Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

2025 will be remembered for The Pitt and that's it. I can't wait for season 2; I just hope we're all still here.

Saw Michael Monroe in NYC last night! Tons of energy all throughout the show. Knees and back are paying for it today so much that I called off work. Absolutely would sacrifice my spine again to this legend!

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Watching the MST3K take on The Beatniks, and I'm hoping this turns into a monster movie where the monster kills everybody. Preferably two or three times for each gang member.

I miss Mickey Mouse and Disney World so much, I picked up a Knocked Loose album from the used bargain racks at Princeton Record Exchange today.

I really love this episode with a musician whose work I was unfamiliar with before. At one point he says he used to "drink like a heavy metal musician" and I had to get some bracing clarity on what that means.

Republicans in Congress: what is it that the Drump administration (or Russia) has on you? Go ahead, tell us. Some of us might be willing to look past insider trading, a sex scandal, maybe even a little murder! But grow a spine and actually vote to ensure our rights and well-being are locked in.

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

Listening to my old wrestling entrance song hits a lot better when I don't have to worry about what to do on stage, trying not to fall off the ramp, or how the crowd is reacting (tepid). The Wildhearts - Suckerpunch youtu.be/2f3WXbrtZ_0?...

My wife isn't familiar with Wallace and Gromit and punched out early after I put on Vengeance Most Fowl. She doesn't like how Wallace treats his dog like an afterthought. 🤦‍♂️

Had a Cybertruck behind me for most of my drive yesterday and I noticed the driver was wearing a face mask. I don't judge people who wear a mask in the car (because I'm not an asshole), but I'm surprised Elon didn't put tech in there to gas the driver if it senses a mask.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Nevermind David Lee Roth scat-talking his way through the hits, but Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini playing Ratt songs together at M3 is the bigger surprise. I thought Warren was done performing live. Ratt seems to be their own worst enemy but I'm curious to see if this leads to anything.

If Elon Musk is the gamer he says he is, he must have ten thousand different heroic victory poses in that hateful little brain of his to pull from. Why a Nazi salute? I guess his uniform was at the dry cleaners. No excusing racist behavior from a racist who happened to be in his own element.

Whether or not I'm at work tomorrow, I plan on keeping the MST3K Twitch channel on all day so I can occupy my mind on something fun rather than gestures wildly

I have a source in Washington who says anyone wanting to get inside the Capital One Arena for the event on Monday should be advised the building has terrific heat. The best. So you should dress light because no one wants you to pass out due to extreme heat or dehydration. Line-up starts at 2AM.

Today is (was) National Pastrami Day and I was too excited to take a photo of my lunch. So accept this other food item that I am also excited about, Reeses Red Velvet. No doubt this is even more artificially flavored than the regular Reeses, but I'm still excited to try it.

I've been a pro wrestling fan for almost 30 years, so it surprises me to still find new impossibly dumb takes beyond the typical AEW vs. WWE stuff.

Taking every fiber of my being to not jump on this pastrami promotion on Goldbelly & order from Langer's Deli in LA. Two pounds of meat, a rye loaf, and bottle of mustard, all for $150. And I'm the only one in the house who eats meat. 😔

I seem to have slept on the band Death. Death metal isn't one of my preferred genres but it's a fantastic way to power through the more defeating moments at work. And Death rules at that.
