If you can't imagine you could be wrong, what is the point of democracy? And if you can't imagine how or why others think differently, then how could you tolerate democracy? - Deborah Meier, highlighted in "A More Beautiful Question" #ListerLibrary

Are you free Tuesday? Me: yes free between 9-11am. Ok, great! *doesn’t send invite* Calls Tuesday at 11:45. How do these people function?

The delay between MLB season end and awards seems like a year.

Today was the worst market decline since the last one you don’t remember or care about anymore.

Don't check the market

It shocks me the amount of neighborhood posts complaining about cars getting broken into when 99% of the time it could be solved by PARKING IN YOUR GARAGE.

The best season ticket salespeople play on Sundays. And they’re terrible.

I have never so much negativity from a fan base about a brand new stadium before. Not a good start for the "New" Nissan Stadium. @Titans y'all better have some sharks out there as your ticket sales reps.

If anyone disagrees I guess they didn’t see literally every post-game speech by Pat in the Brewers clubhouse mentioning Bob Eucker.

The closest relationship a fan base in any sport has with a media broadcast team is the local radio baseball broadcast team, and I don’t believe it’s close. He’s wrong!

Twix is probably my favorite candy bar that I don’t think about grabbing on a regular basis.

I think this is a pretty good trade for both teams actually.

If there is one thing I will teach my kids it is JUST ASK THE QUESTION DIRECTLY ON TEAMS, No need for a "how are you" ...I'm not responding to that.

Trinidad is the most overrated QB in the country.

Explain how having non-conference referees would end the conflict. Oh, suddenly the SEC referees favor the lower-ranked team. There is perceived conflict either way.

Tens of millions of dollars in CFP money are at stake, yet conferences are allowed to officiate games involving their own playoff contenders. After the Texas Tech targeting reversal, we need a serious conversation about the massive conflict of interest here.

A little fun Sunday

Re-watching Casper. Had no idea (or forgot) Squints was in it.

After my digital forensic analysis, “it’s clearly not a swing” 😂

This is how replay review would’ve looked if MLB allowed you to challenge a check swing (which they 100% should). As I said… it’s very clearly not a swing.

Leg day - what’s on the schedule for you?

“Are you free for a call Wednesday at noon?” Did you bother to check the calendar?

I've received quotes that were outrageous from people driving 25 year old trucks with bald tires. If the quote is reasonable and you do quality work, I couldn't care less what you drive.

Look… I think Cybertrucks are cool. I like Teslas, I owned one. But… I think they’re one of the worst vehicles you can pick to put company graphics on, and it’s becoming common to see. Your company vehicle choice goes beyond what’s cool, what’s needed, or what saves money on fuel. It also needs to align with what a customer expects to see pull in their driveway. Your choice makes a first impression of your business. If you sell high end custom home cinema experiences, sure… get a Cybertruck, but for everyone else… no. I know you can get these relatively affordably now, but most people still see Tesla as a luxury brand. Would you buy a roof from someone who shows up to give you a quote driving a Lamborghini? Probably not. You’d be pretty suspicious of their price. Seems like an extreme example, but to non car people, they know excess and practical. Tesla is still seen as excess. They’re cool trucks, but they don’t match what I’d expect someone to drive who shows up to quote my roof, lawn, or patio.
