"The primary job of parents isn't to make kids happy or successful. It is to build their character." -Adam Grant My observation is that those who have strong character traits are both happy and successful.

The whole TikTok thing is disoriented.

I turned on this Hawks game at the exact right time. Wow.

My message to Zuck

Every Sunday I look at my calendar for Monday and curse the man I was on Friday

The Hawks trailed 124-107 with 6.5 minutes remaining. 32-7 run over roughly 6 minutes.

One of the more insane quarters I’ve seen. We played great but the Bulls also had a complete meltdown

I take this post back. Oh my goodness

It’s hard to win when this is happening. Sometimes it’s just not your night.

Costco has 7% annual staff turnover (93% retention), an incredibly loyal and respected customer base, solid quality, and refuses to change its food court pricing much beyond what it was 3 decades ago. It’s the third largest retailer in the country. Capitalism doesn’t have to be cruel.

Could Donald Trump be a moderating influence on an Elon Musk presidency?

If only there was someone who could have prevented this.

Watching Detroiters on Netflix and wow is this the perfect show to wind down a day to. You don’t have to think or scroll. Just dumb fun.

A grandmother, her 2 infant grandchildren, and their mother were shot and killed by the grandmother’s boyfriend in Georgia on Saturday. We should be talking about that sort of gun violence too.

But how will they remember their heritage?

My kids did great at their Christmas pageant today.

That game was wild. Go HaWWWWWWks!

There’s reason for optimism. But it’s also the hope that kills you. Going to enjoy this run though!

Chat GPT has helped me a lot with Elf on the Shelf this year. I’m not proud of this post but it’s a reality of my life right now.

Took the kids to this one. Really good!

Heck of a recovery by the Hawks after trailing 27-8 to begin the game. ATL into halftime down by 3 after very briefly taking the lead. 13-6-4 for Jalen Johnson in the half. 35 points from the bench, including 14 from Bogdanovic.

With all the football we will watch this weekend Is it too much to ask To hear this call just once? [Sound on]

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

My son had his first true sports team heartbreak today. He’s 6yo and watched @atlutd17.bsky.social lose their semifinal game this afternoon. A team he follows really closely and a sport he loves more than anything. He sat sobbing on the couch for a while after the final whistle blew.

Dang, @jonfavs.bsky.social must have been a heck of a speech writer. Tip of the hat.

Trying not to get too excited about Gaetz withdrawing his name from the AG slot because there is no telling which name will replace him.

Trae Young's 2021 post defense on Ben Simmons might have irrevocably broken the entire Sixers franchise

The NYT printed this in its op-ed section this AM: "A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law. But Mr. Trump isn’t an ordinary man." Wrong. America doesn't have a king or a divine ruler. We elect an ORDINARY MAN as president.

The best thing about Bluesky is that there is no main character.

Because I needed another network to keep up with.
