Almost every band you can possibly you think of: “Check out our new album coming out this Friday” Cheekface: “Yo, it’s Wednesday. Here’s our new album”

Everyone is like Iowa is going down hill but here is something where we are a leader in www.kcci.com/article/canc...

My son says he’s going to dress like this when he’s older (minus smoking) and I am kind of here for Robber Baron chic

As a Gen Xr who grew up on Sitcoms, Happys Place is a throwback to the TGIF 90s shows but unlike say Tim Allen’s various shows, it is smart heartwarming and funny. Is Reba her generation’s Dolly. Because I feel like she could be

I am not sure why this is considered a “protest”. Seems like they are just using the same rhetoric as the current federal and state government www.weareiowa.com/article/news...

Periodic reminder: There’s no South Detroit

Trump Unsure What Department He Has To Cut To Make JD Vance Go Away theonion.com/trump-u...

McDonalds used to start serving lunch at 10:30. At some point they changed to where they don’t serve lunch until 11 now. And there’s a real causation, I mean correlation to when the world went to crap. Just saying

Gil Bellows cameo on the Irrational. Nothing makes me feel older than seeing Watty Watts become Attorney General.

My kids have still not stopped with this endless marathon of Tom & Jerry and Tex Avery cartoons which at this point… is still fine with me. Just unexpected

Me peeking at my sons writing journal “We went in the store for nine items but came out with 16” Holy crap! He’s going to be the voice of a generation

We are three weeks in to the kids watching nonstop Tom and Jerry. Their favorites are Tex Avery’s classic the House of Tomorrow and Car of Tomorrow. So in a world of streaming, video games, action movies; I am raising 80 year old men

My political view is if you were born James Bowman and you want to live your life as and have everyone call you JD Vance, you should be able to do that.

My kids love the Floor. It’s fun if a guilty pleasure. My only problem is that the cute old grandma and grandpa contestants are only about eight years older than Rob Lowe, which in turn makes me feel old.

I have two super short stories in this anthology! Dream Catchers: A Writers' Coffeehouse Anthology #writingcommunity #writing www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1XSQKBH

I have been binging @iwriteok.bsky.social’s Behind the Bastards six part episode on Vince McMahon from 2023 which is like doing an expose on Hitler in 1938. (Note: I am not making any implications of someone who is apparently legally cleared of most his allegations and was at the Super Bowl)

Let me share my top January streaming artists to show you how cool I am….. Oh no!!! 1 Sheer Mag 2 Voxtrot 3 Laurie Anderson 4 Royal Headache 5 Jelly Roll

We have been miscategorizing Michael Moore’s 1996 Canadian Bacon as a comedy when it was a better realistic dystopian fiction than anything Spielberg or Kubrick put together

Reminder. In my life time no Super Bowl halftime show ever got contemporary good reviews. Even the GOATs like Prince, U2, Beyoncé.

I enjoyed Kendrick’s halftime show and I am also enjoying all the posts from the usual suspects complaining about Kendrick’s halftime show

It may take as long as the Halftime show to explain to my wife who Kendrick Lamar is

My kids were excited for Trombone Shorty all week so that was worth it.

Enough ballads. We are in New Orleans. This whole pregame thing could desperately use some Big Freedia

From Classic Art Memes

Paul Ellering has looked 50 years old for the past 40 years

Listening to an old Rush Limbaugh episode of Behind the Bastards with a cold open seque into a lady talking about “a family man leading a double life” promo ad about the BTK killer is a chef’s kiss moment that @iwriteok.bsky.social probably didn’t expect from his sponsors’ goods and services

Bob Dylan: sings “It’s Alright Ma (I’m only Bleeding) Youngest son: This song sounds silly

Son: “We are having a mock election at school but I don’t like either candidate” Dang, now that’s preparing you for real life.

If I could time travel to any point in time, I would like to go back 30 years to let Alphaville know how popular they are going to be in 2025.

“All pizzas have good and bad things about them. Except Casey’s. Which is perfect”. - my son showing off his Iowaishness

Anyone who has worked at a Restaurant on a Sunday feels this

Not wrong

That my kid’s have access to many decades of content and choose to watch Tex Avery cartoons this morning warms my heart.

I mean Kim gave firefighters a standing ovation in her state of state address. What more can you ask from her? www.kcci.com/article/des-...
