Hint: It's someone who slacked on getting the flu shot. D'oh.

Minnesota is the best of us.

I fell down some stairs in Amsterdam at a software conference. I thankfully was able to grab onto the railing, so no face planting, but maaan my right foot hurt after that.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Winter depression is worst depression.

How exciting! I hope it went well

Things are tough, y'all.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a corridor on the Enterprise. Two non series regular crew members are standing behind Spock in a bodyguard stance. (Tough guy bodyguard vibe, not Kevin Coster/Whitney Houston bodyguard vibe). Spock is wearing a dress uniform with extra flair, medals, and pins, a golden sash, and has a goatee. He's looking at Kirk, who seems a bit cocky and is wearing a glittery fancy gold sleeveless uniform. Closed caption reads, "Terror must be maintained or the empire is doomed."

Zach got that heat. 🔥

Oh hell yeah! 🎵
I think I am going to be expanding my vinyl collection this year. Only picked up a few the last couple of years.

I won't regurgitate what you said, but I feel this. Slightly different lens, because of course, but yeah.
Not sure if you're done with the thread, but bravo.

Today is Omaha .NET User Group day. So, the pounding headache aside, it is a good day.

I've been meaning to do another playthrough. Especially after playing through FFT: TIC. It's been years.

I've always struggled with body image. Especially lately, since I put on a lot of the weight I lost. This photo certainly resonates with Matty's theme of "cooler than I am" and makes me want to get back into shape.
