I run a startup, I take care of six rescue doggies, I sometimes audition for parts I don't get, and I have a novel called The Mattress Factory coming out in January 2027.

one time i was in the elevator going to my own event, next to a woman holding a stack of my books. i was like "we're going to the same place 😏" and she said "i'm so not a fan, but signed copies get more on ebay" and i said "i'm so sorry for what's about to happen"

I go on book tour and very often I go to the venue where the event will be and there is a helpful person near the door asking if I am there for the event. I then have to tell them that I am, in fact, the event. So, no, I don't assume anyone knows who I am, even on tour. And that is perfectly fine.

Yanks + Cash always want things at a discount; which is why we end up with a player who can hit but can’t field. Arraez higher WAR, consistent contact, higher OBP, much better infielder and Yanks can move Jazz to 3rd and have Arraez play 2nd; but Yanks like to shop at the discount rack.

The Dodgers got Skubal for only the 5th and 14th best prospects in their own system alone! And they’ll just pay and keep him in the off season. George was a nut but he wanted to win and wouldn’t keep screwing up like this.

Even if the Yanks didn't "need" Skubal, is our (let's say) 3rd and 11th best prospects worth having him in the playoffs and first dibs on re-signing? Even without bats, Fried / Schlittler / Cole / Skubal would be a matchup against any team, this year or any year -- even the '27 Yankees.

Yanks + Cash always want things at a discount; which is why we end up with a player who can hit but can’t field. Arraez higher WAR, consistent contact, higher OBP, much better infielder and Yanks can move Jazz to 3rd and have Arraez play 2nd; but Yanks like to shop at the discount rack.

No one wants to do a Jay Buhner deal but Arraez is already an all-star! How many prospects in our entire system are going to be all-stars? Maybe 2? I’m sure Cash wanted the additional years of control with Garcia Jr but you’re the Yankees; just pay Arraez!

I'm a fan of the Yankees and it still sucks the Tigers basically can't keep Skubal because of money. At least in the NBA and NFL (less so in the NFL) if both sides want to keep the player / stay -- they're able to do that as well as if they want to leave / cut ties, both sides can do that too.

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

flew to Oklahoma City to interview him about his shoe line. He was contractually obligated to do it. And it was a soft subject. He flipped through a magazine the whole time and wouldn’t even look at me. I got nothing of use. Never been treated so poorly in 20 years of covering every sport.

1. Sources close to the Guthrie family tell Fox News that they had initially wanted to offer a reward when Nancy Guthrie was first abducted, but they were strongly discouraged by the sheriff because it might overwhelm the infrastructure being set up to receive leads.

1. Savannah Guthrie announces she is offering a $1 million reward for info about abduction of her mom, Nancy Guthrie. Savannah also says she is donating $500,000 to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the hopes that other families will get the support she and her family have received.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

“They saw no signs yet that he would part with his namesake sports agency, which he has helmed for over two decades and whose clients have been less vocally critical.” If you’re an athlete who is a Wasserman client you should know that everyone is noticing you’re cool with the Epstein stuff!

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience. Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/
