This #Arsenal squad is a serious, serious outfit. I plan on enjoying every second of watching them, regardless of the terrifying stakes involved.
Bugs Bunny being the Star of the Month on TCM is bringing more contentment to my life than I’m proud to admit.

New mandatory work training module released. But there’s an option to do it in Spanish, so might as well use this as a chance to improve my comprehension skills! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watching Keaton Wagler keep doing great things makes me madder and madder every game.
Love the player, happy for him. Happy for Illinois. Proud as a Northwest Cougar.
Just mad that he was in K-State’s backyard and they never even gave him a look. Basically all overpaid turds on the roster.

Can you still get paper bags at the grocery store? Asking for the rest of the games at Bramlage. #KStateMBB

What link does Arizona have to that Kansas team I wonder hmm… 🤭🤭🤭
Arizona: 22-0 for the first time in program history.
Ties that terrific 1996-97 Kansas team for the best start by a Big 12 team ever. (Big 12 changed from the Big Eight in 1996.)

Every single touch by Gabriel Jesus leading to that goal was just exquisite. That’s the player he can be, just doesn’t show consistently. #arsenal

I’m not a billionaire but I bought a re-release with modern electronics of my favorite pinball machine ever I’d wanted for like 15 years and it fucking rules.
Yeah it was pricey but I love it so much.

Cooked lentils for the first time tonight and overcooked them and they became very mushy 😫
However, they’re in a curry so I think it’ll just kinda thicken it up and still be quite edible. We’ll see.
I’m going to pare down on the meat in my diet, so it’d behoove me to figure out this lentil thing…

Wow…shoutout to the #KCMO city workers who are out at 1:30 on a Saturday morning in 4 degree weather to empty my building’s trash dumpster before the snowstorm hits. That’s commitment! @mayorq.bsky.social

This was lovely and heartening in many ways. I can’t help but carry the feeling of how K-State was thisclose to being the long game of what Indiana did, with the rules and limitations of those times. 😔
Surely the Hoosiers mirror the 2014-15 Royals, and that was similar bliss.

got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history.
If Indiana can do it, we can do it
If Indiana can do it, we can do it
If Indiana can do it, we can do it
It’s the greatest story in college football history. Maybe hope and belief aren't so naive.

Everything is annoying me today by a factor of 10. I can't explain why. But I don't like it. I'm a bundle of anxiety on the edge of anger.
