Checking out of Bsky for a bit. Seems like a good opportunity for a reset with our churchโ€™s annual weekend retreat to Prescott (70F!, mountains!) coming up Friday.

Take care of yourselves. Log off, too, if you need it!

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

They have a good mentor, too. Goes a long way.

Sorry, folks. Sounds like the civil war has been postponed due to white shooter

I'm hesitant with endpin wheels bc there's the off chance you hit a curb really hard and it bends your endpin, or worse, cracks the endpin housing.

I'd go bass buggy or a case with wheels!

What also gets to me is that it's bad in a way that you don't need any training to recognize. Any thinking undergraduate student can tell it's incoherent. In fact, it takes multiple years of training and dedication to that particular subfield to fail to realize how bad it is.

The way my son says โ€œitsy!โ€ when referring to spiders โ€” in books, my Spider-Man mug, etc. โ€” is just too much. A stake through my heart. Such cute.

Seems like I had some misconceptions, for sure.

Wife: โ€œMaybe you have sleep apnea.โ€

Me: โ€œI havenโ€™t gained that much weight.โ€

W: โ€œIt can happen to anyone. You do have allergies and wake up with dry mouth.โ€

Me: โ€œHoly shit.โ€

It would explain sleeping all the time but still being tired, the weight gain, and dehydration despite pounding water.

Lithium as everything goes the rechargeable battery route (which itself is a good thing).

My mom is a huge cardinals fan and Iโ€™m tempted to send โ€˜er this skeet.

They have been bad lately. It true.

Was it off of Route 9? I used to drive that all the time to visit my (now) wife who worked in the Berkshires.

I used to live in western Massachusetts, Northampton specifically, and your recent posts are making me miss it. So. Much.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

Two short-hair cats perched on a counter. The left cat, Bucky, is a black and white tuxedo cat with little white paws and the right cat, Sushi, is all black. Bucky stares intently while I make a latte.

Left your phone on campus? Sucks. Left your phone on campus when you bike to work? Major bummer.
