@mlb.com All season long on the At Bat app we’ve had to listen to annoying canned “crowd noise” during the commercial breaks. How come during the WS you’re allowing advertising to be broadcast? And why are you allowing all these political ads to play on the app at all?

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

I have to tell you, the laundromats in Bangkok have been making hay this past week. For some reason the dryers seem to be in especially high demand.

This is how I enter my favorite restaurants.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖

Squirrels on suicide missions have knocked out power to Castle Rock, Colorado twice this week. Our investigation has revealed a century of squirrel attacks covered up by the pro-squirrel media.

Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate after more than a three months absence. A 90 day vacation, fully paid. With the best health care coverage thrown in. I wish I had a gig like that.

I have some thoughts on AI and national security. I started writing this prior to the panic over the weekend, but it seemed important to finish part 1 quickly in light of the chaos. Unlocked for everyone: www.patreon.com/AWHSBlog/pos...

I’m their zeal to make everything about AI app developers are making their apps impossible to use. Simple items like writing down “ 10 @ 25 = 250” becomes impossible as the app tries to insert a date, a location, or some other total fucked up random function. MAKE IT STOP!

If I were to buy the new iPhone Duo it would take me seven years to figure out how to use all the major features. By then it would be time for me to buy another phone. 😝

Lazada Thailand absolutely sucks rocks. I ordered three items in August 24th and haven’t received a single one yet. Lazada Alerts said my orders will be delivered on August 28th. I got that same message on August 30, 31, September 1st, 2nd, . . .

And I get a delivery failure notice. Hey Lazada, if you give your couriers so many packages they can’t deliver them in one day, that’s not a delivery failure. That’s a systems failure. You have to get in front of my house before it’s a delivery failure.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

One trillion seconds would equal 31,688.7 years. But sure, let’s do a little more military spending and let’s reduce those rich guys’ taxes.
