A worthy read during these trying times.

@b_miklasz @MattSnyderCBS @YouTube and “if you don’t come, it’ll only make us have to hurt YOU by pinching the purse strings.” Fans know the economics of the game, but rubbing that in our faces as billions and millionaires is a hard thing to swallow in a working class town. Just my $.02.

@b_miklasz @MattSnyderCBS @YouTube I do put a lot of this on the DeWitts and the FO for perpetuating this idea that the fans are spoiled regardless of whether we are. I think fans would’ve been understanding of a rebuild if handled with humility and honesty. Instead it’s been “be patient,”

Bernie Show: A national baseball writer calls out #STLCards fans. Does @MattSnyderCBS have a point? I think he does. youtu.be/kwVfEt6vVP4?si… via @YouTube

@Cardinals WAY TO GO, DONNIE!

@nut_history Mike Hermantrout, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.

In your opinion, who's the greatest secondary TV show character of all-time?

Thanks @b_miklasz and @williamfleitch for getting me ready for today. Let’s play ball.

@JonahDispatch Just curious, would you include audio books as “reading a book?”

Interesting. I wonder how many books the median American reads. No way it’s that high, right?

@JonahDispatch Loved Black Doves. Sam stole the show, imo, and the lady assassins deserve a spin-off. I will say, out of sheer nit-pickery, that the UK’s sub-30 person gun homicide rate was eclipsed in one episode. Still, fun show. Thoughts on The Jackal?

Black Doves > The Agency

@saintlouismayor, this is a picture of the 4000 block of Oleatha. When your volunteer knocked on my door to canvass yesterday, i mentioned two things: plowing and trash. These seem like basic functions of government, the most simple of civic handshakes… please do better.

For as aggravated as I was, the three people involved in the accident were less than surprised at the inattentiveness of our police department. We simply have to do better.

I’m not going to sit here and argue that there aren’t other calls that take priority. I can understand that, but having citizens standing on the side of one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city is a danger too, and any police response that takes over an hour is egregious.

When I, the witness, left the scene, it had been more than an hour since my first call to 911. The second time I called, after 45min, I was informed, verbatim, that since there were no injuries and there was no impediment to traffic, “you’re not a priority.”

@saintlouismayor, today I witnessed a serious accident involving three vehicles at Arsenal and Alfred. Luckily there were no injuries and we were able to safely secure the cars so they weren’t impeding traffic. 🧵…

Paul, thanks for being a class act, even in your worst year ever (statistically). It cost me $50 to hold out hope that you’d hit 30HR…. Here’s to next year *wink wink* #staygolden

@JonahDispatch @JonahRemnant Jonah, don’t think we ever got a Dune II take from you. Thoughts on Thufir Hawat being completely cut off of the second film? Inquiring minds must know…

So my guest host for the @jonahremnant bailed. May have to do an AMA. If you have qs — non asinine qs — lemme have ‘em.

@JonahDispatch Not sure if you’ve read The Wager yet, but I highly recommend.

Doing a ton of driving next couple days. Any audiobook recs?
