A hill I will die on -- if you have the #1 overall pick in a draft, you better have your pick submitted within the first minute. You've had four months to figure this out. Why do you need 10 minutes on the clock?

My son is working on a project for his YouTube channel. We are visiting and reviewing college basketball arenas. Today, we are at the University of Rhode Island. This place is awesome. @hardcapgames.bsky.social

Breweries are as bad as Target with their season offerings. I didn't want pumpkin ale in August. That's still summer. I WANT pumpkin ale in October and November. None to be found for the last month, though. It's all winter seasonal now. Can we fix this, please?

Awesome day at the National Council for the Social Studies conference in Boston. Started early with a few of my students presenting their civics projects, then four fabulous and inspirational sessions. #ncss2024

I love historical fiction and have heard great things about Shogun by James Clavell. Can I start with this book, or is it important to read the earlier books in the Asian Saga first (release order vs chronology order)? #booksky

How should Democrats approach the next four years?

1) Obstructionist. Try to prevent as much as possible; we want to minimize human suffering.

2) Accelerationist. Get out of the way. People voted for all this crap; let them see what a disaster these policies really are.

I go back and forth.

We can disagree about POLICY. We cannot disagree about people's human rights.
