The League Sheds Spotlight on Complicated History of Great American Pastime

We all know the names Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson. But, did you know they are all products of The League? #theleague #documentary

One of my fondest memories growing up in Missouri was looking forward to a program run by Anheuser Busch for young baseball fans.  If a student received  ‘Straight A’s,”  the reward was a season pass to the St. Louis Cardinals season. It was a great incentive to do well in school, but for a die hard baseball fan like myself it meant everything!  I got to see Mel Gray, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, Bob…

if there’s one thing about me, i love an alignment chart

Peter Pan/pied piper/white rabbit metaphor for eight is absolutely elite. He seduces you into flying away with him. He's the one who leads you astray. It's fun for a while, it's lovely. Then you get to know him, and he is one of the most powerful and careless people in the universe, but becoming dependent on him feels like the most natural thing in the world, like dancing. It's all fine while he's still holding your hand. You won't even realize you're about to die until he lets you go.

You wonder if this was the plan all along.

Y'know, I've seen people commenting on Millie's slight resemblance to Jenna Coleman before, but after putting together those gifs for the last post, I'm weirdly suddenly seeing a lot of India Fisher in her face too.

More of the shenanigans that went on yesterday in the NFL. All these signings are pending until tomorrow, Wednesday, March 13 at 4 pm when the 2024 league year officially begins.

Showdown 2k25 - Submit Propaganda

Just like last year I want to kick January off with a flat popularity contest, showdown 2k25. (<- I wrote that in December before my laptop packed up, it'll now be after whenever I manage to get my laptop fixed)

Automatically competing - everyone from last year (list), with the following exceptions

Last years winner - Donna Noble

Rose Tyler as the 2023 winner, not going to start reintroducing winners at least until a non RTD companion wins, and I reckon that'll be next year, I think Martha is going to take this one

The TARDIS. I get it, it goes against my every instinct to exclude her, and while she didn't win the popularity contest I did include her in, it just doesn't feel fair, she transcends compaiondom.

Rules for new nominees (tardis wiki list referenced below)

Anyone on the list will automatically be accepted

TV companions MUST be on the list

EU companions not on the list will be considered on a case by case basis. If they meet a reasonable definition of companion I will accept them, basic guideline is has their own tardis wiki article so I can actually check, multiple stories with the Doctor, none of these guidelines are hard rules, if you can justify them to me (and I can follow the argument), I'll let them in

Propaganda is not carrying over from last year, if you want to go to bat for someone, use this same form - (There isn't a lot at the moment so more would be appreciated, you can check the list under the cut for who hasn't got any if you want, but multiple sets for one character is also good)

You can use this form to make multiple nominations/give multiple bits of propaganda at once.

Nominations will likely close at the end of February/beginning of Marhc, I'll give a definitive date once I have access to my laptop again.

list of (165) competitors, anyone in green has propaganda submitted for them (39) - this list is likely not up to date as it's difficult to keep on top of without access to my laptop
