing Mr. Rogers used to say, Mattie remembers. “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” The words brought comfort to Mattie as a child. As an adult who knows a thing or two about people and how they help, she’s not so sure anymore.

MEDVD_M1.BMF

A color portrait of a Michael Medved, chief film critic of the New York Post in the 1990s. Shown here with bushy black hair and a thick mustache and horn-rimmed glasses, Medved was known at the time for his conservative critiques of Hollywood films, which he saw as a corrupting force on American society. Medved went so far in 1995 as to argue for a “slasher tax”—an additional fee added to the ticket price of violent and sexually explicit movies. “If pop culture consumers went to the local multiplex and noted a price difference between ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Hoop Dreams,’” Medved wrote in the LA Times on June 5, 1995, “a few might consider saving a few bucks and trying the less savage choice.” Father John doubts that movies—or comic books or video games or anything else humans make—do much to move the need on human brutality. It’s Satan and Satan alone, Father John tells himself, pouring a finger of scotch into his tumbler, hand shaking.

Pete Alonso on why he did this: "The people who have supported us, it’s not what they expected or wanted either. For people to still show up, come out to a doubleheader today, and really just show the true support, it’s special, and that should be recognized."
