I write a lot. I run a lot. I dad a lot. Hopefully getting a little better at each every day.

Wildly imperfect President but we'll be missing his basic decency soon enough

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

My final Hanukkah message to you as your president is this:

Hold on to hope. Shine your light of optimism. And above all, keep the faith.

On the off chance there's any non-bots following at this point, I highly recommend setting up an account on Bluesky. It's old twitter (albeit a little overwhelmingly left). There's actual engagement, about 5% as many bots and genuine interaction. Haven't missed Twitter at all

lol, ok Matt Gaetz, let's see what kinda dude you are...

@BarstoolPhilly The wonderfully casual nature of his arm flaps kills me

[Jay Slater @Middle_rAged_J]

#Daboll didn't draft nor did he sign the check for Jone's ext. If you just want to flush the whole thing and start over, fine. But dumping a perfectly adequate coach AND leaving the front office as is would be lunacy

@BleacherReport @NBAonTNT Anything is worth a shot if they think it might make it watchable.

[Jay Slater @Middle_rAged_J]

I appreciate the #warriors trying to keep the future intact but if you legit think Curry has another title run in him, you gotta package some of these good young guys with picks and make a run at a big name. Either way, I do really like picking up Dennis

@SheaSerrano That thing full on looks like its smiling at you - it may have more in store than you think

This Direct File taxes thing should infuriate everyone

@themouthmatusow Did they use to give bracelets for the old school Tournament of Champions? Honestly can't remember but feels like the same argument

[Jay Slater @Middle_rAged_J]

@TheDunkCentral @WindhorstESPN @GetUpESPN I mean LeBron probably has enough in the tank to make a difference on a title run but whatever they'd have to give up for Butler is going to be too big a cost to their future for the minimal improvement of their championship chances

Damn - it's rare that you see a trailer this compelling that gives away basically nothing about the movie.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The first trailer for ‘28 YEARS LATER’ has been released.

In theaters on June 20, 2025.

It's nice to see that my fellow libs are jumping at the chance to turn on Bernie Sanders because he's MIGHT be making a couple questionable votes in lose-lose confirmations coming up. Nobody eats their own like we do. WE STILL GOT IT!

Yankee's fan perspective:

Soto isn't resigning with NYY: 'Damn it!'

But he's not signing with Boston: 'Thank god'

And he's not signing with LA: 'Really? But then...'

He's signing with the Mets: 'Lol what? But why? Wait seriously?'
