NO MASK NO TACO 𓅊

When this conversation comes up, I always go back to this really succinct quote from Fran Lebowitz.

Barry Bonds reveals why Greg Maddux was the toughest pitcher he faced during his career "The best, I think, technician pitcher was Greg Maddux. Maddux was the best technician." "Greg Maddux knew the philosophy of hitting at the same time I understood philosophy of pitching. And Greg used it very well to his advantage." "Power pitchers are power pitchers, they're going to go to what they go to no matter what, and that's power. And eventually, that's going to catch them, because you don't have to do much, they generate the power so the ball goes further." "It's those finesse technicians that you that really can break things break you down if you're not smart."

CADDYSHACK is one of the greatest comedies ever, especially when you learn Ted Knight was genuinely annoyed with Rodney Dangerfield while making the movie. Knight would rehearse and memorize his lines to a T, while Dangerfield would improv and continue to come up with ad-libbed one-liners. Knight especially hated Rodney's "We're all gonna get laid" line he made up on the spot 😂

Back in the '90s I dated a girl whose father used to work for Waffle House corporate. He explained the system to me in detail and being that I ate there all the time, it was fascinating to watch it happen in real life. And I'm not saying this to disparage Waffle House employees but this system was set up not only to be efficient but also to work well with the types of people who get jobs at Waffle House. It's simple, effective, and results in very, very few mistakes. It is quite ingenious.

BREAKING: A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, “If Netanyahu loses reelection in Israel, and Democrats in the US win subpoena power in both chambers of Congress, all I can say is Jared Kushner is completely, totally, utterly, historically, spectacularly f*cked.”

I remember being in a small group meeting in SF at the Morgan Stanley TMT conference at the Palace about a decade ago when she was CEO of Yahoo. She was talking to us about the innovation and new products at Yahoo and nobody cared. Why? Well at the time YHOO’s stock valuation was like 80-90 pct based on the price of Alibaba (BABA) given their holding of the stock that had just gone public. She asked us in the meeting why YHOO’s stock was so weak (BABAs stock was weak as China macro was showing signs of weakening). A single manager CIO/founder came clean and had to explain to her everybody in the meeting basically owned YHOO as a cheaper way to get long exposure to BABA. She literally didn’t know this / was surprised. I remember being shocked at her lack of self awareness of what YHOO was worth / what drove the stock. She kept talking about MAVENS during the meeting and none of us gave a fak what she was talking about xitter.cf/nypost/status/21147706…

Wanted to and expected to but didn’t love the Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Everything about it was so ugly, all the people except the mom, dad, and little ones. Couldn’t stand listening to Fiedler and Holmes’s husband for three hours. (Loved Carreyou book Bad Blood.) So sue me.
