This is what I call back to school shopping.

I may just be old, uncool, or lame, but the whole dirty/loaded soda thing doesn’t do it for me. I tried it, at least.

The trick doesn’t work as well when the calculator screen has a slightly better resolution.

I’m not hiding UNDER my desk at work. I’m hiding BEHIND it. There’s a difference.

Also, for all you people using this platform to share beauty, thank you.

I am not cut out to be an artist. I don’t mean talent wise. I mean based on mentality. You have to hustle and believe in yourself when others might not. You often have to disconnect your emotions from your work and I just can’t do that. More to come….

I think this is about to become my cranky account. Nobody sees it, so it can just be me venting on the internet…which is fine.

Dinner for the evening is a veggie burger, spiral potatoes, and a watermelon wave vodka cocktail.

I couldn’t tell you how many hours of Mr Rogers I have watched in my life. His show was a big part of my childhood. I wanted to do something to pay tribute to that.

People surprise me every day. Sometimes, I’m lucky and it’s a good surprise. Other times, it’s bad. I saw both today.

This is just about the perfect toy. You get to assemble it like a Lego, but then when you’re done, you have a truly AMAZING pair of action figures. Krypto has limited articulation, but Superman is very pose able. Blokees absolutely nailed this thing.

Today was a hard day. But it was at least a hard day with good weather. Getting out of the house helped.

You know what is really neat? The fact that I am almost 50 and I still regularly learn about animals I never knew existed. And I’m a HUGE animal nerd. I pride myself on knowing about obscure animals. But there’s always more to learn about. Like today…Asian swamp Eel. That’s a real animal!

I took some time this morning to draw some pictures of the real star of the World Cup yesterday.

Bluesky has a live function now? That’s kinda cool. I could either do a live of me drawing that nobody watches or a live of me playing music that nobody watches.

So, a bunch of my town is without internet right now. Apparently, they tried to upgrade something and it went wrong. Customer service lines are flooded and we are rocking with mobile data for the time being. Oh well.

Living in 2026 feels like a constant triage of dealing with the dumpster fire that is the USA. What horrors are trying to make you spiral? Well, that depends on the day.

When I tell people I’m from a small town, I mean it. This video shows the entirety of Sage, AR.

I made a mistake today. I had a positive scientific opinion about something and made a little post about it. I guess I hadn’t learned my lesson.

I haven’t been to my local comic shop in entirely too long.

I really like Crepe Myrtles. But I like to pronounce them “creepy Myrtles.”

Happy Caturday from Troy. He’s an odd boy, but a good boy.

I got new glasses today. The prescription changed more than I realized. It’s going to take some getting used to. I feel like I’m walking around wide eyed.

Sometimes, you spend money out of curiosity.

My cat Trixie burned her paw and got a little shaken up today. We took her to the vet and she should be ok, but they’re keeping her overnight to be sure. She should be fine, but she’s got to be really scared and confused at the vets office and I hate that so much for her.

Brandon Rout @brandonlrout.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Special media is kind of like a window and we show what we want others to see in that window. Whether it’s accurate or not, it tells a story of what’s “inside the house”. Some people appear to have very interesting and exciting houses. Mine probably doesn’t seem as such, but that’s ok.

Anybody else remember the TV show “Dinosaurs?” They didn’t wear pants.

If I were a gambling man, I would wager this video does NOT go the way you think it will. It didn’t go the way I thought it would and I’m the idiot in it.

Kiddo LOVES “Project Hail Mary” so I drew her a Rocky with some of his best lines. She asked if we could frame it and put it on her wall, which makes me very proud.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson! Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic strip of all time. It’s brilliantly written and every panel is a mini art lesson.

If “JAWS” taught us anything, it’s that there’s no problem that unfettered capitalism can’t make worse.

I start my last year of my 40s tomorrow. I feel like I should come up with a goal to achieve in that time. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, just something that would count as an accomplishment. I just don’t know what it should be.

The days leading up to my birthday always put me in a funk. I don’t care that I’m getting older (I’ll be 49) it just feels like summer is already almost over. It was like that as a kid growing up and it’s like that as a teacher. After July 5th, it feels like I blink and then it’s back to school.

I need you to understand that Charley Ray does not care how you’re sitting. He WILL end up draped in your lap wanting scratches and pets. #caturday

Can you tell I am a big fan of Maurice Sendak and Jim Henson?

I really enjoyed Supergirl. I’m glad I had read the comic it’s based on, but I don’t think anyone needs to have read it to enjoy the comic. It does a very good job of explaining how Kara is different from Clark and WHY she’s different from Clark. I want to go see it again.

It’s time!! About to watch the newest chapter in the House of El.

I spent the last two days at a training over coding in Python, Raspberry Pi’s, and physical computing with breadboards. It was a LOT of info and I had fun, but my brain was tired by the end of it all.

Banana ball is one of the best things in American sports right now. It never loses sight of the fact that it’s just supposed to be fun to watch a sport. Banana ball is just fun

I mowed my yard Tuesday and it hasn’t rained since then. So, I was honestly good to go for at least a day or two. But then, my neighbors on both sides mowed their yards. Both of them! So what did I do? I lowered my cut length and mowed the damn yard again. I will not have the shaggy yard.
