Sending all the good vibes.

My son was my first and only. Is this your first or do you actually have some practice?

Saw it tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

“He was white.”

“Oh, you’re Tony’s brother. How is he?”

All-timer.

He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No
Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.

I turned 39 and a month later my kid was born. He’s 13 now.

You gone be tired a lot.

Grab joy whenever you can.

Tonight, it was a spontaneous decision to take the 13-year-old to see the new Naked Gun.

Solid parenting choice.

The 30-Year-Old Baby is a sci-fi title from a 1974 issue of Omni.

You know that game we played as a kid. The one where the floor is lava?

Same thing, only imagining or planning anything more than a few weeks ahead is impossible. The future is lava.

No way to see the path ahead.

But we are grabbing joy where we can. Every day.

Gowron from Stark Trek, but he's Mr. Rogers, and he says "Glory to you... and your neighborhood."

We have the most openly corrupt president in history and the opposition still seems to tiptoe around the issue.

Run on erasing them from public life and governmental power. Forever.

In my days of covering college sports, I used to love a men’s and women’s basketball double-header.

The NBA and WNBA are missing a huge opportunity to slightly tweak their regular season schedules and create 2-3 instances every season of something similar on the professional level.

I love it, too.

Generally speaking, I think Evans’ Cap is always pretty solid, but First Avenger and Winter Soldier made me believe other super heroes would follow him into battle.

If we are lucky, the second FF will follow sort of like Capt America: Winter Soldier, which is absolutely my favorite MCU movie and spent a lot of energy reinforcing Cap as a hero among heroes.

Like Winter Soldier, a second FF will follow an Avengers joint.

Some related—I used some the information you shared with me in my manuscript to introduce a bit of mystery into the plot.

Where have the marooned colonists been getting Deuterium? And shielding material?

Now I gotta come up with Space Libyans.

16) Stole this one from a recent skeet I saw:

If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously.

Just under 1,000 miles of road time since 8am yesterday. The Flaming Lips have confirmed I am not epileptic.

I ran from sports writing at a small daily for a variety of reasons. Two years later, the same company asked me to be the executive editor for a three-day-a-week publication.

I listened to their offer and turned them down, cold.

I’d love to know your story, if you want to share.

Driving to Chattanooga and I spotted a dilapidated flatbed truck proudly emblazoned with the slogan “I didn’t get this far by shakin’ hands.”

I couldn’t help but think: that dude sucked a lot of dick to only end up driving a shitty truck.

I can’t be the only one to jump to that conclusion.

It’s the First Day of School, 8th grade edition, for the Rooster.

Rather than lament the passing of time, I’m embracing every new moment as Time passes and transforms my favorite human into new and better versions of himself.

Sydney Sweeney puts on a pair of jeans and you all write thinkpieces.

Y’all just remember to take joy every single time you can. Don’t feel guilty about it.

Joy is like air. If you run out, the game may be over.

My joy today: a call from my Texas Bestie and watching my son play with our puppy.

I think you have to fail an IQ test to go on Fox. It’s their way of making sure they get a nice, steady stream of the dumbest motherfuckers alive in front of the gullible rubes actually watching Fox.
