We are not serious people.

Im having flashbacks to my 1L year where every other costume was "reasonable person"

This was the most fun I have had all year.

LinkedIn is a mess, it only looks good when compared to other social media sites.

Six years ago my oldest son took out a library book that was a step by step guide to build an endless runner.

It took us a few weeks of debugging to get it right.

My six year old found the same book. Is the best plan is to just ask gpt to write it for us?

Do we still teach the kids to code?

Bush 2 spent the better part of half a year gaslighting the American public about Iraq.

My positive mental well being directly correlates to these guy being back on TV.

My wife and I scheduled a trip to DC 2 years ago for the kids to see monuments and the museums, not anticipating a goverment shutdown.

My friend tried to console me "well your kids will get to remeber seeing the White House get demolished"

Just finished @jordanlcouch.bsky.social book.

Especially partial to tip 389 "read any book your friends or people you trust wrote"

To be fair the quality of play was so out of sybxh im not sure we ever saw angeball.

Submitting a grant at this particular moment feels a bit like tossing a rock into the abyss, but hey, at least I am no longer carrying the rock.

Dan was all of us after fifteen innings. Bless this man.

Its easy to blame Khanle for the lose but you cant strand 11+ guys on base and expect wins.
