Last night’s Colbert and Jon Stewart monologues were nailed…
Minus Jordan Klepper’s bit, they articulated everything that I’ve been feeling about the Alex Pretti murder and our administration’s response.

These are dark times.

This administration is a fucking joke. Anyone who supported these people, whatever you saw in them… I hope you can now shun these fucked, corrupt pieces of shit.
If you can’t, you are also a fucking joke.

Serious question: Why isn’t there a Casey’s serving pizza by the slice inside the Des Moines Airport? Add beer and bloodies. Call it Casey’s Tavern or Casey’s Concourse. It’d be the most popular spot in DSM, hands down.

The latest iterations of iOS and watchOS are the buggiest, most beta-feeling releases that I can remember.
… It’s almost like apple lost focus after falling behind on AI, so the dev teams are stuck in a cycle of launching a bunch of half baked shit while leadership figures out wtf they’re doing.

Sunday, we lost our “nephew,” Elias, at just 17. He and his family fought with everything they had after an unimaginable diagnosis. He was an incredibly special kid with big aspirations.
Sending so much love to Steph, Manuel, Ian, Sherry, Elizabeth, Jon, and all who loved him. Rest easy, buddy.

Tonight after golf league, I went to a local bar with my buddy, Carson. A random dude down the bar makes eye contact and then holds up his phone with a giant photo of Les Claypool.
Points at me, then the phone.
Guess I'm out here looking like Les Claypool.
