As a reader of this newsletter since the beginning (fact check: since newsletter #35), it's been a goal of mine to have a piece featured. Happy to sneak in this week with one from the archives!

I've used third-party apps to access Twitter ever since I signed up, so the new guy killing those off was less than ideal for me. Going to give the new @tapbots Mastodon client a shot if you want to give me a follow over there. 🐘 mastodon.social/@davepowers

Not sure if the people at the nearby tennis courts resolved to play more pickleball in 2023 but if so they are off to a great start.

Watching the Harry & Meghan documentary and I’m shocked and saddened to learn that the Duke of Sussex is a nepo baby.

Multiple people had to work over the weekend to write up this terrible new policy that was then immediately scrapped. web.archive.org/web/2022121817…

If anyone has a hankering to drop $40K on a nativity scene that looks like the one from Home Alone but isn’t that one I will tell you where it is for a $10K finder’s fee.

Sorry but I can’t stand soccer with all the fake injuries. I prefer REAL football with REAL injuries that result in players getting stretchered off the field and left with permanent brain damage.

I myself voraciously advocated for firings to appease investors after guaranteeing that quarterly revenue would increase by “infinity” dollars. (by @dave_powers) pointsincase.com/articles/we-ar…

I misread the presale instructions and not only did I waste hours in line, but now the Capital One Café barista is refusing to sell me Taylor Swift tickets and also calling the police.

Keep elections free, but charge $8 for the “I voted” sticker.

My favorite part of watching a professional football game on television is seeing a slow motion replay of a player unfastening the chin strap from their helmet.

It’s a rare sight, but every so often I will encounter a person in Boston during October wearing a full-on parka and I wish I could tag and track them to see if they survive the winter.

One time for a work icebreaker someone asked what the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten was and I decided to play it safe and go with “ham” but then people got mad and said that ham wasn’t a weird thing to eat.
