it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Doesn’t break my heart that the HOF committee passed on Bill Belichick this year. Not my favorite guy. But I can’t help but believe they’re clearing the deck for billionaire Robert Kraft, who more unlikable and infinitely less worthy. Our hunger to lionize billionaires will never stop baffling me.

José Ramírez re-signed with Cleveland this weekend. On paper, he definitely appears underpaid, but maybe that wasn't the real focus of this contract.
