You know, I remember watching Indiana destroy Alabama when I was on the ferry between Key West and Ft. Myers earlier this year. I feared that my Huskers would be destroyed after I saw them on our schedule. Looks like my fears were somewhat unfounded. 😂

I’m normally a social butterfly, but two full days of meetings means a peaceful Friday night feels amazing. I’m proud of you for getting through whatever it was you had to go through, and you make the world a better place just by being in it. Have a great weekend everyone!

One last selfie with the old Mutual of Omaha headquarters before we move to the new HQ next year. I made sure to have enough gear on hand today after work so I could pull this off. 😀 Yes, it was before I went and had my butt kicked by field circuit day at the gym. 😂 📷: Sony a7 IV

You know what really bothers me? The use of AI voiceover in ads, especially those Factor ads. Just the monotonous cadence that doesn't seem like it's natural drives me crazy.

I am well aware that words can hurt, especially after taking a course that taught me about how words hurt. I have also spent most of my life in social circles that would ghost me or punish me for how I tended to communicate.

If your position requires you to use the balance fallacy so your assumptions of an organization or system can go unchallenged, then you’ve lost the plot. Especially when it comes to religious organizations such as @focuscatholic .

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Dude, the amount of creepy guys on Threads defending Meta glasses is insane. So many of them think that just because something is legal means it's OK to do it. It's also legal to fart on an elevator, but most people don't because it's not nice to do.

If you wonder why MAGA treats Trump like the second coming, watch Jesus Camp. They were indoctrinating kids with this for decades. Specifically, watch the section where they lay hands on a cardboard cutout of George Bush and see parallels to today. 😬
