We made a comic about coffee.

"we need a more pro-social social media!" I say, as I draw curlicues under the title of my 'these are the friends of my enemies!!!' list. "successful moderation means moderating behavior, not speech!" I shout, as I purge the followers of the followers of my enemies, down to the seventh generation.

bring back the All-Star break Old Timers' Game! here's Luke Appling hitting a homer off Warren Spahn in 1982. I guess a rough equivalent today would be Reggie Jackson or Johnny Bench homering off, say, Bert Blyleven or Dwight Gooden:
