Los Angeles Angels, Orange County lose 100 games for the first time ever, and it’s still only the 2nd most embarrassing thing Kurt Suzuki’s done in public.

on a more fun note, heres my 9 games thing
my 9 games:

Tomba - the citizen kane of video games
Commander Keen - maybe my first game i beat all the way through, obsessed with it
Final Fantasy VII -  a little cliche, but no small part of the reason im an environmentalist
Bastion - ultimate combination of story and gameplay, the precursor to Hades
Fez - i did not know video games could do the things it did
Celeste - fantastically difficult platformer that i think about regularly
Binding of Isaac - i've spent 500 hours in this game, cant leave it off
Baba is You - i love this puzzler so much, i've played through it 9 times
Rogue Legacy - will always have a soft spot for it

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Are World Baseball Classic Players Actually Underperforming in 2026?
As we near the end of the regular season, let’s test the theory that competing in the WBC negatively impacts player performance in the corresponding campaign.

squidward meme saying "when im in a disrespecting my former stars competition and my opponent is the clippers" in reference to letting bradley beal wear CP3's number

i imagine the conversation went like this:

Beal: "Hey Steve Ballmer, you don't seem to have much going on right now.  can i ask you a question?"

Ballmer, looks up from biting a Pablo Torres bodypillow: "What on earth do you want?!?"

Beal: "You know how i barely played last year? And you know how you promised chris paul to retire his number? I was thinking maybe we kill two birds with one stone and i wear his number."

Ballmer, face red from anger: "Sure whatever Beal, please get the fuck out of here"
