My old band played Checkpoint Charlie a few times back in the oughts. At one show, there was a girl in the back of the room who would shout, "Adequate! Slightly Above Average!" at us in between songs. It will be missed.

I have a 27 year old Indian guy on my team who has never heard of ... The Beatles. Introducing a grown man to The Beatles is going to be a blast.

I’m up to 30 lbs on my daily dog ruck! It’s only been two weeks, but the results are noticeable.

New proposal (with thanks to @eastprospekt on X)

What have we become?

“This may be the worst planned war in history.”

They switched my polling place on me with zero explanations, so I guess check your info.

So the president wants us to believe that Iran somehow acquired a Tomahawk, an advanced, nuclear-capable missile, either from the US or one of our 3 closest allies, and then used it to blow up one of their own schools. His stupidity is the only thing that keeps his evil from overwhelming everything.

My wife and I are really enjoying rucking together. I bought a new patch for my ruck.

I've started carrying a 20 lb ruck when I walk the dog, and boy oh boy is that a workout.

Shout out to Malek at A1 tire on Franklin. He was able to hook my stepkid and me with a spare tire after we found out the one in the kid's trunk was ruined.

The City Park sculpture garden is such an underrated gem.

Bill Cassidy can still secure Trump's endorsement by awarding him the Louisiana Peace Prize.

This is what it feels like to be an American right now. youtu.be/U5X4N2exOsU?...

I love this for Bill Cassidy.

This is from a dog training video I'm watching. Who the hell is giving their dog coffee and booze?

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

I got half drunk with Steve Zahn at a party. We talked about machine guns, John Fogerty, and LSD. You'll never meet a nicer guy than Steve.

My wife took this picture of our extremely photogenic dog.

How I'm walking out of 2025.

Oldest stepkid just told me that my cheeseburgers are one of his favorite things to eat, and I'm just going to roll around in that for a while. 🥰
