If you're a good driver and drive a manual, you know www.jalopnik.com/2206392/driv...

If you think his affect on the Knicks and USMNT is bad, wait until I tell you how much he’s fucked up our whole country

🎶I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Meet me at the creek grab a beer and tap your feet See that muddy water flowing down 🎶

I’ll never tire of trying to make the perfect pancake, knowing that such a thing does not exist, but that the journey to the unknowable is what sustains the human spirit. Through pancakes we can learn about ourselves, and the stars of which we’re made.

Cooking pancakes on the farm to the sultry stylings of Billy Strings

The moon and the farm are performing their magic together

I’m on board with a yellow card there, but in no way was that red.

Buying a tractor for the farm was by far the best thing I’ve ever done. Love driving that thing.

Nice

Fresh cut at a new salon, blue skies, sunroof open, and catching the end of Fixin To Die and then this Ya Mar into Mike’s Song on WEQX. Life is really, really good.

It should have occurred to me that the monthly Friday night out would be a Pride block party. Giving off hot dad vibes rocking my cargo shorts, polo shirt and cap.

Wow, Ecuador 🇪🇨 What a beautiful game.

My first The Wood Brothers show was so much more than I expected, far more rock and improv than their first album let on, the only music of theirs I was familiar with. Jano Rix on percussion was a joy. Do not miss these guys.

New piano music to learn. This should keep me busy for awhile.

Made chopped cheese for the family last night

8 was curious why school was closed today. We talked all about the history of the US, that slavery was legal even here in NY, but that by 1776 and 1860, the lines were drawn; what the civil war was really about, what Lincoln did, why we celebrate June 19, and how important it is to love each other.

I love how sharing knowledge is subtweeting all the blockheads in power. This week in things I’ve learned on Bluesky, all about pool coatings.

Started the day the best way possible, followed by a nap, then an hour power yoga session that was everything, a smoothie breakfast, then shopping for a full suite of glasses and now sipping and lunching at a favorite brewery before I’m back home with the family for the USA World Cup game.

The algorithm isn't all bad, you just have to trick it into being useful; I don't know if I ever would have heard this absolute gem from the 70s. I can think of a few bands that could absolutely crush this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxfa...

Occasional reminder that whatever tech you’re using here, phone or box, the woman on my left in the photo— that’s trans pioneer Lynn Conway who IBM fired when she wanted to transition — had a big part in that tech’s existence. She co-invented VLSI! Remembering her during Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Not your typical Pride parade soundtrack but it was a helluva fun drive to the parade on a beautiful Sunday morning ☀️🌈

Goal!!

The market likes catchy names for a bundle of high profile stocks that are joined together. I suggest we go with "Spaceanthrope"

Maybe not best to announce your plan to take someone's prized possessions, such that a scorched earth defensive retreat can be organized. But, I'm no grand strategist.

Hadestown is a favorite in our family; 8 listens to the songs every day. If you’re a theater fan, I highly recommend seeing this. playbill.com/article/hade...

It was a hot and sweaty run today, starting with Bad Romance and Teeth on the mix, and finishing with TiK ToK www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWeJ...

Finally realized I could hookup my antennae and watch the game. I got to use my box of forgotten cables! For coax!

Meet Wendell, the yeasted waffle batter. I didn’t take pictures of the waffles, but there’s no leftovers, so there you go. Served with homemade sausage patties that also had rave reviews and no pictures. A proper breakfast to celebrate 23 years of marriage 🩷

Utica Club on draft and watching the local Frontier League team

In the past week and for the first time in ages, I’ve seen two groups of youths hacky sacking

mRNA and customized therapies are the future and the future is wonderful.

My boy played great baseball tonight and so did his teammates, staying in it and winning 11-10 top of the 6th for their first win of the 11-12y rec season. He pitched 2 innings with several strikeouts, a couple RBIs, made several outs at first. Love that kid ❤️

Make love and pancakes, not war

First light on the clouds and landscape was quite special this morning here at Brant Lake!

8 and I had a cool conversation this morning. We talked about how an elephant and feather would fall at the same rate in a vacuum. But of course, they're very different, and that difference is mass, and mass times velocity is energy, and where does that energy go when they each stop at the ground?

Last cut with my stylist who’s moving on 😢 For the first time in maybe 15 years I have to start all over picking a new business/stylist.

So happy with how this print looks with the two tone green matting.

They actually talked about texts, and then said nothing about it in the conclusion. My reward for huge donations in 2020 was resurgent fascism and a second job, deleting spam. By 2025 I stopped entirely, especially after I put a couple bucks towards Platner before learning he’s a N***. F that noise.

I think if we really tried and put our minds to it, we could tax Jeff Bezos enough for it to matter. Challenge accepted.

WEQX perfectly on time playing Rancid when I got in the car this morning www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvIB...

Iran has the previous century's dominance of US political, military and economic power within its clutches, and all it has to do is string along a demented narcissist. It can just hold on tight and let the world teach its attacker a painful lesson. www.jalopnik.com/2173960/oil-...

Pancakes are looking good today. I changed up my usual technique and whipped the egg whites and stiffened them with corn starch.

Me: cues up some Mozart while we play with kinetic sand 8: “Ooh, can you play Vivaldi’s Spring? Or all the seasons” The kid is alright

If you needed a thread of smiling dogs today, here you go

I find it very satisfying to clean iron and steel pans to a perfect shine

I kinda like that Buckethead’s lighting is constant and low, it makes capturing him in the act a matter of good timing and feeling his vibe for when he’s not moving around the stage and the highlights are just right. Sometimes a haunting, sometimes an angel.

I’ve grown to really love this place

Forgot to post this banger that kicked off my run the other day, F-16 by Doom Flamingo www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL9_...

It would seem that many people are three cueing not just reading but quite literally everything around them; work, relationships, news, drivers, culture, art, food, their own lived experience.

Today's running shuffle started very strong www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFIq...
