Going to speak with some college students about the importance of voting tonight. You know how San Franciscans got a cop the right to walk his beat while using a ventriloquist dummy? By voting. I rest my case. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Gea...

Uh oh… I’ve been struck with a severe cheeseburger craving.

You want my vote in the midterms? New labor protections for nap time.

I am not caught in a digital echo chamber. It’s a tape delay. Huge difference.

I’m guessing this is already well known, but last night I put ground up pecans in a pot of black beans I was cooking and I encourage everyone to try it. So tasty! If this is well trod territory, just let me believe I discovered something.

When people say, “he’s got his fingers in a lot of pies,” are the pies already cooked and he’s sticking his fingers in them or is he helping make the pies and that’s why his fingers are in there?

Alex Honnold stressing me out right now.

Aside from buying a Miata, what might a middle aged man do that screams midlife crisis?

You know, people look at you differently if you go out in house slippers as an adult man.

Resolve an argument. What color is this?

Happy new year! Celebrated with an epic sushi meal at Rosella KPT.

Kitty in repose

My hotel bathroom in Boston had a phone next to the toilet, or as I call it: the power move special.

Saw Paul Revere’s grave and the site of the Boston Massacre today. Not photographed, but also seen, the site of the Boston Tea Party and the graves of John Hancock and Sam Adams. Also had a beer at the longest consistently running pub in America. Boston is cool.

Obligatory cat content from the Thanksgiving holiday

I just learned that the term “smooth operator” came from people who could tap out morse code really well in the telegram days.

Watching elections in other states from Texas

Well I slept straight through Halloween on accident. Decidedly not how one enjoys the holiday.

Mark my words, this stock market will never crash. *This statement should not be construed as investment advice and should not be attributed to me in the event of a market crash.

One sentence into A Tale of Two Cities, “Whoa, pick a lane buddy.”

I can do all things through coffee. Amen.

Polo & Pan

Day 3 of ACL starting late. First, Polo & Pan! ✨🪩✨

Thank you for coming in today. We’d like to go over the results of your party banter audit. First of all, we’re going to issue a citation for doing accents. Second, you mentioned your cat without showing photos. We’re not going to issue a citation, but consider this a warning.

Had my first ride in a self driving car. Straight up black magic y’all.

Doechii 🔥

Modest Mouse

Day 2 selfie

Posted up for Modest Mouse and these kids are putting on a show

Ocean Alley and more shade

Found a spot in the shade for Spacey Jane

Day two! So far, I’m thinking Ocean Alley, Modest Mouse, Doechii, DJO, Sabrina Carpenter. Any 12 to 3 p.m. acts y’all recommend?

And we’re off!

ACL weekend - photo/video dump to commence this afternoon

Never moving again. I hurt in places I didn’t know I had.

Aioli has a country club membership Mayo fishes at the local pond

The live show was also a blast

www.stat.cmu.edu/~brian/walla... Written in 1944 by then Vice President Henry A. Wallace, this essay is one I’ve reread a handful of times in the past decade.

My favorite thing about the PBS News Hour is their measured intro no matter how insane the news they’re covering.

It’s weird how the British developed English but they pronounce it all wrong.

“I always thought about his hat, but I never thought about his sideburns.” @shannon.bsky.social looking at a photo of Davy Crockett

Time to show this cold brew concentrate who is boss.
