Worse… I would wager he gave himself that nickname. Not very manly.

What a voice. What a soul. What a life in music. Rest well.

Yeah, cool, did he say why he flew on Epstein’s plane?

Buy 2-3 Senators. Use your money to work the system or shut the fuck up.

Had a dream that I got my car stolen. Car magically reappears with driver’s side door open and snow piled on the front seat. Never lost track of the key fob. Have at it, Dr. Freud.

Kudos to the comms team at HHS, acting on the order, β€œHey, write some bullshit that credits public health and makes it look like I care.”

Is part of the problem that none of the laws and norms being flouted carry specific penalties? Like what really happens when you violate the emoluments clause?

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

And, as I, a sports meathead that can only relate to the world in that way, am happy to point out, he bankrupted an entire American football league in the only country that plays the sport.

Re: The managerial experience: He told a reporter in the Quad Cities that, β€œAs a player, when you get frustrated you bear down and make a play. As a manager? You prepare your guys as best you can, and when they come up short, it just boils over. You yell at the ump. You get tossed.”

My second-favorite Ryne Sandberg fact is that he was the β€œand a prospect” in the Larry Bowa-Ivan DeJesus trade. My favorite is that he solo-homered in my first in-person pro sporting event, an 11-3 loss to the Expos on September 11, 1982. I’ll never forget, Ryno.

I would love to see every CONCACAF, CONMEBOL and AFCON federation boycott the Cup in light of the lack of safety for participating teams. And it’ll have to happen at the fed level.

Poor South Carolina. Their Senators are a sellout closet case and an Uncle Tom.

3. He stopped by one day and jammed with the jazz ensemble (he was from Rochester, knew our director). Could not have been a bigger asshole. Apparently thought he’d be playing with pros and not a crew of mus.ed. majors and casuals. Yelled at us a bunch for no reason. Rest easy, bro. 3/3

2. During my time at Syracuse, the basketball game band (Sour Sitrus Society) played a cocaine-speed rendition of his groover β€œMain Squeeze” to open up the program, every game, about 30 minutes to tip. We knew it was time to play. 2/3

<β€”Former trumpet player of a Certain Age, on Chuck Mangione (RIP)…
1. Changed the music business game, like passionately profited off his own work, suffered no fools in the boardroom or studio. If you ever heard β€œFeels So Good” in the grocery, he earned a cut of it. 1/3

Mea culpa. I didn’t fact-check my bio prof because I just flat wanted to get my C and move on. Thanks for the education.

Nah, dolphins and humans are the only animals that have sex for pleasure.
I remembered precious little from college bio, but I remembered the stuff the prof said to make sure we were paying attention.
