Amazing outdoor baseball weather, but the twins couldn’t pull out the win against the best team in the AL.

For some reason, turntables bring out both the best and worst aesthetic impulses in manufacturers. The most expensive record players are often horrifying mishmashes of glass, metal and ceramic, as subtle as a jeweled crown, screaming to be noticed. Meanwhile, cheap record players have an ability to veer into “toy” territory very quickly — and will likely destroy your records and ears in the process.
I must have beautiful piece of hardware… Nevermind I only have 1 LP.

Incredible Diagrams Show How Human Technology Has Taken Over The Planet
Earlier this week, the United Nations Populations Fund revealed that by October 31st, there will be an extra billion people on the Earth compared to 1999. According to the UN it has been estimated of all the humans ever born, over 6 per cent, are walking the Earth today.
‘These pictures show several sides of global human activities,’ said 34-year-old Felix, from Montreal, Canada. ‘We see everything from paved and unpaved roads, light pollution, railways, electricity transmission lines.’ ‘It shows the extent of our civilisation, the patterns of our global sprawl, how human-influenced our planet now is.’
‘I thought there would be huge strengths associated with global pictures depicting how far we’ve been at colonising, domesticating and transforming our home planet. I started to gather data from numerous sources and to explore ways of assembling them. We’ve seen similar pictures in movies like Star Wars, Contact, Avatar and the likes but I have never seen realistic renderings for our Earth. So I thought - why not try to make some?
