I think I would be sworn in on a stack of Calvin and Hobbes books
Watch this—love seeing what people have sworn in on other than the Bible.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

I have a lot of goals for 2026 but one big one is that I want to go on more shows (podcasts, livestreams, actual shows, idc) to yell about baseball economics. too many dweebs out there have on unqualified men who don't even have an academic background in economics unlike me, an idiot who does

My club, Reading, was saved from the clutches of Dai Yonge. The very real existential dread the club lived through was finally over.

The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine is a joy
Hoping Against Hope by Tom McRae is an ember in the darkness. Repeat after me : "It's gonna be okay"
Cheer Up (You Miserable Fuck) by David Ford is a surprisingly uplifting singalong
I Don't Care What You Call Me by David Ford is a song to wallow in

Game's coast-to-coast remix of "One Blood". MAYBE one bad verse in close to 12 minutes. Maybe.
What is a song......

Once walked past Ronnie Corbett in Fortnum and Mason while on a trip to London
Worked at a frozen yogurt shop near the water in Long Beach back in the day. Served 1980s TV royalty Vicki Lawrence, Jennilee Harrison and Linda Evans over the years
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Reading finish the year in 10th place on 29 points. 8 points short of the playoffs and ONLY THREE POINTS ABOVE THE RELEGATION ZONE. League One is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma this year #ReadingFC

If you are voting in King Felix, you have my backing 👑🔱
Something has to change with baseball HOF voting.
There’s a veteran’s committee because the voters don’t get it right.
The voters being the story over the potential inductees only happens in this sport.
Maybe the best fix is just that I get to choose. I promise I won’t eff it up.
