Asked my kids if they had any Pokémon cards they wanted to check prices on and list on my TCGPlayer store. My eldest had a random $80 full-art Bulbasaur in her binder. No idea it was worth anything. TCGs are silly.

Kids are at the neighbor kid's birthday party.
Birthday boy's mom is not home. Left 30 mins after stated arrival time to pick up cake, presents, and decorations. Asked other parents who could stay and supervise.
I don't get it.

Substation strikes again
49ers Pro Bowl DE Nick Bosa suffered a calf injury in practice this week and is expected to miss a few weeks, per me and
Adam Schefter.
He's out this week against the Cardinals, and it's TBD whether he lands on IR.

Finally have health insurance again.
Really wish this didn't have to be such a stressful process. One of America's biggest shortcomings.

Can we please -- PLEASE -- stop wasting ad dollars on abortion in 2026?
Crowley's team is already devoting precious seconds to painting Tom Tiffany as pro-choice.
It's baked in! This is not a vote-getter! Nobody's sitting on the fence, waiting to hear more! Hammer the economy, you idiots!

I am at a loss. Exactly zero of these VAR reviews have appeared to be fouls to me. I don't understand these calls at all.

My SIL bought a $5 tin of Pokémon cards at a yard sale for my kids.
Turned out to be a legitimate holy grail situation. Couple thousand dollars in cards. Stuff I used to dream about as a reseller.
They're taking them back to the seller (rightfully so), but still, wild story!
