My mother’s review of OPPENHEIMER, via text:

“We saw Oppenheimer this afternoon. Long!”

🚨BREAKING🚨 Donald Trump has hired Wayne Rooney to play all the parts of his defence team.

A second internal investigation into John Falcicchio, a former top adviser to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, has found he made unwanted sexual advances toward a D.C. government employee on five separate occasions. bizjournals.com/washington/new…

Someone knew what they were doing with this press release headline.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is expected to announce a new unit that’s tasked with retaining and attracting sports teams in the District. It comes shortly after new ownership took control of the Washington Commanders. bizjournals.com/washington/new…

Did someone say “Marty Cordova”?

Got lucky with the 4 teams I know most about in the grid today. Still fun to get Maddux and Manny in there.

If I ever get a dog, I've decided I am going to name it Verb. It's the editor in me. If it acts up, I can admonish it with 'Bad Verb! Bad Verb!' — which I have wanted to say countless times in professional settings.

Learned this week that White Sox legend Luke Appling, playing at age 75, homered off Warren Spahn (age 61) at an Old Timers Game at RFK Stadium in 1982. Underrated D.C. sports moment, I must say. youtube.com/watch?v=fQMQB3…
