Ah, I see we’ve reached the “Tylenol causes autism” circle of hell.
If you are planning on getting Raptured this Tuesday, earn yourself some brownie points with the big guy and Venmo me your Earthly savings. I’m sure you won’t be needing cash in your next plane of existence. Inheriting the Earth ain’t cheap, you know.
Could be worse, I guess. I could be in Oklahoma.
Between work and moving, I’ve been going nonstop the last 10 days. Endeavoring to give myself a chill night tonight - let’s see if I resist the urge to dive into more boxes… 📦
Why can’t we use AI to tell me when my avocados are the perfect ripeness instead of, you know, taking jobs from artists and automating human interaction.
I have spent far too long tonight installing a dimmer switch in my dining room. There was a red herring wire which, in a cruel twist of irony, was red.
Is it the midterms yet? I know it won't all magically get better, but it'll get a little better, right? Right?
Apparently I have saved every allen wrench from every flat-pack piece of furniture i have ever bought, despite them all being the exact same size. #MovingProblems
Now I want to install one on the other toilet!
My new place has a bidet in one of the toilets, and I think I may be a convert.
Doing some work at the new place, and you can see the MOfO tower from my living room window! Trust me, it looks better in person.
Extra glad I’m moving tomorrow because my current neighbor is replacing their siding themselves, and it doesn’t sound like it’s going well. It could be some time…
At first I thought it was satire, but based on the rest of the profile, I’m pretty sure it’s not satire.
This weekend I’ve bought a house and a Costco membership. Not sure which one I’m more excited about 😂
Dating in 2025…
Make illiteracy great again.
I’m gonna chew on some nails.
Went on the way from closing to the house 😂
Thanks!!!
I’m a Little Bohemian 🏡
Is ketchup an appropriate condiment for anyone over the age of 12?
Remember when we used to say "decent" to mean "cool?" I think we should bring that back.
Closing on the house tomorrow, and off to the bank to get a BFC (big fucking check).
If you answer the “Tell me about…” prompt on Hinge with “…your relationship with Jesus,” we ain’t a match 😂
I haven’t done a 40 mile ride in probably 15 years. If you don’t hear from me, my legs probably fell off in my sleep. Also, we live in a beautiful place.
Poor Lando. #F1 #Formula1 #Monza #ItalianGP
I love Monza. Always one of my favorite races.
We live in a beautiful world.
Get outside. You won’t be sad.
First Friday Vibes, Benson

Obviously, the vast majority of you are not as pumped about Bruce Springsteen releasing Electric Nebraska as I am. It’s clear you’ve all been pumping your own gas for far too long.
Oh man, I love this. I am so ready for this album.
Holy shit! (Also, is this a big deal for Nebraskans? As someone who could see New Jersey from my window growing up and then lived in New Jersey for 15 years, this is a big deal.)
The only reason fucking Florida and the rest of this godforsaken country exist is because George Washington mandated smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army. That was fucking 1775.
The US playing Australia to a draw was epic! Also, Wallaroos is a brilliant team nickname.
Following! Also “Cute Birds & Labor Rights” is an album Joe Strummer definitely would’ve made if he lived another 20 years.
Okay, this is content I need.
I’m sorry - it’s really does fucking suck to feel alone. I know “tomorrow’s a new day” sounds like a shitty cliche, but it helps me keep going on the roughest days.
I know I’m privileged to be able to tune out the horrors of the world, but it’s hard to believe how quickly the world feels like it’s fallen apart.
I used to be someone who consumed all the news, stayed on top of every story, and could speak with conviction about current events. These days, I can barely read the headlines on NPR before I quit and aimlessly scroll on Instagram.
Hoodie with shorts weather is wonderful.
Wasn’t gonna let the rain stop me from some holiday weekend riding, but another flat had other ideas (luckily just a few blocks from home - didn’t want to do a field repair in this weather). Omaha, clean the damn bike lanes!!!
I ate like a teenager last night. This morning, I shat like a middle aged man.
Love this podium for Issac Hadjar. Quickly becoming one of my favorite drivers on the grid. #F1 #Formula1 #DutchGP
The album cover for Charles’ forthcoming indie/emo record. #F1 #Formula1 #DutchGP #CharlesLeclerc
A win’s a win, but not sure that bodes well for the Big 10 schedule…
This feels like one of those games that the Huskers lose on a last second field goal.
