#sonTwo ordered my Christmas present already. I know he's on MLBShop, so I can guess it is "Dodgers World Series Champions 2020" merchandise.

NY Post says the NY Mets probably regret letting Justin Turner go seven years ago. He's been a key postseason performer for the Dodgers every year since then.

The #Dodgers pulled Justin Turner in the 6th inning. No one knew why, but now we know. https://nu.federati.net/url/277158 [sports yahoo com]

#sonTwo tells me that the #Tampa_Bay #Rays pitcher (Snell) is "on fire". Currently, Rays 1, #Los_Angeles #Dodgers 0; bottom/4th.
#World_Series game 6 !baseball #MLB
-
The play-by-play commentators are puzzled (as I and my son are) as to why the TB manager pulled the pitcher when he was still doing so well.
-
Dodgers home run in the bottom of the 8th. Score now
Tampa Bay 1,
Los Angeles 3; bottom/8th.

And the #Dodgers win a #World Series again after 32 years! #MLB !baseball

@mangeurdenuage That's because you're thinking about the moon being moistened with urine and the astronauts flying back on their Saturn V rockets and track moon pee all over your floor.
-
So NASA announced that they have found the signature of water in sunlight areas of the moon. What they neglected to say is that back when astronauts were landing there, they described the surface as having the consistency of wet sand. Maybe the evidence was in front of them, just unseen.

spectrographic signature
-
And in the "Don't drink the water" department,
What if 1960s-1970s era spacesuits leaked, and the water being found is urine?

#CA state senate bill tries to stop garment industry wage theft. https://nu.federati.net/url/277125 [www latimes com]
I think one thing that could help is to treat wage theft as a serious crime on the same level as bank robbery. Get cross-agency task forces and strike teams to arrest and prosecute the ringleaders and send them to decades-long prison sentences. Take the proceeds of their theft and use them to reimburse their victims with interest.

#cats do that. #grandkids, too, but they're often more interested in the electronic device than in human attention.

My room is now 64F / 18C, which is about 20F cooler than it has been for a few months. No more shorts and t-shirt.

@mangeurdenuage Is there enough moisture blowing in the air for you to take a free shower?

"what controls do you currently have over your own life right now?
- Relationship
- Where you live
- Job
Will changing any of these improve your quality of life? Does the short term thought of the pain you must endure for the change deter you?"
Someone posted this in reply to someone who is struggling. I think this may be useful to myself and others, so I'm leaving it here to make it easier to find.

"Controls over your own life" is why I think adulthood is candy compared with childhood & adolescence. It doesn't mean it is quick and easy to change some of the things that are bothering you, but it is possible. Before age 18, one is completely dependent on someone else being willing to change / allow you to change those things.

The person formerly known as @amic@nulled.red@nulled.red is now known as 'Kuru' @kurusukono@nulled.red ... I'm hoping they get things sorted.

Fun facts about !SoCal:
(1) #Orange County is traditionally a Republican dominated area, occasionally referred to as "behind the Orange Curtain". #Riverside and #San_Bernardino counties are also Republican, except for areas in and near the City of San Bernardino itself.
(2) In #Los_Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles, there is some jealousy and rivalry between the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel Valley. SFV is mostly part of L.A City, and got to keep the 818 area code during the 626 split, while SGV did not. SFV's distincive speech patterns ("ValSpeak") were also featured and mocked in "Valley Girl", which caused people all over the country to copy it. SGV's more Hispanic oriented speech patterns are not on anyone's clone list.

Los Angeles Times columnist: The #COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that it is time to treat high-speed Internet access as a utility. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-10-23/coronavirus-internet-is-a-utility [www latimes com]
He’s right, but we’ve failed to regulate existing utilities strenuously enough. Just changing the words on a form somewhere is not enough. We need tough and thorough oversight of “last mile” communication and information service providers (telephone, Internet), including geographical restrictions, restrictions on the kinds of businesses the same parent company can operate, restrictions on what services the carriers can directly offer (to prevent them misusing their privileged gateway positions cut off or interfere with services offered by competing entities.
