Dad of 3. 🚲 Cargo Biker. 💻 Tech/Data nerd. ⚾️ #Mets fan. Appreciate craft beer, whiskey, fire pits, and good books. I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.

I’m begging news media to drop the jargon and stop calling Kalshi and its ilk “prediction markets”. It’s gambling, and gambling is doing what gambling has always done: damaging the integrity of any events being gambled upon.

That fucking guy put his name on the new Acela trains. Not even Amtrak Joe had the gall to do that.

Rooting against England in the World Cup gives me a taste of what it feels like to root against the US in every other sport.

My 4-year-old son apparently believes Siri can generate songs by sheer force of will and is trying to talk her into playing “Whenever Wherever We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” by Shakira & Taylor Swift.

We have a lot of problems in this country, but any serious national reform platform needs to include a ban on gambling apps.

The World Cup introduced my son to Shakira and “This Time for Africa”, her anthem from the 2010 cup. Every morning he insists on “listening but to the VIDEO”. 🤔

6 European teams in the final 8 after this beautiful upset-filled World Cup is a disappointing.

This game has the feel of a Sweet Sixteen game between a high-major school and some Cinderella from the Patriot League.

Just got home after a week away and I only have 2 beers in the fridge to choose from for tonight’s game. Hmm. 🇺🇸 🇧🇪

Trump exempts the Belgian diamond importing industry from tariffs, is given gaudy diamond ring with his name on it. Any 2026 candidate who can’t make this into a corruption scandal isn’t fit for office.
