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

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...

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

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.

Had a 3-year-old ask me "Why are you running?" and my answer was "That's an excellent question!" and not "Kid, I've been doing this for almost 30 years and I *still* don't know why"

This is also why I never feel bad asking for, like, 24 more hours if I need it. The odds it's time sensitive are close to nil - and if it IS, any halfway decent editor has communicated that with you. (Was also an editor of freelance work when I had a FT job. Same was true then.)

I want the NBA single-game scoring record to go down this weekend. I want some game to end 190-187 in triple overtime with a random bench guy scoring 36 on 12 3s from the 4th quarter onward. Is that too much to ask?

🚨New* client alert!🚨 My latest byline is for @TechTargetNews and it's about AI trends in healthcare. Give it a look-see. https://t.co/r8TA5gFjMr * Technically an old client, as I worked there from 2005 to 2012. They even kept my bio page active. Updated the headshot, though.

Honestly happy to no longer be a research analyst in healthcare tech these days - sitting through 345 demos of AI agents would be about as much fin as watching paint dry.
