Colleague brought me a bánh mì from food truck down street. It was - at best - a bánh mì *inspired* sandwich and more of a panini, but the protein was pork belly and it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Truck is gone tho and my colleague didn't get the name, so now I'll be haunted by it 😭

I'll be in touch 2-3 weeks in advance to land on a recording date. Thanks to everyone who's come thru and all y'all listening🙏🏾

Along similar lines, the 1990 Oakland A's won the AL pennant and that was that. For reasons lost to time, the World Series was not played that year. Not enough people talk about that

A policy I embrace and will employ here: TV shows end when I decide they end. And Ted Lasso ended. They landed the plane. It's done. There's a new season you say? Funny, I've got a TV that doesn't seem to pick up that signal. Must be faulty. Ah well.

And, it is considerably safer than it was 40 years ago. There are so many additional safety procedures and additional equipment to make the flights safer. Plus, people actually listen to the flight attendants as safety personnel instead of treating them like sexy waitresses.

Air travel has gotten significantly better. There is NO SMOKING on flights. I remember flying as a kid with people smoking in the same row. It was terrible. People complain about delays, but there are considerably more flights now & not a lot more runways. Lower prices have democratized flying.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

dorian @doriantaylor.com air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*? like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*? 2:58 PM Aug 4, 2026

This 100% is my opinion on the lockout right down to the fans and the number of games likely to be missed

Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · yesterday

Someone asked me how I think the lockout is gonna go. I gave my best stab. I think it'd take a major change in the way the sides usually operate for me change my mind about this. Also: public opinion doesn't matter and "fans' rights" are not a thing. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Q: Baseball is headed to a lockout in the Spring. Do you have any opinion on how this is going to play out? I get the feeling we're in for a long one based on what's in the court of public opinion already. A: The key thing to understand in all of this is that public opinion does not matter. The owners want it to matter and have spent a lot of time and effort to try to sway public opinion, but that’s been a waste of time and effort. The players will make a deal or not based on whether they think it’s a good deal, not what you or I think. The owners will make a deal or not based on whether they can continue to withstand revenue loss, not what you or I think. And I’m fine with that. This is their industry, not ours, even if we get enjoyment from it. Maybe this is the subject of another rant, but I hate the whole notion of “fan’s rights.” They make a product and we choose to consume it or not. Rights never enter into it, and pretending they do always rubs me the wrong way. When I say the players and the owners “don’’t care what the fans think” it’s a neutral statement, not one that comes from a place of grievance.

Need 10 of you to join me for an “Ocean’s 11” style heist. Since Garret lives in Texas, the plan is simple: unload a dump truck filled with those weird gas station brisket sandwiches in his front yard. While his whole family is devouring them, we go in his house and *yoink*

Garret Heinrich@garretheinrich.bsky.social · 2d ago

My dad keeps enticing @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social for a heist…adding more things. And now they are displayed in the guest room. I entered and said: “oooo my stuff”

A wall of athletics memorabilia I will inherit
