I like you anyway.

A thing I just learned: the head of the UK division of Palantir Technologies is the grandson of notorious British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley.

One of my many faults is that when I watch baseball I develop an irrational hatred for people I think are annoying in the seats directly behind home plate. There’s almost always someone who catches my eye because they aren’t paying attention and I get way too focused on hating them.

Same

He can have the remaining payments on Franks contract.

Among my many faults is that once I write someone off due to a bad opinion, it’s a permanent decision. So those podcasts can become evAngelists and reverse all their opinions on Ange and I’ll never know because they’ve already lost me forever.

I couldn’t let that one go. I turned and gave him my best skeptical stare. Surprisingly, it worked.

Made it about half way through. Good conversation! Glad you have me listening… I really enjoy the hosts and will make this a regular listen.

Might listen in the van with the boys on our way to away events.

Ha. I downloaded it yesterday…it’s scheduled for this afternoon.

For anyone in the Chicago area today, several of us (and a guy by the name of Matt Forte) will be at the Lincoln Park Conservatory from 4-5p. First 100 fans get a hard copy of "The Beast," and Dane Brugler himself will be there! (And @robertmays.bsky.social)

Unfinished Sympathy

As I’ve gotten older I’ve become more and more resistant to our cultural pressure to squeeze the most efficiency from our time and maximize results in every opportunity.

It’s ok to just enjoy doing something slowly or inefficiently and without the desire to turn it into a profit center.

You sure you can handle the whole hand?

I’m doing it now. Is it working?

I have a kettle.

What is a microwave?

Good show. I’m afraid I disagree about building the team around Xavi because that mindset is what gets us in trouble to begin with. We need to build a team to match the way we want to play football and hopefully that will include Xavi.

“…a body built by McDonald’s doesn’t need to be athletic to cheat at golf.”

But any time a player tried to get him as a partner for a Pro-Am the tournament organizers had to politely suggest the player find someone else who was less likely to flagrantly and publicly cheat.

This is why he makes such a big show of only playing on his own courses. No one else will have him.
