Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Embrace the Void

Senor Weaselo

/

, , , ,

Hollow Knight spoilers! (The former Senorita Weaselo did not get to that ending because the game is really, REALLY HARD. Like, Metroidvania but make it a platforming hell Souls-like. I will get it on Steam at some point, if/when I get a controller.)

At this point, the Falklands Clasico has been decided and we have our finalists for Sunday at MetLife (and the other two for Saturday in Miami). Which means we have absolutely fuck-all tonight. You’ve got… the ESPYs. Yeah, no. Hard no.

They do it after the All-Star Game because that’ll make you want to watch the ESPYs! (There is probably nothing that will make me want to watch the ESPYs. At best it would be on and I’d be too lazy to not change the channel.) But just think of it this way, after this week where the Mundial finishes it’s only 18 days until the Hall of Fame Game!

In other news, this is the “extolling Dakota Story’s virtues” open thread. Earlier this morning, Story threw his league-record 3rd complete game of the season, his league-record 3rd career shutout, and his league-record 5th complete game, as the Nocturnes clinched a playoff spot to defend their title thanks to an 11-0 win. He becomes the first (and currently only) pitcher with back-to-back 70+ inning seasons and because of a shitty middle of the season where he couldn’t keep the ball in the yard, is iffy on whether he makes the All-Star team. (Nocturnes #2 starter Claude Sellers may start in the All-Star Game for the West depending on how his last start goes. He is currently 2nd in the league in ERA, nearly a full run better in the division than Anchorage’s Mako Tate.)

More Nocturnes Magazine when the regular season finishes in a couple of weeks! As for now, VOIIIIIIIIIIIID.

Just had a “pizza delivery” call.

I don’t know what had already happened before the call. It took me a moment to figure things out, but police were dispatched within 60 seconds of the call.
It still took them six minutes to get there.
That was an incredibly long six minutes (insert TWSS joke here).
She said she’s a minor. I can’t verify that, but she was definitely being held against her will. He likely had bad plans.
I hope and pray she’s okay. I sincerely hope they catch this waste of oxygen.
Hug your loved ones.

Fuck, that’s gotta be scary and strange in terms of the code-switching. Hope she’s safe.

This was my evening drive. The wife and blaxito went out ahead of me to the hale. I’m still Doing Work and closing up the house. Trash comes tomorrow so I’m grinding to do most of my cleaning tonight. I’ve been listening to some UA basketball podcasts and, to be transparent, this team better win the Monster 12 next season. Tonight at dinner I saw MLB Network was showing some other ASG — the Baseball Association of America League? It looked like a cheap Newsmax broadcast but, when you think about it, that’s a lot of the baseball content below the professionals. Finally, I appreciated the end of The Dark Tower. I’d have probably never finished something that started off so hot after losing my addition spark/muse. And the pointed evaluation — would you rather have the full work or none of it, in hindsight? Full work, i would vote every single time. I mean, if you sit for a regional NFL game broadcast on a typical Sunday, the proportionality of excitement/thinking parts in The Dark Tower series versus what the NFL delivers over 3h12m isn’t even close.
Also, this is the first time in years I’ve not been able to fall back on, “just grab a Roland number” for my book on trips. I’ll take any reading recommendations now. Something to make me feel smart.
Now I’m tired. I had a couple drinks at dinner (because MAGA/Israel ASG Game was on, you’ll recall).

Also, a girl at Trader Joe’s had a tee shirt and on the back was the Scott’s Tots chant. I rarely (if ever) am touched by a shirt. That one made my day.

Member when the Uber algorithm would actually optimize for the most effective route for you and your driver? Pepperidge Farms and BFC remember.

This bitterness brought to you by “the app is showing that there are 10 or so ubers about ~6 minutes away in the airport staging area but we matched you with someone 16 minutes away and driving in circles in northern Virginia for no good reason.”

yeah right

This just in people.

There’s going to be a DFOCON Chicago the first weekend in October.

Get in on the ground floor because I’ve got restaurant ideas that will blow your mind.

Let’s do this motherfucker!

You have to be kidding me. I just committed earlier this evening to that same weekend with a different group of friends in Oregon.

It’s that or cholera. Or the modern option of a road accident.

I’d fly but I’m really behind on my audio books.

Ciao Tutti.

Alrighty then, make this run, coat up in insect repellent, and weed for an hour or two. My morning is planned out.

The morning runs here are a “cool” 25C or about 82F.

We’re going to the beach tomorrow. Not even sure I’ll need a wetsuit.

Have you ever got scraped up or anything? That’s my big concern on the choice waves

We go in the mornings. I prefer to be back by 7a. 8a at the latest. Plus I gotta deal with (ie jayealk) a drag strip of roadway near my house that is much more navigable with two dogs and an 8year old before rush hour.

Thats right. I call Litre’s educating his son in a pub and raise him running your kid across rush hour traffic with a designated “suicide lane” to start every morning (well, five days a week).

I showed this to blaxito last night. Theres this freaking ripoff ‘UFO Experince ‘ attraction (read: cheap sideahow tourist trap) that ee killed an hour in and that introduced the MIB.
I think it scares my boy a little. He kept turning to me and talking when the Bugs were featured.

I look forward to introducing him to Jackass in the future.

Fine them?
Make them miss some friendlies?
Have Susan Collins shake her finger at them?

The passion that drives these people’s always-shocking levels of racism also fuels their pride in identity and the moral drive to fight on all front.

It’s just LD doing LD things throughout history. It’s kinda rocking.

I still can’t believe how badly England bottled things today. Gained the advantage and then just tucked into a tiny little ball waiting for Argentina to kick them and take their lunch money.

yeah felt sorry for Brickford with so many people in front of him but as a vaguely irish decedant you love to see it

It’s happened so many times this Cup: team takes the lead, team goes into a shell to protect said lead, team loses lead and then game.

At some point you’d think everyone would learn something from this, but you would be wrong.

Yeah, I feel like “and not a single thing of value was learned” is perfectly on brand for a World Cup taking place primarily in the United States.

If these brits had spent any time in Tucson, they’d know, going up against Argentina, to never ease off engagement with a Mexican in a soccer game.

Tuchel was the highest paid cooch at the tourney? Just learned that on reddit where the English are reacting surprisingly well. They are used to bottling it seems but the blame is squarely on Tommy Tuchs.

Old Man WCS’s birthday

Allow me to rephrase… Since I could qualify as “Old Man WCS,” let’s call him “Older Man WCS,” since this my dad. July 22 is Older Man WCS’s anniversary of the Earth’s position in orbit around the sun.

Mighty Whitey reported today for the preseason with our shiny new Madridista coach.

That can’t be right.
