@milloswiftie It’s an amazing song. Brian Wilson had Mike, himself and Al sing it but decided Carl, who did mostly background vocals, was the best fit.

Según Paul, es de las mejores canciones que escribió en su vida. Inspirada en Pet Sounds y con una sencillez impresionante, este tema vio su lugar en el disco. Incluso John la elogió años después. En medio de tanto experimento es perfecta desde la simpleza

@countyhwy @walterkirn Walter and Matt got me reading books in 2025. Changes a lot.
Got a dopamine surge when I saw my issue in the mailbox today.

@Zigmanfreud You have an often amazingly accurate BS detector.
It looks like you’re above the target on this one. Be careful.

@AndrewPollackFL God! I sure could use Scott’s voice in the morning now.

One After 909 retweetet

Dodger pitcher Jerry Reuss was in a tight ball game.
Tommy Lasorda went out to the mound with the intent to pull Reuss out of the game.
Of course, Reuss wanted to continue to pitch.
As Lasorda and Reuss were going back and forth about his staying or going, catcher Steve Yeager finally made it to the mound. Lasorda told Reuss that he would put it to a vote and be Democratic about it.
Lasorda voted to pull Reuss.
Reuss naturally said he wanted to pitch. With Yeager by his side, Reuss figured he had this in the bag.
Lasorda asked Yeager what he thought, and Yeager said:
"Shit, I would have pulled him two innings ago."
"The Conference On The Mound"

@OwenGregorian @SergioInTucson THATS the drone I’ve been looking for!!!

it took me a rewatch of Breaking Bad to catch this…
For the longest time, I thought Gus killing Victor was just him being cold and ruthless. But it actually makes a lot more sense when you think about it.
Victor was seen at Gale’s apartment the night he was killed. That means if the police started asking questions or a sketch got released, Victor could’ve led straight back to Gus and the lab. At that point, he was a walking liability.
So Gus removed the risk before it could become a problem.
And at the same time, he sent a crystal-clear message to Walt and Jesse: nobody is indispensable.

@alt_w_v_g I don’t believe any of this. It’s just too “on the nose”.

Went to the doctor the other week
My wife made the appointment
She said I "look tired"
I said I am tired
She said "not normal tired. Weird tired."
I don't know what that means but I went anyway
Nice office
Fish tank in the lobby
Third one this year
Signed in at 1:48pm
My appointment was at 2:00pm
12 minutes early
Because I was raised to believe that matters
The receptionist said "the doctor is running a little behind"
I said "how far behind"
She said "about 45 minutes"
I said "so my 2:00 appointment is actually a 2:45 appointment"
She said "we appreciate your patience"
I said "I haven't shown any yet"
My wife grabbed my arm
There was a sign behind the desk
"Missed appointments without 24-hour notice will incur a $75 fee"
The doctor was 45 minutes late
Nobody offered me $75
We sat down
CNN was playing on mute with subtitles
Running a segment about New York City redesigning its trash cans
Cost the city $4 million
I looked at my wife
She said "don't start"
Seven magazines on the table
All from 2019
I read an article about supply chain disruptions that have since been resolved
Very informative
My wife was on her phone
She looked up and said "WebMD says you might be dehydrated"
I said "so we're paying $1,800 for a second opinion on WebMD"
She went back to her phone
At 2:54pm they called my name
A nurse walked me to a room
Took my blood pressure
Took my temperature
Typed for three minutes
Then said "the doctor will be right in"
I sat on the paper
The paper ripped immediately
I looked at the wall
There was a diagram of a colon
Not how I planned to spend my Tuesday
3:19pm
The doctor walked in
1 hour and 19 minutes after my scheduled appointment
He was looking at his phone
Shook my hand without making eye contact
Sat down and read my chart for about 30 seconds
While I sat there watching him learn who I was
He said "so what brings you in today"
I said "my wife thinks I look weird tired"
He said "what does that mean"
I said "I was hoping you'd tell me"
He said "when's the last time you had bloodwork done"
I said "2019 maybe"
He said "we should run a full panel"
I said "fine"
He asked if I was sleeping well
I said "I have three kids and a golden retriever who thinks 3am is a reasonable time to need outside"
He said "are you drinking enough water"
I said "probably not"
He said "that might be it"
I said "you think the reason I look weird tired is because I don't drink enough water"
He said "dehydration is more common than people think"
I said "I've been here over an hour and sat on a piece of paper that ripped to be told to drink water"
He said "we'll know more when the bloodwork comes back"
I said "when will that be"
He said "3 to 5 business days"
I said "business days"
He said "yes"
I said "my blood has business days"
He didn't respond
Then he said "any other concerns"
I said "several. But none you can bill for."
He shook my hand again
Still no eye contact
Total face time with the doctor: 6 minutes
Total time in the building: 1 hour and 37 minutes
I was examined for approximately 6% of the time I was present
I've fired people for better numbers than that
My wife was in the waiting room
She asked how it went
I said "I need to drink water"
She said "I told you that last week"
I said "yes but now it's a medical opinion so it costs $1,800"
She didn't laugh
In the car she said "at least now you know you're fine"
I said "I was fine when I walked in. I just didn't have the receipt to prove it."
She didn't disagree
The bloodwork came back four business days later
Everything was normal
The doctor's office sent a message through their portal
It said "results look great. Continue to stay hydrated and follow up in 12 months."
Follow up in 12 months
To be told to drink water again
$1,800
1 hour and 37 minutes
6 minutes of face time
One ripped piece of paper
And the same advice my wife gave me for free
Plz fix. Thx.

@dpshow 5 star recruits are a dime a dozen. There is one Matt Leinert and he was the greatest.

"Really, coaching is simplicity.
It's getting players to play better than they think that they can."
Tom Landry.
Piloting a B-17 Flying Fortress, Tom Landry often flew missions deep into enemy territory and frequently returned his aircraft with minimum fuel.
Between 1944 and 1945, Landry distinguished himself by flying 30 combat missions over heavily defended targets.
Landry also survived a crash landing in Belgium after his bomber ran out of fuel. Landry returned to his studies at the
University of Texas in the fall of 1946. University of Texas quarterbacks Bobby (The Blonde Bomber) Layne, Paul Campbell and Tom Landry.
"Bobby Layne demanded only the best and would accept only the best.
Here is a man who was a general on the field and off the field in every way.
He was the greatest two-minute quarterback I have ever seen.
If you ever missed a block, Bobby Layne made sure everybody knew about it.
Guys on the field, guys on the bench, everybody in the stadium knew it.
He’d call you right out of the huddle.
He would stand there, raving at you and shaking a finger in your face, and you wanted to punch him.
A couple of times, we had to grab people to keep them from hitting Bobby."
Doak Walker.
Just as Layne started right away as a freshman Texas quarterback, Bobby Layne started on the Longhorns baseball team as a freshman pitcher in 1944.
In 1945, the sophomore fanned so many batters that he set a conference strikeout record that would last three decades.
That same year, Bobby Layne also tossed two no-hitters, the first two “no-nos” in the history of Longhorns baseball.
He dominated for four years on the mound and once had 28 straight wins on the way to a 35-3 overall record.
By graduation, Layne had a career average of 10.78 strikeouts per contest, was a four-time All-SWC pitcher, and helped Texas to three straight conference baseball Championships between 1946 and 1948. ”When Bobby said, ‘Block,’ you blocked. And when Bobby Layne said, ‘Drink,’ you drank.”
Yale Lary.
