ID: Four drawings of Houston Spies players holding one of the four Umpire masks in front of a Solar Eclipse. The images are mostly grayscale, with the exception of the players' eyes, the accents on the Umpire masks, and the background details, all of which are the color of the associated Umpire. The first image is Esme Ramsey holding the Rogue Umpire's mask with flaming skulls (the icon representing incinerated players) and fire in the background. The second image is Rivers Javier holding the Knight Umpire's mask, surrounded by hands reaching up from below. The third image is Ivy Mason holding the Bard Umpire's mask. Above them is a circle of seven daggers pointed at them. The fourth image is Howell Franklin holding the Mage Umpire's mask. The background resembles the Alternate modification icon, with the person in the center replaced by Igneus Delacruz. Iggy has a hand on Howell's shoulder, and Howell reaches up with their free hand, as if they're trying to hold it. End ID.

strike one: esme ramsey, familiarity with death

strike two: rivers javier, familiarity with the shadows

strike three: ivy mason, familiarity with curses

strike four: howell franklin, familiarity with alternates

[ID: an excerpt from a reddit comment about the blaseball tcg development process, reading:

“All but one of the artists were chosen outside of the fanbase to ensure they had no background in Blaseball and wouldn’t accidentally pull from fanon

Artists were explicitly told not to look at fanart or do research. They were given very vague briefs to ensure generalized ideas were honored from fan history.

These are verbatim: “Chorby Short: frog that plays Blaseball, Jaylen Hotdogfingers: important she is black, has hotdogs for fingers, Nagomi Mcdaniel: as a former member of the crabs, has gained crab parts via carcinization, should be represented an Asian woman”

Every card was evaluated by sensitivity readers

Multiple designs were sent back for accidentally being too close to fan interpretations“]

on one hand i Get This from a perspective of wanting to make sure that players with names from specific cultures/who are commonly depicted as people of color don’t get whitewashed and that players who are depicted as trans/nb stay that way as well but on the other hand i think that even the vague briefs here are too specific. like i wish they’d told the artists the absolute bare minimum of “must be [x]” and just let them go ham??? why not tell them exactly what’s on the site about chorby short - name, pregame ritual, coffee, blood type - and let the imagination run wild with that. “frog that plays blaseball” is WAY too specific imo

ALSO knowing that the artists got these briefs makes it so easy to backfill in what the briefs were when you’re looking at the cards. you can absolutely take one look at the york silk card and say ‘oh the artist was told that york is a teenage boy from hawai’i’ and you can look at the howell franklin card and say ‘oh the prompt for this was humanoid wolfman’. it’s not slick, it’s actively working AGAINST the claim that “no interpretation is canon”, and it’s still taking elements of fan-created designs without proper credit, even if your artists aren’t directly looking at them as reference

Michael Howell – In the Silence

What I love most about this album is how Howell changes up what he’s doing on each track and how Maupin’s bass clarinet and other reeds slide in to create a mood. Howell’s songwriting also is first-rate. The album takes you back (or it did for me) to the mid-1970s if you lived through them (Marc Mayers/JazzWax). Michael Howell – Guitar Bennie Maupin – Tenor Saxophone, Saxello, Bass Clarinet, Alto Flute, Piccolo Flute Glen Howell – Bass Henry Franklin – Bass Leon Ndugu Chancler – Drums Kenneth Nash – Congas, Percussion

[doctorwhoisadhd]

was just running some numbers and of the current 216 Fallen players

137 are original players (63.4%), 74 originally on active rosters (34.3%) and 63 originally shadowed (29.2%)

43 are postseason births (20.0%)

68 have never seen active play (31.5%)

30 are replacements for incinerated players (13.9%)

4 are replacements for Hall Stars (Sebastian Sunshine -> Juice Collins / Dominic Marijuana -> Charlatan Seabright / Boyfriend Monreal -> Pudge Nakamoto / Yazmin Mason -> Mummy Melcon)

also, not only has Pudge fallen, but BOTH of Pudge's replacements have fallen as well (Donna Milicic and Scoobert Toast) (sadly not on the same team as either each other or Pudge though)

18 have been incinerated at least once (8.3%) and 1 (Pudge Nakamoto) was incinerated TWICE

11 were on the Rising Stars 💫 (5.1%) and 2 were on THE SHELLED ONE'S PODS 🥜 (0.9%): Jessica Telephone and Peanutiel Duffy

3 are originally from pre-history (1.4%): Archie Lampman, Abner Pothos, and Abbott Wright

114 have been around since the Return of Blaseball aka s1 (52.8%)

29 were created during the Discipline Era aka s2–s10 (13.4%)

70 were created during the Expansion Era aka s11–s24 (32.4%)

14 have been on 5 or more teams (6.5%), and 3 have been on 10+ teams (1.4%). NaN is the record-holder with 13 lifetime, followed by Jessica Telephone with 11 and Evelton McBlase II with 10

5 have only ever been on one team, including the team they Fell to (2.3%): Annick Throgmorten 🏝, Blimp Hardison 💋, Elip Dean 🐅, Sixpack Santiago 🚤, and Vernon Cotterpin 🏋️

18 fell to teams they had already been on previously (8.3%)

4 are original players falling to their original team (1.9%), and 3 of those are original active roster players (1.4%): Inky Rutledge ✨, Howell Franklin 🕵️, and Elijah Valenzuela 🏝

only ONE has been on the same team since the Return of Blaseball, and it is Elip Dean, a Tigers original shadow who fell to the Tigers but has never actually seen play.

Wrestling With the Past

I wrestled with this post. #Project365

Phillipsburg and Howell at Franklin High School, 2002 I mentioned in a recent post that we were going to try to broadcast wrestling at Brunswick today. I could cut to the chase. Then again, you can guess how it went. (Narrator: He didn’t broadcast wrestling today) After an active morning, I drove over to Brunswick.

