I updated my Bluesky handle. I'm now @mrwilson.lincolnite.com. I'm still @[email protected] on Mastodon.

For those of you fleeing this place, be sure to connect with me on Mastodon (@[email protected]) and/or Bluesky (@mrwilson.bsky.social).

Happy Presidents' Day. #LNK

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

@IMFletcher2 Thank you, sir!

I am happy over at Bluesky for now. The experience is significantly better. The Twitter I loved is long gone.

@BrettSBaker I've been hoping to avoid the DMV, but inside I knew I would wind up there. I was hopeful somebody knew of a downloadable magic form that I could use. Oh well. Thanks!

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

I have a car with a title exclusively in my late wife's name. Can I sell it directly (i.e. by attaching a copy of the death certificate to the bill of sale), or must I first go to the DMV to transfer the title to me? This is in #Nebraska.

It is with immense sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved State Referee Administrator, Jim McVay.

Jim McVay was my friend and colleague for over twenty years. He was a man of integrity and character, and he was a pain in the ass in just the right way. Jim and I comforted each other through family drama; he guided me through a slippery legal issue

@1011_News One of your employees is an asshole. I hope @Lincoln_Police finds (psst, it's just south of the Capitol), tickets, and tows the vehicle.

@lpsorg FYI. This photo was taken earlier today by somebody not on this platform. The bus was stopped under and struck by the arm. A pickup behind the bus got out of the way so that the bus driver could back up to get off the tracks.

When it comes to snow removal, do you:

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

Cameron @NECapitolCat decided to go inside the Capitol to warm his butt today. And who can blame him?

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

@DuncanAviation Looks like I can't DM because we don't follow each other. Do you want to drop me a note at brent / lincolnite / com (replacing the slashes) or share a contact email address here that I can contact? Otherwise we can do the follow thing if you prefer to DM.

Do I know any folks in the aircraft maintenance field who would be interested in talking to a 17-year-old who is thinking about entering the field? Even better if you're in #LNK and can show him around help him make connections.

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

@tasteoflincoln That would be wonderful! He's talented with vehicles, and for various reasons he's thinking about making aircraft (rather than cars) his career. He's 17 (18 in April), graduated, and eager to get started.

The Libengoods are demonstrating astonishing chutzpah. They purchased their property, on an arterial street adjacent to a brand new high school in an area of town specifically targeted for growth by City of #LNK, in December 2021. #dreamForMeNotForThee https://t.co/oLXJVSQg7U

So they can see what referees see?

@IMFletcher2 @JournalStarNews I *hate* that I'm canceling. I appreciate the local folks. They do great work! But Lee has trashed the joint. And a 66% increase? WTH?! They've got to give me _something_ to justify that. It's not like the cost of pixels exceeded the rate of inflation.

[Brent C. Wilson @MrWilson]

They've done it. @JournalStarNews broke me. I support local journalism. I have subscribed since I moved out of my parents' house. Today they sent this weird, soulless email. They want to jack up my rates by $10 (66%!). NOTHING they've done lately justifies the increase. I'm out.

[Mr. Wilson, Referee Coach @MrWRefCoach]

Not bad for a guy who never played the game.

[Mr. Wilson, Referee Coach @MrWRefCoach]

Wayne contributed to Nebraska soccer as a referee, instructor, assessor, assignor, State Referee Administrator, coach, and fan. He participated in thousands of matches and directly impacted tens of thousands of referees, players, and coaches.
