@williamfleitch.bsky.socialFor @washingtonpost.com, I wrote about Nathan Fielder's and Lance Oppenheim's "You Can See Everything," which is about Elizabeth Holmes, but is really about the chasm between actual truth and emotional truth, which in many ways is the story of our time. wapo.st/3WrxqNO
@williamfleitch.bsky.socialIt’s not hard to root for them. It’s just hard to say it!
@williamfleitch.bsky.socialBetter them than the Reds or Cubs, definitely.
@williamfleitch.bsky.socialAs a Cardinals fan it is hard to say this but this Brewers team has GOT IT, man.
@williamfleitch.bsky.socialThese have all been great, thank you.

@williamfleitch.bsky.socialGrierson and I have been quoting: "Aren't you lying? Aren't you in fact A LIAR? No further questions!!!" and "This court finds you guilty. But first: The whores!" For roughly 35 years.

@williamfleitch.bsky.socialI have written about this before, but the only place I’ve ever seen fans try to get an autograph from a player WHILE HE WAS IN THE ON-DECK CIRCLE was at Nats Park.
