I’m almost 40 years old! Type with some sense. Use punctuation. You really don’t save any time typing “u” over “you”. & please know to and too.

We don't have to let like 10 sloplords suck up all the water with soulless facilities that create a negligible amount of permanent jobs, pollute the environment with noise, and drive up electricity prices while the president carries out a fatwa against wind power.

My god, everything's so stupid.
U.S. electricity prices rose 7.4% in just one year, and energy policy analysts expect them to keep climbing faster than inflation in 2026. Meanwhile, data centers powering AI could nearly triple their energy use by 2030. buff.ly/KE663ZA
Rising electricity prices and an aging grid challenge the nation as data centers demand more power
Energy projects are expensive and take a long time to build. Where to build them is often also a difficult, even controversial, question.

I'm an extrovert with an introvert's disposition. It's very frustrating.
Im an introvert with an extroverts skillset, and that, my friends, is its own personal hell.

Steve Kerr on his exchange with Draymond:

"We had it out a little bit and he made his decision to go back to the locker room to cool off. Everything is private. I got nothing further to add. He wasn't going back in (the game)"

More of these everywhere please!
Also I would be super into a 35-55 jazz night meet-up somewhere in DFW.
My foray into jazz this year has been so lovely, and I’ve fallen in love with many facets of the genre.

However.

Soprano jazz vocalists are NOT for me. It’s a pitch thing, it hurts my ears no matter how lovely.

I actually want to entertain more at home--listening sessions, cards, game nights and whatnot. Will I? We'll see.
Homebodies/Introverts, are we leaving our house more often in 2026 or nah?
