Immediately we come to an important question for the field: is haterdom in general (Statler and Waldorf) qualitatively different than haterdom in specific (Kendrick Lamar with Drake; you're a mean one mr grinch)?

Has anyone seen any macro economic models on what happens if the USG has to refund tariffs and they have to do that in Q3 or Q4? What kinds of chaos should we expect?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I kind of like what the Royals have done this winter so far. I don't think they're done either. I'm hopeful!

• Extended Salvador Perez through 2027
• Signed Alex Lange
• Traded Angel Zerpa for Isaac Collins & Nick Mears
• Extended Maikel Garcia through 2030
• Signed Lane Thomas
• Traded Jonathan Bowlan for Matt Strahm

The answer to this question is in three parts:
1. Oftentimes this is the most unguarded part of my kid’s day, and the conversations we have in that 10 minutes are the best we have all day;
2. That is the best time I have in the day to do something nice for my kid;
3. Fuck you that’s why
