Nothing much has changed in the world in the last 25 years… My brother-in-law is watching the Yankee game on his phone while in London to watch the Mets play the Phillies after seeing a hologram show by a group that broke up 42 years ago. IMG_3965.3gp

TEXTS FROM ABROAD: They had 1 song in the middle that was accompanied by a short animated film. And at the end the ABBA-tars sing Winner Takes It All and they walk off the stage. They then come back for a final bow and the ABBA-tars look like they do now. The only other song the ABBA-tars don't perform is Waterloo. They to a shtick about how they got started and then they show a digitally restored version of them singing Waterloo on the Eurovision contest. Also Agnetha must have paid the digital team extra for a digital butt lift and boob job.

I think that's what he meant for 2 tix. If they hadn't recorded, I couldn't share this gift with you from Tony Orlando's farewell performance: (you're welcome) Tony Orlando and Dawn.MOV

They got the tickets! But they explicitly say no recording, so they will not be able to FaceTime me during it. Bummer!

Fired MLB manager is now a thirst-trapping TikTok star Ex-Giants manager Gabe Kapler has a new side gig that no one expected.

It turns out the ABBA arena is right by where the games are being played and they are staying nearby. They had wanted to take in a show while there and ABBA would be much more convenient than heading to the theater district, so they are going to try to get tickets for tomorrow.

My sister and brother-in-law went to London to see the Mets and Phillies play this weekend. They flew out last night. At 2:27 AM I got a text from my brother-in-law with a picture of my sister standing in front of an ad for the ABBA voyage show that was one of the first things they encountered after getting off the plane. They did look into getting tickets for it, but it was like $400 to stand on the floor and they are much bigger baseball fans than ABBA fans so they had to draw the line on spending somewhere.

Dude, do you think anyone has noticed we've lost 12 in a row and 16 of 17 and are back on pace for the most losses ever?

Triple delight: Rare Andean bear cubs make their public debut at Queens Zoo Also known as speckled bears, they are the closest living relative of the giant panda. In a similar fashion, the species is distinguished by white or cream fur around their eyes, muzzle and chest among mostly black fur. Since 1995, there have been eight births of this species of bear right at the Queens Zoo. The site is involved in a cooperative breeding program which works to enhance the genetic stability and populations of these bears. Currently there are 33 Andrean bears in zoos across the country that are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). This year’s birth of the species at the Queens Zoo, which is accredited by AZA, was the only instance.

He was forced to withdraw from his upcoming match and will lose his #1 ranking.

Her mommy, Lorraine Newman, is gonna get you for that.

Texas man shoots own uncle dead in fight over who owned two pet roosters Aaron Cervantes, 21, showed up to his uncle’s house with another relative to reclaim two fowl he said he owned. But when Cervantes started to take the birds the uncle confronted him sparking a fight which culminated in Cervantes taking out a handgun and shooting his kin inside his home.

My daughter wants to change colleges, and she asked a professor for a letter of recommendation. We received the letter, and it strikes me as overly positive. My daughter has worked hard to get decent grades, but from the contents of this letter, you would think she was the most gifted student ever to attend that college. Basically I don’t believe that what her professor is saying is true. Maybe he’s just trying to be helpful, or possibly he used ChatGPT, but I feel uneasy. Should I submit it anyway? Your daughter’s in college. Why are you submitting the letter/application? You can assist, you can advise. When asked. You can’t do it for her anymore. Land the helicopter. I’d have thought that the better practice was to send letters of recommendations to the college in question, not to the student. But however this letter was produced — whether it involved ChatGPT or a Ouija board — the professor has offered it as his view. You haven’t been in the classes and seen the work your child has done. Your daughter asked for a letter expressing his judgment, not a letter reporting yours. If the letter is implausible on its face, of course, it might not help your daughter’s chances of getting the transfer, and, I suppose, could even hurt. That would be a reason to worry about submitting it. But your doubts about the letter’s accuracy are not a sufficient warrant for concern. Letters of recommendation are so often hyperbolic that a dry-as-dust articulation of your daughter’s qualities might be read as unenthusiastic. (British letters of recommendation tend to be several degrees cooler than their American counterparts.) Hyperbole is a figure of speech: an overstatement that’s meant to be recognized as such. So I wouldn’t assume that your daughter’s professor aimed to be dishonest. He may simply have a better sense of the calibration of such letters than you do — just as the wised-up admissions folk on the receiving end will. Consult a lawyer, you moron! Your slut daughter obviously had an affair with the professor and now wants to run away from the mess so she blackmailed him into writing that letter. THAT’S why it was sent to your home and not the new school… so the conniving slut could approve it.
