Wish my Dad was here. I want to hear him call people weirdos or losers. Anyway, grief is such a silly thing

Mentally preparing to be out, and so back, multiple times before turning the game off and being content with my life (should things go wrong)

Too much pressure. They don't want to disappoint the fans to the point of paralysis

Other teams aren’t afraid to play in CBP in October, but the Phillies sure as hell are

The more I take in the news, the more I see things are just distractions. Keep your peace, Go Birds, Go Phils & *Gulp* Go Sixers

I'm an older millennial who grew up in the Internet boom. My wife and I literally instant messaged on MSN as teenagers.

As chronically online as I have been the last 20-25 years of my life, I have learned more Internet terms in the last week than I care to have consumed. Jesus it's weird out here

Before I go to bed I just have to wonder if the NFL is gonna open an investigation into Kelce throwing games against the Eagles. Only explanation.

I know I'm getting older because I'm starting to get immense joy from being barefoot in the house. Smh

How things have turned out the last 9months, part of me always wonders what his opinion of current events are. But selfishly, I'm happy he hasn't had to live thru this. He'd probably go from relieved to annoyed by about April. Anyway, grief thoughts are complicated

This might be weird, but I feel like this is my diary space, as opposed to X where I'm just silly.

My Dad passed a year ago, and he was one of those "I'm an Independent" older black guys but he was really just a Republican if he had enough drinks to admit it.

Hearing certain people talk about the shooting yesterday is enough to make me put my noise cancelling headphones on today

A thing I've been mulling over: Since this is now the nostalgia generation, why doesn't General Motors release a few discontinued cars yearly like Nike does Jordans.

You mean to tell me I can't get Pontiac Bonneville or Oldsmobile Alero with 2025 fixings in/on it?

I cannot lie 'No Lives Matter' so close to '**** Everybody' got a good chuckle outta me

Have you ever been afraid the car you’re behind might get lit up by cops at any moment though?

A guy in a truck with over a dozen homemade bumper stickers covering a plethora of hot button issues in the most insulting, hostile, and threatening way possible. The man is also raising a sign out the sunroof that says “Cops can suck my dick”

Today marked the year anniversary of losing my Dad. It's weird how a year can feel long & short at the same time. I'm hopeful this next year has more opportunities to make him proud..

On a lighter note, my mom is still mad my Dad didn't eat his leftovers the night he passed lol

Johnny Damon turned into Danny DeVito?

(How do Red Sox fans feel about this?)

Nice to see that old wrestler out on the field--Wait, is that?

This has crossed the threshold of being so bad that it might be slightly good. It's amazingly awful. Takes pure talent to pull this off

Can someone explain to me what the hell is this?

Brock Lesnar on WWE in 2025 means so many things. But what it confirms for me is two things:

1) (somewhat positive) John Cena is ok with giving Brock one of his final matches

2) TKO not beating the "money hungry" allegations

I didn't grow up a PBS kid. But after mine were born, I've have to utilize Daniel Tiger for every one of them. Today's news sucks

'Real American' theme works my cognitive dissonance every time. Horrible man, racist, narcissist man. Banger of a theme that reminds me of childhood and my affinity for wrestling (which I still watch). So today is weird, but I'm leaning more on the side of laughing at everyone's jokes,not being sad

This man is a cross between Col Sanders and Dusty Rhodes (h/t @cespedesbbq.bsky.social)

Angels fan in a white throwback jersey and black sunglasses up close, he has white hair with a touch of blond that is long on the top and sides that curls back from the middle of the forehead and a white extended length soul patch (below the chin)

So I just did a week of jury duty. Interesting case, I think justice was served. But my main takeaway is this: a lot of people look real pleasant and kind, but behind closed doors they truly lack empathy and sympathy for others. And that speaks to the state of the whole country.
