PSA: Don't let one good thing make you falsely believe Greg Abbott is a good person.

He just loves money more than he loves being a fascist.

Also, Dan Patrick, who used to be "Danny Goeb" from Baltimore, does not deserve to hold any power over the State of Texas.

Vote them both out, please.

People who whine and complain about Dead & Company playing at The Sphere need to realize:

This isn't a new idea. Grateful Dead and Brotherhood of Light collaborated to have light and projection shows during a run of concerts 56 years ago in 1969. It's very much within the band's ethos.

I did maintenance on a pinsetter yesterday, and went up front to put them back in service.

The ball lift was running, so I bowled to check if the pinsetter was on. I only saw that it didn't cycle, so I went back to reset the pins.

When I got back here, I found out I bowled a strike 🤣

This green belt on Lane 5 has been troublesome for about a week now.

We have to weld these ourselves out of Polycord, which usually isn't difficult.

Until it is. Dull cutter makes round ends which are hard to weld, and the NXT manual has no specs on how long your polycord should be. 🙃

What did I say? That the "TikTok Ban" was a political stunt...gaslighting, if you will...to create a panic and, as according to plan, allow Trump a perfect platform to relaunch himself in a PR stunt as a "hero of freespeech" despite the fact that he initiated the ban in the FIRST PLACE 😆 🤣
