Going to an airport is such an interesting ego death activity.

You start to feel like you’re the center of the universe and then you sit in a lobby with hundreds of people you don’t know going places you may never see.

My AirPods sometimes do a weird thing where they’ll say they’re connected when they’re not.

I’m normally at home, so it’s a mild inconvenience, however today I’m flying and everyone around me just heard @hollyanderson.bsky.social say “several small strokes” in a weird voice.

“There’s a male loneliness epidemic.”
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

1. Proud Boys are all peepee pants. We knew it was true but I appreciate the confirmation.

2. A prominent Proud Boy equating the mental anguish of a murderous coup with washing my hands after peeing is too on the nose.

This is the part that makes me so angry. I love America. I’m a product of the American Dream.

My dad is an immigrant and my mom was born into poverty as the oldest of six. They’re retired in the burbs now.

I’m angry because their story would be nigh impossible to replicate today.
“Leftists hate America” brother I hate imperialism and genocide and the police state and endless war and watching people reduced to the value of what their bodies can produce while the dumbest shit imaginable is elevated by the worst people alive. America currently embodies this.That can be changed

Starting my third attempt at Attack on Titan and I’m going to have to force myself to finish it because I must be missing something.

Big scary outsiders infiltrating from the other side of a wall.

It’s a well-made show, but does it ever stop being anti-immigrant and pro-fascist?

Am I too woke?

I watched the first half of USF/UTSA on an airplane, which meant people kept looking at me funny while I laughed hysterically at whatever that was.

Wife: Did you just sit in the garage with the car running?

Me: Yeah, sorry. Big Moe’s Just a Dog came on shuffle and I couldn’t get out until it was done. Kind of lost track, not trying to off myself.

The biggest threat to my Phantom Island subscription is @stevengodfrey.bsky.social making me cry when he talks parenting.

“Everything you do is preparation for a journey that isn’t yours.”

On top of my normal dad weepiness, yesterday was the last game of my first season coaching, so I’m a MESS.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

I’m not going to read this article, but these dudes all all the same.

I bet his shtick comes from some deep-seated insecurity about his race and identity leading him to seek approval from white people. You either self hate or become a caricature and hope they’ll love you.

CJ Pearson, the conservative wunderkind, first gained national attention at 13 for his viral rebuke of President Obama.

Now 23, he’s emerged as a leading face of the next generation of Black conservative activists.

My TikTok feed has taken a hard left turn into Friday Night Lights clips and dudes recording themselves walking off the field/talking off their shoulder pads for the last time.

I’m not equipped to be this sad all day.

Watching the Drunken Fist episode of Naruto with the oldest.

Son: Why is Rock Lee acting weird? What was that bottle he drank?

Me: It’s sake, a type of alcohol.

Son: So is the reason you don’t want me to drink alcohol is so I don’t become too strong of a fighter?

Elon was born on third base and convinced a cult of personality that they loved the smell of his farts and his poorly-constructed trucks ripped from Metal Gear Solid on the PS1.

That aside, his money could solve most of the world’s problems and he won’t. He ain’t worth a drop of piss in a bucket.

No context to add here other than I had to look twice to realize that this man in an orange tie wasn’t Dabo Swinney.
