Went to my first protest in years yesterday. It was time well spent.

Best image of the day:

What makes me smile? The knowledge that 25 years from now, "Taco Trade" is going to be on some 10th grader's history test.

Could we just not be so mean? - Storm Lake Times Pilot Round and round the circular conversation goes, right down the drain between my neighbor and me: “I like that DEI ban.” Okay, I can work with that. We can just call it something …

Wait, what?!?

Who the hell is running MLBTV? Pete Hegseth? I've subscribed for YEARS and never seen a screwup this bad.

Democratic Iowa Caucuses: Reporting our results in 2020 was the worst tech screwup in history.
MLBTV Opening Day 2025: Hold my beer....

MLBTV was working beautifully, until it wasn't. Now, completely useless. WTF?

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that.

And everyone knows it.

Wait. All of this is going on and they're mad at DEMOCRATS?
We're screwed.

Fascism and all of the other things aside (and they're a lot)...
Seriously? Take your fucking hat off! Try that inside on any military base and see what happens.

Pithiest reaction that I read about Kendrick Lamar's halftime show was this:
"If it wasn't for you, it was probably about you." I'm not sure that I completely agree, but it's a pretty pithy take.

The same people who were terrified that George Soros would be a shadow President for Obama or Hillary Clinton openly embrace Elon Musk doing the same in a Trump administration.

Every accusation really is a confession.

Wow! THAT was a performance! Congratulations to Leeds! 7-0 over Cardiff. Incredible. #MOT

One of my favorite concerts of the school year. Our symphonic band and full orchestra. I get to come and just listen.

As much as I could comment on Trump’s response to the airliner crash, it pretty much speaks for itself… If you honestly believe it was appropriate, we have no business even having the conversation.

Not without controversy, Australia Day is like a combination of our 4th of July with our Columbus Day. Still, it's one of the two countries that I've called home, and I'll always have a soft spot for our mates down under. Happy Australia Day.

I paid precious little attention to the inauguration today. And that's the blueprint for the future. Be aware but be selective in what you engage. Save the energy for the battles that matter and ignore the juvenile antics from Trump or his supporters.

Every now and then this state lives up to the stereotype. 😒

Bob Uecker nearly always made me laugh when I watched or heard him. He never made me want to cry until today. Rest in peace, sir. A life well lived. Baseball and the world is a lesser place without him in it.

I can't cancel her, because I never listened to her in the first place.

Yep. What can you do? Stay engaged in your communities. The fine arts are a wonderful place to start. Art, literature, music, film. Expand your minds and don't give in to the garbage culture.

That's no fumble. His knee was down. #Vikings

As we watch the horrible fires in California, at the same time we watch the funeral of the man who gave us FEMA. President Carter was ahead of his time.

President Carter’s funeral was touching, funny, and I feel like we got to know both the President and the man a little better. May he rest in peace and may we remember him fondly. He gave us so much more than we give him credit for.

Blackburn and Leeds is really fun to watch.

Iowa State wins the Pop Tarts Bowl. That’s gotta be the best trophy presentation in sports.

Makes sense that he'd steal another person's line (Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder) He doesn't invent anything himself. He buys it or copies it.

He stole that line from Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

Lions win! Only team in the NFL that's still undefeated on the road. And, the Commanders just did them a solid.
