Raconteur. I dink therefore I am.
I know a kid who was in the building where the shooting happened and another who was in a building across the street. Both are fine but both know shooting victims and have had a hell of a last day. So terrible.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

I’m making myself stop at 15,500 words I’ve written today. It’s been a good day. Maybe one day they’ll escape into the world, maybe not. Still worth it.

I’m so thankful for the internet some days.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I woke up and didn’t get out of bed but did write for an hour. I’m not sure but I think something might be broken.

This 3D print has 3:05 left. Will it finish before the end of the OSU/IU game?

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t enjoy Gus Johnson calling college football. He’s just over the top from the jump.

Everyone listen up: the Ted Danson “Where Everyone Knows Your Name” podcast where he interviews Ken Burns may be one of the single best and most important podcast episodes ever created. Please take the time to listen.

Gonna say it: Rupp Arena isn’t any better a home court and maybe not as good as the Smith Center. I’d put the energy at nearly the same as against a mid-major. It’s…underwhelming. Kansas was SO much better.

They are, but they are still better than the Kansas benches. Slightly more space.
The upper-arena seats behind the baskets are bench seats.

I’m not sure that wasn’t the UNC fans in the building vs KU fans who just didn’t care. More UNC here than I would have thought!
No SEC loyalty here. The Kentucky crowd cheered as it watched Syracuse beat Tennessee on the big screens.
December 3, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Worst part? UNC game at 9:30! But it gives me literally all day to get to Kentucky…
One of the better weekday CBB slates in recent memory.

Best part? Every game tonight is on campus.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

I like fruity frozen liquor drinks and friends do give me some shit for it, but the worst I ever got was from a waitress. She literally asked me in front of a huge group of people if I wanted a BRA with my strawberry daiquiri. We all still laugh about it, but fuck that lady.
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Gonna be really upset if my ultimate demise results from my inability to remember which thing I'm supposed to do if it's a black bear, and which I'm supposed to do if it's a grizzly bear.

One thing I love about Hawaii for some reason: it’s 7:15am, the sun is barely up, it rained so the ground is soaked, it’s windy, it’s somewhat cool…probably 72F…and there are already kids at the pool. I know it’s due to the time difference of where these people are from, but it always cracks me up.
