The kid Winnipeg got from Buffalo in the first trade looks pretty nice. Dare we believe they might have enough decent shooters to populate more than one (1) line?

The lip injection and large torso tattoo trends (largely separate cohorts) confuse me greatly also. Not that anybody is calibrating to attraction-maxx the likes of me (at least I hope not, lol) but I notice a lot of it on the apps.

E.g. the only two ways to make any money in dairy right now is hyperefficient scale with the nose pressed to the regulatory wall much of the time, or the much harder β€œselling Cadillacs” with the β€œselling” bit left in there *very* purposefully

Exactly; everybody has this cozy vision of artsy whatever but in reality being a craftsman is β€œfuck it, I have 24 of these low bidder things to deliver in a month and this crooked bit can be sanded to get rid of the wobble.”

You absolutely can’t have it all, and I can tell you that all I like and tell you purveyors of this are all full of shit, but you won’t believe me.

Which is fine since the process of learning this all for yourself is also how you discover the things that are actually important to you and why.

Being a clerk is fine, tbh. I think I might get somewhat more existential fulfillment out of being a craftsman who makes luxury goods but the thing about clerking is that you can spend the money and time you’d be workaholic-ing the platonic job in ways that existential fulfill in the aggregate.

It was me!

Some times payroll data is bad. It was bad this month.

But the idea that an economy with 4.4% unemployment, 80.7% prime age employment, and 2.4% inflation is "destroyed" is very silly.

I don’t really *love* the idea of Taylor Decker as a bandaid but seems like the option may be out there soon

But enough about the NHL trade deadline and impending NFL free agency open

What's important to know about TSN's NHL trade deadline coverage is that it's not actually a sports show it's a variety show hosted by James Duthie

Center is not a plug and play job if your QB can’t just backflip through the presnap reads/calls already.

Sort of girding myself for Linderbaum at ~21 now; younger and superior run blocker to Dalman. In terms of fit has the advantage of being much shorter than McGovern (CW being a short QB) and able to take the cognitive load off the quarterback instead of forcing him to carry the weight for a rookie.

If the Jets embrace an identity as a spoiler team in a lost season it will at least be kind of funny and I think I am prepared to settle for maximizing comedic value at this point

The inbred Habsburg failson being the only guy to beat Bonaparte in a one-on-one battle while everyone else absolutely ate shit for like a decade and a half will never not be funny.
