Not one to normally go political, but here goes anyway. Can we stop assessing Donald Trump’s approval rating? He has a four-year term no matter how much he is loved or hated. He will not resign, he will not be removed. Also, he cannot run again. So let’s just chill out on a meaningless number, okay?

That collapse perfectly encapsulates the season as a whole. Three straight years of an aging championship-caliber team annihilated by injuries. Feels like the the window has now closed for this era of Bucks Basketball.

Fits right in @amfam

Good for Rory. Now take that putter and toss it into Rae’s Creek, never to be seen again.

Every note hits on “The Americas” on @nbc. The most amazing moving photography, a perfect score, and the great @tomhanks on narration. Whatever categories they are in, they should win, hands-down. Letter-perfect in every way.

If there is anything I’ll never understand, it’s posting the final moments of your pet’s life online. I don’t get that on any level, other than you’re using the death of your best friend in a narcissistic bid to get attention. Make it make sense.

Updated forecast for the Brewers Home Opener tomorrow. See ya there 🍻⚾️

WE’RE IN‼️ See y’all in the Playoffs! #MILhockey

Multitasking.

Aaron Rodgers has left the Steelers’ facility. The two sides have yet to come to an agreement at this time.

My bi-annual celebration of the “s” in Daylight Savings Time. Just as it shall always be the “Gulf of Mexico,” I shall always celebrate by beleaguered, forgotten, and slandered second “s.’ Now please get off my lawn.

Not gonna lie…this was a fascinating conversation. But moreover, this was a conversation between two diametrically opposing world views who respectfully found some common ground. More debates should should be like this. At least we would stop yelling at each other.

A freezing day at @indianadunes.bsky.social couldn’t stop the @resistancerangers.bsky.social on Saturday. @altnps.bsky.social @nationalparks.bsky.social

A small but spirited @altnps.bsky.social protest at @indianadunes.bsky.social today on a frigid Saturday. Our parks are not for sale. Our public lands deserve to be staffed and protected.

No filter, no external color saturation, no enhancements whatsoever. Just Mother Nature showing off in the American West last night.

The Breakfast Club is now 40 years old. You’re welcome.

He’s not wrong. At all. And I’m not mad at him for saying it.

Kinda, yeah.

🎼 I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners are much more fun.🎼 Seriously, what silly goose is putting this home decor up in their house? Worry about your own damn life.

Have some Yosemite Valley in your life. In your feed, anyway. ✌️

Irony is dead.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m far less concerned with the Chiefs winning three straight NFL championships than I am the whitewashing of the fact that the Packers have already done it twice.

Mood: The dude lurking behind EA & Saquon.

Someone challenged me to name a second Lee Greenwood song today. Easy peas, fam. He schlocked the same song for another country. Wondering if there are others? 🎼GOD BLESS YOU AUSS-TRAILLL-EYAAA!!🎼 youtu.be/Bf3e9Cl1-Bs?...

Graduation from “Buddy!” to “Doogie!” was a day that I’ll never, ever forget. He made me love baseball and love broadcasting. Thanks, Bob. 💔

Okay, I’ve been non-political for a while here, but this has to be absorbed by Democrats: Trying to cancel Carrie Underwood is why you’re losing elections. Demanding purity in a gray world for someone simply singing a nonpartisan song loses the center. And you need the center to win elections again.

Still mad he lost to Michigan?

Praying for my friends that live in the area. They’re safe (evacuated to a hotel), but not everyone is as fortunate. Everyone’s homes are in danger. Scary stuff.

With the passing of Jimmy Carter, our oldest living former President - for the time being - is Donald Trump.

When public servants knew who their employers were and not vice versa. No one ever did more with their post-presidency, which spanned a mind-boggling 44 amazing years serving humankind. Godspeed, Mr. President.

As we embark into 2025, please be advised that if you disagree with me about something, it’s not personal, but I just don’t care. Sports, politics, entertainment, or anything else, you’re entitled to your opinion, I’m entitled to not give a 💩 what that opinion is. #SerenityNow ✌️
