1. Responded to an email from a moron that thinks he's smart. 2. Cut & paste my job description into that response because the idiots that sent me a threatening email aren't smart enough to find job descriptions.

KC Airport playing an instrumental version of Steely Dan's 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' is a violation of the Geneva Conversations, right? Sounds like something Doc Severinsen arranged. IYKYK!

This hits hard.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

KJ Adams is flying over the rim like someone gave him a Redbull.

We've made our annual trek to Allen Fieldhouse. If the good Kansas team doesn't show up today, the negativity is gonna reach levels not seen since Roy Williams jilted Jayhawk kingdom.

"Someone with his business acumen..."? Apparently, he didn't know about the six bankruptcies or watch how Trump effed up COVID.

It's snowing here right now with heavy cloud cover & some fog but weather.com says it's partly cloudy. Am I supposed to believe weather.com or my lying eyes? Who has Mump (Trump/Musk) fired at the NWS that caused this?

Change my mind!

My KU alumnus wife & I watched the KU women beat UCF last night. The announcers for the women's game said the crowd there was small because of really nasty weather. I'm sure that's true but why do the BIG12 & KU keep scheduling the women's games in conflict with the men's games?

Oh FFS! Rogan's "smartest man alive" has forced the firing of nuclear weapons regulators & scientists trying to contain bird flu. Musk is the most dangerous idiot on earth, a rich man who thinks he's informed on every subject. finance.yahoo.com/news/f-ed-pi...

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

I've got a different finger help up right now!

Billionaire owners of huge corporations have convinced farmers that gov regulation is hurting the little guy. Meanwhile, ag companies consolidate nonstop while squeezing farmers & consumers ever tighter. The best reason to fear government is the influence of billionaires. Enforce antitrust laws.

The orange idiot hasn't thought through the actions that can be justified with his reasoning. Trump's words might have been uttered by John Wilkes Booth.

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case? If they kill me, justice will be swift.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

This is an undervalued aspect of Kirk's tenure at Iowa. People can have differing opinions, but, for me, turning out successful human beings is more important than wins & losses. www.si.com/college/iowa...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Stephen A Smith said something stupid? Quelle surprise!

I managed a sw development organization w/ teams in India, Europe, S America & 2 US cities. That's a lot of time zones & mtgs from home by all. I'm convinced that whether remote work is effective or not tells you as much about your mgmt team as any other factor. www.yahoo.com/news/bosses-...

2025 Kristi Noem looks like an android that ends up murdering everyone on the space station. I assume it starts with the dogs.

This is a great column. Why is Chicago being targeted for ICE raids and not Storm Lake, a city that's heavily dependent on undocumented labor for its meatpacking plant? The secret: Iowa Republicans can't afford raiding the packing plants.

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

I was born & raised in the same area code as Cooper DeJean & in my 64 years, I've never seen someone shout out "the 712." x.com/NFL/status/1...

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Federal judges can throw Musk's criminal ass in jail!

I feel like this great #SuperBowl photo (Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) is destined to be autographed and hung up on thousands of Iowa bedroom walls:

My sources tell me Drake is trying to book the halftime show at the Grey Cup.

Looks like this one might need an update … Iowa’s top Super Bowl performances: Which Hawkeye had the biggest big-game showing? www.nytimes.com/athletic/236...

I will forever refer to the Eagles win as the Cooper Bowl. apnews.com/article/supe...

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop!

Karma weighs in to state clearly that Cooper DeJean did not signal for a fair catch against Minnesota.
