Just learned about the Emu War of 1932. What a crazy story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

I’m officially designating my cats as part of the terrorist organization Meow-Qaeda. They hate our way of life—our freedom of sleep, our urine-free rugs, and our empty boxes. Effective immediately, I am authorizing an operation led by our top cat toys to exhaust the enemy and defend our freedoms.

Climbed a mountain this weekend

No need to be rich to enjoy luxury when hammocks and rocking chairs exist.

Da boys do Six Flags.

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.

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

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

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

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.

“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.

Had someone mistake me for a college student today and learned just how vein I really am.

How it feels to remix your own track

Today is my birthday! This past year was a good one in the life of Jack. I was able to spend lots of time with family and friends and gained a deeper appreciation for the fact that those relationships are what make life worth living. Celebrate with me by telling those you love that you love them.
