Not that 2026 is really different than any other year.

The only time I use AI to write something is when I purposely want to write in a way that is not normal or human (corporate speak). Otherwise it takes way more work to prompt it to write like me versus just writing.
I mean, the thing is, and I keep telling people this, I am SUPER lazy, so why would I learn how to prompt "AI" to write in a non-"AI" way when I can just naturally write in an engaging, human style? I doubt there is ever going to be a point where adding "AI" to the mix isn't just extra work for me.
I just saw a great take on writers using "AI" - people don't like to read something that's clearly written by "AI", so we need to respect that and make sure it seems natural.

So...put as much effort into tricking people into thinking we made an effort as we would into actually writing. Outstanding.

Sometimes I wonder if I am good at my job and am cut out for more Executive positions and then I remember Bari Weiss exists.

I always love this meme because from the 9th hole on the Rumble course in Myrtle Beach, home of the US Masters - one of the largest minigolf tournaments in the US - you can clearly see the strip club.

Instead of listening to Trump last night, which judging by the internet was a good idea, I worked to progress good things in minigolf.

Man the new Spaceballs movie seems like it sucks. Wait....this isn't a parody of Episode 1?
1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

My 10 year old made a Weeping Angel reference tonight and I humbly submit my petition for best parent ever.

A mini tiger does live in my house (and never does anything to the tree besides sit under it)

There is never the right amount of extension cord for outside decorating.

And now Jewel, one of my favorites, but like this is flashback city.

Ok, Shaggy and Rayvon was not what I had on my playlist after the Disney medley. But I am here for it.

All the reminders in CT to buy alcohol early because they can't sell on Thanksgiving. Like....lack of alcohol is not a problem in my house.

I didn't go to UConn but it was good year to be a season ticket holder (which I have had since 2005).
The simple fact is that UConn was willing to play literally every team in America and precisely zero of those brave enough to take up the challenge beat UConn in 60 minutes of football. Would be a travesty for the committee to leave the Huskies out of the playoff field.

Can you imagine being in the stands after that TD and all of a sudden a ball off Mayfield's arm comes flying at you?

I am not sure why the Media isn't going full Tom Cruise and getting Trump to admit to the code red at this point. You know he wants to say it. You can break him.

I feel like I have mostly surrounded myself with good people when so many posted the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald yesterday.

today, like every day, is a good day to remember everything Lake Superior has taken from us. the only language the Great Lakes understand is force.

RIP to the Eddie Fitz

I always forget that we severely overestimate the amount of people who pay attention to the world.

Drake Maye may be the only reason New England is distracted from revolution 2.0 right now. MAGA should be happy about that.

Not just Minnesotans. I heard the song like 30 years ago and have watched 1.5 thousand reels with it the past week.

Trump: MSM is Fake News!

Also Trump: Please listen to me whine on CBS!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I would like to point out, and as the guy next to me attested to his friends, I called the missed PAT by the Falcons 10 seconds before it happened.
