I'm Uncle Sam, That's who I am. Been hidin' out, in a rock n' roll band.

Mainer, mariner, skier, data man, deadhead, etc.
Upside: 10hrs of sleep

Downside: Wide awake early on a gross freezing rain morning where I should be sleeping in

Online orders should be prioritized below both in-store and drive through customers because fuck you, get off your lazy ass and get down here if you want a coffee
Customers in drive-through windows shouldn't be assisted until everyone inside has been helped

Managed to go Puerto Rico for a week, drink a lot of rum, and still lose another 6lbs.

Closing in on 25 down in less than 3 months the old fashioned way. 270 to 245.

Yep, same. And I know my name is in her campaign database because I used to be the sysadmin for the state party
Mills is absolutely nowhere to be seen on the campaign trail. I'm a registered Dem with a history of donating, zero outreach. No signs. No announced events

She is maximally phoning it in, and it's going to be extremely painful for a certain strain of New England liberal when she loses because of it
Mills is in the very bad position of essentially being the closest thing to a primary challenge to an incumbent senator outside Hickenlooper and she is doing absolutely fuck all to compensate for that. Unless something new and damaging drops, Platner's going to win the primary.

Chat, what do we think the chances of my flight home leaving tonight are?

Originally scheduled 8:35, now delayed til 12:39am...

Well, I guess there are worse places than Viejo San Juan to be stuck waiting for a delayed flight

Just went on a "bioluminescent" kayaking tour that was less fun than waiting in line at the DMV.

If you are ever in Puerto Rico, avoid the Fajardo kayaking tours at all costs.

Let's get a hell yeah in the chat for the gruff New England firefighters that hate the fascists
One of my favorite parts of Christmas was listening to my wife's uncle, a gruff New Hampshire firefighter, shit on Republicans. Because if you saw this man out on the street you'd absolute assume he was a Trumper.

My mom just came back to the AirBnB much later than expected, having found a bunch of people drinking mojitos outside a corner store and deciding to join them
If I have learned anything in my 3.5 days in PR it is that they are pretty serious about their rum drinks

On our Christmas morning walk, my friend was telling me that the peninsula we were on could just as easily have been called a promontory or even a cape. I think it's a good point.

Lol someone just blocked me for telling them they were using a metaphor that doesn't make sense, 5 sec after quoting me lol

I was at a table last night with nine Dem primary voters aged 35-75, and every single one of them was ready to crawl over broken glass to vote out shitty incumbents

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!

It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

Hey guys Kat Rosenfield is exactly the same type of vapid and evil as Bari Weiss, but she's a freelancer for Reason with no power, so you can safely disregard her bullshit.

@primaryschool.bsky.social I got to introduce some of my politically active but not super plugged in family to the Bailey's tonight, and it was pretty awesome to see the normies flip hard

This doesn't suck

My mom had one of these and it was sooo good. Too bad she crashed it...

I might actually sell enough private ski lessons at the bar to make a halfway decent side income
December 21, 2025 at 12:41 AM
I forgot how much I enjoy teaching skiing

I'm going to Puerto Rico next week and our rental is on "Calle Ocean Drive". That tickled me.

Progress can only flow from the premise that we can be better, as a nation, than we once were, and than we are today.
i have been thinking a bit about how any political program that requires the premise of “america bad” is a dead end

Set my benchmark time for skinning up Pleasant Mountain today - 45 min.

I think with fresh legs I could do 40. Goal by April is <30.

I am a white man. I do not want my immigrant coworkers kicked out of the country. I do not want women forced in to domestic servitude. if there is some nominal injustice I face you wish to address by doing these things, I prefer to face it
