If anyone is holding out hope that “deficit hawks” in the House won’t cave and vote for massive tax breaks, social spending cuts and massive deficit spending, I don’t know what planet you’ve been living on…

The world is going to shit in every dimension, but, according to LinkedIn, my profile is getting noticed (!) and 2 viewers have the title of *project manager* (!!)

I don’t see anything wrong with a local wet market operated by the city where suppliers can sell direct to consumers.

In the past 24 hours, Trump’s threatened Elon Musk, Thomas Massie, Japan, a judge in Israel, the CEO of AT&T, Jerome Powell, Canada, Thom Tillis, a Forbes reporter, Harvard, & migrants with being eaten by Burmese pythons in the Everglades, while releasing a new line of colognes.

Outstanding. But where’s the SS leaderboard?! 😉

Who made the CalTrain Mobile app? I want to hire that whole team.

I think the next capitulation will be product shortages and empty store shelves at Walmart. Then layoffs.

Elon is right about one thing: Peter Navarro is indeed dumber than a sack of bricks.

For the love of Michael, foreign countries do not pay the tariffs. We do. Surely anyone qualified enough to work on the CEA knows this.

Trump: if China doesn’t knock it off, I’m going to tax my own people even more!

I think I found the problem. It’s this guy.

Is there any word in English that fails to live up to its meaning more than “monosyllabic?”

In my veins please

$3000 is on the low end

Patrick Mahomes and the secrets of the Dad Bod: What we get wrong about athleticism Patrick Mahomes and Nikola Jokić aren't just superstars. They challenge us to better understand the hidden secrets of athleticism.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

The Avis Preferred experience does not work like the commercials.

That was my strategy. It stopped working around my 15th birthday.

I feel like the dam has burst with the Baseball HoF. How about a really big HoF with almost everyone of significance (welcome Dwight Evans, Bobby Grich, Kenny Lofton, Andruw Jones et al.)?

But then a “Top 100 club” with a strict budget? So to put, say, Ichiro in, someone would have to come out.

Airport bar > airport lounge

Quick poll. Which is most likely?

1) The US bans Red Book, too

2) China bans foreigners from using Red Book (e.g., requires Chinese phone number)

3) Both!

4) Neither!

The Broncos look like they broke out of county and then found a box of white football jerseys to disguise themselves.

Threads is awful. I don’t think I could invent a less fun set of posts to interact with. It’s literally stressful to read the timeline, akin to the emotional stress that therapists endure in the course of their practice.

I feel like that would be more consistent with the spirit of WAR as a measure of value (setting the baseline for WAR at the point where $/win become linear).

Oh nice! Great to finally see some code around this idea. Always a fan!

Um, it’s awfully quiet. I wasn’t trying to break news, so now I’m not sure.

Apparently, this one little SkyWest regional flight from SEA to SFO (delayed) was the linchpin of Delta’s entire Seattle operation this morning.
