No MeanCat, but a real soaker here in Sandfly.

I love Mamdani New York.

What's 4 lbs of lobster among friends?

I don't always drink beer but when I do....

If you had told 14 yo me that someday I would be watching lacrosse on my phone on a plane...

I will be a soldier in the CT lobster roll wars this weekend. "To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents." -W Churchill

Definitely include this in your commencement address Mr Solomon. Please, tell everyone how it's ok that AI may replace you because your great grandpa didn't have AC. Sorry you can't buy a house. (he's not sorry) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/o...

I was part of a new article up on @agu.org GBC if you are interested in comparing dust measurements to model estimates. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Well this is pretty cool

Reviews are in on student's first manuscript. And they are helpful! Breathe in...slow exhale.

There is no wrong way to watch lacrosse but with ice cream is the preferred method.

This freaking guy... I am beyond relieved that he will no longer represent my district.

Leveled up this morning. I had to stop back at the house after dropping the kids at school. I had forgotten my readers.

After an up and down regular season, a thrilling win for the boys in brown to stay alive in the PL tournament. On to play USMA on Friday. Too bad I'll be working the state playoffs at the same time. lehighsports.com/news/2026/4/...

EXCLUSIVE My big behind-the-scenes look into how Gov. Josh Shapiro has courted Amazon amid the mounting backlash to data centers Complete with internal emails, memos, an “exclusive” offer for help with faster permitting and a NDA no one would explain to me. My latest for @heatmap.news 😌

This summer the 10 yo is starting his concert going life with the genius of Weird Al. If this doesn't set the hook for live music appreciation, I don't know what will.

1/3 of students in my class submitted writing that was flagged by our university approved AI detector. 50 of 150 students. I warned their work would be screened and that AI use was unacceptable.

Taking the 13 yo to the record shop. Adulting can be fun.

Every couple of months, my brain asks "What's Lee Baines up to?" And then it gets hella righteous up in here

Made it through three essays before finding the first submission of AI slop from the plagiarism machine. Only 147 to go...

I can't do much on this car, but I can replace the washer fluid pump.

Gotta love an email from a student wishing you a great weekend. Especially when it lands at noon on Thursday. Well done, young student. I too opposed Friday classes.

Cool cool cool.

Wednesday would be the biggest band in America if we still lived in a proper country.

They have a record store next to the brewery.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

My latest for The New York Times: a look at the life & legacy of the late great D. Boon. Visited San Pedro to talk to the surviving Minutemen, Mike Watt and George Hurley, as they continue to carry forward the spirit of Boon and the band. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/a...

Still on the grid but this is progress. Now if GA had net metering then I would have installed panels already.

We are governed by cowards in ill fitting shoes.

I worry that we are a bit too cavalier about sending unarmed sailors to the bottom. But then we also bomb schools and brutalize our own veterans as well.

Plus you might get measles or mercury poisoning. So much winning...

Maybe if I had AOC helping me with my pronunciation, Duolingo would be easier.

Will Reginald call in from the National Zoo?

I'm reading this now. You should too. Expertly weaves discussion of music with the author's lived experience in ways that are compelling and heartbreaking.

Patel has to be called before Congress to explain himself, right?

I was rooting for Canada and after seeing the scene in the locker room I feel good about that.

The wind blew over my basketball goal. That thing has 300 pounds of sand in the base!

And that's a wrap on four years of coaching my youngest's bball team. He is off to middle school next year. Yes I called TO to take him off in the last minute and yes, those were tears. It all goes so fast.

Thank you to the litigators who stood up for us and the Constitution. Gotta love it when the Sad Clown takes an L. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

I bought Sid Meier's Civ VI for $5 and introduced the game to my kids. I haven't seen them for days.

I have entered my final week as a lower school basketball coach. Four years of coaching my son and his friends has been a thrill and they taught me more than I taught them.
