One of my favorite random baseball oddities is that Ken Griffey Jr. is the 2nd best ballplayer to be born on November 21st in Donora, PA.

I was getting out of the Navy, a friend was CTO of a very early dial-up ISP and knew I could pick it up quickly, so he convinced me to move to NYC & work for him.
He quit that job 4 months after I moved, but I had learned enough to be valuable.
Quickly found myself in the “drop-out or PhD” world.

Montclair to NYP train today.
The app mentioned that trains were diverting to Hoboken by 8:20. Got on the train at 8:25. No announcement about diversion. Finally just announced at 8:50. About 90% of the train had no idea.

One thing about being a pretty-much every day outdoor runner, if you get up and run in a cold rain for an hour, the worst part of your day is likely over really early.
Hot showers & coffee help too

Did you know that NJ Transit has a customer advocate? Follow him here: @customeradvocate.bsky.social
Transit in NJ is good, but it can always be better, and honestly, there are simple changes (mostly with communication) that would have outsized benefits.

This NJ Transit advocate has been trying to fix your commute, but you probably don’t know he exists
After one year on the job, NJ Transit's customer advocate says he's made some improvements even if most people are unaware of his job.

I had my original Twitter account nuked for a similar incident.
I think people are missing the context, where she posted this is direct response to the stupid WSJ article, where the idiot talks about discovering Johnny Cash in his grandfather's record collection, specifically Folsom Prison Blues.

Upstate NY Republicans actually talking about how Trump is dragging them down. And how their voters (that went 70% Trump) are really angry at Trump.
Better get Trump to yell at them and get them back in line.

Am I just so starved for mindless entertainment that I’m actually enjoying Derek Jeter’s story about wearing a gold thong to break a slump, or am I drunk?

Training new hire via Teams screen share is so annoying.
And the most frustrating part is when people don’t know keyboard shortcuts.
Just biting my tongue to stop from blurting out, “CRTL-C, CTRL-V!”

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

This is my kitten Gandalf. Note his ridiculous tail. It is ALWAYS puffed up like that, not just because he’s sniffing my bourbon. He’s so silly.

One of the best feelings as a parent is seeing your kids become independent adults.
My boys went to college last year much less mature than I was when I went to college.
I was worried, because they were sheltered and naive, but they matured and excelled, and are so much more mature than me at 19.

So you take the 8:55 train to NYC out of service at EWR Broad, have another empty train to NYC sit there for 5 minutes and not load, then a full train shows up, and only 2 doors open?
Is anyone is charge?
Does anyone ever think of contingencies?
