On This Day in 1985 the first Blockbuster Video opened and changed our weekends forever.

I have a student whose parent works for Disney Studios and he came in with this poster for me this morning. Really excited about this new season!

Bumped into some friends this morning on my run.

David Ortiz, Jim Thome, Aaron Judge and…Kike Hernandez? All have 17 playoff home runs. October Kike is so much fun to watch!

Just realized both former Bay Area teams are now 3-0. The last time the 49ers and the Raiders both began their seasons 3-0? 1990.

I expect to see Bluey make the NYT top 20 tv shows when they post the final list.

@thegodshow.com Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and now Optimus??

The FCC is reviewing a government program that helps provide internet connections at a discounted cost. Any changes to this program could impact school budgets and hurt rural districts significantly. We need to be sure to comment on this and protect this program from any cuts or changes!

Please avoid all salads, including word.

Shoutout to the Story Pirates for entertaining us on our drive today. Kids and I were laughing at an episode from season 7 and I was enjoying how good the writing and the humor is for these podcasts to get a 47, 16, 11, and 9 year old laughing out loud. www.storypirates.com/podcast

Happy Gettysburg Anniversary.

Happy Father’s Day from Philly.

Happy Topps Baseball Series 2 Drop Day to you and yours!

BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

In case you need any more motivation to hold the most corrupt "president" in U.S. history accountable. #Register&VOTE 🌊

My district currently ranks 47th out of 48 in average teacher pay in LA County. Pay increases have not kept up with the price of inflation. We have now gone two consecutive years without a settlement. Meanwhile the district and school board are seeking to pad out reserves well above normal.

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

You will rarely read a more epic tale than what James Bevel and those children did on May 2, 1963...63 years ago today. they're lack of fear, commitment, and willingness is almost unimaginable. Especially for what they were put thru. They literally saved the movement

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

Just got my voter information guide in the mail today and spotted this candidate whose legal name is LivingForGod DeMott.

Exactly the right song for the moment we are living in. Currently on repeat as I get started today. open.spotify.com/track/0p3lvr...

Teaching Watergate and Nixon’s presidency just has a whole different feel this year for some reason.

This one made me laugh. I’m a huge Scrubs fan and I’d watch the heck out of this one.

OPINION: (RNS) — All the perils of Christian nationalism came together and were shown to us with clarity this Easter.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Two young boys were locked up inside ICE's notorious detention center in Texas. Then Ms. Rachel shared their stories.

I don’t think people really understand that all that talk about why it’s impossible for a team to three peat just makes the Dodgers work harder to do exactly that and prove people wrong about them.

I think I may have cracked it

Made some new friends on my run this morning.

Made the mistake of mentioning tonight’s blood moon and now my younger two want to wake up at 2:30 am because they think the world will look like Breath of the Wild.

Out enjoying the Firecracker Run today with the kids and their friends.

Our school’s Humanities Academy hosted our 3rd annual Poetry and Art Showcase tonight for a packed house! We had TK students through high school come share their work tonight. Truly a special night.

Just the mayor calling to let you know you’ll have a snow day.

Made me tear up a bit. It’s a small thing, but it’s nice to see a government official who seems to enjoy the job and genuinely likes people.

I might have to buy a Switch 2. @jeremylittau.com have you seen this?

Happy Topps Series 1 Day! First pack first card was bookended with Yamamoto 1st and Ohtani variant. Excellent start!

Seahawks Kicker and Punter should be co-MVPs. Drake May passed for more yards and TD than Sam Darnold.

Oldest is currently belting out the Hallelujah chorus as he cleans the bathroom this morning, so happy Super Bowl Sunday to you and yours.

This is such a bummer. This tool has been a useful resource for me and my AP Human Geography students.

OPINION: In the United States today, the overwhelming threat to the church and Christian community is not protest of ICE, but ICE itself. religionnews.com/2026/01/29/i...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I can’t believe the news today Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away

Teaching the Gilded Age Unit to my students this year and I’d appreciate if the feds would stop giving me new ways to show my students why history is important. I just can’t keep up.
