FOUR DAYS LATER…

I’ve read 11 books over the last 96 hours, and four of them have been Hemingway. Guess that’s mostly what we’re doing after all.

Get ready for Hokie Hokie Chokie Hy!

I need recommendations first! Not looking for bottom of the barrel, but also not concert hall-worthy. Good quality and good tone for a mediocre player at best. Any thoughts?

Now that the USL1 season is officially over, I’m giving serious consideration to acquiring a trumpet for the 2026 @unionomaha.bsky.social campaign…

DPI on underthrown long balls are a plague on the NFL.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Three NFL games all with a score of 6–7.

The Kids™ have got to be losing their minds right now.

That’s USTEDA Tagovailoa to you now.

Peak draft position preservation.

Read the whole thread, please.

“Gay pushed far right” in the NFL Madrid game hits WAY different after this past week.

YES, Nebraska! Out here in Omaha, we are PROUD to be the Blue Dot!

Started reading @itsafronomics.bsky.social’s The Double Tax last night…and didn’t go to bed until I finished it at 3:00am. Super informative—and, frankly, enraging—I loved that it was not only backed with facts but also came with a clear set of action plans for the future. READ THIS.

On the one hand, at least we’re not Michigan State Bad…

This isn’t happening. This isn’t real.

They assume that liberals have the same cult-like adoration for Clinton (or any other Dem leader) that MAGAs have for Trump. One of many, many things about which they are terribly wrong.

Methinks these “god-fearing” ICE agents don’t fear God OR the people enough.

My last two Google searches are “Nancy Reagan” and “thats a penis gif” and I SWEAR they are unrelated.

And yet just yesterday I had to think about Trump blowing Clinton. What an awful week to have an imagination.

Turns out I’m doing that thing with Hemingway where I didn’t read much of him when I was younger (and what I did read didn’t resonate with me), but now I’m older and whoops looks like I’m going to read the entirety of his oeuvre, aren’t I?

But would you say you pledge allegiance to her hands, her team, her vibes?

I’ll see myself out.

So nice.

Proved to me just a couple years ago that novels could still move me in monumental ways.

Outside my back deck right now:

I hate that after four years of his bullshit, I once again and STILL have to care about what he says and does, and that those statements and actions have a daily impact on my life.

I wish I hadn’t posted on Saturday night how good I was feeling. As always, it’s all too fleeting. Everything feels like it’s on fire all over again, and hope seems specifically designed to let me down.
