Really didn’t think it was possible to hate Duke more than I already did.

What a shock. Mara Lago Michelle Tafoya lives in Florida "Part time". #maralagomichelle

Do you ever wonder what became of Joey’s hand twin?

The Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers have scored the same number of runs, an MLB leading 452. One team is 55-30, the other? 43-43. Baseballs are round but they come in a square box.

Quick baseball history rabbit hole for you. "Grand slam" sounds like it should mean total domination, right? Turns out the word has a much stranger past than that. I wrote the whole story for my baseball language series, The Game That Remembered Everything.

Submitted for your preorder approval...

The National Association of Boxes of Rocks has asked people to stop comparing them to Tommy Tuberville.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? For me it was Tony Curtis.

If you know to say, “turn it up,” after the third chord in Sweet Home Alabama, you are my kinda people of people.

I had a friend who used dead grandma as an excuse THREE separate times at his job to get off work on nights he wanted to party. By the third time he was just being lazy and unoriginal so he got caught. This post is not about dead grandmothers.

Good riddance. Apple will never remove the stench of Trump thanks to Cook.

Sid Krofft’s passing takes me right back to my Saturday mornings glued to Land of the Lost as a kid. Those wild adventures with the Marshalls, Cha-Ka, and the crazy dinosaurs sparked my imagination. It was pure nostalgic magic from the ’70s. Rest in peace, Sid. Thank you for the timeless wonder.

Welcome home Artemis II crew. I am so very thankful for really smart people out there doing cool shit.

Apple in 2026 is a 1,000 times more evil than IBM ever was in 1984. Add union busting to the list of Cook’s growing list of sins.

My 2028 vote will require a commitment to turn the entire regime over to the Hague.

You don’t accidentally get a Nazi tattoo. Maine beware.

“All authors are using AI now” Not true! I draw on a lifetime of questionable choices.

Did they not teach ECON101 at Wharton when he attended?

Pro sports stadiums? Forty years of peer-reviewed research finds no measurable effect on local income growth. Zero. So which one gets the better public funding deal? Not the airports. systemsunderpressure.substack.com/p/the-stadiu...

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

61 Days. No Charges. No Names. No Justice. It has been two months since Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents just a couple of miles from my front door. Demand accountability. Demand the truth. Justice for Alex Pretti.

someday this mewling pile of crybaby shit will also die and when he does there will be scolds who try to shame participants in the global celebration and when that happens i want you to remember and repeat these four words: “oh DO fuck off”

Terrifying numbers in latest annual survey of federal workers from @ourpublicservice.bsky.social. For example, DoD workers' trust in Hegseth is in the toilet. Only 11.5% of Army employees say their dept's political leaders "maintain high levels of integrity." Similar numbers for Navy, Air Force

Chuck Norris didn’t die. Death finally built up the courage to ask him for a meeting. #RIP

It's goal-setting season in corporate America. Before you finalize any metric, ask yourself: how would a clever, rational person game this number? This week's Systems Under Pressure essay is about the Cobra Effect — what happens when metrics replace reality. 🐍 open.substack.com/.../syste.......

Firing Kristi Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullins is like pooping your pants and running home to change your shirt.

Did I miss the news story about Baron Trump enlisting in the military to support this moral crusade? Anyone Anyone Bueller Bueller Yeah didn’t think so. The rich start the wars. The working class dies in them. Story as old as time.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

What’s the Matter with Kansas? Not the book serious question WTF. Will never understand demonizing people who just want to live their life. Hating their mere existence.

@plutotvca.bsky.social What’s up with all the Fighter and the Kid ads?

Pluto TV has so much love for Brendan Schaub you get to see his face every 15 minutes. The same ad has been playing ad nauseum for over a year. Deleted app because of it. Same commercial on 4 or 5 times an hour for over a year. Yikes. Maybe work on your inventory management.
