Really trying to catch up on a certain TV show before I get spoilered to death (thanks for using the boxes, gang).

Today's fun word/term: carcinization
Zoidberg is always just a few hundred million years of evolution away.
Ex-Twins news: Tyler Viza signs with the Chinatrust Brothers in Taiwan.
Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences with taking small fry to the ballpark. I narrowed it down to two options that get the Poissonnière close to her favorite player (Arráez): Section 109, Row 7, and Section 210, Row 1. After considering potential any discomfort from sitting right at the edge of the terrace, I went with Section 109.
Nice -- Twins going with their B.C.A. lineup today. Not sure that Bux at the top is the smartest plan, but Luis has a better chance than anyone to advance runners. Also, I'll be happy when Lopez takes over the team Saves leadership from some other pitcher.
Agreed on the appreciation for spoiler boxes. I was caught up on BCS, but am currently driving across country (again…) so haven’t been able to watch the finale.
We are now on our second drive to Minnesota this summer (plus we drove to Colorado in June), but this one is a longer-term trip. My wife got a one-year fellowship at University of Minnesota, so this is our trip to move her, the kids, and the dog there for this school year. I still have to be in-person in California for some classes this semester, so I’ll be flying back and forth frequently. Then, I plan to join them in December, and the we’ll all be there until the Summer.
It will be nice do my kids to get to spend more time with their cousins and grandmother this year, though certainly a lot of work to get this all together.
Congrats to Mrs. Mike. Survive the fall and enjoy the year.
Thinking more about BCS and BB. Both had very satisfying endings in that the main protagonist got what was coming to them. In addition, the endings were satisfying because their audience-beloved sidekicks (Jesse and Kim) seemed to have escaped -- perhaps a bit worse for wear -- but they weren't brutally murdered, thrown in jail, etc. I think I would have been pretty upset and felt manipulated if either had come to major harm.
I read an article in Scientific American from last year that suggested the Carrington Event wasn't even close to the largest CME to hit the Earth in the past few millennia. There is evidence that one ten times stronger hit in 775.
Plague, murder hornets, floods, so why not Death From the Sky?
Technically it's not really death from the sky, but when the power grid goes down for months and satellites are damaged, the death will eventually follow

Why Your Team Sucks 2022: Minnesota Vikings
I don't watch the Vikings at all (being out of state makes it a lot harder) so this ends up being the only preview I read about them.
It's so glorious. Thanks!
Ah, that one landed.
I hope we have clear skies for a few nights, I'd like to see some northern lights.
The Carrington Effect -- my personal nightmare

just for fun, here's a cool visualization.
