Road tripping back from Michigan to KC. Noticed a low tire pressure. Stopped at a Discount Tire in DSM. 4 minutes before they close. On Saturday night. Of July 4th weekend. They’ll never see me again - I’m an out of towner. They’re staying to get it fixed. Have never not

Had a wonderful breakfast with my parents today. 18 months ago we were bitterly estranged and hadn’t spoken in over a year. Whatever the thing you need to do but don’t know how to do is… I promise you, it only gets better with action. Just. Start.

Asked a friend and fellow SMBer ‘when do you think the abject terror about liquidity goes away?’ ‘Well, I can tell you when it doesn’t go away…’ Yup. Will always be the ticking clock in the back of my mind.

We’ve gotta get better choices than this and ‘here’s some free stuff that we can’t pay for but don’t worry debt isn’t real we can just turn on the money machine.’ Good lord. Wake up America. We gotta be better than this.

Attn SMBers: Day going badly? Sell something. Financials not where you want them? Sell something. Staff stress? Sell something. Tech not working and it’s driving you nuts? Sell something. Solves every problem.

Said this a year ago. Watching tonight, it’s only more true. Come on, guys. This is a joke.

This x1000. This is the way every decent human being should react to a ball in the stands. Good reminder given the *other* baseball in the stands video that’s flying around.

There is nothing like a day at the ballpark to realize how well you’re doing as a parent and also to realize how incompetent and uncaring the average parent is.

Everyone should watch this every day. We need to be better to each other. Blown away by how good so many people have been to my kids at ballgames. Have loved baseball since I was a kid…but have fallen in love with it all over again.

Horrifying to see this in retrospect.

This is right on. The problem with the overwrought, immediate-Nazi-name-calling, Hitler-invoking rhetoric isn’t the actual comments. It’s the ripple effect of massively shifting the Overton window. Goddammit people, just be better to each other.

This has to be rock bottom for Wisconsin Football. We know how this is gonna end. Luke Fickell isn’t the answer. I’m sure he’s a good guy, but it’s time to move on. We have no identity as a program. You’ve lost the fan base. Recognize that it’s time. Move on.

This all day. The left sold its soul to the wokists. Doesn’t mean we should put ours on eBay too.

Cold Call Advice: don't lead off with 'you probably don't know who this is, but I spoke with _____ at your office.' Maybe use a name?

espn.com/college-footba… I have an idea that might solve this issue. Bear with me for a second. We could have smaller, more regionally focused conferences. That way, each school could play all the teams in its conference every year, and the fans would all be fairly close

"Dad, what was #Badgers football like when you were younger?"

Devin Gardner just said that TD was big for Badger fans. We’ve hit that point. Where scoring a single touchdown is a moral victory. Here’s the drive results and the cumulative score since our last TD: Punt, 0-7 Punt, 0-7 Punt, 0-7 Punt, 0-10 Punt, 0-10 Punt, 0-10 Punt, 0-10

This is why government intervention is a flawed mechanism for improving circumstance. Governments are largely - not entirely, but largely - occupied by people who struggle with the law of unintended consequences. Even well-intentioned efforts nearly always create ripple effects
