A lazy Sunday morning on the couch with my wife, good coffee and F1 on the TV is just about perfection.

Did not expect to hear Ellie Goulding and Slipknot back-to-back at Planet Fitness. Kinda glad I forgot my headphones at home today.

Not a chance. I love being in the kitchen and love the experience that comes with eating a dish that was carefully prepared, even if it's only just for me.

I'm cracking up at my desk because the next post down in my feed is the NYT promoting beauty product Prime Day sales.

“You are ahead by a century, and disappointment is getting me down.”

Anyone find out why 34 was flipping off fans in the background?

Pittsburgh has been calling the Penguins the Pens for as long as I can remember. Didn't really dawn on me until my 30s how nonsensical it is.

It’s probably fair to say we’ve always been this dysfunctional and people are just finding new ways to exploit it, no?

A trip to Tennessee wouldn’t be complete without a black bear sighting, right?

Tell Detroit trade me right fucking now

Third was picking up my daughter from the last day of school to find her in a total meltdown because she's going to miss third grade. Did not have summer vacation starting off that way on my bingo card

Next up was nearly getting t-boned on my way to campus by a service van that was stopped at an intersection and tried to get in front of me who was going 60mph on a downhill.

Today has been a day. The fun started around 7:30am when I found this guy inviting himself inside when I went to let the dogs out.

Off-campus apartment with 12 month lease?

Should have already learned it from 2106-2020. If those four years didn’t teach the lesson, I don’t know what will.

Culver’s for dessert?

Universal childcare, universal healthcare, tax the wealthy, invest in public schools, expand the Supreme Court, repeal Citizens United

It feels really hard to focus when earlier this week my kids' school was the target of a bombing/shooting attack and, now, I'm learning about an attack that could just as easily happen on my campus. My heart goes out to FSU students, faculty and staff.

I feel like the Harris-Walz campaign made an earnest attempt at this with the "weird" comments/talking points last summer. It didn't seem to be as effective as they wanted it to be.

“Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good-time dance.” youtu.be/zPjkQKfmVI8?...

That is a bear with face paint, sir.

Just finished “Adolescence.” Totally gutted. Parenting is terrifying. The world is terrifying.

I want to start building a playlist for when it happens. Who’s got some suggestions?

Somehow he and his cronies are benefitting from this. Someone needs to figure out how and report on it.

I know I’m late to the party in this but…

Thinking about the Penguins struggles and wondering if Ron Hextall as the Pens’ GM was an elaborate ruse to plant a Philly operative within the organization in order to destroy it.

@edsbs.bsky.social I’m watching D2S and getting pumped for the start of the F1 season.

It’s got me thinking about my favorite team (Ferrari) and how it’s similar to PSU football. Fairly high levels of resources and talent that often underachieves, comically, due to bad decision making. Fair?

Wait, we got into one of the 15 spots?

On my third time watching Ted Lasso. I’m far from an expert but Nate Shelly is easily a top 5 most detestable character in TV history.
