My wife suggested I go to the Peach Bowl with a couple of IU dorm buddies. Which was nice of her. #peachbowl #hoosiers

The β€œA Friend In Deed” episode of #Columbo with the crooked police commissioner has the most satisfying gotcha ending of any crime drama I am currently aware of

I use Threads a fair amount. And Instagram, which is kind of an online journal for me, with photos. And a long time ago I turned Facebook into a place I like by removing everyone who wanted to fight, then signing up for fun pages. So it’s like Evan Finch and other friends plus insects or whatever…

I signed up for this back when Elon imploded Twitter and also Threads (and also a few others). Then I messed up my password here and haven’t been back for a long time, but figured it out the other night to come say hey.

Aw, man, back when it happened I think I saw some footage of that and somehow John McCool was involved but it’s so long ago all details in my mind are dust. I think about that footage now and then and how fun it would be to have it…

Well, I’m curious what happened over there but it’s none of my bee’s wax. Sorry if it was mean to you.

I assume you're preserving the the "-di-" syllable to maintain equivalency to "Jonathan"? Instead of collapsing it with an implied apostrophe, as we tend to do here in the Midwest?

Last year I bought a book called "Other Minds" that talks about octopus intelligence and stuff. This post is inspiring me to move it up the stack!

As some of you know, I teach #negotiations at the law school level, at Indiana University McKinney School of Law. I've written previously about #Trump 's negotiation style. Let's talk about what's happening right now.

Howdy. I am in fitful wandering mode and have not settled in any particular app β€” but good to see you here if you’re exiting the Metaverse. I’ll look forward as always to your continuing LP thoughts as they arise.

(a year passes unexplained) …hi! I appreciate that note. Sort of like if someone pulls you aside at a party to say β€œYou need to stop saying β€˜ain’t it the truth,’ you say it all the time, dude.” Or whatever. I think I might have linked my Insta to TW so that didn’t help my RT ratio. Anyway, thanks!

It totally is. I say this to people sometimes for all the good it does. It’s so effective and destructive
