I paid $100 for a Skype guitar lesson with Richard Lloyd about 15 years ago.

He was a little cranky but had a unique way of thinking about the guitar. Very geometric.

His "Alchemical Guitarist" columns and videos are fascinating if you can still track them down.

Important people know the backstory of this ad. @patrickgaspard gave me the idea to take her inexcusable gaffe and do something edgy with it that could get attention.

My content creator, @RyanSayles_ directed and edited it. He should be considered the breakout-star of this cycle. He’s going to be a giant in the media consultant game. He did GAME CHANGING work with SO little.
She done lost her damn mind.

Already voted, so today I did the most American thing I could think of: drove to Costco and got a $1.50 hot dog and soda

i fuckin love baseball man
The Brewers regarded smoking cigarettes before games as a good luck charm and their motto was ‘if we smoke heaters in the cage, we will smoke heaters in the game’

Christian Yelich on this:

“You walk by the cage and see the cigs lit and you’re like, the boys are ready to rock.”

Here’s to the @Brewers from our brewers. Introducing the Miller Lite Clinch Cans, filled with the very beer that was being made in Milwaukee the exact moment the team won it all.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?

Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.

The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.

@elonmusk: Texas is not for sale.

I'm proud of the Guardians. They play meaningful baseball almost every year.

But man they are really good at ripping your heart out every year
