Even though I realize I have absolutely no chance in winning, it’s still a relief to see that the #Powerball rolled over again after I forgot to purchase a ticket.

Had a little fanboy moment when I saw @doriskgoodwin.bsky.social sitting right next to us at our hotel lounge. Didn’t want to interrupt her but I was dying to ask her what she thought of (waves arms around) *this* presidency.

If you’re attending Tales of the Cocktail in NOLA next week, think about coming to my panel, “Small Cities, Big Cocktail Programs.” I’ll be talking with three bar owners who run great programs in smaller locales about the challenges - and opportunities - that working in a smaller market can provide.

The second the Arsenal game is about to start, it's interrupted with a special report that there is black smoke coming from a chimney in Rome. I haven't been this irritated with black smoke since Lost. #arsenal

Roll fuxking tide over their asses.

It's always good to have fresh points of view, but I don't know about you, but I would hope that the people who head the top departments in our government, had some clue about those subjects.

They are definitely not the "best people."

Compared to the education of Biden's cabinet.

Look, I realize that level of education doesn't necessarily mean intelligence, but what amazes me with this cabinet is the level achieved and how far off their education is from the post they are heading.

I think “Word of the Day” has joined the resistance.

Did you follow the news this week? - April 11, 2025 See how well you stack up with other Times readers.

Pictures from the #handsoff protest in Geneva, Il. Big turnout!

Yesterdays forecast for today: 1.6” of rain.

Today’s actual rain: .55”

Before we dive head first into all that AI can do, is it too much to ask that we can work to building a system that actually generates a dependable weather forecast? I feel like the weather forecasts in Chicagoland are never correct a few days out.

Saka is back! #arsenal #arsful

It’s really an incredible show. Noah Wylie deserves an Emmy.

My nurse wife says the medical content is very accurate (compared to other medical shows where she is complaining constantly). If a medical show could ever get chest compressions portrayed accurately, though, she would be a happy camper.

The Pitt (on @hbomax.bsky.social) is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Medical drama that my nurse wife says is incredibly accurate. Noah Wylie deserves an Emmy.

Cancelled my subscription a few weeks ago. Easy decision.

“Chelsea may have gotten away with another one…”

Feels like another game where they get away with everything and we end up getting a red card. #arsenal

Forgot how good this album is.

Wait until DOGE sets its sights on the White House for personnel cuts.

Or not, apparently.

Well, alrighty then…PSV not looking good at all.

Monthly outdoor warning siren testing hitting a little different these days.

My wife eye rolled my comments on election night when I said Russia had to have interfered in this election for the outcome. She said last night that with all of Trumps actions and orders since taking office, it is feeling more and more like that is the case.

So I popped by the local library today, and in their book-sale section I stumbled upon a 1972 tome entitled THE MIND OF ADOLF HITLER, by Walter C. Langer. I couldn’t resist flipping through it, of course, and… Well, I’ll just present this bit without comment.

What’s even more despicable is we all know his meaning is really “far better player than most [of the non-white players] who made it”

What’s interesting is in typing this, I couldn’t open your OP, so went to Reuters, NYT, and ESPN to see the quote and they don’t mention that part.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Meanwhile:

Sure, he can turn water into wine, but not sure he can turn around ManU like that.

Photo definitely not taken today. 🥶🥶🥶

Yeah, the “solution to the attacking problem” is not putting Sterling in #arsenal
