Dad of 3. 🚲 Cargo Biker. 💻 Tech/Data nerd. ⚾️ #Mets fan. Appreciate craft beer, whiskey, fire pits, and good books. I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.

You know what wins real wars against peer opponents? Warehouses full of bombs and bullets and tourniquets, maintenance crew to service the vehicles that move them and "warriors" to where they need to go, and boring spreadsheets to tell you how much of everything you have. Logistics! Logistics!

Aristocracy as an institution becomes simultaneously more and less legible when you understand that it’s literally just “I deserve deference and status because my great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was the guy who took plunder and split skulls.”
That fucking guy put his name on the new Acela trains. Not even Amtrak Joe had the gall to do that.

Any serious post-Trump de-corruption reform platform has to include banning online gambling starting with “prediction markets”
People are making wildfire bets on prediction markets. Experts say it could lead to disaster | CNN

A real picture of the top 2 players in the 2026 World Cup final, taken in 2007.
England’s strategy of “don’t take shots on goal” proving to be a questionable one
Rooting against England in the World Cup gives me a taste of what it feels like to root against the US in every other sport.
My 4-year-old son apparently believes Siri can generate songs by sheer force of will and is trying to talk her into playing “Whenever Wherever We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” by Shakira & Taylor Swift.
We need a Manhattan Project for advertising people so that even the dumbest Americans understand that the Republican Party did all of this.
“Just before the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, there were more than 100,000 monthly questions asked on [Stack Overflow]; last month, there were fewer than 1,500. And the response rate, once around 80 per cent, has been cut in half.” Genuinely shocking. This is what LLMs were trained on, now it’s dead.
I’m not looking forward to the debate over the Braddock Road Canals

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.
The World Cup introduced my son to Shakira and “This Time for Africa”, her anthem from the 2010 cup. Every morning he insists on “listening but to the VIDEO”. 🤔
6 European teams in the final 8 after this beautiful upset-filled World Cup is a disappointing.
This game has the feel of a Sweet Sixteen game between a high-major school and some Cinderella from the Patriot League.
Just got home after a week away and I only have 2 beers in the fridge to choose from for tonight’s game. Hmm. 🇺🇸 🇧🇪
Trump exempts the Belgian diamond importing industry from tariffs, is given gaudy diamond ring with his name on it. Any 2026 candidate who can’t make this into a corruption scandal isn’t fit for office.
