It sounds ridiculous to suggest that the backing band for a former member of the notorious black-metal group Emperor would…be a really good fit, with the right song, at Eurovision. But Leprous are fantastic musicians, write catchy-ass melodies, and have a great command of dynamics and drama.

Happy Willie Mays day to all who celebrate.
A screenshot from the Associated Press headed TODAY IN HISTORY, dated September 29. The top entry is titled "1954: Willie Mays makes 'The Catch.'"

Between the header and the title is a famous black-and-white photo, a wide shot of a baseball player, his back to the camera, wearing number 24, running away from the photographer's position, just a couple of feet from an outfield wall and what looks like the
"batter's eye." To the side of the batter's eye is a grandstand of fans, on their feet, all eyes on the ballplayer.

He is Willie Mays, and it is game one of that year's World Series. He has just caught a baseball over his shoulder in deep center field at the Polo Grounds in New York, and he is about to whirl around and launch the ball into the infield, preventing the runners from advancing. The New York Giants went on to win the game, five to one.

This might be the most famous defensive play in baseball history. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest.

I have covered some unrelated text between the Associated Press logo and the photograph, because it had to do with current events involving the Trump administration and a criminal investigation. These matters are very important. I don't want to trivialize them by including them as an afterthought in a post about baseball.

I wonder: Do many folks who use the three-arrows emblem realize that the Iron Front was against communism and Antifascistische Aktion (which regarded EVERYONE who wasn't communist as "fascist," including social democrats) as well as the Nazis? Or has that emblem just drifted/been coopted by now?

The thing about Newsom is…I just looked up the California Democratic Party platform from 2018, when he was elected governor. (I found a CNBC news report, but the PDF of the actual platform was a broken link, and the Wayback Machine isn't displaying it right on my phone.) The policies in it…

All in all, I think it’s best to take the advice of Chris Taylor, then “San Francisco bureau chief for Time magazine, and a longtime Onion fan”, who said: “Average readers do themselves no disservice if they’re skeptical about every news story they read – fake or not.”

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.
