Embarrassing week one showing from the Rams, especially after all the hype. After the first quarter the Niners just never looked back. The Rams looked lethargic. I’m sure fans in Melbourne liked it but American Football is a poor viewing experience from abroad. Little of the atmosphere of the stadium bleeds into the at home viewing experience. Also, I’ve never heard the phrase “meat pie” uttered so frequently, either.

Elle Cordova to the tune of Modern Major General.

Over 101 billion lost to this completely inept war in Iran. It’s shocking, and everyday it is feeling more and more like another forever war. One we will be stuck in for the next decade-plus. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran. When will we learn our lesson?

There needed to be some kind of mic drop on this one. Loved it.

I feel like editing and music are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but that blank smiling stare is wild. From a technical perspective, the shot-reverse-shot and cut to the wide has me curious how this conversation was shot if its not scripted (I’m not saying it was, though). It does not compute in my brain.

The latest from The Overview Effekt goes long on the history of human space exploration. Great visuals as well in this one.

In all honesty watching the Dodgers since even the All-Star break has been painful. Their early year tear devolved into an aged and injured line-up treading water. When it’s this Dodgers team, that’s still a pretty good top 5 team, but against good competition they often look overmatched. Time to get healthy for the October push, boys.

Unsurprising, to say the least, but disappointing nonetheless. Meanwhile, I’ve heard MapQuest is a pretty good app and gets bonus points for the whimsy and nostalgia.

What could possibly go wrong with rigged Census numbers?

I recall the glory days of the Angels. After winning that World Series in the early 00s I was certain they would be winning for a long time to come. Not only did that not happen, but it was bungled so badly that they couldn’t manage to win with both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. I really do hope for better results for the Angels, despite the forced narrative that they are crosstown rivals, I’ve always had a soft spot for ‘em.
