TIL: Grown women overcoming an exiscential crisis over liking and using teen male-targeted AXE products for themselves because they really like how these products smell is a thing.

Unreal goal from my man Son to put LAFC up 2-1 against Real Salt Lake going into the half. Simply too much time and space for a player of hiis quality. Love the chemistry I'm seeing between Son and Denis Bouanga, the way

Watching the second half replay of the game at Bright and it's kind of funny how the rain started pouring down after we equalized via a Brighton own goal late. Thomas Frank had to go find his jacket.

Spurs play at 7 am tomorrow so I should be able to catch the whole first half before we head out for my daughters' soccer games.

Had a really nice graduation celebration dinner for Houston at Wisconsin Burger. Eawyn even made it, so we had the full crew, and we had two of our nieces along with all the grandparents, making for a fun and delicious family outing.

Bummed out that the women's pyramid isn't fully fleshed out yet in any of the 14 supported countries, but encouraged by the size of the player database (40K!). Regardless, it's a great start.

With Musiala out injured, Harry Kane has been showing some ridiculous evolution to his game this season. He's dropping deeper than ever before, often taking the ball directly off his center backs starting moves like he's a 6, yet still ending up in the final third for his usual contributions there.

Discovered secure and decentralized messaging app Delta Chat has built-in support for javascript based apps including Decker(!) so decided to set up an account for further exploration.

Just realized that John Scalzi was at Auntie's last night promoting his new Old Man's War universe book. Soccer practice would have made going a challenge, but he's an author I would like to see speak in person.

Jimmy Kimmel Live is suspended indefinitely. See lots of people cancelling their Disney+ bundles. Contemplating it myself.

Air quality at work seems kind of crappy again. Dusty and musty like they're just circulating unfiltered air.

TIL: There's a State Department funded study abroad scholarship programs referred to as Gilman Scholarships. This program is named for Benjamin Gilman, a moderate Jewish Republican congressman from New York (so no relation, just a fairly common last name), who passed away in 2016.

I've started reading the original Cassandra Cain Batgirl run and I just realized she shares a lot of aesthetic similarities to my old G.I.Joe favorite character Snake Eyes.

Spurs 1-0 Villarreal - I'll take the win, but very underwhelming game with Bergvall's cross turned bizarre owngoal the only moment of magic.

Heard from Mary this morning that Robert Redford passed away. Lots of good clips and remembrances on social media since. I definitely want to do a Sneakers watch with the boys and maybe the whole family soon.

Besides dropping a completely unready macOS 26 (see the App store issues) Apple also dropped Sequoia 15.7 so I'm doing some test installs this morning.

The girls have been doing an outstanding job of cleaning up the pups, who are absolutely filthy thanks to the damp weather and our torn up yard. It's at least a 20 minute job per dog!

My son's iPhone 16e is ready to go. Gave up last night after iOS and tried again this morning.
