Trampled to death by a horse called Pivot to Video
A colt named Journalism is the betting favorite in this weekend's Kentucky Derby. If metaphor carries the day, that poor horse is gonna break down and get boltgunned right to hell in front of millions.

Just like tech sector, the UFC is in its Minimum Viable Product phase and is making absurd profits.

Such anguishes and despairs
Why you shouldn't kill yourself in February, the worst but also shortest month of the year.

Are politicians buying phone numbers/mailing lists off of the dark web or something?
For the life of me, I can't figure out why I'm STILL getting daily fundraising emails – from people I'd never support.
No, Rudy Giuliani, I'm not interested in doing you a solid.

Not sure I'll get to watch much of #UFCTampa as a live viewer.
But I did jinx the card by betting a round-robin of DNGTDs.
So enjoy your 41 full rounds of action tonight, fight fans.

After 4 glorious years, my beloved pizza oven finally ascended to the pizzeria in the sky.
But Ooni (great company) hooked me up with a brand new Ooni Koda 16 as a replacement, so the pies can keep coming.
Here's pizza No. 1 in the new oven:

On a scale of 1-10, how amped are you for #UFC310 on Saturday with Pantoja vs. Asakura, Rakhmonov vs. Garry & Gane vs. Volkov?
I'm probably at a 7. I'm big on Rakhmonov, and the vet-filled prelims give the card a boost for me personally.

Been digging into the history of MMA/UFC trading cards. "Vintage" UFC is basically the 2009 Topps set.
And it's making me feel old.
Sifting through those cards, I realize I was cageside for many of the fights.
It's like seeing yourself in the background of a Mantle rookie card.
