Apparently the New York Times doesn’t like to use the T-word to talk about people being tortured, so a helpful blogger offers a few suggestions for alternatives!
Found via Clarisse Thorn, who observes, “my mind immediately went to how these euphemisms could be used BDSM-wise.” :-D

Today’s scores updates as a soccer (baseball) analogy.
Injury time is still being played (or, still got one batter left in the top of the 9th), but here’s the approximate scoring updates from today so far - minutes/innings are approximations for how it feels as well as proportion through my day when the scoring happened:
11’ Snowdrop 1 - 0 The Universe (Top of the 1st)
14’ Snowdrop 2 - 0 The Universe (Top of the 1st)
22’ Snowdrop 2 - 1 The Universe (Top of the 2nd)
23’ Snowdrop 3 - 1 The Universe (Bottom of the 2nd)
27’ Snowdrop 3 - 2 The Universe (Bottom of the 3rd)
HALF TIME SCORE: Snowdrop 3 - 2 The Universe
82’ Snowdrop 3 - 3 The Universe (Bottom of the 8th, home run with runners on 1st and 2nd)
83’ Snowdrop 3 - 4 The Universe (See above)
85’ Snowdrop 3 - 5 The Universe (See above)
90’+2 Snowdrop 4 - 5 The Universe (Top of the 9th)
No, I’m not going to explain what the events are to which each score corresponds.
