Went on my first call tonight! Vehicle fire - tire and wheel assembly, not the engine. Got to gear up and ride in the red truck. #firefighter #volunteer

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Dumbbell deadlift burpees suck. Toes to bar sucks. Max deadlifts suck. Trying to do all of these things in your late forties sucks. Embrace the suck. #crossfit

I enjoyed taking a basic handgun course and firing a pistol for the first time in my life today. Turns out I'm not too bad a shot, and the indoor shooting range was nice. Will likely be purchasing a Sig P320 Compact and taking the Michigan CPL course next. Exercise your rights!

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Taking my parents to a Detroit Tigers game over Memorial Day, just got the tickets yesterday. Last year's playoff run made me realize that I actually really like baseball. Go Tigers!

It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

I’m gonna spend 2025 reading books and thinking about them.

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.
