No offense to the other sports, but golf and women’s basketball just have the best storylines these days.
Used to be baseball and college football, but alas, the vampires of half-billion dollar payrolls have taken baseball and NIL threatens the same.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Here’s an academic shower thought: when writers use the terms “above” and “below” in their manuscripts to refer to things that came before or after in the text, they are using a ‘scroll-based’ mindset. I can’t think of anyone who has used a scroll since Kerouac wrote ‘On the road.’

Many moons ago, I worked as a teller in a bank for a short time while I was “between things.” I was unhappy, for sure, but the moment I knew I had to quit was when I learned that they made all their manager-trainees read “The Fountainhead.”

We got thundersnow last night. Thundersnow and the Northern Lights in the same 12-month period. Pretty cool…also, probably terrifying because I’m sure it’s due to climate change and we’re all gonna die.

Well, if Luka is out of Dallas, I might as well make the migration to Pacers fandom. I’d been holding out for Dallas, but seems like they are currently taking a hiatus from winning. And no way I’m rooting for LA.

My philistine take for today is that I feel about David Lynch films/shows kind’ve how I feel about defense attorneys. I don’t understand the appeal, but I’m glad somebody does the job.

I’m using 2025 to work through some themes in the history of Christian doctrine. I’m hoping it to be the notes and sketches for a future lay-level project.

The rise and fall of TikTok marked, for me, the moment I keenly felt the onset of a middle-aged mind-set. A huge social trend I did not care about, didn’t try to care about or understand, never signed up for, don’t care it’s gone, hope it all just stays off my lawn.

Historically, has there ever been a wider gap in competency between one state’s two senators than currently exists in Alabama?

Now that my 5 year old is *really* into Transformers, I’m impressed with the amount of world-building that went completely over my head when I was 5 and *really* into Transformers. It’s more than met my eye.

Daria is weirdly fascinating. How the absolute pinnacle of evil in 1996 is apparently people being superficial and failing upwards. Where boredom is the worst hardship teens face.
How cute for you. How nice. Let me show you 2025! Don't look away. Take it in. The screaming will stop eventually.

This is going to be my blue sky account…big academic words, followed by random early-middle-age-dad thoughts, followed by dog pictures.
Come for the church and theology, stay for things I just remembered about a movie I saw 15 years ago and whatever bandana I put on my golden doodle.

Also, it’s funny to think how all the big projects from “Entourage” became actual popular films. “Narcos,” “Ferrari,” and “Aquaman”—all were Vincent Chase blockbusters before they went through the looking glass to our world.
Entourage told the future and we were too self-important to listen.

It’s crazy that the new Bob Dylan movie is getting such good reviews. When I first heard about it, my mind immediately recalled the season of “Entourage” where Vince just *has* to play Enzo Ferrari in a low-budget biopic. I just assume that’s what Hollywood is like.

Dang, have been using the wrong hashtag. It’s #ASCH2025. That’s the most early-middle-aged-dad thing I’ve done in like, at least four hours.
