A good explanation of the crazy-making fact that most of the American economy doesn't actually involve making or selling anything any more. Strong recommendation for "Bad Company". I just read "Barbarians at the Gate" a few months ago, and this is a worthy companion. Thanks @greenwell.bsky.social

"Oh so you like it when AOC rails against elites but you don't like it when RFK Jr. rails against elites?" is utterly brain dead and absolutely EVERYWHERE.

AOC is right that inequality is bad and RFK Jr is wrong that vaccines are bad. It's not hypocritical to like one of them and not the other!!!

if my team won the Super Bowl because we were so good at running the most basic play possible that they had to ban it, I would not stop talking about it until the day I died. Congratulations to Eagles fans everywhere, your team defeated football

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age

You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

RIP, Rickey Henderson. Probably my favorite player of all time.

Felt compelled to share this poem about Rickey Henderson from a collection of found poetry scraped from things Yankee broadcaster Phil Rizzuto said on-air.

@davidjroth.bsky.social @mobute.bsky.social Thought that the two of you might appreciate this glitch. For the last few years, for any album where Apple Music doesn’t have art, the art from Dave & Jeb Aren’t Mean is auto-populated. A ridiculous percentage of my music is attached to the pod logo.
