I’m connected to several folks who work at other museums in town, and this came as a bit of a shock to me. The letter that sparked this ARTnews story is damning. There is another museum in town that I thought would be roasted as well as my institution well before the outrage got to noma, but maybe that’s coming for us too.
Oh, nice -- my employer hopes to offer MLK Day instead of President's Day as an official company holiday starting next year.
Hopes to. We had a problem here because Mardi Gras creates a scheduling problem - they just shut down the buildings and we all get a 4 day weekend and have a massive production loss on Wednesday. The board said that the dates were close enough usually the MLK and that the staff should just be happy with what they already get. The maintenance staf (13 of the 14 employees are POC) all called in sick on MLK day. Not an organized strike per se, but it got the message across. We now get MLK day off the board be damned.
I think it just has to get approved by the various unions, so formalities.
In lighter news, I just scored a weber smokey mountain off evilbook marketplace. Dude has to move to MO (some tiny town between KC and .... ) for his wife's residency. I'm stoked, and soon the smoker will be too.
pics or it never happened.
Miguel Sanó has been cleared in the Dominican Republic. Accusations were made but no charges were filed. Had a brief hearing today. #MNTwins expect him to report on time.
I don’t presume to know what his life is like, but bad business seems to follow him around.
And his next in the thread.
#MNTwins have been made aware of several positive COVID-19 tests among their players. None of the players was working out at Target Field or in Fort Myers.
I've been listening to P.A. a bit because I've been driving around mid-morning. His head is in the sand about football being played. He's more worried about how many people can be in the stands as opposed to how can you keep players healthy.
Don't get me wrong, he's not a "COVID19 is not a big deal" guy. He just thinks it all can be managed.
Today’s sandwich features smoked ham, double creme brie, bit of butter, fig jam and butter lettuce on a baguette. Could be the best this week. Though it’s technically a hot dog as the bread wasn’t sliced all the way through. /winks
Oh man... fig jam is a perfect inclusion there. Nice. It's been too long since I've had that... I might have to go get some.
seconded. Fig jam goes so great with brie (or camembert!!!) and ham.
I taught my wife about FIGJAM and it is now regularly used in our house.
I...did not know that was a thing until just now. Huh.
This episode of Bob's Burgers is the only thing I ever think about when I hear "fig jam."
today's sandwich was...a leftover cheeseburger patty on toasted rye bread. A cheeseburger sandwich, as it were.
No grilled onions? Seems like an oversight.
raw onions. short break between zoom calls.
Not sure if anyone posted this, but the proposed schedule keeps it simple:
10 games each against each inter division opponent
20 games total against corresponding region in the opposite league
So the playoffs, for the first time since their inception, will feature some matchups that never happened in the regular season.
On the last bit, obviously not counting the World Series.
So the playoffs, for the first time since their inception 1994, will feature some matchups that never happened in the regular season not be played.
Sure, but I figure I may as well talk about hypothetical baseball while I can.
Last team left with enough healthy bodies to field a team wins!
RIP Sergei Krushchev, of an apparent gunshot to the head. Unclear whether he died by suicide or it was an accidental discharge, but no foul play suspected. He was 84.
Krushchev was the son of the former Soviet leader and was an expert on guided missile design. He moved to the US in 1991 as a visiting scholar at Brown, and later became a US citizen.
We will bury you. 👞
Oh yeah, Rich Hill is on the Twins...
And Pineda. Is the rest of his suspension still pending? He's not going to be able to pitch until September now.
According to LEN3 He'll serve all 39 games.
I got a haircut today. I was not expecting so much hair to get caught between my mask and my face...
Still waiting until it's Locks of Love length
Ack. Hairball!
Really impressive solo goal for Pulisic
Just found out officially my wife will be taking her talents to San Antonio. (Technically a suburb of San Antonio). The school she had taught at for 18 years or so had closed in May. Since I work from home, I told her that she didn't necessarily need to find work around here, especially with how high the cost of living is here. She will be teaching computer science to junior high and high school students as well as working in the front office in some capacity, either doing IT or helping with grades, etc. Teachers are supposed to report the first week of August, so we have a lot to do in a short time, including selling our house.
Riverwalk!
Good luck with the move, sotextwinsfan.
🤠
Nice!
Big move! Good luck with everything that goes along with it.
Good luck! I like San Antonio. Interesting place.
A bit more Mexico than the rest of Texas. I love that town.
I wish I'd made more of an effort to see San Antonio while I lived down there.
I only got to spend one night there for work, but I had a great time.
It's been more than 20 years since I was there, and it was brief, but it was a memorable trip and I loved it too.
Best of luck to the SoCal family!
Good luck and best wishes to you.
I’ll pile on for San Antonio. I was only there for a few days, but it’s one of the coolest cities I’ve been in.
S.A. has pequin peppers in the street markets - small but powerful.
When I was there last (a while ago), we went to some authentic BBQ joints downtown. If you wear a tie, they will cut it off with a scissors and hang it on their wall of ties.
Good luck with the move!
I know the conventional wisdom is that the 1994 Montreal Expos would have won the World Series ig it wasnt for the strike. But would they? The Yankees were strong that year finishing with a .619 winning percentage. The Braves were in the midst of their NL dominance. The White Sox had a strong lineup and good pitching and right behind them in the standing were Cleveland with is lineup of soon-to-be HoFers and Hall of Very Good players.
The Expos were great, but I dont think a WS trophy is a cut and dry case.
Playoffs are a crap shoot of course.
I've never heard anyone say the Expos would have won the '94 World Series. I have heard many say that they had a good shot at the WS, which is far and away better than anything in their past history, 1981 excepted.

Further from 'B', closer to 'A'.
