The listening age thing on Spotify Wrapped was 75. But my top songs playlist is mostly pop songs, most of which came out in the last few years.

I mean true. But remember that when you're watching Oklahoma games and convincing yourself the refs are out to get you

Pennsylvania tied elections decided by marbles, drawing lots Tie elections happen frequently in low-profile races in PA. Some say reform is needed.

Why marbles, playing cards, and ping pong balls decide so many local Pa. races https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/11/pennsylvania-tied-elections-casting-lots-marbles-elections/

My wife and I are not fans of horses. So your equine vendetta is delightful to us!

Wife and I stayed at my brother in law's this week. Guest bed is good, but just different enough that I somehow tweaked my right shoulder and now I feel like I over did exercise or something

I've watched Trump for a long time. Nothing shocks. Then he defended a murderer | Opinion President Donald Trump held an Oval Office meeting with the Saudi prince suspected of having journalist Jamal Khashoggi killed. What he said floored me.

I could not believe what I was seeing. It takes a lot for Trump to shock me anymore, but this did. Disgusting.

Oh man. Yeah, definitely take it easy. There's rarely a situation where pushing yourself harder is the right call. Especially when you don't have an outside source requiring it

Yes, and: There are lots of reporting jobs at startup nonprofit local news organizations doing really important work outside of corporate ownership, for any journalists willing to consider living outside of the nation's three largest cities!

We're moving into Holiday Time and I can already hear the comments:

"You're eating so healthy!" is just as invasive as "Should you really be eating that?"

Both are commentary on YOUR body. 🧵

I'm seeing some middle aged men whose hearts I really do think are in the right place NONETHELESS making dumb "sexy time" jokes about the Epstein stuff. Just a default setting of heh heh, whoa sex heh heh.

I feel like a real drag for scolding about this, but c'mon man. Discernment, Even in jokes.
