Tell me something I don’t know. You should know that your husband and I are in constant contact. It would not be unfair to categorize what we have as an “emotional affair”. Go Blue!

Just you shut your mouth! Go Dodgers!

I hope this was worth it for Eric Church.

And so it was.

I hope this was worth it for Eric Church.

Taylor Hawkins has died. Foo Fighters put out a brief statement just now. They're touring in South America. 

I chuckled.

I've been binging the first few seasons of Queen of the South, which stars Peter Gadiot aka Adam. It's too bad Adam died because I like the actor a lot.

Also wasn't expecting this:

Some legal news:

The L.A. County District Attorney will not be filing charges against Trevor Bauer. The MLB investigation is still ongoing.

MLB won't do shit. Infuriating. 

Sad news about Jeremy Giambi.

So is Jackie's diary really just a fuck up by the writers/show runners?

Nope.

So now we know who *didn't* die in that opening sequence of the pilot. 

There's a lot to unpack but I'd like to point out the folly that was the electric kitchen knife. Not a fucking chance that's happening. 

@RumHam

I don't think it's a memorial case in that regard. Javi and Travis weren't on the team so it makes sense they would be in separate photos. And wasn't Akilah added to replace injured Allie? So same.

so @kairparavel did you buy it?

 

I did not <sigh> and now it's full price again. I need to work on not overthinking potentially fun purchases. 

I don't need this, right? Right?

I need to stay away from r/Yellowjackets. Anyways, maybe Van didn't die.

I don't think they eat Van, at all. But it will certainly escalate whatever is going on with Tai. Also, Tai had taken the bone thing off Van. It was the first thing I noticed when she came to in the tree.

I am more and more convinced they never turned to cannibalism but instead sacrificed/spilled blood for the 'spirit' or whatever Lottie sees and hears and she will ultimately be our antler queen. 

Good call on MC's part re: Jeff.

Then Jeff got home and immediately made plans with his girlfriend. 

MC thinks Jeff is the 50K blackmailer, as his going out to 'work' aligns with the pickup time. Also Shauna didn't get a postcard. No less possible than any else happening. Guess we'll find out.

Congrats to everyone who brought the Lodestar Award into existence!

So do they all wind up back at the crash site at some point? I've wondered about that. 

And Adam's back tattoo.

I watched the pilot the weekend it premiered on the Roku channel that let's you preview stuff for free. I was hooked from go and immediately subscribed to Showtime. 

I very much hope there isn't a supernatural aspect but instead is just a story of teenage girls going feral in a bigger way than LotF ever did. At any rate, we are thoroughly enjoying it. MC suggested Adam was Javier as well.

I also think Jackie survived to adulthood but I guess we'll see.

There were a lot of clever and poignant things this season. There was also the dumbest episode ever. And a lot of horses.

Submit to the Crow Horse.

A D.C. police officer early Wednesday fatally shot an armed man after he was found “unresponsive” behind the wheel of a running vehicle in the travel lane of a Northeast Washington street, then awoke and pulled away from responding officers, authorities said.

Quote

Council member Janeese Lewis George (D-Ward 4) drew comparisons to last week’s arrest of a man near the Capitol who sat in a truck for hours and claimed to have a bomb. He surrendered to authorities after negotiations.

George tweeted on Wednesday: “Sitting here trying to figure out how law enforcement can successfully de-escalate a white domestic terrorist in a truck threatening to blow up the Capitol with a bomb but not a Black man who fell asleep in his car?”

Of course, a dfferent set of police responded to each incident but also, you know. 

I was looking up the release date for Alecto the Ninth and discovered that it's been pushed out until 2023, after intially being pushed out to 2022 AND that it's now book FOUR in the series.
