More companies should announce their donations to the inauguration... Makes it easier to know which companies I should avoid doing business with in the future...

I used a Chrome plug-in to upload my Twitter posts, as I make the transition over to Bluesky. Sorry for the sudden walk down memory lane!

While I appreciate what @serial did for podcasts, anyone not giving credit to @Undisclosedpod and @rabiasquared has not understood the unbelievable effort and dedication to the case of Adnan Syed that has made this day possible. Listen to Undisclosed and learn...

The @Kroger store across the county line just stopped being dry. Nice to be able to quickly grab some beer. However, I feel bad for the folks that pick up the @SycamoreBrewing IPAs that are over a year old! It always seems that distributors dump old stock on new locations...

Sorry to see @eltshow and @heavyweight go... @Gimletmedia must realize that they are no longer making podcasts. They are making a show for @Spotify, and that is a significant difference. Open feeds are what has made podcasts great...

Listening to a podcast, and the host says, "Everyone knows the band Morphine..." No...no they don't. There has not been a time, since the early 90s, that I haven't turned someone on to the magic that is their "low rock" sound.

Picking up a friend at the airport... A public service announcement for human trafficking plays, and then they go back to the music playing in the airport... .38 Special's "Caught Up In You" Strange juxtaposition

OK brain... it's only six numbers. Surely, you can remember just six numbers from the time it takes to read a text and go back to the login screen... My Brain: Would you be willing to accept 5 of the 6 digits, in something close to the original order?

Just passed a car sporting a homemade American flag paint job, and "Freedoom" was painted on the side. I just didn't have the heart to tell them...

I gave up doomscrolling awhile back... Now, I am giving up "doom-podding". If a podcast episode does not bring me happiness in the first few minutes, I skip it...

As always, the new episode of The Tobolowsky Files is heartfelt and displays what a gift @Tobolowsky has as a storyteller. Put on your headphones and go for a nice walk while listening...the perfect antidote for these crazy times. pca.st/episode/1bb870…

As I rummage through the beer cellar, deciding which older beer to try, I have to ask: Should I keep this bottle that has real chicken feathers glued to it for a special occasion?

Is it the fact that it is 25 years old? Or, is it the fact that I am 25lbs. heavier? Either way...my ride ended sooner than expected!

Me: I see that the Kroger across from our neighborhood is threatening to close if they can't sell alcohol. Daughter: They don't sell beer? Me: We have lived here ten years...have you ever seen me buy beer there? Daughter: I thought they just sold Bud Light...

For those of you who know me well, it may come as a surprise that I just received my first speeding ticket in a foreign country...48 km/h in a 40 zone! (That's 29 mph in a 25 to my domestic friends.) I hold no grudges... Austria is still amazingly beautiful!
