I took my dogs out for a walk one time when some Asian students from the university walked by. They asked first, then gave them all the pets and lovin'. They asked if they could take selfies with them. My girls loved every single second of it. Best dog walk ever.

Yesterday was the first time I'd ever seen two Cybertrucks in the same day. It was at a Buc-ee's in Amarillo. Both charging up. It's usually months between sightings for me. Most of them are junk, so I guess a lot of them are bricked somewhere while Tesla fights the warranty claims.

Thanks to YouTube TV, I get to see every #PWHL game here in the US for free (well, for the price of the internet). There is no other league I can say that about. Not even the NFL. Every other US league has at least *one* game behind some sort of paywall — and usually multiple games.

Gas in Southwest Kansas is $4.09 at one station for 87 octane. I have lived in Kansas my entire life and this is the first time I've ever seen that here. My dad may not be able to afford to drive to work. He drives a 2012 Silverado and the auction house is 10 miles from his house.

While the scare quotes ("convenience") are practically a trademark of Trump rants, there are way too many tells that this isn't him. "We cannot allow" "so be it" "administrative convenience" "byproduct" That third one especially. My only question is how they determine what the intern will write.

All you have to do is look for words or phrases you know are too "big" for him. First thing, the commas are used properly. Second thing, no ALL CAPS. There's usually ALL CAPS somewhere. The tip to me: "And Iran, same thing." Although a simple sentence on the face of it...

Wait, so the Victoire CHOSE to play the Frost? You CHOSE the two-time champs? That's a bold strategy. #pwhl

I think I need a dog. That's all. Just having some feelings right now. (The one in my avatar passed away a year ago. Her name was Punky. Despite being part Boston, she made it to 16.)

You know what kind of car I want? Or at least all the car I need? One just like the 1978 Chevette Scooter I drove in high school (which, though it sounds like it should be smaller, was actually the larger one). It ran. It had a radio. The only thing I'd want that it didn't have is a/c.

The refurbished MacBook Pro with the Flashing Taskbar O'Doom (back) is being replaced with a MacBook Neo (foreground). It was super easy to set up and transfer all my stuff. And beat of all: function keys!!!

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

There is no way in hell she wrote this. She can't speak this well, so there's no doubt she can't write this well.

And somehow, I didn't learn of this until 4 in the morning. Trump. Yawn. The fake assassination attempt is now just something to mock. If he ever actually gets shot, no one's going to believe it.

All Iran has to do, really, is hold out until the mid-terms. If enough Democrats are voted in (fingers and toes crossed), then the Iranians know Trump is cooked and it'll be interesting to see how they handle things then. As long as it controls the strait, Iran holds all the cards.

Hey, Russel Brand: Can you quote me a coupe of verses? Start me off with a little verse I've heard of from Pulp Fiction and follow up with Austin 3:16. Then give me a summary of how you think both of them can make you a better man. Kthx, Scott.

One day about 10 years ago, my sister sent me a pic of her Chiweenie just sitting on the couch as if he were a person watching TV. And I memed the heck out of it. The first one was "Hey! Why are you just standing there? Go fetch me a beer!" Among the memes I made and posted to Facebook was this:

I don't know if Flavor Flav is the hero we deserve but he is the hero we need.

The Iranian Navy, which supposedly does not have a *single* ship left, is dropping mines into the Hormuz. With what boats?

It's pretty clear that RFK Jr. done fucked up here.

JFC, Kansas-Polls, if that is your real name, could you have made it a little less obvious that you were fishing for positive opinions about Kris Kobach? For those unfamiliar, he is Kansas' Attorney General. He's hated by most people, even other Republicans, which is why he's not the governor.

Published in the Nov. 11, 1994 edition of the Fort Scott Tribune: Jason Sudekis' greatest day as a Fort Scott Community College Greyhound. He ended up being ineligible to play second semester, found his way into the theater program and the rest is history.

I just started checking on my TikTok account after a hiatus. One thing about when the Chinese owned it was that every third video on my "For You" was NOT an ad for some grifter using region for profit.

The verse Hegseth *really* intended to quote was Austin 3:16, which still doesn't apply because no ass has been whupped from what I can tell.

