Reminder: it’s sun outage week. The sun will be directly behind geostationary satellites, which will cause some interference on Saturday.

This happens twice a year, and for our purposes, it usually happens during or around Red River.

I wish I could properly convey how boring Portland is right now. Like, there’s nothing going on.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

had the daily mental breakdown about whether I gave the kids too much screen time, whether I played with them enough, whether they will grow up incurious and funneled into a meaningless misinformation ecosphere because their very existence is seen as a revenue source. haha oh well football is on

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I thought about doing a segment like that but then realized it’d mostly be predicting injuries. I don’t know if UTA can surprise on the downside…their o/u is 18.5!!

Have been cursing the apartments next door all night because someone’s smoke alarm has been going off for 3 hours. Just realized it was a smoke alarm I threw in the garbage earlier this week.
