For Christmas Eve, I just opened a bottle of Makers Mark a dear friend gave me in 2008 — a special “Rock the Vote” edition bottle.

The friend passed away this year, and I thought it would be appropriate to finally open this bottle and have a drink and honor her memory...

Last night I dreamed my brother had become a mega rich cult leader and cut the legs off of an old girlfriend of mine in front of me. My #applewatch say my #sleepscore was 72.

Every time my kid plays this I swear I heard it originally on an AAJ Records compilation in the mid 90s

Last night I dreamed I found a pink flamingo that could talk and I tortured it. My #applewatch say my #sleepscore was 96!

From AL.com on #auburn first practice after #fire #hughfreeze

“Gone were the sights and sounds of gospel music and preachy messaging on the video boards, and it was an energetic scene as hip-hop music blared in the background…”

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social I am pretty sure I missed the window for voicemails and that’s on me. But I - a Bama fan - inadvertently fired up the Noles tonight, even joining the shirtless dudes swinging our shirts, and for that I am sorry. #ohthepagentry

Finally joined @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social NIL collective so for tonight’s #fullcastafterdark I can just fall asleep when I want to and listen to it all later!

Given the current direction of Florida leadership, I can no longer associate myself with FDEM as an alumnus.

My college. Gone, no semblance to what it was when I was there.

My 13 year career with FDEM/FLSERT. No respect for where it has headed.

I’ll always have my FL state parks, right? Right?
It is also the biggest story in emergency management right now — because an emergency management agency literally built and operated the camp — and isn’t being treated like one.

“It’s a small mercy Corcoran didn’t go with a bayside campus theme of “Buoys” and “Gulls.””

The last time I can remember is doing this was 9/11, when families were frantically searching for any news regarding their loved ones. But here we are today.
Nestled up against the steps of City Hall in LA is a large placard with missing posters for the recently disappeared in the city.

Woke up today and all I can think about is how someone should have a house party and have LCD Soundsystem play Daft Punk Is Playing At My House and then they could write a song called LCD Soundsystem Is Playing Daft Punk Is Playing At My House At My House.

#NewCollege has no football team. To remake the school of <500 students, #Desantis gave 70 baseball scholarships. Alabama #Rolltide has 27 baseball scholarships with >40k enrolled. I gave $97 (+fees) to put #NFC on the board for #charitybowl @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

Clerk at the beer store: Are you a member of our loyalty club?

Me: I have no loyalty. As soon as this transaction is concluded, I walk out that door, and we are done.

Clerk: You would have saved $3.

Thank you @mattgertz.bsky.social for putting this thread together.
The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES.

Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):