Jefferson Davis was the 10th and last child of Samuel Emory Davis, a Georgia-born planter of Welsh ancestry who had fought in the American Revolution. When Jefferson Davis, who was named for Thomas Jefferson, was age three, his family settled on a plantation called Rosemont in Woodville, Mississippi. At age seven he was sent for three years to a Dominican boys’ school in Kentucky, and at age 13 he entered Transylvania College, Lexington, Kentucky. He later spent four years at the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating 23rd in a class of 33 in 1828. At both Transylvania and West Point, Davis’s best friend was the future Confederate general Albert Sidney Johnston. In the class behind Davis at West Point were two other cadets who would become prominent Confederate generals, Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston.

Davis served as a lieutenant in the Wisconsin Territory and afterward in the Black Hawk War under the colonel and future president Zachary Taylor, whose daughter Sarah Knox would become Davis’s wife. According to a contemporary description, Davis in his mid-20s was “handsome, witty, sportful, and altogether captivating.” After being posted in Arkansas for two years, Davis resigned his commission in 1835, married Knox, and became a planter near Vicksburg, Mississippi, on land given to him by his wealthy eldest brother, Joseph. Within three months his bride died of malarial fever. Grief-stricken, Davis stayed in virtual seclusion for seven years, creating a plantation out of a wilderness and reading prodigiously in constitutional law and world literature.

In 1845 Davis, a Democrat, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and married Varina Howell, a Natchez, Mississippi, aristocrat who was 18 years his junior and the granddaughter of a former governor of New Jersey. In 1846 Davis resigned his seat in Congress to serve in the Mexican-American War as a colonel in command of the First Mississippi volunteers. He became a national hero for winning the Battle of Buena Vista (1847) with tactics that won plaudits even in the European press. After returning to Mississippi severely wounded, he entered the Senate and soon became chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. In 1851 Davis ran unsuccessfully for governor of Mississippi. Pres. Franklin Pierce made him secretary of war in 1853. Davis enlarged the army, strengthened coastal defenses, and directed three surveys for railroads to the Pacific. He was also a forceful advocate for what became the Gadsden Purchase. Britannica QuizAmerican Civil War Quiz

In 1857, after Pierce left office, Davis returned to the Senate. During the period of mounting intersectional strife, Davis spoke widely in both North and South, urging harmony between the sections. In the 1860 presidential election, Davis opposed the candidate of Northern Democrats Stephen A. Douglas, a champion of popular sovereignty, and joined Southern Democrats in supporting John C. Breckinridge, who demanded federal government protection for slave holdings in the territories and ran on a separate ticket. When South Carolina withdrew from the Union in December 1860, Davis still opposed secession, though he believed that the Constitution gave a state the right to withdraw from the original compact of states. He was among those who believed that the newly elected president, Abraham Lincoln, would coerce the South and that the result would be disastrous.

President of the Confederacy

On January 21, 1861, 12 days after Mississippi seceded, Davis made a moving farewell speech in the Senate and pleaded eloquently for peace. Before he reached his Brierfield plantation, he was commissioned a major general to head Mississippi’s armed forces and prepare its defense, but within two weeks the Confederate Convention in Montgomery, Alabama, chose him as provisional president of the Confederacy. Davis was surprised at the news of his election. Unlike many Southern leaders, he had expected war and hoped to become the commander in chief of the Southern armies. In his inaugural address on February 18, 1861, Davis said, in part,

His first act was to send a peace commission to Washington, D.C., to prevent an armed conflict. Lincoln refused to see his emissaries and the next month decided to send armed ships to Charleston, South Carolina, to resupply the beleaguered Union garrison at Fort Sumter. Davis reluctantly ordered the bombardment of the fort (April 12–13), which marked the beginning of the American Civil War. Two days later Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers, a move that brought about the secession of Virginia and three other states from the Union.

Davis faced a dire crisis. A president without precedent, he had to mold a brand-new nation in the midst of a war. With only one-fourth the white population of the Northern states, with a small fraction of the North’s manufacturing capacity, and with inferior railroads, no navy, no powder mills, no shipyard, and an appalling lack of arms and equipment, the South was in poor condition to withstand invasion. But at Bull Run (Manassas, Virginia) on July 21, 1861, the Confederates routed Union forces. In the meantime, with makeshift materials, Davis created factories for producing powder, cannon, side arms, and quartermaster stores. In restored naval yards gunboats were constructed, and the South’s inadequate railroads and rolling stock were patched up repeatedly. Davis sent agents to Europe to buy arms and ammunition, and he dispatched representatives to try to secure recognition from England and France.

Davis made the inspired choice of Robert E. Lee as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia in June 1862. While Davis’s military judgment was occasionally at fault, he wisely gave Lee wide scope in conducting the war over the next three years. Perhaps Davis’s most serious mistake as commander in chief was the excessive importance he attached to defending the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia, at the expense of operations farther west, including the defense of the key Confederate fortress at Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Davis had innumerable troubles during his presidency, including a squabbling Congress, a dissident vice president, Alexander H. Stephens, and the constant opposition of extreme states’ rights advocates, such as North Carolina Gov. Zebulon Vance, who objected vigorously to the conscription law he had enacted over much opposition in 1862. But despite a gradually worsening military situation, unrelieved internal political tensions, a continuing lack of manpower and armament, and skyrocketing inflation, he remained resolute in his determination to carry on the war, and Lee remained both his most valuable field commander and his most loyal personal supporter. Even during the siege of Petersburg, when Lee’s army was immobilized and starving, Davis asserted to an audience in Richmond on February 6
