Difficulties

April 15, 2026

In all seriousness, even when the SF Giants trade for or sign good hitters, they seem to forget how to hit when they come to San Francisco.

Aren’t there ANY good hitting coaches out there?

Meanwhile the first win or go home play in game tonight between Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets, and with 46 seconds to go in a tight overtime game, the Amazon Prime broadcast shows

For a good couple minutes or more (at least there was a timeout) returning 26 seconds left in the game.

Almost as if letting billionaire Jeff Bezos’ streaming service instead of an experienced network carry an important game was a bad idea.

Metaphor for what’s going on in our country?

Pretty stunning to hear GOP Senator John Cornyn talk about defunding (not even renaming it) anything connected with Cesar Chavez because you can’t have a predator associated with a monument.

Uh. He does realize Trump was actually CONVICTED of sexual assault by a jury?

Is there a smugger and less charismatic person in US politics than JD Vance?

Oh please oh please can someone ask Trump about Eric Swalwell and sexual assault allegations on camera?

As big of a mess as the Eric Swalwell situation is, it could be much worse for Democrats.

Imagine if these allegations came out in mid May. Or worse, mid-October?

“Be careful.’ Vance issues warning to Pope Leo when discussing theology”

So man who was an atheist until he converted to Catholicism 6 1/2 years ago is now WARNING the Pope?

Very on brand for the most narcissistic adminstration in history.

United & American Airlines both often have high prices at airports where they have majority of flights (For examples, SFO & Dulles for UA, Dallas & Charlotte for AA.)

And UA CEO Scott Kirby reportedly floated idea of UA-AA merger to Trump in Feb?

Heaven help consumers.

Serious thought on Doordash.

Leaving aside idiocy w/ Trump photo op, if you want to support local businesses, they keep much more of what you pay if you can pick food up.

Apps take a hefty fee. (15-30%!!) And restaurants often have to cover food costs if a client complains about anything.
