Great time cheering on the Mizzou MBB team to a barn-burning victory as the Tigers quelled the Tide of 4th-ranked Bama, 110–98, their third win over a top-5 opponent this season. #MIZ #hightide

Here’s a poignant illustration of why applying to senior-level jobs without inside connections is often fruitless.

Looking forward to being among the sold-out crowd at Mizzou arena cheering the 15th-ranked Tigers on to (hopeful) victory over the 4th-ranked Tide. #MIZKC

Let’s make this simple: My #safestreets vision will be fulfilled when every 8-year-old child can ride his/her bike or scooter safely down his/her neighborhood streets, to friends’ homes, to nearby parks, & to school without threats from motor vehicles. #visionzero #completestreets

Y’all, don’t sleep on these two. I’ve had their complete discography on repeat for the last two days, and it’s basically flawless. I’m lucky to have seen them live on Monday, or I may never have discovered them. open.spotify.com/artist/02eGe...

Blind Pilot and their openers, Viv & Riley, gave excellent performances at Ye Ol’ recordBar last night. Live music is a balm for the soul.

It’s my fault. I forgot to wear my red and gold football Mardi Gras beads last night. I am sorry.

Hey DOGE, while you're slashing budgets to ostensibly save taxpayer money, Trump just flew Air Force One to attend the Super Bowl. In 2022, the Air Force stated that the cost to operate Air Force One was $177,843 per flight hour or just over $2,964 per minute. Have to imagine it's even more now.

There’s something about watching the “He gets us” people spend millions on a Super Bowl ad rather than just putting that money to, you know, what Jesus purportedly taught.

Man rolling down Valentine Rd in wheelchair. Opts to roll in the street vs on the sidewalk. Then stands up, gets behind the wheelchair, and starts pushing. Anyone else find this a little strange?

Multiple of my favorite podcasts feature episodes longer than one hour. Do we really have minuscule attention spans, or just extremely low tolerance for BS? Long live long-form content!

"The keyword doesn’t have a future in search. What does is intent, and LLMs are much better at understanding it" (@sejournal.bsky.social). If true, this flips the world of #SEM and #SEO upside-down. It might be (past) time to relearn the #digitalmarketing trade.

Fact: Car washes waiting until 8am to open on weekdays are leaving big money on the table. Ever heard of school drop-off? Yep, I’m waiting.
