- "Ouch My Balls" TV from Idiocracy (2001) is now ChiveTV in gyms. Social media has gone from people you know in real to being mostly news posts or people whose job is to post very interesting things. What could have connected us...isn't. I like the BeReal model of must post to see.

- I really appreciate @propublica.org Many of their writings these days seem to be documenting how valuable aspects of government are...as they are being killed off.
- NSF funded an engineering summer camp at the University of Alabama at Huntsville that I attended after my Sophomore year of high school that got me interested in a lifetime of problem solving and collaborative teamwork. #withoutnsf
- Really happy to be at the SMU Track and Field invitational. First home meet in 27 years! Hopefully a step toward bringing back men's track too.
- Wish I could block all comments (on all platforms) from people with less than 50 posts, or 20 followers.
- NEW: Legal group founded by Trump aide Stephen Miller sues Chief Justice John Roberts to give the executive branch control over two federal judicial offices. The lawsuit claims the move “preserves separation of powers but also keeps the courts out of politics.” From: @jaknutson.bsky.social
- Is it a coup yet?
- This is a gut punch. One of the very best of humanity and a person who was so important to me and so many others. variety.com/2025/music/n...
- She was a gem
- But for 100 years, humans could be in climate controlled environments, and also go really fast.
- Gardening is way more fun than I thought it would be.
- Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

View full threadAnyway, expect The Onion to do big, dumb, unexpected things in the next year. We'll use our singular place in the world to give good people the words and guts to get through a truly fucking stupid time. If you want to help us, then get a paper in the mail. You will love it. membership.theonion.com

- Today I learned that my wife had her 23rd birthday with a Blazing Saddles themed birthday party. In 2006. Following Hawaii themed birthday parties when she was 4 & 5. Amazing trivia coming out of trivia day. @geekswhodrink.bsky.social
- #theresidence on Netflix was a fun romp.
- Doug with @geekswhodrink.bsky.social in Dallas is a great quizmaster. I'm proud of our doesn't know SZA from Arianna Grande from other bands I can't remember pair and how we did tonight.
- We might have been fifth, but we got 69!
- Finished watching / binging #madamsecretary after a 2+ month binge (122 episodes) and really liked it. Highly recommend. Lots of solid policy examinations., well written and produced, and lovingly acted.

- Madame Secretary (Netflix, 6 seasons / 120 episodes), is a wonderful love letter to the peak of American Power, especially how the state department was wielded in healthy administrations.

- Based on what?
- I'm very excited to watch Track this weekend with @grandslamtrack.bsky.social on @peacocktv. Thanks to @citiusmag.com for the preview podcast! I think it would be fun for the runners to get side quests of field events for bonus points. The race loser picks the redemption event? 5k + Jav = gold
- I think that it's interesting how commerce interactions masquerading as if they're natural / normal are wearing on me. The At&t sales inside Costco. Leaf Guard door to door sales reps. I've decided to bluntly reject these farcical interactions. Friendly and optional transaction is ok though.

- Ogg! Jack Moffitt helped make that!
- I just volunteered for #destinationimagination Texas State finals today, and it's one of my favorite things. Improv teaches so much collaboration and acceptance. I think it's such a healthy activity for kids, or anyone's growth to do things like that.
- This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.
- I'm really glad to only see glimpses of this kind of childish and terrible "leadership"

- This is gonna be epic. It's amazing what 5mph does to range, FYI.
- I'm watching Madame Secretary from 2014-2019, and it's like the current US regime (2025) really wants to make life impossible for the State Department. I get why Rubio wants to shrink into a couch.
