Talking about one of the worst jingoistic commercials ever.
Dodge commercial: “And never, ever, EVER stop being American!”
ICE knocking at the door: “Sorry, you are no longer considered American. Please turn around so we can zip tie you and your children.”

I was sent a Word file by my broker to sign and return. I've only got my tablet, so to open the file I needed to give MS Copilot access to ALL my files. Screw that. It can wait until I have my laptop.

The truth hurts.
Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan
Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?
CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Scott was one of the best, both as a writer and as a human. Rest, my friend.
No one spread joy like Scott Miller. Truly one of the kindest, most upbeat people I'll ever meet. Loved his family, friends and the game. Honored to work with him at NY Times and MLB Network Radio. He made life better for everyone he knew. Rest easy, Partner.

We had dinner with friends in England tonight and I had to tell them we'd love to host them in Florida, but they probably shouldn't come for a few years.
