I know what Claude is. It’s the computer.

Just poking my head back into the automotive world after a chaotic few days. I think the new EV Highlander looks good. It’s a weird move since the hybrid was so popular. But if any automaker can make it work, it’d be Toyota. In a few years, I’d like to see new/returning Highlander buyer metrics.

Update: Good news - My dad is recovering well. He’s definitely not 100%, but Johns Hopkins has done a phenomenal job at helping him get back on his feet. He’s still in the hospital, but he might be home as early as the end of the week. No idea what the future looks like, but we are optimistic.

I’m at the store if anyone wants anything

He’s acting suspicious

There was a gap in the press car schedule, but since I am now my family’s hospital shuttle, the press car fleet people were kind enough to let me have a car for the week. I’ve a Ford Maverick Lobo.

My dad was able to identify a GMT400 Tahoe and pictures of Davis, so that’s good. But he was having trouble remembering who was in Steely Dan, which is concerning because he’s seen them in concert like 20 times.

So it turns out that my dad had a stroke. He’s alive, thank God. And he’s ambulatory. But I don’t know what recovery is going to look like. My mom is fortunately very competent with that kind of thing and we have many friends in the medical field.

Davis

I'm not a 16 year old Latino kid, so Bad Bunny is mostly a blind spot as far as my music tastes go. But I really appreciated that the halftime show was fun, positive, and set out to spread themes of unity. It wasn't as grimdark as everything else. It said that we all Americans. Let's have some fun.

I am a fan of Gengar and Quagsire as far as Pokémon go

It’s Cooper

Bad Bunny IS NOT, in fact an ill-behaved rabbit. He is, of course, a human man of indeterminate morality.

Can I get my AI to gamble for me?

Extremely disappointed that the Seahawks coach isn’t going to sing “What a Fool Believes” with Bad Bunny during the halftime show.

Enjoying all the hilarious commercials!

Eadting My Food

My dad’s brain threw a breaker so he’s at the hospital (he’s probably fine). I’m sitting in the hospital cafeteria with a broken tooth. Happy Super Bowl Sunday to all who celebrate!

Hollerin’ in the grocery store parking lot

Not a lot of gun chat on here, but “The One That Got Away” for me was a John Wick’d Benelli M4 on clearance for $800 at Dick’s Sporting Goods when they stopped selling guns. Another one was a 9mm Chinese Type 54 Tokarev clone for $150 in the box at a gun show.

Luv too break a tooth

I passed most of the Gran Turismo 7 demo driving tests on the first or second try on Intermediate difficulty. I’m ready for them to make a movie about me now.

Aside from maybe a few cameras, the nicest thing I own is my Hamilton Khaki mechanical watch. I wear it almost every day. It looks good on my baby wrists.

I think a lot of MAGA guys angry about Bad Bunny are too stupid to know that Puerto Rico is part of America.

I think about the first gen Ford Super Duty quite a bit

Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, son of Loki and bane of Thor during Ragnarök, smells like cigarettes.

He’s become Flat

Going to the Store

Yeah baby

Just reading the news gives me immediate psychic damage like I'm a gen 1 pokemon

I googled “ski jump Olympics penis scandal” and now I have an email from my pastor and the parental block on my computer won’t go away 😞

Ace Combat 7, but only because I paid full price a full 24 hours before it went on sale for $20.

There’s a gap in the press car schedule, so I’m driving only the best GM product

The Boy

I fell down the wikipedia hole and read about Hank Aaron. Everything about his career/life was insane. 755 home-runs, 3,771 hits, and he played for 23 years. Not only that, but he was a giant in the Civil Rights movement and seemed to be an all-around great guy.

In completely unrelated news, I purchased a PS5 yesterday and I've been playing the God of War reboot from 2018. Folks, I know I am VERY late to the party. It's a good game.

Debating coming back to this site at all. Turns out, having all of the bad news in the world shoved in your face as fast as 5G internet will allow isn’t all that good for my mental health. Here is Davis being a sleepy boy.

Logging out for a bit. Here's Davis melted into the couch. Good night.

At my own peril, I often read TikTok comments. For an app that's supposedly used by The Enlightened Youth, the comment section on just about every video is filled with gutter racism, baseless conspiracy theories, homophobia and transphobia. I can't tell if it's all bots or just shitty people.

Don’t worry, TikTok is on the case. The real power in the world is held by *checks notes* Italian nobles from the 12th to 18th century

Bridge on the River Kwai

I used to be part of a large church that hosted potlucks that were open to the public every few months. Without fail, creepy dudes would show up and start talking to young women there for too long. The senior pastor's wife gave me the job of "Creepy Bob Patrol."

I bet if the Nazis had email in 1942, they would be as equally insane and typo-ridden as the Epstein emails. To: R_Heydrich From: Da_Fuhrer I thik u shuld ride in a convertble when ur in Prage. . That Merc looks sweet w th top down, .. Lets hang out at eagle nets soon... luv, Big H

If I were Fitzcarraldo, I would simply get the steamship over the Andes mountains. I really shouldn't be that much of an ordeal.
