One of the blowups wandered past and some asked how it it was going, and this deep booming voice came out with “I’m hot as hell, bro, but the vibes are good.”

Just watched the Husker highlights. Minnesota did more sacking than Sherman on his march to the sea.

I’d say it’s unbelievable. But it’s very believable. Because apparently caring about the planet is “woke.”

The Mary-marry-merry merger is doing the rounds on TikTok, which is funny because I blew my Nebraska born and raised coworker’s mind with this a couple months ago. To me, they all have different pronunciations.

The last article posted on the World-Herald's Arts & Theatre page was on September 18, and paid influencer content is taking the place of critical writing, so that's just one more shitty things happening in the world.

I need to purchase a year’s supply of Pumpkin Spice Yogurt Covered Pretzels from Aldi before they’re gone. Pumpkin Spice isn’t usually my thing, but these things are amazing.

Amazing.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Been getting back into Zwift lately, and did my first race in 5 years today. Didn’t finish last, and had the highest watts per kilogram in my classification, so trending in the right direction!
