I actually haven't been to a show at Wolf Trap yet! I was hoping to see Belle and Sebastian there a while back, but they sold out before I could get tickets

Normally I can spot him right off, but today he's stumped me. Well done, Darwin.

Not to get all superstitious, but at this point, I feel like pulling for the Ms is doing the Os a solid.

It's gonna get even weirder when it turns out that at least one of his children is by way of a secret half-sister he didn't know he had (or to get really dark, with one of his own older children)

All of history is both infinitely more interesting than you think and also infinitely stupider and some days that's comforting and some days, like today, you have to remember that a future historian will have to try and make today make sense a century from now.

I still can't wrap my head around how unbelievably good you have to be to not just make it in the NBA while being not freakishly tall, but being actually objectively extremely short. Like the average player he was going up against was well over a foot taller than him!

Except for during the sweet assassination cutscenes, but yeah (though nothing is more annoying than the camera angle on a bow-snipe cutscene causing the shot to miss)
