  • No Shouting

    TLDR: two decent people yammering.

    No anger, no meanness, no hate, just love for all that is good. That means rational Yankees hatred and celebrations of virtually everything else in the world that is life-affirming, particularly that which is sports-related. There’s a fair bit of baseball talk, but so, so much more.

  • Against “efficiency”

    Came for the sports; stayed for the brutally effective takedown of consulting-firm culture, which I have been longing for for decades. Thank you for this. Consider running for office? I’m not kidding. We need it.
