We were a tiny school in central Mass (that’s why I could play) so they didn’t have those delusions, they just hated their ex-wives and lives and took it out on us.

The rest were disinterested teachers or factory guys so at least not objectionable in that regard

Baseball bad, basketball worse, football exactly as you’d expect (one guy was a literal prison guard as day job)

One of my favorite types of guy is Amtrak cafe car guy. This lady today has a special device to open nips with because the Makers Mark specifically was arthrititizing her thumbs. Work didn’t pay for it and I think I’m angrier about that than she is.

I’m gonna start a new kind of search firm for university presidents.
Give me $1000 in cash and a tastefully curated selection of Homefield gear from your school, and I will encourage you to hire the second or third biggest asshole you can find instead of the biggest asshole.

Oh totally. I have a lot of thoughts and a vote in Moulton/Markey but I know it ultimately matters way less for my family than what happens in other states.

Bluesky had me thinking the whole state was talking the senate race 24/7. I saw one sticker in one bar bathroom, otherwise the focus seems entirely on policies and action and daily reality. It reminds me that pontificating about out-of-state primaries is simply a hobby. Dealing with ICE is real life

Been in classical Portland the last few days. Every business has a fuck ICE sign, even the fancy boutiques that might not employ or cater to immigrants and might not want to rock the $ boat. Maine is a very old, very white state that keeps electing Susan Collins, and they all hate these pigs.

I’ve given up on ipa due to living in New England and not enjoying the local variant, also I’m too old for high ABV, but when I find a good west coast one oh man.

I had that for the first time at SFO last year and I can’t remember enough to compare but I remember that I loved it.

Right! It’s pretty genteel.

We stumbled upon a Russian River thing in Maine and I tell you what Pliny is still better than all the other big IPAs.

The 5:20 out of North Station, full of folks from last night who stayed through the B’s matinee, is gonna be beautiful chaos.

Their parents are rehydrating primarily via Boothbay Harbor Juicy IPA.

Train to Portland’s full of middle school Maine dirtbags in Tatum jerseys (and all right, one Pritchard) drilling hot dogs and Gatorade on the way back from Copper’s game at the Garden last night; it’s 20% annoying and 80% endearing.

Red Line’s currently filthy with ads for the state’s lotto app and the disclaimer cracks me up even more than usual. “On the off chance you play Keno on your fuckin phone and also somehow? have a gambling problem? call 1-800”

Oh man if we could get traction with “the REAL violent bigot heroes sit in a giant warehouse in Qatar trying to recharge single-use drone batteries”

Reading a novel set around WWII makes me wonder what war drove the fewest sign-ups. Is there some unspeakable niche perversion that will lead a single guy to say “withdraw my ICE application and fast-forward me to Iran!”?

Liz I love you but this sucks.

This was good!

Mina hate to see me coming because she can tell I’m a guy with way too many questions about names for personnel grouping before we even get to theory, longest flight of her liiiiife.

“Does out-ball-knowing you make a woman more or less hot/cool/fun/worthy of respect?” is a pretty good “2 types of guy” test.

neighborhood guy I’ve known to nod hi to for 20 years falls asleep at the club around dinner time a lot of nights now. Not ideal but he’s friendly and he pays his tab and walks home, so ok. Turns out he’s a 2-shift guy who falls asleep ~10 of the weekly 14. People live so many different ways.

Janet Mills can both suck and be better than the dumbass scallop nazi. This whole race is weird as shit, I grant that, but it’s not complicated

“Idiot dipshit” is the most obvious and important part of it. We can let his friends and family parse that vs actually malicious, because in a civilian idiot dipshit isn’t the worst kinda guy to be. But once it’s established in a senate candidate, voters needn’t sweat the larger character opacities.

Trade the rest of Congress for picks. Rebuild around Omar and Tlaib

We go before all Sox games or Paradise shows because it’s just far enough from each to remain cool

My occupational therapist’s brother owns that place, I love her and the bar!

The puncher’s chance that someday soon we’re saying “Look, you absolutely do not have to hand it to Hezbollah, however”

Why would anything Trump does be "a distraction from Epstein"? What consequences was he in fact facing or at risk of facing? The guy just wanted to blow up Muslims.
