My eldest just finished a 3 show run as Pulitzer in Newsies Jr. Watching a bunch of middle schoolers singing about workers rights and the power of unions gave me all the feels. Come kids, gather round while your Uncle Cliff tells you about...punk rock.
I find it rude that my degree is old enough to vote. We got married the following week so I guess that's also kind of amazing. Summer of 2008 was a hell of a drug.
My son is away at camp and I could not be more proud that he spells lightning correctly.

Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing.bsky.social · 2w agoStill very confused why Jack Johnson played the halftime show. And when did he get a neck tattoo?
I just saw a commercial for the USA Olympic team soundtracked to Mumford and Sons. Because nothing matters anymore.
This is Looney tunes to me. Do people not read the Illiad and the Odyssey in school? I won't even ask about the Aeneid... My son read the Odyssey, in Spanish! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...

Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic poem has monster battles, a sorceress and dozens of thirsty suitors. Here’s a primer.

So here's the thing. If you are a coach of youth athletics, don't email the parents telling them that you run the players until someone pukes. It makes me question your judgement and qualifications. It also forces me to explain to my son why he can't play football this year. Nobody wins.
Oral exams? This essay has some interesting strategies. It's all hands on deck, kitchen sink time in order to slow the invasion of AI. The kids are worth fighting for. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

I also charge my Buzz in Savannah, in my garage! I've been puzzled as to who uses the in-town chargers. After 800 miles, up and back to Down East NC, I can say that chargers abound on the 95 corridor. I love the opportunity to get out and stretch my legs. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/b...

If you come to #Savannah (or live here), I can't speak highly enough about the Tybee Oyster Company and their signature 'Salt Bombs'. We had a couple dozen on the 4th and they were money. www.southernliving.com/georgia-oyst...

No, I do not require assistance reading messages sent to me. I do need assistance turning off the assistant.

Not the hottest takes... It's hard to tell what's supposed to be a foul with all the flopping, whining and acting. The homer American commentators are nauseating. I much prefer the Telemundo broadcast. Reminds me of '94. Pulisic has the charisma of fern.
Thanks @geotraces.bsky.social for the invitation. I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss atmospheric deposition as part their seminar series. I provided a 'brief' overview and then Dr P Panda followed with his work in the Southern Ocean. 🌊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGVb... @universityofga.bsky.social

I filled the Buzz's battery from 18% to 80% for $1.36. (53.4 kwh) EV life is the only life for me!
I can't be with these two goons today but they are so fantastic that most days feel like Father's Day...but definitely not every day.
I know nothing about soccer, but I do know something about chasing 20 athletes around a field. One official seems like not enough.
