I don't have access to traditional cable channels, though watched the Sox/Guardians game on TBS, via HBO app (or whatever it's called now). Speaking as a washed-up ad agency guy... I kept seeing the same 3 or 4 ads over and over (and over) for three 1/2 hours. Is AI doing media buys?

1/2 I paid very little to Donald Trump for decades (I never saw The Apprentice) but something I noted during the 2016 his claims that: •He was the best baseball in the state of NY and •He was invited to tryout with the Giants "alongside Willie McCovey."

There was a phrase that the Reagan Administration popularized, that apparently was originally a Russian proverb. Regardless of the origin story, "Trust, but verify." is solid advice this time of year.

Nothing proves that the current Middle East War is a smashing success more than POTUS musing that he might annihilate Iran "after the election."

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

861 wounded 19 dead Administration has misled (aka "lied about") troop casualties in the Iran War. Any member of Congress that isn't pushing for Senate/House Defense Committee investigations, and/or impeachment should be required to remove their "We Support The Troops" bumper-stickers.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Earlier I was tormented by constant low-volume rhythm. It was maddening. Fretting that it was a plumbing or HVAC issue, I began slowly walking around the basement. Eventually, I noticed the source, lying my on my adjustable desk, and I exclaimed: “It is the ticking of my hideous analog watch!”

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”