Happy = Nebraska Putt = Special Teams
Fun fact - a bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat.
Fair enough.
If Nebraska plays well, that’s great, and if they don’t we get to see more of the Australian punter, so that’s also great. Win-win.
He did have a long-term affair with his family’s nanny while married to Gwen Stefani. So maybe it’s best if we just give up on Gavins.
And let’s be real, Begley would probably lose the paperwork and miss the deadline to file if he tried to sue.
When the MAGA people said that Biden was going to send in the Feds, overrule state law, and take away our rights…
10/10, no notes.
Yes please.
No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?
That feeling when you get the “cash to close” email; and even though you’ve planned for it, the thought of writing a check that big makes you cringe.
Proposal to switch the rhetorical “Is the Pope Catholic?” to “Does the Pope say Ope?”
Nebraska achievement unlocked: college volleyball.
Come on, Instagram. Do better.
Anyone else of a certain age randomly get the theme from Doug stuck in their head?
Make your voice heard!
Fire Jim Pillen into the sun.
At that point where the world is just bad news overload and I don’t even know which topic I should be writing my representatives about. Like, can I just CC them all with a blanket “stop being such fucking dicks” and call it good? 🫠
Where are the people already incarcerated at WEC going to go? Nebraska has one of the most overcrowded prison systems in the US. We have people sleeping in gyms in some of the facilities in Lincoln. Who is this for? Who does this keep safe?
Today should be Wednesday.
WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.
Saw an honest to god hitchhiker today. On the side of the road with a hiking pack and sticking his thumb out. Honestly can’t remember the last time I saw that.
I have an irrational hatred of the way most Americans pronounce “Premier League.” It’s “prem-ee-er,” not “pre-meer.”
Fighting through the desire to just by a limp sitting in front on an AC vent today. Hitting the indoor bike because it’s an oven outside today. Hell, it’s only a slightly less warm oven in here today. 🥵
We all end up editing video at some point.
I mean, who doesn't love this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5BF...
Archie Wilson just proves what we all know deep down in our souls - that kicking is the best part of football and we need more of it. Let's add those crazy rules from the CFL too, with onside punts and rouges and kick outs.
I’m gonna be right on the edge of Little Bo - 12th and Dorcas. Only a few blocks from where I’m renting right now.
Honestly, it’s equal parts shitting myself and being over the moon. I got divorced a couple years ago (we’re still good friends - just heading in different directions) and I felt pretty adrift. Doing this on my own has been hard and scary and wonderful and affirming.
Had the home inspection for my new house today, and for a place built in 1911, there were only four items on the list (all pretty minor/cosmetic) which is pretty awesome. It’s starting to feel real.
The Haunted Guts of Interstate Eighty is definitely a prog horror metal band.
Caprese without the basil just looks sad. Still tastes great though!
Slightly diminish a band: Cash Cab for Cutie
Had a chance to go up to the Highline Apartments for Open Omaha - love the international style design throughout the building. And the pigeons were pretty chill.
That means I must have been doing… checks math… 665mph on the way to Aldi yesterday.
It’s crazy that networks spend billions of dollars making content and I’m sat here happily watching a British guy with a Go-Pro strapped to his head laughing maniacally at trains.
I love late summer evenings.
1st Street Vibes Only
Today is definitely going to require a nap or three.
I’m shitting myself a little, and pinching myself, but I’m also really fucking joyful. Holy shit.
Holy shit people, I bought a fucking house. Like, there’s still inspections and paperwork, but I signed a legally binding contract to buy a house. And as a single guy in his mid-40s who works in the arts, I didn’t think this was something I could ever do by myself, so I’m really proud.
If the Kinks were from Nebraska and came along 30 years later, we might have had Omadome Sunset.
Vintage Oasis has a VW Thing for sale, if you’ve got a spare $23k for a car that will most likely kill you in the morning.
Farthest I've been: N: Reykjavik, Iceland E: Tokyo, Japan W: Kona, Hawaii S: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Need to get south of the equator one of these days!
I have questions…
