I was today years old when I realized why the Eagles current logo faces left. The right side feathers form an “E”.

(Bonus avian logo trivia: if you never noticed, the Falcons’ logo is in the shape of an “F”.)

Just learned that Bob Weir passed away yesterday at 78. Tremendously Grateful for all the amazing music he brought into the world. Fare thee well, Bobby 🌹

Not going to hold my breath for congratulatory texts from my Wisconsinite friends tonight. 🏈

After a heartstopping finish in Newcastle tonight, my UConn Huskies tried to do their best to up my heart rate at Providence… coming from 13 down late to force OT and pull out the win. 🏀

What a finish at St. James’ Park this evening, I wish I could have watched. Thankful for the BBC Newcastle audio feed that’s provided on nufc.co.uk! #HTL #NUFC ⚽️

I think I’ve hit the point where I’m marking all political text messages as spam, even from people I agree with because it’s all too much. I didn’t sign up for any of this.

Meanwhile, I’m pretty excited for my Bears to be back in the playoffs. I thought we might have another season, but Ben Johnson is awesome. My coach of the year for sure. 🏈

I’m not a Chiefs fan, but if I were Travis Kelce, I’d hang it up. Nothing more to prove. Have a lot ahead of you, why risk your health? Take the money and run. 🏈

He’s got the Peace Prize for sure now.

Just finished The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource by Chris Hayes. Very much recommended for the age we live in.

Borrow from your local library or buy from your local bookstore.

BEARS!

We need to pass a law barring the naming of institutes and buildings and other government things after people who are still in office at any level.

Happy to have installed iOS 26.2 last night. This is the big win for me as someone very reliant on Reminders. Now do Calendar.app, Apple!

Definitely not loving “inspo” as shorthand for “inspiration”.

Dear parents, when you’re sitting in a cold, dark parking lot with a lot of other parents waiting for your kids, this is what parking lights are for. Use them. There’s no point in us all blinding each other.

I’m going to have come to grips with the fact that my Bears may actually be for real this season.

Big win today at St. James Park—feeling pretty good about it! #NUFC #HTL

UConn beats Duke. That’s not unusual, but doing it in football is new. 🎉

Sad to see that Uni Watch will soon be taken off the web. Hopefully the writer can take the archives to a new endeavor!

This upcoming Apple Reminders feature is one I’ve wanted for years, and seriously considered vibe coding an app to make this happen. High hopes for this one: iOS 26.2 Adds Alarms for Reminders

I’m sorry Toronto.

But it was an epic World Series.

As a neutral, I both want to see the Jays wrap it up with a come back in the bottom of the 9th, while also wanting the baseball season to last one more game.

Scariest thing I saw driving my girls tonight for Halloween was a house with a lit Christmas tree inside.

Such a beautiful New England fall day. Wish I could sit on my deck in the sun without the drone of industrial-grade leafblowers echoing across the little valley we sit at the bottom of.
