Yeah, good call not to watch that Stranger Things finale during our NYE party with a crowd of mixed age kids - most of whom begged to watch it, but with a couple that were terrified of having it on and feeling left out if they didn’t watch. Fairly intense.

22 people (adults and kids) out of the house and everything cleaned up, trash and recycling taken out, and in bed before 1am? I’ll take it! Love hosting low-key college friend group NYE and that it’s mostly become the kid’s wild night these days. Good night all. Let’s be good to ourselves in 2026.

Who up tryna get Agenda 2021’ed?

Just sitting here thinking about Derek Turnbow’s family still drugged and tied up in a barn…

My son sent this to our family text group while we’re sitting in the Kroger parking lot: “This man has aura.”

I mean…

Frying eggs and blaring Soul Coughing in the kitchen while the kids roll their eyes and cringe.

Props to Josh Price of Louisville’s FirstBuild for making that Pop Tart trophy! (that actually works)

Are you not entertained?!?

Turrible clock management there.

2000 piece puzzles require some creative card table Tetris.

Took the kids ice skating at Paristown’s outdoor rink today on a 67 degree December day. We all struggled (we’re not experienced skaters) but had a great time entertaining my parents. Very wet rink made any slips rather moist. Finished the adventure with lunch and donuts at the food hall.

We should be able to use leftover FSA/HSA money to buy concert tickets. Cheaper than therapy.

Spending Boxing Day in the traditional manner… frantically working through issues with a botched deliverable a member of one of my teams passed on to a customer before leaving the company the week before Christmas.

I know you all are sportsballing. Respect. We’re two episodes into the Stranger Things batch drop. And the kids begged us for the third, but it’s bedtime.

I am, Owensboro Burger King… I am.

More like Manger Things, amirite?!

Merry Christmas to all my pocket friends. I hope yours is merry and bright, and you find a little hope in these anxious times.

These folks rule. Louisville peeps, show them some love, as you’re able.

Finished booking our lodging for Alaska. Hallelujah.

Ohhh. Oh. Daaannng.

Every win feels like a calamity.

This coaching staff has zero control over this team. Late hit or otherwise.

Hah! Oh Cards, thats so YOU.

We are living in a new age of American innovation. Gravy. Flights.

Yesterday, I was exposed to Alabama’s “Thistlehair The Christmas Bear” - and now I get to bless the timeline with it. youtu.be/5UdbyBA0ltE?...

Made it in and out of the Trader Joe’s parking lot to get a ham from the adjacent honey baked ham store in under a half an hour without cussing anybody out. Should probably buy a lottery ticket.

You will be visited by three spirits. The spirits…

Random thought/PSA: if there’s a little voice inside of your head that talks shit cynically about overly-earnest, uplifting music of your youth that you used to enjoy, but now feel tempted to write off… fuck that voice. Jimmy Eat World fuckin RIPS. The band you’re thinking of probably does, too.

Earlier this week, Senator Mike Lee introduced an amendment that would have removed protections against selling America’s national parks. Of course, you absolutely REFUSED. And it's working. 💪 (1/4)

Most years I make a post on the anniversary of my sister‘s death, 10 years yesterday. Thought I might have something more profound to say on the occasion, but the truth is it still hurts in some ways that like that first week, but in many other ways, I’m grateful for the healing of the year since.

Oh hey, it’s me on Twitter after 9pm from roughly Nov 2016 to Nov 2017.

bring back the lemonade and disconnect the robot that kills you

One of the side effects of having 2 non-instagram age kids for several years is that my algo has a healthy bent to funny animal videos - always a bit of joy at the bus stop. Now? It’s ALL slop. Instagram was already getting pretty bad, but I don’t think we’re prepared for the tsunami of slop.

As it turns out, proximity to infamy is no proxy for celebrity. x2

three wise men... don't see much of that nowadays

Bless the timeline.

Annual watching of A Curious George Christmas with the kids

'Let it Snow' with all the positive lines removed

Hey, there was a thread on here that did rounds a few days ago explaining why the false outrage over people demanding coffee shops won’t sell them “regular coffee” is a tell for people’s majority view becoming a minority and the fear that causes people. Is this ringing a bell and can anyone link?

Looks like I’m road tripping to Cincinnati in March.

The rest of us could only hope for second best skeet of the day, week, and perhaps even year.
