If you ever believe racism isn't a problem, look at local news station Facebook page. The comments about Dr. Nirav Shav are disgusting.

As much as I have struggled over the last nine or so months, I take pride in knowing I never started a "March for Billionaires."

Catching up on the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. Steven's tie in the quarterfinal game is impeccable.

Bracket City is broken this morning.

I hate it here. I hate it here. I hate it SO much.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Oh God. www.wabi.tv/2026/01/26/c...

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti. Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

“Why would you bring a gun to a protest?” Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

I taught a significant number international students for three years. (The one at my public school this year transferred.) While most of them return to their home countries, others chose to remain in America for their college education. I am terrified for their future and safety.

I never thought I'd live to see the day where 60 Minutes fell so low.

2nd Amendment folks, where you at?

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

I say this with love: no. Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand. There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.

Not only are they not going after the worst of the worst, I have seen countless articles over the last year of immigrants being arrested outside their immigration appointments. If you want them to do things the proper way, why are you arresting them? You cannot have it both ways.

It pains me how right she is.

Jared Golden is a coward and thank God that clown is not running for re-election. I am embarrassed to have ever voted for him.

I am forever grateful for Dr. Shah but our next governor should be Troy Jackson.

He's got a point.

Oh, hell yeah. My Internet friend is going to be on Jeopardy! again! 2026, you gave me a glimmer of hope.

I'm taking every small win I can. Enjoy tonight's sunset.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I'll watch tomorrow morning but that is an ALL-TIME Jeopardy! outfit. Retro good luck @ianm5280.bsky.social

Abolish ICE. I wish I could say more.

A little disappointed I lost Learned League yesterday but I got a 3 pointer so I'll take that! Being an English teacher pays off! (And boy howdy do I need to work on geography.)

After over two weeks, I finally got my third Learned League win of the season!!

If you park in somebody else's spot at an apartment complex that has minimal visitor parking, you are a butt face.

Zootopia 2 is excellent.

I'd like to thank God, the Force, the universe, and anyone else that I do not know people as horrible as Chad's parents.

When you make a spelling error that costs you an insta-get in Learned League

Looking to cancel my NYT subscription. What are your favorite free games so I can still get my Wordle/Strands/Mini etc. fix?

345th. I'm gonna make an amazing 2026 out of spite.

The turn around from thinking I forfeited yesterday's Learned League to realizing I technically won because my opponent forfeited is startling.

Sooooooo close. Thrice Game #865 → 13 points! 🎲: 3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣1️⃣ thricegame.com

Imagine Angus King throwing away his legacy like this.

I hate everything.

I just realized I didn't have a single student ask me about the election today. Huh.

Oh Maine, Where I'm ready for bed at 6:30.

Following up, it looks like movement is being made for me to actually meet with Platner. Should it happen, I'll keep folks posted and definitely come with questions and concerns. I'll hold off on an official follow-up piece until then. The beauty of Maine is that this is a small state, connections

First 5K in over a year without any real training or gym time in God knows how long. Time: 38:55. My legs are a bit sore (but not nearly as bad as I expected). I'm quite pleased and I might actually start working out again.

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS

Rough start to the morning. I know nobody puts Wordle on their timelines anymore but this sucks. Stupid Hard Mode. Wordle 1,559 X/6* 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜

I just saw that today's date (9/16/25 in America, 16.9.25 in the civilized world) is a series of squares: 3x3/4x4/5x5 Everything is terrible, but that's something cool about today that we can all enjoy for a moment. Math is a language of the Universe. I love when I hear it like this. #numbernerd

Signed up for a 5K in October. Let's go.
