Not to argue the Red but I would say it’s clear that Shaw deserves one as well. He initiated that whole cloth for the purpose. Also I’m done either way with RDZ. A semi-competent boot boy with our current roster would not have us in 20th.

We wrote this 18 damn years ago.

A script from episode 102 of Leverage with the dialogue for defense contractor Dufort:”You know the great thing about Congressmen? Fifty, a hundred grand well spent will get one elected.Once they’re in, they have an incumbency rate of over ninety-five percent. You get, on the average, eighteen to twenty years of use out of one. (beat) In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.”

I guess the biggest question right now as a Tottenham supporter is why are we waiting to replace this manager. His after match shenanigans would be reason enough but the clear lack of a plan or team building seems insane to continue withholding judgement.

The life of a Tottenham fan 😭 Despite spending 12 years as Chelsea women’s manager, Emma Hayes grew up supporting Spurs. But even the USWNT manager couldn’t handle the men’s Spurs experience — she left the game after Tottenham went 3-0 down to Villa. 📸: @mrdomsmith.bsky.social

No bad ideas in a brain storm guys but let’s think about, I don’t know, maybe take a shot or two at the goal. Was so impressed with the quality of play today only to see it completely deflate in front of goal. Rough.

My YouTube algo kicked up an indigo girls tiny desk concert- maybe the most me sentence in the English language- I was delighted by it but also surprised to see that Em’s medical issues were probably visible 3 years ago, though I wouldn’t have noticed and only care because I want her to be happy.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

It’s going to be a long season in my house. I was just about to subscribe again to the service that gets me half the games. Not sure I’m really going to need to see all of them. Bad matches and bad seasons are part of the gig but the last two years have left scars.

It is both strange and completely obvious that I have been mildly obsessed with the YouTube stylings of Jason Salmon and Derrick Stroup. Yes, I’m obvious. And also it’s comforting to hear familiar voices observing the culture I know well but deeply am uncomfortable with.

When the first thing a repair guy does is slap a logo/contact info sticker on the system they are working on, I know it’s the last time I’ll ever call them. If the work is worth it I’ll dig through years of files to find his number. Adhesive just means they know they’re about to do a shit job.

New season of Reacher dropped. Apparently the whole thing at once. I mean yeah I’m delighted that in the first 10 minutes he eats two cheesesteaks and calls a cop stupid. But they could seriously do this weekly with so much more water cooler clout. Clearly I don’t get the Econ model.

Really liked Brand New Day. But the most endearing moment may have been when Sadie Sink’s character name is revealed one dude just uncontrollably blurted “oh Shit!” Like there were only really a couple of people she could be playing and this dude was shocked, which was kinda sweet.
