Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I am prepared to root for the Chicago White Sox for maybe the first time in my life. I don't want to get too deep into it, but I distinctly remember holding my head in my hands, saying it was a nightmare when they won the WS. This feels like hope for the future of humanity. Thank you. 3130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It seems strange how much of 70s and 80s popular culture "rebels" were obsessed with breaking the speed limit on US Highways. Thank you. (Full disclosure - I can't drive 55, either - might be ticketed for going too slow! I'll be at the Big Rapids Airport later in the week...) 190

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Dudes, what is going on over at LinkedIn these days? I keep getting automated emails about folks challenging me to some kind of "Wordle"-like puzzle game. (The last time I was on LinkedIn, I got into a fight with a retired judge from Tennesee in the comment section of the New Yorker. Thank you.) 141

She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP. 40117983396
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 20/08/2026There are more pressing issues afoot, but I feel like we should fund the USPS to the hilt. Walking into a post office should be like walking into a futuristic Busby Berkeley fever dream of efficiency and class. 3173
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/08/2026This dude (Phillies auction winner to call an inning - Lewis Kalb) is outstanding.

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I went to see the movie "Weiner-Dog" with Mrs. King a few years ago. She dumped a half-empty tub of popcorn over my head when I laughed at a terrible thing that happened near the end of that movie. No spoilers! 150

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I always love Milwaukee. It's like the "Canada of Chicago"! It's right up the road, it rules, the Milwaukee Art Museum is great, etc.! Finally tried The Vanguard, and good lord those are some great sausages. Hats off to the great city of Milwaukee, USA! 090

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 11/07/2026If you watch the PMRC hearings with John Denver, Zappa, and Dee Snider, it might occur to you that Al Gore is a world-class dummy! Still would have been better than GWB! #itsmytwocents #oldguytakes 120
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Is there a baseball stat that takes into account hits (etc.) against a position player pitching for the opposing team because of a blow-out? I'm sure there is. (Totally unrelated to today's Cubs game) 020

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I think the 6 "rock" records from Jim O'Rourke are the best music committed to tape over the last 30-something years. You can buy the whole bunch from him on Bandcamp - I did this a few years ago. I don't know what this genre is called.... Here's "The Visitor": www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xoZ...youtube.comJim O'Rourke "The Visitor" HQYouTube video by Alexander Lavin 2111
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I am not immune to the charms of the band Rush. They are not my favorite band, but I have enjoyed their thing over the years. The near universal approval and praise of Anika Nilles replacing N.P. on that ridiculous drum kit fills me with hope! She's killing it! The takes seem mostly good! 1120
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 01/06/2026This record has ruined my life. Sometimes my wife will ask me why I blasting "Circus Music" in the middle of the night. This is the most psychedelic record of all time. It is. I'm not sure why the real "heads" never hipped me to it. Please help... 290

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I am currently obsessed with the Van Dyke Parks' album "Song Cycle". This is a deeply strange record. I love you. ok. 2131

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Do any of you beautiful people have a good alternative to Substack for using as a newsletter / email platform? I switched to them from MailChimp, as it's currently free. I've got about 2000 newsletter subscribers. Looking for something either free or inexpensive (this is a low-budget operation). 330

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Mark Borchardt's "Coven" is better than "Clerks". I realize that's damning with faint praise... (I just re-watched "American Movie", and am now watching "Coven" in its entirety for the first time.) 150
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I am watching the black and white version of "Basquiat". I'm a sucker for this kind of movie, and for the record, it looks great in black and white! (A Googler AI tried to tell me the history of why there's a b/w version, but I have not yet gone down that rabbit hole) 110

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Just tried to make a list of every domain name I have ever owned (rented?). Was able to remember 7 of them, but I'm sure there are a few more bought on some kind of idiot whim. #itsmytwocents 130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Learning that nearly every Prince vocal that exists on tape happened with him in a chair hovered over a board, maybe with a guitar or something in his lap - well, this maybe changed a few things about how I viewed the world. Thank you. 1130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 07/01/2026In my head, I have a soft spot for Las Vegas. I learned to embrace the horror, I thought! It occurs to me that I have only been to Vegas on a company dime. It was free, and I don't like gambling, generally. There are a lot of great restaurants there! The quail egg dumplings at China Pablano! ok. 150

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 15/12/2025How many bands have taken a 20+ year hiatus and returned with an undeniable banger? I think the band Hum did this with 2020's "Inlet", which is maybe their best record. Leave your submissions in the comments! #itsmytwocents 470
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Music Nerds! Please help me out: WTF genre is Jim O'Rourke's "The Visitor"? I love that record so much. It's not really all that weird, but it occurs to me I wouldn't know how to explain it! Wait, maybe it is super weird... 120
