I learned from ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" pod and @slangsonsports.bsky.social's weekly "The Numbers Game" report that Dave Kingman struck out FOUR batters in his career!?!
My favorite card in the Marvel set so far: Sauron, Dino Devotee. Turning 1/1 guys with deathtouch and reach into 5/5s is fun. I have yet to "cure cancer."
A full shelf of old Game Informers (seeing lots early 2010s dates) at this Half-Priced Books. @brianpshea.bsky.social.
This is a piece of butterscotch banana cream pie from Toulouse Petit in Seattle's Queen Anne district. It was a big as a porterhouse. I am more pie than man now.
Also: My favorite ship in Star Wars is the Dreadnaught. Yes, it's old. Yes, some will say its design isn't as inspired as Star Destroyers and Mon Cal cruisers, but I just love this thing. Those weapons blisters! (Ansel Hsiao's image here). fractalsponge.net
My "controversial" Star Wars take? Empire at War is the best Star Wars game. Modders are still supporting it! The popular Thrawn's Revenge mod got an update in February. If you want to build big ships and blow stuff up, this is your jam.
My great-grandma would make incorporate the dry ingredients with wet for a biscuit dough by mixing it with just one finger. No one in the family has ever been able to re-create this ... until I did this morning. The best dough I've ever worked with.
Also, with all this talk of the pope today, I can't stop thinking about one of my favorite Simpsons episodes.