Fox is determined to make me watch Telemundo's coverage. And my Spanish is crap ... 10 useless credit hours in a junior-college course taught by a man who flirted with the redhead in the front row every day.

I went over to Mastodon for a while earlier today. I hadn't been there for a while. There was nothing on my home page. It was as if I'd never been there before. I remember leaving Mastodon because I thought it was boring. I guess that must have been because I never saw anything.

My Discover page works again! (For how long, though?)

It's weird that my "Following" feed is working but my "Discover" feed isn't.

What would be forbidden about reading my notifications?

My Flashing Taskbar O'Death on my MacBook Pro. Bought it refurbished about a year and a half ago for $600. And this isn't the only issue. It also runs ℎ𝑜𝑡!! I'm pretty sure it'll quit working before the year is over. I have doubts it'll make it through the summer. www.facebook.com/reel/1934148...

Who had "Going to war with the Catholic Church, who are the GOOD guys this time?" on your Apocalypse Bingo Card?

It WaS jUsT a JoKe. No OnE hAs A sEnSe Of HuMoR aNyMoRe. What was the joke? Asking for an everyone.

This guy could do pet grooming as a side hustle. If a stray will let you work on 'em, you must be good.

I wrecked my Mom's car while I was driving her to Walmart about a month ago. Instead of waiting for the check, she got impatient and bought a Nissan Murano for $2K at an auction. The transmission, one of those infamous Nissan CVTs, is partially toasted. It acts wonky when you first accelerate...

So there's a marathon of episodes of Most Extreme Elimination Challenge on YouTube right now. The episode I happened to jump in on was "College Athletes versus Mall of Baghdad." The puns would still work today.

We're the Cleveland Browns of countries. Great.

I'm betting that the major reason Google News Archive failed is because of how many pages were captured sideways for whatever goddam reason and there was no option to rotate the view. This is the only archive of my former newspaper that I know of that has issues after 1930.

Ya know, I used to be a small-town sportswriter. The town had about 7,500 people and the county had 11,000. But they loved the hell out of their Tigers. I was proud to do it. And even though I was just a small-town fishwrap, if I'm ever asked what I used to do for a living, I get embarrassed.

A little-known fact is that the WNBA season being in the summer allowed Dawn Staley to coach Temple while also playing for the Charlotte Sting. Not a one-time thing, either Several years.

An appropriate hat for Easter Weekend. Being in the US, I'm wondering if anyone will think it has to do with anything other than the Easter Bunny. #nrl

Of all the altcasts ESPN has ever done, this one for the Women's Final Four might be the worst. There's long periods of time when no one says a word. It's like none of them know why they're there.

I guess only in America would Catholics have the audacity to tell the Pope to go fuck himself.

If I were in charge of a newspaper today, my first edict would be: "There are things we know are not normal. They should be reported as not normal. If you disagree with this, you are free to resign."

I think my mom is ready to abandon Trump. She's distressed about a lot of things he's done. She's just not yet ready to say the words. The thing is, I have no idea why she supported a party that was going to do the opposite of what she wants other than that she believed all the boogeyman stuff.

At least one of Trump's Supreme Court appointees (Barrett for certain) claimed to be "originalists" when it came to the Constitution. This will be a test of how serious they were when they said that because what was the *original* intent of the 14th Amendement? Also...

My bank just sent me an email saying that where was an online document for me to virtually sign. Just before I can see the document, I get a "we have to send you a code" page. I tried to get a code four times. Now I have maxed out the attempts. The bank's getting an angry phone call tomorrow.

Lawn. Off.

@royals.com, may I say you guys are doing a wonderful job here on Bluesky? Keep up the good work!

I REALLY need to get my Dad off Facebook. I just had to confirm for him that neither Danny Manning nor Roy Williams are dead. This happens often. Someone posts fake deaths and I have to find out for him if they've actually died. I have yet to confirm the death of anyone he asks about.

I'm a 58-year-old overweight asthmatic man on disability and I still think I could beat up the ginger with the glasses.

OK, I wasn't expecting the Sirens-Torrent game to begin with an announcer's apology. #pwhl
