Really appreciate the Dallas Cowboys for ending their season so early. Thanks for giving me back dozens and dozens of hours spent sitting around watching TV. MVPs every single of them. 🫡

I googled Mexican Independence Day just to make sure I wasn’t mixing up the 15th and 16th. This result isn’t labeled as the AI summary on google, but boy does it seem like it is.

Wow. I haven’t posted in 2 months here. Well, good news: I spent two weeks in México recently for vacation. I was able to visit my ancestral homeland and see my fellow Téenek in San Luis Potosí. It was amazing. 🇲🇽

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs.
