In college in ‘92 we read The Power and the Glory and I asked the prof if the author was the guy from Dances with Wolves. He shot me a look of pity.

Pet Peeve. Don’t need to use the word “successfully” when telling us a player reached base 5 times or got a hit or whatever. It’s redundant. “(Player X) has hit successfully in seven of his last ten games”. You can’t get on base unsuccessfully. Brevity matters.

Why is the Athletic the one media site that can never remember that I am a subscriber? Every time I click a link I have to login again. Every time.

Was at this game and Tigers fans came thru with proper respect for a longtime division rival.

There's no need for a heart emoji on a corporate version of Teams

Yikes. The year I got married. I’m still figuring life out.

Working in the office today. 3 people have been standing and chatting at a high top table for 45 minutes “collaborating”. This is like trying to work in an airport.

I was genuinely happy with how it turned out with the 3 friends. Women can be their own and each others worst critics. Glad to see them reconcile that.

And stations are legally required to cut in. They have no choice in the matter.

Tigers are a .500 team. Some breaks and they can make the playoffs. Could easily go the other way. Have to always remember, the best teams still lose 3 times a week. Can't go ape shit every time something bad happens. This isn't football.

between Scarface and Color Of Money, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is the queen of lounging around in only underwear and an unbottoned top.

The highlight of my morning so far was seeing a colleague say "Let's see if we can cover this in an email rather than a meeting" when rejecting a blanket meeting request sent to a bunch of people that in the end had nothing to do with the subject at hand and we threw it to another group.

I don't understand the context of Hoover and Nixon? He died in 1964. I never knew the depths of Agnew's corruption until that Maddow podcast "Bagman" few years ago. Guy took literal sacks of cash in the White House. I always thought it was just his time in MD that the probe was about.

Watching the answering machine scene from Swingers… so painful.

This book led to me to do a rewatch over the holiday break. I liked it much better the second time since we could focus on just the story and not worry about finding links to BB or anxity over "what happens to Kim?". Thanks and I look forward to reading it. Already pre-ordered.

I know nothing about football but if the Lions want to bring Robert Saleh in as DC, him being from Dearborn should not be a factor in that decision in any way. He's been in the league long enough for them to make anotherwise informed opinion.

Having a 2018 KBS, the last of that in which i made a special attempt, either a lottery or presale to get. I found it behind a box in the basement. It holds up. Of course the thrill is gone since it’s widely available now and there’s a million bourbon stouts out there.

I follow an account called Charlie’s 80s Attic station that routinely posts “this week in 1986” type lists. I will make a playlist, even songs I dont care for and will force myself to listen.

Pitchers and catchers report in 25 more days

When was the last time you were this mad after a lions loss?

The lions are going to lose. It’s cold as fuck the next week. DJT starts on Monday. And it’s going to be gray and cloudy and cold for 10 more weeks. This sucks.

My son is deaf so thank you.

Watching almost famous. This movie never gets old.

BURR: “The winds moved. I feel lucky. I think everybody did a great job- unlike the Internet + all these *fire experts*.”

Bill defends folks trying to handle an impossible fire situation, mocks keyboard warriors calling it “mismanaged”, blaming the homeless, etc (i.e. Joe Rogan)

Ric Flair getting a workout at the wings game. Woo! 6-0 in 2nd

Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter agreed to do each other's eulogies. Ford died first so now his son is reading what he would have said if Jimmy Carter had died first. Good stuff.

Watching the Carter funeral... Dubya doesn't have his girlfriend Michelle there. She must be sick. Obama flying solo. Saw him chatting it up with DJT, they were smiling.

SNL’s five timer club needs to be adjusted for inflation. Too many members.

On Nate’s CBS Christmas special the other night they did a good play on it. Day was on that one as well.

When does Mikey Day start getting some love for an all time SNL cast member? Not saying he’s on their Mt Rushmore or anything but he’s been pretty good for a long time now.
