The Kingfish

Not only is there a large gang of Brewer fans in the Trop, Chourio just doubled off the Culver’s sign on right field wall!

This flower needs a re-branding

Just watched Ted lasso finale. Really great. I was worried this comeback season would be lame, and while it had its weak parts it was overall very good. Only show I’ve ever watched where I laugh and cry in the same episode.

The Stars & Stripes was the flag of a constitutional democracy, which ended in Jan. ‘25 I no longer fly it and won’t again until the constitution is restored, de jure AND de facto.

I am 58 years old and I got carded for a beer this weekend.

I’m for, in favor of, and partial to the Oxford comma.

Tonight is going to be duck breast with a blackberry pan sauce, roasted beets and carrots, and muchroom risotto. Typically I use dry vermouth for the wine in the rice but considering a red wine this time, just to change it up. Opinions and feedback welcome.

Scott Bessent’s hedge fund assets under management by year

I read The Big Short. And I’ve been trading bonds for 30+ years. I did pretty well in 2008, it was my second best year ever (09 was best). So I never felt a need to see The Big Short movie. Halfway though now, taking a break to say how great it is. I highly recommend both book and film.

Business etiquette question: As a native southerner, saying “sir” and “ma’am” are nearly automatic me, but many women in finance dislike “ma’am” and I can’t blame them. It sounds archaic. I’ve taken to simply saying Ms. X until they say “oh call me ______.” Anyone suggest something less awkward?

Which is the bigger lie, that hash browns can be done with only 2T oil or that they will be done in 15 minutes? Big Spud is lying to us every day!

In my next life, I want Trent Crimm’s hair.

The Last Word Equal parts of gin, chartreuse, lime juice and luxardo cherry liqueur. Shake with ice and serve in a chilled glass.

I use AI every day at work and at home. By AI I of course mean actual intelligence

New season of Ted Lasso. Episode 1: Beautiful. Perfect. Wistful tears. Who knows how the rest of the season goes, but what a fantastic start.

The sweetest dog in the world and the smartest dog in the world.

God bless America and fuck Donald Trump.

Not very long ago I was the kind of patriot who got teary eyed singing the anthem. Now if I had a realistic alternative, I’d leave this country. RIP constitutional democracy, 1788-2025.

At the corner of simplicity and perfection: Pan seared deer steak with mayo and black pepper.

Beautiful day at the ballpark, even if the giants lost. Like sex, baseball is better in the afternoon than at night.

If you ever wondered what third century Rome was like, wonder no more — you’re living in it.

Articles like this confirm my atheism, because if god was real he’d send you someplace good, like Bob Evans.

My initial thought (which I reserve the right to change) is that I'd rather Bondi have stayed. She is a lightning rod for the Epstein files, a good target to pressure for full release. Her replacement (almost surely Blanch as "acting") will be better able to ignore and perhaps ignite the files.

In addition to term limits and more justices, another badly needed SCOTUS reform is relegation. At end of every term the worst justice is mandatorily retired and best appellate judge gets promoted

God I wish there was video. Seeing Trump squirm as he gets smoked in court would be a helluva sight

Thomas up first, how often does that happen??

Mark, if you’re reading this, and if a total stranger’s opinion makes a diff to you, I am parent of a transgender child and I agree with and support your statements on this. We who can read know you what you meant.

NATO, 1949-2025 RIP The org will still pretend to exist for a while. There'll be meetings, they'll tap secretaries general, pay some occasional lip service. But NATO is now the Holy Roman Empire

I haven’t talked to my wife in years. I don’t want to interrupt her.

Beer with a buddy

I asked my wife if I was the only one she’s ever been with. She said yes, the others were nines and tens.

Perhaps the worst branding idea ever.
