I spent like fifteen minutes on twitter today and I’ll tell you in no uncertain terms: It is a ruinous environment that makes people actively stupider. It also sucks you in like no other. Turn it off now if you want to save your sanity… and not help the algorithm make it harder for you to ever quit. Heck the window is still open on the other screen right now, loading up some real nonsense.
I went there to get the 2025-25 FB schedule for my kid’s HS team. I found it and more. I’ll talk about the more another day. For now I want to focus on High School sports, starting with the kid moving to top 3 in AZ and top 86 in the USA in the 110m High Hurdles. Huge performance this past Tuesday puts him in shape to really explode as we near the end of his season and High school career. He’s worked hard for it and the rewards are starting to roll in.
Meanwhile the youngest is trying to find his groove now. He spent the track season hurt but managed to get some work in on the 7s circuit. Now he’s battling 5 other dudes for a starting spot on the varsity roster and dealing with a schedule that argues 5 possible wins out of 10 games. That’s enough for playoffs and a significant improvement over the past few seasons. So, though it is small and dimly lit, there is hope.
