On the fifth anniversary of the insurrection, I can only say that its profoundly sad that convicted seditionists face no consequences and that Trump was ever allowed to hold office again.
Jan. 6 was one of the most shameful days in our history, only the whitewashing is sadder.
Its pathetic frankly.

Waxahatchee - "Tigers Blood". This kinda snuck up on me to become possibly my favorite song from last year. Can’t say I’ll miss 2025 one bit but songs like this at least made it more bearable. youtu.be/FnZDvYiTSJs?si… via @YouTube

Swings 'round with the gun
And spotlights the snowflakes
Like the dust in the sun
It's Christmas in prison
There'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick
I love you, goodnight”

In very fond remembrance of the late, great Chris Farley. As warm-hearted and generous as he was hilarious. Here he is before an improv show at the Ark Theater in Madison, Wisconsin back in ‘87. #chrisfarley

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

My junior year at IU, the team’s record was 0-11. The games were still pretty fun if you didn’t look at the scoreboard.
Over the last century, defeat has been the near-constant companion of Indiana University football. But with a new coach, new players, and new energy, the Hoosiers shot up to No. 1 in just two years. It has everyone asking: How did they pull this off? 60 Minutes, Sunday.
