I prefer books, newspapers, and magazines. No pop-up ads. It's an incredible feeling. Free at last.

A new survey showed that in almost every large American city, it is cheaper to rent than to buy a home. But nowhere is the gap bigger than in the Bay Area.

There's about 50 guys in the big leagues that can hit MLB pitching. Getting pretty tired of watching batters strike out. Baseball used to be a better product. Pitching is too good. Or maybe it's the big money teams can afford better metrics. Dunno, but this be boring.

White Sox starting pitching. Wow.

I've been in the audience 3 times at Real Time with Bill Maher and they take your cellphones away before you are ushered in. That guy must have snuck in the phone. #BillMaher

Watching White Sox opener yesterday, this team has a very different approach than last year or 2023 so far. Hitters waiting on pitches, going opposite field, defense was sharper, Will Venable pulled pitchers at logical times. There was none of the "weirdness" from the last 2 seasons. #whitesox

Wait. The White Sox looked great today. What's going on? #WhiteSox

Besides Jonathan Livingston Seagull (from the famous novel), and Jerry the Seagull (from Portland), the next most famous seagull has to be the one killed by a Randy Johnson pitch. (Google it if you want to see it, it's kind of sad)
