I get really emotional about it. And is one reason why I'm so angry about what Musk did to twitter. What an amazing community he broke apart.

I met my funding goal for that surgery in 4 hours. It was a little miracle that kept me from despair, health consequences, and bankruptcy. ❤️

In 2018, I had a cancer scare and needed a surgery I couldn't afford, a friend made me a GoFundMe, and people who thought my posts about baseball were funny funded my surgery.

We found Brandon’s dad.

One time my friend Brandon’s dad and his mom were in a heated argument in the car and she took his kid rock CD out of the player and threw it out the window with rage and he looked her dead in the eyes and pulled out a second copy of that same CD and put it back in the player.

I don't want to ever hear anything bad about this guy. I don't care what you find out. La la la la I don't want to know.

When I taught in-person I would put baseball games up on the big screen and my attendance was pretty good in October lol

John Schneider on G4 pitching plans: "Everyone is available tomorrow. Everyone is available, just not exactly sure who's going to start yet."

Call your boss and tell them you can't make it. Cancel your plans. Email your professors. Get your second screens in place. Tell your friends you're busy for the next 2-3 days.
