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.

It's fascinating to me how these types of phenomonea develop.

Ohtani will inarguably be taking home $700 million via this deal, and I disagree with the notion that the contract should be described as anything other than that big number from a bottom-line perspective. But what matters, especially with regards to the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT), is the present value of the contract.
