Writing is hard. Being an author is hard. Seeing books you worked hard on and be passionate about, not sell as well as you’d like, is hard. But getting emails from people telling you how much they love your work, is awesome.

I actually love that virtually NO ONE is giving the #Braves a chance against the Dodgers. I get it. But weird things can happen in the postseason. I think the #Braves have a puncher's chance.

Someone asked me a few days ago if I would have the same kind of vitriolic energy towards Biden if he was doing the same things that Trump is. My answer: Hell yes! We are BEYOND party tribalism now. I would be RAKING Biden over the coals if he was driving us towards autocratic ruin.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
