The best part about growing my one-man business was the day I emailed a bunch of clients one day to say "use this address please" and then the next day "never mind please use my Gmail because webmail sucks" and no one was even remotely surprised

Is it because (ssssssh!) most of them don't actually have anything to announce ... ?

Christina Farr @chrissyfarr

Press releases have become so formulaic that if comms doesn’t evolve to start writing them totally differently, they’ll very quickly become the purview of AI. What if they weren’t all exactly the same? “Company X, the leader in X, is announcing today X…” There’s no rules here.

As someone who's roughly 12 minutes away from the standard (and also an hour) I endorse this approach

Here's the hack to hitting the standard. Start your marathon during the night of Daylight Saving in November so that you're running when the clocks fall back. When 2:00 AM becomes 1:00 AM, BAM! You just saved yourself an hour and you'll be well under the standard.

Recently saw my first Kraft for Mayor sign. It was not in Boston, or even a municipality adjacent to Boston.

There's a place near me that often has a sign out saying "Enjoy your morning coffee!" and opens at ... 10 a.m. It's across the street from a place that opens at 6 and a block from a place that opens at 8. I'm sorry, no one's going to you for your coffee.

My Roman Empire is routinely tracking the "winning" percentage of the White Sox and Rockies to see how few wins they're on track to get this year. I don't know why their struggles fascinate me so much, but they do.

My $0.02 on Shredded Guy discourse is that it's not a coincidence I ran my marathon PR 3 1/2 months after getting divorced ~10 years ago and haven't come within 6 minutes of it since meeting my second wife and getting married.

I cannot think of a better commentary on the state of America than the matchup between two of the most hapless baseball teams of the modern area (Rockies and White Sox) happening on Fourth of July weekend.

That's it, I'm cooked

Plus, your kid's supervised for many hours a day with someone trained to take care of, teach, feed, and socialize children. Yes, we know our son better than anyone, but his teachers can do more than we ever could, and with much more patience at times to boot.

Everyone's saying that 20k a year isn't worth it at a 60k salary a year are missing the fact that kids go to school and daycare prices drop rapidly after and it's really hard to entire the workforce after a prolonged "break". Not saying any of this is ideal but...

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. Yes.

I'm sorry but if you need AI to tell you your takeaways from a meeting then 1) you need to pay better attention but more likely 2) the meeting was managed very poorly and especially 3) you shouldn't have been there in the first place

At the college newspaper we did a big article comparing annual salaries of area college presidents, complete with a chart, and the Jesuit president of Boston College was way down at the bottom at $0

Father Jim Sichko @JimSichko

Pope Francis’s personal wealth at the time of his death was just $100, or less than 90 euros. He had no property, no personal bank accounts, and no investments. According to the British newspaper Mirror, Pope Francis was entitled to an annual salary of about 340,000 euros since

Stop defaulting to 12-point font, Microsoft Word. I'm not yet ready to admit I'm middle aged, OK?

Happy Here Comes the Pizza Day to those who celebrate!! Oh, and happy Marathon Monday, too, I guess.
