Olathe, Kansas - looking north.

Some good news. This is my son, Trace. He just graduated high school in Olathe, KS and finished 11th in a class of 400. As a member of senior committee, he got to lead his class in a rendition of the Alma Mater song at the end of the ceremony. He’s going to KU and majoring in biochemistry.

My annual reminder to baseball scorekeepers. When a runner on first steals second with a runner on third in a close game, it’s not defensive indifference just because the catcher didn’t throw down.

Does anyone remember how obsessed we used to be as a society with every job having a uniform? Bus drivers, movie theater workers, vendors. Hell, even gas station workers. What in the world was that all about?

It’s getting festive in here!

When Christmas decor in your home dictates that you suddenly become coworkers with many displaced plants.

Happy Drinksgiving to those who celebrate! Let the holidays commence!

Nothing better than sitting in your warm home watching a snow football game. I’d say I’m worried about the fans getting home safe, but it’s Cleveland. Basically like Green Bay but in a bigger city. They’ll be fine!

Fun fact: there was a trans woman in the bathroom I was using today.

You’ll never believe what I did next:

I pissed. I washed my hands. I nodded to them on the way out, and I went on about my day because I’m not a fucking psychopath who cares what bathroom people use.

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.

We’ve decided as a society to value stupid shit that doesn’t matter over those things that do. So a college QB can get paid 3 million NIL now to play college football. Is he or the high school student with a 4.5 GPA who wants to be a surgeon a better investment for society?

That was frustrating. Mike, throw a punch man! respect to both and Mike at his age. But Mike would have finished him in 10 seconds when it mattered in his career.

Whelp. About had it with Netflix.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like our country has just become a paper tiger - just letting a bunch of conmen come along and take everything we supposedly stand for with no checks and balances or actual consequences for anything?

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken:
