This definitely gives me a good starting point! Thanks so much for your time. I hate being the ignorant one, but truly appreciate the help!

I tend to enjoy mysteries/ thriller type stuff (Harlen Coben, Gillian Flynn), as well as contemporary fiction (Kristen Hannah). I also like novels that involve sports, ie- Fredrick Backman's Beartown.

Imagine- if you will, a special boy who believes not only is he the smartest person in every room, but he resonates, particularly with other know-it-alls. AND HE NEVER LEAVES. He'll just post and post and post and then post some more.

Also let's acknowledge that trans girls were allowed to compete at the NCAA level for more than a decade and never scratched the surface on making a legit impact in any sport.

They lost me when they were trying to act like the Strip and downtown were some kind of walkable and connected neighborhood... Like... It's possible to walk, but people don't.

For those that don't follow women's sports, Sophie Cunningham posing for photos with Riley Gaines is like Jonathan Issac posing with Jason Whitlock. A player known more for politics than basketball yucking it up with a mediocre athlete-turned shill.

Currently in the era of marriage where I have to really think about the year we were married and then do some math to figure out which anniversary we're on... Apparently we're on the ivory (wtf?) or gold jewelry anniversary next month. Wife doesn't wear a ton of jewelry. Might deviate...

Wife found a pair of these chairs free on Facebook marketplace. Gave them a little upgrade. Yes I used a pizza box for the seat template. Shout out Badamo's on E North Side of #Pittsburgh. Got the cushions on clearance for $11 each at Home Depot. #DIY

Dan Schulman thinks AI will take the jobs of 20 to 30% of workers in the next 2 to 5 years. He's also got $5 billion worth of cartoon apes that he's trying to unload, you know, if you're interested in getting in on the next big thing.

And when they aren’t right (no one is all the time), it’s used as a club to show why we shouldn’t trust them. We gotta amplify their voices and continue to show support.

I think we've already witnessed that he's a liar. But it will still be funny to see him and people who work for him have to be deposed. I don't know the truth- but I know a bit about liable law. It's unlikely the Atlantic would have run with a story like this if it wasn't true.

As a journalist here's my take on the Kash Patel $250M lawsuit. Kash doesn't seem to know what "actual malice" is, and his attorneys are going to struggle to prove it. But he also painted himself into a corner. At some point, he's going to have to either drop the suit or be interviewed under oath.

Um. I'm going to need to know more about this "has required the deployment of ‘breaching equipment’ to extract him from locked rooms," bit. Is Kash Patel getting drunk and locking himself in closets or something?

Excerpt of CNN story about Kash Patel: The defamation suit says statements in Fitzpatrick’s article “falsely assert” that Patel “is a habitual drunk, unable to perform the duties of his office, is a threat to public safety, is vulnerable to foreign coercion, has violated DOJ ethics rules, is unreachable in emergencies, has required the deployment of ‘breaching equipment’ to extract him from locked rooms, allows alcohol to influence his public statements about criminal investigations, and behaves erratically in a manner that compromises national security.”

And this is definitely a thing. This week is going to be hell in Pittsburgh. If you've never been here, I'll try to explain- getting around Pittsburgh by car is challenging even when you know what you're doing. Dump in tens of thousands of people who don't? We're fucked.

The #NFL Draft site on the North Shore is just about done. As a football fan, I'm excited for the event. As a Pittsburgh resident, I'm slightly irritated that it's going to cause traffic delays, but overall- I really do think it will be a fun event!

The rapid deployment of AI is to serve one purpose in the corporate world: to cut costs. Specifically payroll. When you celebrate AI, you’re rooting for technology that’s only purpose is to replace you in the workforce.

I can’t see what was said before because it says it’s blocked, but I think you’re wrong about Lin. She was cleared by World Boxing- which is the main governing body for the sport- for all its events, not just the Asian championships, which are next. I believe she’s Olympic eligible as a woman.

Instead of watching the HBO Harry Potter show, you should pick one Patrick Swayze movie per week. Think of the possibilities. Road House. Point Break. Red Dawn. Dirty Dancing. To Wong Foo. Youngblood. Time to go Swayze Crazy mfers.

At the age of 42, I never thought my wife and I would be dipping our toes into the possibility of leaving the U.S. Sorry. I've got a 15yo son. I'm not going to be caught unprepared if something unthinkable happens, like a draft gets reinstated to send American kids to fight in another stupid war.

When I was 5 or 6, my dad took me to Mickey Lolitch’s donut shop in Lake Orion. I vaguely remember him as being a giant man in every sense. But I vividly remember how kind he was and how special he made me feel to be a #Detroit Tigers fan. He was all class and he will be missed.

Things we love will always frustrate after some amount of time. But I've found the "fresh eyes and energy" approach always is a nice reset.
