iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

According to everything I’ve been able to find, the law at issue applies to what are considered *private* conversations. Rather than, say, a press gaggle where you would like to veto one particular reporter. I would stand to be corrected by actual Maryland attorneys.

I think there’s a place for him when he’s being a big goofball. But when he tries to become serious, never more disastrously than in that horrible movie, it is shockingly off-putting.

So excited and honored to be the guest on the latest episode of Sleeping With Celebrities, as the wonderful @johnmoe.bsky.social and I drone on about the history of the Tiny Desk, with an emphasis on the doodads and tchotchkes that line the shelves. Sweet dreams, friends!

They are stuck in a bunch of contracts that seemed like they were not terrible ideas as recently as last year. Or earlier this year. That now feel burdensome and impossible to navigate around. They are a team capable of looking invincible that probably is stuck rebuilding for ... five years?

In the case of Mattingly, I think the answer is depressingly simple: Nobody knows what to do next.

When I am deep in mental health ick, that actually IS the breakfast that means I’m coming around!

We are going to see somebody on Thursday who I hope will help us develop a plan.

Oh, that feeling when a vet mentions a treadmill as the kind of thing that might help your mysteriously limping dog (don’t worry, there’s a plan and a whole thing, this wasn’t the whole conversation) and you think … “He is too stubborn to go outside in the rain, but … maybe!”

Indeed. What they called “Blue skies.”

Yes, I want to watch that one next because I know how much you love it

True! It has a bit of “this is too many murders for Cabot Cove, Maine.”

060

Yes, I was pretty sure that was who that was but I didn’t look it up (I have not really watched Doc Martin).

Okay, but when Hermione Gingold goes “…as cold as steel HEE-AH!”, that is justification enough.

But then he learns to appreciate the Running With Scissors Festival and he helps them do it more safely.

It is a US adaptation of it, yes.

A blunt yet brilliant surgeon becomes the general practitioner in a quaint fishing village.

You know how sometimes you just want a little show? “I had a long day and I really just want to watch my little show”? It’s nice to have a little show again.

I sometimes find bullpen guys a *little* over the top when they come in and get one person out and act like they single-handedly saved Earth, but I find I do not mind at all when Uribe does it. (As long as he doesn’t do anything to get fined over.)

I’m so sorry, Meghan. It really is a unique ache.

Took me three tries to not refer, in some notes, to the book "Lord of the Files." A very boring book indeed.

I like to think this reflects his good sense and also the fact that even when he was playing travel ball and stuff, he was not encouraged to make that his whole life.

One of my nephews actually got recruited by some colleges when he was done with high school, but he decided that baseball was unlikely to be his future, so he prioritized the school itself, and there, he played college club ball and had a very distinguished club ball career.

When I was a kid, I played softball at the Brandywine Youth Club. It still exists, I recently determined, but I wondered how many places like it — organized but genuinely recreational sports for kids with lots of ability levels — do not anymore.

This is very optimistic! But they do look terrific right now.

I would. But two teams who have never won would be special.

That’s why I like it! The argument for a salary cap is basically garbage!

Really enjoying the possibility of my hoped-for Brewers/Rays World Series. Come on, small markets! Do iiiiiiiit!

It’s hard to do, this kind of biography that doesn’t get too weighed down by every biographical detail in linear order but instead uses the artist’s work to structure the story of who he was. But it works really well here, and I hope you’ll read the book.

And while some of the creatives who offer thoughts in the book are ones you might expect, like Guillermo del Toro, some are unexpected, like Rob Mac. It’s a really compassionate and thorough piece of work for Serling-heads, but it also sort of explains the man to people who are less familiar.

I know you expect me to say this because Alan and I are friends, but the thing is: Like Glen Weldon’s books about superheroes, this book about Serling is both a thoughtful examination of what it’s about and a broader look at other things—here history, television, creativity and commercial pressure.

The Brewers did some of what the Dodgers did to Miz last night, it seemed like: If you aren’t going to get a hit, at least take a bunch of pitches.

I have suspected the reasons he’s invited to host so frequently *also* have to do with resentment/spite, which is like … a recipe for a great time for everyone!

It really doesn’t look like a dance at all at this point! Just a gesture.
