Just an absolutely amazing voice and musician. May we all stand unshaken amidst a crashing world.

Putting on "Les Miserables" 25th anniversary concert at O2, because I'm feeling pretty 1848y today.

I think I made a mistake turning down a job this summer because it would have required me to commute downtown three days a week and I couldn't have continued coaching. The job postings online just keep getting worse and worse. Terrible organizations to work for, terrible AI-written postings, etc.

What about an 'ass blast'?

The comments on this entirely normal post are wild. There is no false equivalency between left and right to the scope of the problem of being self-righteous assholes online, but as I always say, any group of more than three people is gonna have assholes. Found 'em. Our society is cooked.

5th worst on the season for total Batter and Pitcher calls against them (totFav) Worst and only team in the negative for calls against them while batting (totBI). Somehow 5th best at calls for them when pitching, which makes the overall rating that much more horrific since it's ALL batting.

Did the Republican Party see the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and think those are the only things the United States is allowed to do?

For fuck's sake. I'm blocking anyone speculating about the demise of the current occupant of the White house because of traffic patterns outside Walter Reed - an area with some of the screwiest traffic in the country.

Can we not spread disinformation / misinformation, please? If / when it happens, reliable media outlets such as the AP or Reuters will report it. Social media memes, dreams, and wishful thinking isn't helping anyone or anything. Be better than Twitter, people.

My kid's not a kid anymore, but can I still do #ProudDad posts? Introducing Dr. Alison Duck, PhD - Astronomy from The Ohio State University!

I get the inclination to poopoo things said by this administration, but I'll note that this isn't a new idea (even if expedited). Nuclear power is a viable (and already done way, even if the scale is different) of power generation on other worlds. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Rockville Wrestling has grown in size over the past few years, with 30+ boys and 15+ girls now signed up! We're fundraising for 35 new singlets to keep everyone on the team looking great, feeling good, and unified on the mat. app.schoolfundr.org/fund/rockvil...

Champs get to do champs things. MPSSAA 1A Softball state champs Mardela honored by the Orioles in a pre-game ceremony. I made it onto a MLB field!

Maybe drinking all that hose water wasn't a good idea.

You're a hero, too, George.

1. It was Joey's world and we were all just living in it... or maybe I was just a teenage boy with a massive crush. 2. The comments on this post are top notch. Well done fellow Elder Millennials!

@govwesmoore.bsky.social We need strong leadership in Southern Maryland to rebuild the Thomas Johnson Bridge. It's 2 lanes with 4 lane roads on either side, a massive daily bottleneck. It's in disrepair. It's a critical artery for Pax NAS and escape route for Calvert Cliffs. Please help.

Came across @cynicalhistorian.bsky.social on Bluesky via a random reply and thought, "Awesome. Today is gonna be a good day." Then I remembered it's still 2025, so I'll settle for the day upgrading from standard shitshow to tolerable. Thanks for your work, Cypher.

Are you hiding out under there?

Bet you're feelin' good as hell now.

I'm not sure what I'm missing more today: my 20 year old metabolism or my 20 year old back.

I had a thought about this, but nev ermind.

I love this picture of my wife.

The windmills are working overtime today.

what i think of when you say all-female space crew

How much generational trauma can my cohort take before we break? My grandparents were hit with the Great Depression and WWII, the two most traumatic events for Americans in the 20th century. They also got the economic boom of the 1950s and even during future events were able to build on that. 1/

I'm pretty sure they're okay with that. They already have more money than they could ever need - I mean, private citizens are now doing what the entire nation invested in for over a decade... going to space. They don't care about raw numbers, but percentages. Success isn't $100 billion, it's 100%.

After 15 years, I have cancelled my Amazon account.

Thank you for your patience! Read my latest long-form analysis of how the 2022 Wings Over Dallas air show went tragically wrong. admiralcloudberg.medium.com/passing-the-...

On a scale of 1 to The Dominion War, how likely are we to see an actual Bell Riots scenario in the next four years? Was thinking about that episode today and it hit harder than normal.

I am from near St. Mary's City, founded by the Calverts after they relocated to warmer climates following a stop on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland. Does this qualify me for citizenship in Canada?

A loss for The Kennedy Center as great as any, but the right choice. A voice from heaven!

@bsky.app - Please update your starter pack code to allow a person to remove themselves. Nobody should be forced to be in a starter pack if they don't want to.

One month of unemployment. No nibbles. The job market is crashing and there's about to be a glut of highly qualified and competent workers available from the federal government purge.

So, uh... anyone hiring a data guy? Laid off today due to severe budget cuts at my (former) org.

I'm really looking forward to January and the inauguration of a new president, ending the second Trump administration that has been so awful the last four years. What? OH MY GOD, IT HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET

This is why I always leave the first server to die nailed to the wall of the server room... as a lesson for all the other servers in there.
