Yep. Block-and-unblock so they no longer follow.

I am quite sure we do not want to know.

Sweet. Follow directions next time.

My patience for people thinking rules do not apply to them is basically zero.

Matthew Leach @matthewhleach.bsky.social · 4h

Need the soft block too.

I'm not kidding -- it should have cost more than half a point. There's no reason to ignore instructions like that. Get bent, kiddo.

One of those nights that just stick with you.

Any time the 04 Lima NLDS game is mentioned, I’m happy. What an amazing night, as electric as any atmosphere I’ve ever experienced in baseball.

Can confirm that the Twins have been granted permission to interview James Rowson for their vacant managerial job. Other reported candidates include Ramon Vazquez and Derek Shelton. Interviews are under way.

He's not just gonna sit and collect money regardless. Strongly suspect he's coaching in 2027 at the latest. That's how these guys are wired.

Perhaps so popular that someone hired him away?

I am a "first flight of the day" person. Lounge breakfast, a comfy chair, and even somewhat less crowded/hectic than the main concourses is so, so nice.

Matthew Leach @matthewhleach.bsky.social · 1d

Well, hey, at least when you go onto social media, I'm sure you're treated more respectfu... (taps earpiece)

Oh.

Matthew Leach @matthewhleach.bsky.social · 1d

3 - putting all of this aside, it sucks that people who are just trying to do journalism also have to do customer service, which I think was the underlying point of Sarah's.

1 - I've long believed there was a way to get this done at scale, and somebody would make money off of it. Just wish it were, I dunno, literally anyone else.

2 - I've been told that people who subscribe for a single article and then never unsub are a not-insignificant source of revenue.

Agreed on all counts.

If you think there's no good new music out there, of any genre, you're just not trying.

It’s weird when people my age and older boast about how unfamiliar they are with whatever music or pop culture thing is happening. Bums me out that people intentionally make their worlds smaller.

This is totally fair. I'm discouraged.

I just think the main thing I'm saying is, right now we're thinking "good lord, UVa and Pitt?!?!?!" and it's at least possible that those are both pretty good teams.

Matthew Leach @matthewhleach.bsky.social · 2d

Well, was it Prince or Cecil?
