File every trip to Costco under: “Calamitous ORTBO”.

My 14 year old: “Dad, what is this song called?” Me: “Maniac” My 14 year old: “What is it about?” Me: “A maniac who is dancing like she’s never danced before… on the floor”.

A lot of tough questions have to be asked today amongst the Michigan Arab community and broader pro-Palestinian movement after all their work against Kamala in the election. I firmly believe Israel will be a long-term loser by aligning with the morally bankrupt Trump administration.

It is the year of our Lord 2025. If I did not give you my telephone number, please don’t reach out to me with a text message offering your services, a job opportunity, or especially an anonymous greeting. I actually would prefer to disable all inbound/outbound texts and use Signal or something.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Wanna share that Cecile Richards, former leader of Planned Parenthood, passed away on Inauguration Day. Even when they bury us, they are only planting the seeds of their own undoing. Don’t mourn, organize. Fight like hell for the future.

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court rules against TikTok’s challenge to a law that would force a sale or ban the app in the United States

Double gut punch to lose Bob Uecker and David Lynch on the same day.

Last October, I helped my mom by writing her annual charitable checks and mailing them out. This has led to a deluge of fundraising appeals being mailed to my address. Today, I received this letter…

Power service suspended until further notice. 😭

Ange Postecoglou’s lone crusade to save sanctity of English football

So many others deserve to see their legacies and reputations crumble before their own eyes. I shed no tears at this pitiful creature’s suffering.

During my recent, wonderful London holiday trip I was struck by the total absence of paper towels in bathrooms. That whole city is air dryers only. 🤷‍♂️

Are you even a parent if your kid hasn't had a catastrophic episode spilling Aaron's Thinking Putty?

"Across 25.3 million miles, Waymo was involved in nine property damage claims and two bodily injury claims. The average human driving a similar distance would be expected to have 78 property damage and 26 bodily injury claims, the company says." www.theverge.com/2024/12/19/2...

Can confirm. Microwave with a little peanut butter. Add maple syrup.

Emi Martinez just made one of the greatest keeper saves I have ever seen. He’s a putz, but no denying he is a great talent.

My band #GrandEphemeris has a new video out today for our European smash hit single "Mare Imbrium": youtu.be/4mAfnAQYW9w?...

After a grueling session of squats, I laid down in a puddle of my sweat on the physical therapist’s table and pretended I was deceased. The PT asked if I wanted a towel and I cracked open one eye and said “whatever normally goes in a coffin”. 🤣

Whenever some expert is introduced having forgotten more about a subject than I’ll ever know, I get concerned about how forgetful this person sounds. Should they be forgetting so much about their area of expertise?!?

The latest brainrot trend to permeate my household is the derisive use of “yap” and “yapping” by my teen and tween. It’s giving … grandpa. 😆

gonna have an entire chorus for a new version of "we didn't start the fire" by the end of this month

Trump’s defenders who have to run for re-election?!? Nothing that happens in January 2025 is going to remotely affect anyone’s reelection chances in November 2026. Periodt. Presupposing that there will be fair elections at that point.

My Biden take: anyone arguing that this pardon has set a bad precedent don’t realize that we have already unleashed the Kraken. Trump is going to do whatever he wants regardless. How quaint of you to bring up the concept of precedents. This is a whole new game being played. Try to keep up.

Eric Slick put out a fantastic record earlier this year called New Age Rage. Gonna be on heavy rotation. I discovered him through his standout contribution on Cardinals at the Window.

Hard same.

This morning’s cooking adventure: scratch made adobo sauce for birria.

Can you order if you are over 17 years old?
