Just pathetic spineless bootlicker www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Someone must have awoken from a coma, heard "Indiana national champions" and made a grievous error inviting their basketball team to a tournament of bluebloods

Summer is almost here, time for a classic theonion.com/pool-owner-h...

"[sound of river rock being run through a wood chipper]"

It is once again time for me to resent retail brands making Father's Day compete with graduation season in their advertising just because it rhymes.

I am top tier at multitasking while on an online meeting and still managing to smile or laugh at the right times in the conversation I'm not watching and only barely listening to

If this stands up in court I just don't know how you even have a country anymore

And now the college kid has moved back home for the summer and it's a full house again 🙃

What a time to be alive

why would i want to watch a podcast. podcasts are for when you are doing something else

This is why I identify with Gen X

Matt Campbell went from a job where a losing season meant one (1) difficult press conference to a job where a losing season means he'll be sleeping with the fishes

It's just such a bleak time to be a fan of college sports.

What could possibly go wrong www.kcci.com/article/iowa...

The younger kid was out of the house this weekend on a school trip so we had a taste of empty nester life, and folks...it was glorious

Yawn. Sure.

Clicked on a story about the new NBA anti tanking lottery rules

We just can't resist the urge to screw up something good, can we. Is this [gestures broadly at America] tweet or an NCAA tournament tweet. Why not both?

It's gonna happen, isn't it. This guy is going to be the sympathetic poster child for how dangerous the proliferation of frictionless gambling is, and he's going to play this fall

This is what's known in communications as "getting ahead of the story" Had they asked me, I would have advised they also avail themselves of the well-established practice of the "Friday news dump" or perhaps the rarer but wildly effective "presidential assassination attempt news dump"

I'd forgotten about this. Not sure I've ever seen anything more pathetic. It's right up there with my state senator who is childless but borrows babies for parades and photo shoots to make it look like he has kids.

Going to overserve ourselves and try to learn advanced Excel formulas, let's see how this goes

You think the discourse just can't get any dumber and yet every day it finds a way

Nothing finer

Is this a real tornado warning or a bullshit tornado warning?

If memory serves this was also "Fred Hoiberg looking sick as hell at the B1G tournament, only to *not* have Covid" night

So glorious to have warm weather back so we can open windows and be serenaded by the sounds of preteens riding their fake but yet somehow completely legal motorcycles up and down the street constantly

Missed my morning coffee by accident one day, decided maybe this would be a good time for a caffeine reset. It's been unpleasant.

The youths will never believe that Casey's was the first video store and takeout pizza joint almost everywhere

“I’ve been using ChatGPT to help with cooking for a while now, so I didn’t think too much of it when the ingredients list included a bottle filled with gasoline and a cloth wick,” said the alleged attacker

so many tabs

It is once again time to read a paragraph about all the new players joining my basketball team then shrug, forget what I just read, re-read the same paragraph in October when the season starts, and hope it all works out

Pope Leo going to do the impossible and drive me back to the Catholic Church

Need JD Vance to fly to Ames to tell us to our faces that we'll never win a national championship

First mow of the season might be on tap today. Always nice to get out and do some yardwork again but the novelty wears off after about twelve minutes.

I just spent 90 minutes trying to talk my mother-in-law through downloading a tax form on the internet. I have seen hell

🌮🌮🌮

I'm skeptical on this, but show me an AI tool to make our state legislature less useless and I'm all in

Really fuckin nailed it NYT, truly great work

Watching all this play out over the last 14 months and then pausing to remember that it's the *Democrats* who have a brand crisis

Boy, things have really taken a batshit turn the last couple of days, haven't they
