Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 3hI do not like the Florida Gators very much but I feel relatively confident in saying I dislike them less than Florida fans do at the moment. 031

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It suddenly turned into hoodie weather, at least in the morning. Hoodie weather! 010
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm getting a little tired of drizzle but whew is it otherwise really freaking nice outside. One of those couple/three weeks per year that it's kinda perfect weather around here. 000
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Opened up nextdoor against my best interests about a story with the (completely abandoned) elementary school I went to being sold to the Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City. People (who are mostly not in this neighborhood) are going crazy about this. Of course. www.kmbc.com/article/trum...kmbc.comFormer KC-area elementary school sold to Islamic Society, district announces community partnershipInstead of sitting empty, Hickman Mills’ former Truman Elementary will stay active as a community and education site after a $1.4 million sale to Kansas City Islamic Society. 110

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I didn't realize how far the dumb song was getting into my football and politics timeline. Go listen to a fun song you remember y'all. You have one, listen to it and take a breath. 000
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's very funny that the one thing voice assistants do that most of us seem to really like is set timers. I love setting timers, I love saying 'set an x minute timer' and having a timer set. And every damned update it seems like you have to turn off stuff you don't need so you can set timers. 100

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I hate every one of these stories. Obviously. But goddamn despite myself they hit harder when you know and are familiar with the high school the kid went to. I know the halls he walked, the basketball court he played on. ...fuck. 111

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Anything James Ellroy wrote. He's a jackass, but if there's a place for being extremely right wing while writing a book it's writing 1940's film noir novels. 010
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Rewatching highlights and even as a Broncos hater I swear to god they thought they were playing two hand touch tonight. I have zero idea if the Chiefs are scary after this week because Denver simply did not play tackle football. 010
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 15/09/2026What a weird TD for Denver to allow there. I was like 'oh that's a silly play design' for a second and then they just let him run into the end zone. 000
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We're making fun of this, I just made fun of this. But quite honestly Isiah Pacheco is the dude I most honestly believed was trying his ass off every play, noticeably even by NFL standards, even if it didn't work. And I loved when he'd jump up on the screen and tell you about it. 100

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Another random thing I love about baseball is seeing stuff like this and I know these names and have slight opinions. Unless it is your actual job to know about baseball and aren't a Royals fan you probably don't. In a way that's very cool. 100
Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026@spiritusnox.bsky.social I meant to ask, did you play Murders on the Yangzte River? Another thing I quite enjoyed that seems up your alley if you didn't. Another Ace Attorney like with a bit of a spin, and some fun little asides to try to look up. 110

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It never went away and was here during the preseason for about the same reason the preseason exists from what i can tell.

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I have been through the mines of sports talk radio. And the worst of ESPN. I was brought up listening to political radio with my parents.

Grittybeard @grittybeard.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Alright so this is an old beef I'm mostly over. But when the Sprint Center was built in KC and failed to get an NHL or NBA team to come we were actually told 'Lebron would never come to KC to play an exhibition game if we had a team.'
