Just Dan for now

All shoes are running shoes if you are being chased.

The Padres are not good for my blood pressure.

Due to the heatwave, I have been invaded. Less than 10. A scouting party. Resting on the festive cobwebs strung between vents. They dare each other to sit atop the frame of the zapping racquet, taunting me. I shall redouble my efforts...

As a Padres fan, I feel cursed. This city is cursed. We bore the Clippers and the ‘no Super Bowl’ Chargers charged North. The Padres are keeping the streak going. I also think it’s the mascot. A bald white guy who is way too religious & maybe nude under that robe, in 2026? Photos with kids? No.

Why does ‘Art History asshole’ roll off the tongue so easily? Come on, you might just know one.

I wish I could bribe the curator at the Rothko museum to hang all the paintings upside down one busy tourist day and see how many complaints they get. I put the o/u at 7.

I secretly really like Costco. I read almost every article in the news app and flip through the mailer. Every time. Just fyi: the churro is back. I am so ashamed.

Pennsylvania is the Alabama of the Northeast.

New corporate tax code: If you give back, you pay less. 25% flat rate, 5% less for a living wage, healthcare, on-site daycare or childcare, no government kick-backs… you get the idea. Lowest rate would be 5%.

As an Architect: if data centers must be built (they don’t), they need to be buried in the earth, covered with solar panels, and take advantage of nature’s cooling with the earth by keeping the temperature at 55 degrees. That would drastically reduce the water needed for cooling.

Dolly was the rarest celebrity that resonates on both sides of the aisle. MAGA claims her for country music, but her values were that of a liberal Democrat and she never gave an interview where she chose a side. RIP legend.

It’s funny how the guy who names himself ‘Freedom’ probably belongs in jail.

If Trump, Musk, Bezos, or any billionaire wants to have a legacy close to that of Dolly Parton and be remembered for the amazing and charitable person she was, it’s not to late. You can change your ways right now and save the world. It is entirely in your hands. Giving is more powerful than greed.

My top three favorite players in the W right now are: Olivia Miles Angel Reese … and anyone who tells ‘Karen’ Clark to calm down

Tis’ the season for middle-aged white men to complain about which middle-aged white man commentates on a football broadcast.

Therapist used zoom today and the AI feature I never asked for popped up and wanted to ‘take notes’. The LAST thing I want from a therapy session is a record of my insanity.

Dear political shows and podcasts. You do not need to do sports coverage. You announcing a score is just useless. You are a political show. Unless you are diehard and know your shit, it just comes off as cringy. Remember a certain Notre Dame coach doing a fake southern accent? Same vibe.

If Todd Blanche was the nominee under Obama, his nomination would not have gotten this far.

If Todd Blanche is not your moral line in the sand, than who is?

Democratic politics is now just… ‘Remember that thing that was illegal and really pissed you off last year? It’s finally going to court 12 months later and we won!’

San Diego, what’s your excuse?

The next Democratic President should just abandon the WH and fine a nice, simple place to live. This tacky bullshit is going to cost so much to undo.

Dear Inside the NBA, please stop trying to make Draymond Green a thing. He sucks at TV and punches people in the dick during his playing days. Enough.

I hate the internet. You look up a waffle maker one time and this shit will not stop trying to sell me one. My kids asked about a waffle maker. I am not some sort of waffle-making freak that I have a collection and am buying new ones every week. Please fuck off.

It feels kinda weird to realize that a French man (Wemby) and a French women (Liberty, Statue of) are towering over NYC right now.

Rich people who could afford to go to game 3 at MSG booed Trump. I guess it’s all fixed now, thanks.

If AI is functioning right now without interruption, what are all the new data centers really for?

LA being super proud how Spencer Pratt is not going to be in the runoff is peak 2026. We are fucked.

I remember a time when good pickles were affordable.

The first case of screwworm in the US was at Trump’s first inauguration.

AI is just that lazy kid in class trying to copy the smart kid’s answers on the test and still getting it wrong.

There needs to be a 1-800# for ADHD intervention hotline. I’m trapped with indecision and just need a stranger to tell me what I need to do to get unstuck.

America’s 250th birthday feels like a funeral.

I went from the ‘how many cookies have I ate,’ to ‘how many are left in the box’ stage.

Knick’s fans still screaming ‘Knicks in four’ after game 3.

Been watching cable TV like it’s the early 2000’s and I would just like to say to the single ladies at America’s Test Kitchen… Hey…

Madison Square Garden is actually round. I am an Architect.

The Knicks game with Trump there would be a perfect time for Black players to sit out to protest what SCOTUS has done. It’s a dream, but it would have an impact.

All publicly funded stadiums need to have ticket prices capped so the public can afford to go. If you want to gouge the public, build your own fucking stadium.

Eating food before it can go bad, especially before leaving town for a bit, should not count as calories. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I thought the ballroom was an indoor venue.

I would like to start a taco stand called ‘Nothing-burger’ and trademark the name and sue anyone who says it.

I hate ESPN, example #236: They show more press conference footage than actual game action.

NBA media: How do u get Chet more involved offensively? SGA: hmmmm

Shooting nothing but 3s when you are down and when you have the tallest player in the league sucks to watch.

New rule (old take): If you are bounced from the playoffs, your commercials are no longer allowed to air. Any sport. Looking at you Tatum.

NBC is determined to remind me of why I hate Jimmy Fallon.

Hearing all about the players still playing in the NBA playoffs, it is starting to feel like the Sixers traded away a finals team.

I hate watching SGA play basketball. Same with Harden.

Alex Caruso wearing a white headband on his bald white head makes it look like his entire body got circumcised.

I hate Chet.
