What is the record for most missed 3-point attempts in a row?

Remember, you can't please everyone, nor do you need to please everyone.

Yesterday was good (except for my lunch, but that's a whole other thing).

So far, today has been a mixed bag. Let's just say "yay for Manchester United" and we'll leave it at that for now.

I feel better about today. Yesterday was good, too, but I actually feel like I can do something else after wrapping up work other than sleep.

I think I did fairly well today.

I get it, the social media teams of professional sports teams have nothing to do with player transactions, coaching decisions, etc., but it's so cringey when they put out "thank you" posts following moves where the decision-makers clearly wanted to move on from the player. Just let it go.

I wish FIFA would cut it out with the bullshit regarding their volunteer recruitment for the World Cup. They’re a multibillion-dollar nonprofit, and they can’t afford to pay people to stand in the heat and usher people around like cattle. It’s not an experience; it’s exploitation.

Paige Bueckers seems like such a chill person who deserves far more mainstream attention than others that do receive that attention.

Well, it’s back to work today, and to be honest, I’m grateful to be able to make such a statement. Now, I have to make sure I remember to turn all my notifications back on.

At some point, you have to wonder if there's some underlying constant that has remained at Manchester United throughout this decade-plus-long period of managerial and front office changes and instability. 🤔

It doesn’t matter how you get there, just as long as you get there. The Panthers are headed to the playoffs! 🥲

The fact that Carolina had multiple opportunities throughout the season to win the division without the need to depend on another team almost makes me want to say that they shouldn't make the playoffs. But who am I kidding? Who knows the next time they'll be this close?

Go Falcons!? 🤢
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
Well, I have nothing on my calendar today, so what should I do?

I have a number of books in my queue as well as a couple of graphic novels, and then there's my anime queue that has been left alone for nearly a month now. 😱

I suppose it’s not possible to get a redo on the start of 2026, right?
January 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM
I think now is as good a time as any to call it day. For having spent over half the day in a mostly stationary state, today turned out to be quite the eventful first day of the new year.
January 2, 2026 at 5:00 AM
Welp. That was a disappointing result, and the worst part is that this may not be the only football-related disappointing outcome I'll have to deal with this weekend.

🫣 I don't need this level of stress on the first day of the year.
January 2, 2026 at 4:04 AM
Success! My resolution to eat sweets to the point of sickness has been achieved, and it only took about 19.5 hours (even less than that if you consider the fact that I didn’t get out of my bed until around 3 p.m.). 🥴

It’s all about the minor wins that build toward the greater successes. 🫠

Congratulations 🎉 to Indiana for a dominant win against Alabama and becoming the first program who has a bye in the opening round of the playoffs to reach the semifinal round!

After Texas Tech's loss earlier today, teams who have had a bye in the first round of the CFB playoffs are 0-6.

But, top-seeded Indiana currently leads Alabama by 17 at halftime, so the streak may be coming to an end, which is a good sign for Georgia fans.

I suppose I’ve lounged around and done nothing aside from watch sports and browse social media for long enough. I have a few things to do before I park myself in front of a TV with my phone by my side again.

Let's see if № 4 Texas Tech can be the first program to get a bye in the CFB playoffs and win, they face № 5 Oregon in the Orange Bowl.

According to the odds I've seen, Texas Tech is a 2.5-point underdog. 😒

Three more CFB playoff games on the schedule today, and three more chances for the NCAA to show how poorly organized their playoff system is.

It's as though they've never organized a playoff system before, except they have at different levels and across multiple sports. 🤦🏾‍♂️

It's a winning start to 2026 for Wrexham as they take all three points in their first match of the new year; they beat Blackburn Rovers 0:2.
