Michael Mitchell

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

They really, really should have taken Kurtz, though.

You, talking about Graham Platner

Me, thinking about Phil Plantier

This is truly the late 90s Mike & The Mad Dog vibe. Perfect delivery.

I got 9 out of 10 teams correct. Celtics out, Spurs in.

This tweet works equally well if you read “Al” as his dad or artificial intelligence.

Jim Crane: frugal in the winter, the Steve Cohen of the deadline.

“Ashton Izzi” is one of those pitcher names where the guy should definitely be left-handed, but he’s not.

Always fun when two ultra-shithead public evangelical types get divorced and they have to say stuff like "as a biblical man,"

Hey, he got pitch 2!

Could probably go Nuggets/Spurs if you want Wemby over Flagg+AD.

NBA Christmas:

5 PM: Nuggets/Mavericks
7:30 PM: Thunder/Rockets
10 PM: Lakers/Warriors

Ah, crap. Forgot his found work this past week.

16/18. Castellanos the other.

17 of these 20 players are out of MLB/retired. 17-of-18 position players.

It’ll fit perfectly on my tombstone.

Lance will be back “soon”. Just an abundance of caution.

Over/under July 20th for his next start?

I just found out that JoMarie Payton left Family Matters during the final season after a fight on set with Jaleel White. Gonna go down this rabbit hole for 20 minutes now.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Alex Cora gets treated as this unique managerial savant, but his team is bad in every way a poorly managed team would be bad:

Good Astros/Rays game. My Jeremy Peña over 1.5 HR/Zack Littell over 8.2 IP parlay came in. $20 to win $6.3M.

You are misreading who I’m making fun of here. I’m mocking the anti-Altuve know-nothings.

I think it’s both. The deal where you show up to a stable union job a couple miles away and get to own a decent house is gone (and was only ever real in New England and the Upper Midwest). So there’s a desperation to make it some other way.

And also boredom, desire for risk/thrill in our culture.

This is the core leftist problem. Struggling Americans want to be entrepreneurs, not unionized laborers with collectively bargained security and guaranteed issue pensions.

The right has won the economic culture war in that way.

A calm Sunday afternoon going through Russ Adams and Seth Beer splits.

L&O:SVU guest star ass sixth man.

Good argument that Skubal’s start against the Guardians today was the single best regular season start in recent history.
