The year is 2050. Manager Miguel Rojas has the Dodgers in position to win their 27th straight World Series championship. Kaj Betts is tracking toward MVP honors. They acquire C Ben Rortvedt at the deadline.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

So you know how heartbreaking it was for the Blue Jays to lose in 7 games after not winning a title in 30 years? That was the Dodgers in 2017. Now imagine the Blue Jays and their fans finding out in three years the Dodgers cheated throughout this 2025 World Series like the Astros did in 2017.

If Muncy hits another timely homer I think he has a good argument, but it’s really felt like a team effort.

I follow enough Dodger fans to know they have cute little nicknames for their players. 90% of the time I don't know who they mean. But I do know when they talk about a Bad Bitch it is Yamamoto and it is so true.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

It's even worse than that. Many large venues require a cut of merch sales. So you don't even make all of that money in addition to no longer getting a decent living from CD sales.

Joe Davis just asked Orel Hershiser if he believes in the theory that all possible outcomes are happening somewhere in the universe and then began explaining it to him. Then Bogaerts beat out an infield hit and Hershiser said “on another planet he’s out.” They sound so stoned.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Worf, a battle hardened Klingon warrior and decorated Starfleet officer bestowed with great honour and respect, stands on a baseball field. He's at 1st base, it's important to know, you gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw. He's wearing a white pinstripes baseball uniform with red sleeves and red belt. The baseball uniform logo reads "Niners" across his burly Klingon chestal region. He's also wearing an adorable hat displaying a baseball next to a Deep Space 9 station logo. Closed caption reads, "Death to the opposition."

The character is introduced in Letterkenny, but there’s not exactly backstory. If you intend to watch both, may as well watch in order, but doesn’t matter much.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

You know when you walk by a Golden Retriever and it looks at you with an expression that's like "hell yeah man we're on the sidewalk, how sick is that." I feel like that is broadly Pete Alonso's approach to being a Met, and that is the biggest part of why I'm glad he's back with the team.
