We played a charity pickle ball tournament today. Did we win? Not by a long shot. We played four rounds: lost the first, won the next two, then tied the fourth. We met some cool people and raised $250 for the dogs at #Chicago Canine Rescue. Not a bad way to end this goddamned month.

The dogs and the deer enjoyed chilling out in a local Chicago park today. Makes sense. It’s 60F in February.

I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE!

As a founding member of Team Pombon, I approve of the reactions from fellow internet posters.

Every teacher knows the eye roll at :38. :)

No thanks, Firefox.

Welcome to the Chicago Eye Institute. Watch your step!

They have some feelings.

I'm sending this clip to my friends with the last names: Hoekstra, Zylstra, and Haveman. :)

This apathy seems most visible in the gym. Despite a global pandemic that killed a million Americans, people at the gym seem oblivious to basic hygiene or consideration for others.

Oh my God -- the images coming out of Jaslico are awful.

I love voting by mail in #Chicago. Every election, I'm tempted to insert a picture of our two #dogs into the ballot. I don't do this because the fear of spoiling the process is greater than the desire to brighten a poll worker's day. Instead, I'll share it with the internet.

The pickleball tournament benefiting #Chicago Canine Rescue is next weekend. James and I are looking forward to being humiliated at an athletic event for the care of #dogs (and the people who care for them). It occurred to me last night that we didn't have (and would need) pickleball paddles.

Democrats could make a supercut of this sundowning Nazi saying when Americans will “start to see” the results of his stupidity.

The answer to why she learns…!

What they said (and what we are thinking).

It’s odd that there are two people formerly known as Prince.

Today was magical. It's a sunny, 60F in February IN CHICAGO. The last meeting of James' day was canceled and the last class of my day was canceled. So, at 3 o'clock we took Taco and Queso to the park for a long walk.

Punk's not dead.

YouTube is not working.

Our home had a talk about that Super Bowl ad before it even ended. We have two dogs but wouldn't use that technology for any reason. Fucking literal spyware.

“A comfort of dogs” Queso and Taco asleep on a Tuesday morning in February. #dogs @dogsof.bsky.social

This is mutual aid.

The Patriots players might be disappointed but they're still millionaires.

Man, this is exactly what we thought on seeing Ring's commercial. Fuck all of that noise.

AMAZING TURNOVER BY SEATTLE!

Anyone else notice that the NFL is playing 1990's Seattle bands leading into the commercial breaks? I've heard Soundgarden and The Screaming Trees (so far).

Mr Beast in an AI Salesforce advertisement is peak trash television.

SEATTLE TOUCHDOWN! FINALLY!

TURNOVER AND SEATTLE GETS IT!

BEST POKEMON commercial featuring Luxray!

ENYA! Represent, girl.

Oh my God, was that Pedro Pascal?

Not a single touchdown in the first half of a Super Bowl.

The best indication that AI is a goddamned bubble of shit is their frequency in Super Bowl commercials. AI will go the way of NFTs and crypto.

"It's your farm now... for $300,000."

Me: "is that a tauntaun...?" IT IS FOUR.

Any product's commercial -- whether Super Bowl or not -- that discourages Gronkowski from speaking gets an automatic pass.

Wow, it feels great to see Green Day playing on this national stage. The vibe just flushed down the tubes when the NFL people walked onto the stage in their snazzy NFL varsity jackets. These are the guys who would have beaten up Green Day fans in high school!

OH MY GOD, I would risk a felony to get multiple stickers.

An student of mine in Milan shared this video of some *vibrant* Italian swearing, thanks to that country's very well-miked curling team. www.instagram.com/reel/DUVijMz...

A sign of Spring not often discussed: seeing your senator walk to their car wearing only a tshirt and shorts.

We love #dogs. We are also completely inept at playing pickleball. So we've combined these two facts into one event! James and I are raising money for the #Chicago Canine Rescue by competing in a pickleball tournament.

I fucking love the Episcopal Church: “Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall of the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James in New Haven. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Behold: absolute garbage human beings.

Of the 33 letters in the Ukrainian alphabet, these two ( П, Р ) are my favorite for how often they trigger a kernel panic in my brain.

Paint me like one of your French girls (what Queso is thinking maybe?) #dogs @dogsof.bsky.social

In church, we mention all of God's saints -- including those yet to come. They are here, now.

A cardinal waits in the neighbor's tree for me to put out its feed.

What are the odds that Bad Bunny takes Liam Conejo to the Super Bowl?
