Gas prices are up. Grocery prices are up. My 401K and IRA accounts are down. This guy was supposed to make the economy better? He's actively making the economy worse. What's happened since Trump's second term started is nothing less than a fiscal crime against society.

I'm all for a play-in tournament, but I think if you're not over .500 you should be automatically eliminated. I'm talking about you, Clippers/Blazers/Warriors.

I'm all for empathymaxing.

My nose has been ABSOLUTELY wrecked this year from a series of colds or illnesses similar to colds, sinus issues, etc. Thanks in part to travels. Thanks heavily to my kiddos being in daycare and kindergarten. The thought that littles are petri dishes is very true.

LOL GTFO

The war in Iran was started by Israel and the US. Iran has lashed out and attacked a number of its neighbors as a result. Iran is potentially being supported by Russia and China. Russia is still at war with Ukraine after they invaded them years ago.

Found this article from 5 years ago about Alexa preferring strong male voices and I can tell you anecdotally that it still holds true. medium.com/fearless-she...

The DoD maneuver last week to hinder Anthropic while boosting the likes of OpenAI have opened the doors for consumer interaction with Claude instead of ChatGPT.

Last night, we had some sales guy come by and ring our doorbell. It was dinner time. We chose to ignore it. The guy came back a little while later. It was bedtime for the kids. We were busy again.

My brain is broken. Every time I see an F45 gym I wanna go "hell yeah, F47, too, amirite?!"

The President of Peace, ladies and gentlemen. The things Trump says he wants, isn't that the JCPOA that Obama put in place and he withdrew from in his first term? Also, weren't their capabilities "completely dismantled" or whatever last year after previous strikes? So dumb. This is so so dumb.

Target, trying to recover their image, running an ad that prominently features the Davis protein bar, is a WILD choice. (Former board member Peter Attia stepped down after being outed in the Epstein files) #TargetBoycott

This makes ZERO sense. I'm the president of our HOA and I'll be honest: it'd be great to get rid of it, except we really can't. We're responsible for landscaping, irrigation, lighting, fencing, canal maintenance, among other things. #Boise #idleg boisedev.com/news/2026/02...

I was wondering if Canada hockey was sandbagging in their earlier matchup with the United States. Watching the gold medal game and it sure feels like that was the case. #WomensHockey #Olympics

An interesting development today in Boise. Someone stole an ambulance, drove it into the lobby of a building that ICE has an office in, poured a bunch of gasoline, but apparently fled before igniting a fire. Okay, that's a lot. www.reddit.com/r/Boise/comm... www.facebook.com/groups/13298...

South Korea showing us all how it's done. Accounability!

MS NOW seemed like a questionable rebranding at the time, but I have to say they've fully committed to an updated approach. Their presence on podcasts and upgraded social media presence speaks volumes.

Last week, I threw out our 6-year-old Roomba. It served us well, but it had degraded over the years (battery, sucking power, navigation capabilities), and it finally kept giving me an unreconcilable error.

Made shakshuka for the first time tonight. Dude. It's phenomenal. Will be adding this to our regular dinner rotation. Here's a gift link: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7653...

I soured on State Farm because the local agent I worked with was more interested in upselling me than providing good coverage when I had a claim. With that said, I just spoke with a total rockstar of a claims agent from State Farm.

Just realized the 2026 #NYCMarathon is on November 1. Effectively, that eliminates parents of small children. We're not going to deprive our kiddos of Halloween. We're not going to miss doing things with our kids on Halloween. Oh well. We'll enter the lottery again next year.

"I need the kind of generals that Hitler had" - Donald Trump Remember this? That's what ICE is. They would do anything he asks without question. He realized he couldn't instantly take unfettered control over the military (though he's trying), so he made his own army to use on the American people.

Last night, I put a movie on Amazon Prime and had to sit through a 15-second ad for #Melania before the movie would start. I want those 15 seconds of my life back.

Remote work complaint of the day: if you message me on Teams/Slack, don't just say hi or hello. What do you want or need from me? Just say it. Happy to work with you and get stuff done. But I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a "hello" then I respond to it and then... *crickets*

Random observation as a parent of small children: it's cute that they have such a limited worldview. But man, when you notice adults out there with a similarly limited worldview, it's problematic AF.

This isn't getting enough mainstream media attention, but the Secretary of Education is involved in a sexual abuse lawsuit.

These things are important: January 6, 2021, was a violent invasion of the US Capitol where citizens attempting to stop validation of the 2020 election. Police officers were attacked and some died as a result

If (or when, God willing) we have Democrats in the Presidency and in charge of Congress, we need that President to step up, relinquish executive powers Trump has abused, and demand Congress to codify separation of powers that has otherwise just been a set of norms.

Anyway, lest we forget, release the Epstein files. All of them. Unredacted. As the law requires.

ICE does not protect and serve. ICE disrupts and instigates. They cause hostility and violence. They kidnap. They murder. #FuckICE

Finally finished #WelcomeToDerry. 10/10 no notes.

We've been here for upwards of six years and never made it into North End Pizza. Gotta say, it was a delightful experience. Good beers on tap, kinda perfect house salad, and creative pizzas executed decently. We'll be back. And we'll know to get a 50/50 pizza next time! #boise

Beats the heck out of DOGE.

Went to the ice skating ribbon at Indian Creek Plaza for the first time. Pretty stoked to bring the kids back once they're older and more capable of skating on their own.

Bear Down belongs to Arizona, not Chicago.

Tonight I am especially thankful for Arizona Wildcats basketball. Fuck the Bears.

As someone outside of the party who looks on wanting them to do better, this is a BAD look and gives me no confidence in the plan for midterm elections or 2028. Are we cooked as a country? Maybe not. But this doesn't help.

Donald Trump. Bill Clinton. Bill Gates. Steve Bannon. Woody Allen. Drag. Them. All... We need to know who did what and those guilty should be held liable. This isn't about politics. It's about what's right. #EpsteinFiles

Caught up on Yellowjackets last night and that show is perilously close to losing me. I hate when shows push the protagonist(s) so far that they become irredeemable. Like, why would I be invested anymore? #yellowjackets

The AI generated Coke commercial can die in a fire.

Not that I'm in the market, but @linkedin.com Jobs has become insane with its notifications. They keep pushing co-founder/former co-founder/CEO/CTO/founder/etc. type positions on me.
