"The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who's never been there. Our lives are filled with examples which tell us that leadership asks for understanding and that understanding requires sharing." Henri Nouwen

@BrianBatko That's terrific. Congratulations, and looking forward to more Batko!

Update: I'm joining the Steelers. Telling the stories of this franchise and the people within it is what I do. Really pumped for this move over to the team site, Steelers Nation Radio and more. Here's a little on what that means for me and to me. Let's go: steelers.com/news/batko-add…

I flew on Air Force One. I'm here to talk about the food. I’m not a foodie. I don’t have a go-to restaurant critic or strong opinions about tasting menus. But what I do have is a genuine, almost embarrassing enthusiasm for the meals served aboard AF1. My food review as a 🧵 1/7:

The Four Corners in Kingston, NY is the only intersection in the United States in which all four structures date before the American Revolution. The oldest, the Jansen House, was built between 1663 and 1667 when the region was part of the New Netherlands colony.

Pretty cool that Penn State alum Joey Porter Jr. and his dad Joey Porter Sr. got to announce Penn State QB Drew Allar being selected by the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Bro learned the hard way

On April 19th, 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising broke out! The woman in the front on the left is Yehudit Neyer, holding her mother-in-law's hand. The young girl is the daughter of Yehudit and Avraham Neyer, who is visible to her left. Of these four, only Avraham survived the war. The others perished in a German extermination camp. 📸 Warsaw, 1943, Nowolipie Street.

Nobody has more elite training facilities than the United States Armed Forces - hang on, being told this apparatus was installed for third graders.

I don’t know the pressure of playing the back nine on Sunday at the Masters, but I do know the pressure of standing on the 18th tee needing a 6 to break 100 while playing a decaying range ball because I chunked two Titleists in a pond at 17. I assume it’s more or less the same.

The chances of this occurring are extremely remote. The surviving evidence is sparse and comes from interested sources, making it insufficient to dispel serious historical skepticism.

#NYC #LandlordRights #HousingCrisis #SquatterCrisis I’m a NYC landlord. A tenant used fake financial documents and a bounced check to get into my property. He has now lived there for 8 months — without paying a single dollar. My losses are over $50,000 and still growing. Police won’t act. DA won’t act. The system tells me: go to housing court and wait. I followed the law. I hired a lawyer. I even gave him extra time to leave. He’s still there. Let me ask a simple question: When someone uses fraud to take your property, why is it treated like a normal tenant dispute? This system doesn’t protect honest people. It punishes them. NYC talks about a “housing crisis.” But who would rent out their property under these conditions? This is not just my story. This is happening to small landlords across New York. And nobody is fixing it.

@iowahawkblog Thanks for the shout out to Sully's! Still a strong love of old cars here in Oldsmobile country...

That atmosphere wasn't solely California: 1. Colonel Jim's Tasty Thrill, Miami Beach 1952. That car hop is remarkably scantily clad for the time. 2. The Top Hat, Spokane WA, circa 1941. 3. Sully's, Lansing MI, circa 1952. 4. Pick's, Corpus Christi TX, 1941.

Spring has sprung, and a formerly young man's fancy turns to thoughts of... drive-ins. No meandering Dave's Car ID Service history dissertation today, just a meditation about the aesthetics of cars bathing in the nighttime glow of a drive-in restaurant sign, told through photos. The most iconic for me is my late friend Norm Grabowski at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank in 1957, in the T-bucket he built that would later become the "Kookie T" of the TV series 77 Sunset Strip. The photo appeared on a LIFE magazine cover, and sorta perfectly encapsulates that aesthetic. Happily Bob's Big Boy Burbank is still thriving and I always make a cruise night pilgrimage there whenever I visit SoCal.
