Remember, for Lent, it is totally acceptable to give up your New Year’s Resolutions!

I’ve explained Mardi Gras and #MardiGrasIndians so many times tonight.

This is a great read from @dkroberts.bsky.social. Glad I learned of it today from @craigtimes.bsky.social.

This is 2025. In a nutshell.

Yep, I just cracked a bottle of bourbon I’ve had for 17 years and it goes for $600-2000 online!

Whoops.

Happy Christmas Eve!

I also thought, “Hey I should look that bottle up online BEFORE I drink it to see if it has any value”…

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!

And the minute I am alerted to this, he throws an interception. Dang.

I clicked on this screen capture, and my iPhone extracted this sticker from it.

Maybe we’ve been too hard on those players not knowing that they were having to listen to gospel music while practicing!

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…”

This guy is my fav, on the phone to corporate.

@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!

It was good to see him get up and walk off the field.

Finally earned that “after dark” tag.

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

Apparently it was the civil war?

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.

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.

65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

“we are working at turbo speed to deliver cost-effective and innovative ways to deliver on the American people’s mandate for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens,” Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said…except they are not…

And USPS high-frequency, short-distance, frequent stop and go is a textbook example of the most efficient way to use electric vehicles…so of course, we have to throw it out.

There was an environmental studies class about art and nature with her though that was just excellent and resulted in one of my favorite papers I have ever written.

I got assigned to her when I got there, coming from art school and all. But I had already decided to study biology and so soon switched. I remember liking her - but she got mean that I couldn’t stop saying, “Yes ma’am,” to her.
