The kiddo starts 11th grade next week. With all the excitement of getting back into all his clubs, but not Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club, as Texas Senate Bill 12 banned all student clubs that include sexual preference. He takes it in stride, but he feels the loss. #pride #lbgtq #texas #vote

I'll add it to my boycott of Chinese manufactured boardgames. I don't want to support bad child labor exploitation nor transphobic entities. Both are bad actors and directly work to harm people. Who's with me!?

Whenever I hear anyone say AI will steal my job I just think to myself “please upgrade to premium platinum plus plus” then I take a relieving breath, and go back to work. #chatgpt #ai #chaching #upgradehell

Prior to 2004, printing the games I liked in Europe was the norm, and high quality. I would actually pay more for that again.

Just when you thought humans were different, you find that some things are universal. Scolding you kid for not doing their homework...classic! #ancientsky

As a GenX father of a teen boy(16), I have taught him to be respectable to women and men, and instill him with self worth. Of course I may have had it easy, as my son came out to us at age 13. But it’s still important to make sure he treats women with respect just as well!

Ancient Egyptian 3,200-year-old tomb of Ramses III’s general uncovered Archaeologists unearth tomb in northern Egypt, complete with a gold ring depicting Ramses III, Bronze Age weapons and puzzling inscriptions linking to an earlier pharaoh

Things an ancient history buff doesn't want to hear about: Fake BS Alien cities beneath the Pyramids of Giza. Things we do want to hear: A new tomb found of a high official for the Pharaoh Ramses III #ancientsky #history #realhistory #ancientegypt #bronzeagecollapse

I got a giant pack of these for Xmas…I like them, but I find it doesn’t taste the same as the OG Hawaiian Punch
