So, if I take my 15yo to a concert of a band I listened to in middle school, does that automatically make it “dad rock”?

Conflicted about A’s @ Seattle today. For years, M’s were my go-to 2nd choice team, at least in the AL. With the A’s leaving town, have they moved into 1st? Is it that easy to give up a lifetime of fandom so quickly?

How I can tell leftists have lost the plot is that conservative criticisms of the Left often come off sounding quite reasonable these days.

I’m at 15/20, but I’m a Marvel fanboy.

Oh, I’ve got that same view!

How does “walking distance from Hawaii to a Waffle House” work?

Wow, that’s a big gap after just 2 rotations.

Cal Women’s Gymnastics is clearly great, but I have no idea who is winning b/c the scoreboard needs a reboot

This work week was a “glass of scotch at 5pm on Friday, stat” kind of week.

Issue all the Executive Orders you want, but “Gulf of America” has extreme “Freedom Fries” vibes.

I’m not in Camp Dismay with you only because this Administration has gone exactly as I expected. It seems all so predictable, we’ve seen this movie before. What else were people expecting with this guy?

Migrations to BlueSky have been coming in waves. This site is waaaay more interesting than it was when I joined late in 2023, and I expect that to continue.

Oh yeah, them too

Not letting the decisions of teenagers affect my happiness…not letting the decisions of teenagers affect my happiness…not letting the decisions of teenagers affect my happiness…

The boomers are talking BlueSky over Christmas dinner, I think this place has legs…

Stocking stuffers, you say…

As a saxophone player married to a trombone player, this is like a proxy for our relationship.

Rather disappointing that the bowling alley contained within a Wahlburger that is itself inside a Bass Pro Shop located inside a giant pyramid build on the banks of the Mississippi doesn’t have the highest quality lanes or equipment. Shocking, even.

Health care in the US is fucked up in a lot of systemic ways, either caused or exacerbated by gov’t and market forces.

The glee folks seem to have at the assassination of a health care CEO appalls me. The man was murdered for the sins of the system. Nothing in health care will improve b/c of this.

Trying to help the kids learn French for school so we’re currently watching the French dub of Lego Batman (with English subtitles for me) and it’s seriously the greatest thing ever. We are wheezing, falling over, literally ROFL!

I. JUST. WANT. THE. RECIPE. I. DON'T. WANT. FOUR. PAGES. OF. STORY. ABOUT. HOW. THIS. WAS. YOUR. AUNT. LINDA'S. FAVORITE. DISH. ON. WINTER. ESCAPES. TO. THE. MOUNTAINS.

My assumption is that meeting the criteria of “decent billionaire” almost requires keeping their head down (and quietly giving away a lot of wealth).

As a manager, when an employee submits a self-evaluation written in an overwrought style that suggests they farmed the task out to ChatGPT, what’s the move here? Do I even acknowledge this?

I think “healthy and disciplined Cal team” is where I’d call you delusional.

Just got asked to share my location on a fucking Unsubscribe web page. As if I wasn’t already over your emails enough!

Cal Football: Unsurpassed in the Field of Mediocrity

Never. Go Bears is Pain. Embrace it.

The test for BlueSky will not be “do political grifters and other low-value accounts show up here?” but rather “how easy is it to ignore the low-value accounts on here?”
