I was playing really well and the last time I kept score here was a long time ago. But my previous on was +10. 😱

I thought about visiting the Preserve again today, but there’s a high of 95 and T-storm chances. So we’re at Larson Park in Brooking SD.

Not sure if @randisc.com sent me a pink neutral mid as my mystery disc by chance or because he knows me that well, but he's the best store owner in #DiscGolf either way.

I'm not really worried that the backlash to Platner is going to endanger our ability to give folks second chances, because at no point did that man seem like he earnestly felt he was on his second chance. He made it pretty clear at every turn he thought he was still living large on his first one.

Everyone should have a physical hobby. Go in the woods, play a sport, paint a miniature, just do something that involves physical action. one of my favorite quotes from Joan Jett (In the "Joy of the Guitar Riff" documentary from the BBC) (1/2)

For the first time at my house, my power went out last night. I woke up and noticed the fan wasn’t running. Checked the breaker, saw the meter outside and streetlight weren’t on, and called the utility. Not sure if I’ll get back to sleep, but I’ve got my little jackery to power a few things.

You Are So Beautiful (cat and janky phone vid edition).

July lawn mowing is the worst. Extra hot and I only need to mow because some patches are tall. The front yard looks like it didn't grow at all (I don't water my lawn and rarely remember to weed and feed).

Good on Rick for the FPO and Eveliina shoutout.

You can’t blame the prodigy basket for air balls. That was painful to watch from Isaac.

Isaac’s at it again. Just missed a short one on 10. Now it’s really in his head. @mpbx3003.bsky.social

I’ve had one person use the USA250 Promo code for 20% off your order. It ends tonight at midnight EST I wanna take a truckload of orders to the post office in the morning. Randisc.com

Even if you don't really need anything, let Randi find you something from a company you don't know yet. You can even choose what type of disc you want! For $12 with the code! Get a little beginner or trunk bag with a putter, mid, and fairway for $36! #DiscGolf

We’ll, it looks Ike’s like we were gonna stay dry, but the city band got absolutely drenched. Never had an experience like that before. People worked quick so I don’t think anything got damaged.

Happy birthday USA for the weekend! USA250 for 20% off your order this weekend only! I NEVER run discounts like this. So use it wisely! Share to let the WORLD KNOW!!! Thanks! Randisc.com

Nothing says "Merica" like an inbox full of emails from every company I've ever bought anything from trying to sell me more stuff. True patriot shit.

I don’t love the Foundation Guys and I end up yelling at them (weird bc they can’t hear me), but Hunter said “for all intents and purposes” correctly so who say say what’s bad or good.

Any of my Mutuals listen to “Heed the Call”? I’ve been listening to Dan and Mark ever since they started back at the Around the NFL podcast with Chris Wesseling and Greg Rosenthal. They have a lot of inside jokes at this point, but it’s a good podcast. One that I’d totally go to a live taping for.

Played a round with one of the guys who I suspected was a MAGA guy (his mom who works at Kwik Trip told me his political opinions were an issue in an unprompted conversation). Turns out his dad is hyper MAGA and the issue was him being more of a libertarian. Not great, but better than MAGA.

you're the director of the office of management and budget, *knowing* the answer to this — not what you "heard", not what you guess, actually knowing it — is very literally your job

Minnesota's had inclusive policies for trans kids for almost 15 years. Today's SCOTUS ruling changes nothing. Playing sports is a foundational part of an American childhood and Minnesota remains a state where ALL kids can play with their friends, learn teamwork, and get exercise.

Beating the heat by having a lazy day inside (for Pixel it’s always a lazy day inside.)

About to watch Supergirl at 1:00 on a Monday. Looks like I’m the only one too.

Went to the course with some of the guys and fished discs out of the pond. 48 discs in all with only a handful with readable numbers. I'm a good kind of exhausted and the shower afterwards was fantastic. So many 12+ speeds in the center of the pond (250 ft downhill).

Watching Eagle putt on 12 at the Swedish open. Why is it so beautiful to just put a basket on top of a tree stump? A tiny thing to do and I just love it.

I'm glad for these weather delays yesterday and today. I'm actually able to watch most of the MPO action at the Swedish Open. It's shaping up to be a good finish.

Grandmother Classifies 79% Of Everything A Shame https://theonion.com/grandmother-classifies-79-of-everything-a-shame-1819570875/

Meeting my friend and his wife today for disc golf at the Preserve. He’s getting carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow so it’s his last hurrah for a while. And it’s looking like an absolutely gorgeous day.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

When a Baroque altarpiece is tacked onto a Gothic church anywhere in the former Spanish Empire I like to picture someone in black velvet with a large neck ruffle spay painting “Spain Wuz Here”

Went hiking in Camden State Park again this afternoon. Found a new trail spur that goes to an old WPA group camp. Beautiful hike all around.

You want to talk about mediocrity and cowardice? It's a bunch of centrist Democrats representing deep-blue districts filled with voters who are demanding they fight, but they just sit on their hands and expect to be re-elected.

Incumbent Democrats haven't done much to stop Republicans from destroying this country, etc., and so the Democratic voters in their districts chose candidates who promised that they would, in fact, stop Republicans. That's precisely why there were primary challenges. This isn't complicated.

Those candidates are to my left on a number of issues. But if you conflate victories by a few lefty candidates with an entire party being taken over by people with open contempt for multiracial democracy and the rule of law, then you have entirely missed the boat.

Replace slit with drive, and the topic with disc golf and this becomes a very relatable statement.

The state has been working on redoing a busy intersection. Sewer lines and everything. The city’s project to redo a major street in town just caught that intersection. The Kwik trip, dollar general, and a few offices are about to be inaccessible. Surely that can’t be allowed?

Guys, in case you didn’t hear it from someone else: Disclosure Day is REALLY good. If you’re a frequent and mentioned it, thanks for the recommendation.

As always, I forgot to take pictures during my Vegas trip. But I did take a picture of my food at Jean Georges Steakhouse. This Chilean Sea Bass was divine.

We used to just call them LAN Parties.

It’s fun being in Vegas and hearing the sports bars and betting areas erupt after every goal.

@randisc.com is an absolute ANIMAL!! Go get some frisbees from this dude! Shipping plastic faster than damn near anybody is shipping anything! Thank u again my friend! 💪🙌🙏

who would make a fortune

Another fast shipment from @randisc.com! Death feels really good in hand and is super grippy. The Flying Fish reminds me so much of Leo3 in like a grippy star almost Kasta K1 soft plastic, and the Nerf discs feel a bit slick and very floppy soft. Very light too. Can't wait to see how they fly!

Ok the thing is this happens specifically with transphobia so often I feel it needs a syndrome description. People literally throwing their careers and lives away for transphobia. I say we call in Linehan Syndrome

Smoking (even just occasional) weed has screwed my cigar smoking (and VERY occasional). Too many full lung pulls on a small cigar that last few nice evenings has made that plain.

Recall that “you’re not allowed” doesn’t mean you will be jailed or sued or prohibited; it means that other people will exercise their First Amendment rights in response to yours, to express their views and defend their neighbors. But that violates Free Speech Culture.

This is admittedly a very slight improvement over my results with the same test 2 years ago, and all it took was several quintillion dollars and 10,000 data centres. AGI is here. Soon it may surpass a website from 2003 called "music4preschool . com / pdfs"

Tested out the new Claude, most impressive model yet that is going to relegate us all to a permanent underclass. I asked it to give me the notes to "Old MacDonald" which can be located with a 0.1 second web search, and I'm quite impressed to see it got the first 3 notes correct
