Long time fan of @foxyshazam and glad to see him getting more mainstream with #peacemaker. I’m talking his 2010 self title album by the way

It was at this moment my finger went sideways during my roll today

Is it just me or is weird seeing parents squeeze themselves into kiddie rides just to ride solo?

@peoples_unicorn @kaylahaas That was my first thought as well!

@kaylahaas The Yankees fan in me could never

Do you like the song “Sweet Caroline”? Discuss.

Hey @supabase are you having issues? Suddenly nothing is syncing for me.

Hots&Cots is built on transparency & that applies to me, too. A few weeks ago, it was brought to my attention that the Android version of Hots&Cots was flagged by Exodus Privacy for containing Huawei code. The code came from the notification SDK I use, specifically, @onesignal, which includes optional support for Huawei Mobile Services. To be clear, I’m not anti-Huawei. But there are valid privacy concerns, especially for service members and government-adjacent users. Even if unused, just having those classes present can trigger red flags during audits or app reviews. Since then, I’ve been working diligently to strip out those components without breaking notification functionality. I currently have a bug open with OneSignal to get clarification and push for a more modular, privacy-friendly SDK. If that’s not possible, I’ll switch to a new platform. Privacy is important to me since launch and still is 1.5 years later.

My kid calling skittles, shittles will never get old.

If caring about how we feed our service members makes me “cry,” then yeah I’m crying. Because it is wild that professional athletes, whose job is to entertain, receive world-class nutrition, while the 1.4 million active-duty men and women who signed up to serve this country are dealing with closed DFACs, limited hours, and cold chow. Don’t get me wrong—I respect the athleticism and discipline it takes to play at the professional level. But we signed a different contract. One that includes the possibility of dying in service to the nation. And for saying “soldiers in WWII had it worse”—hell yeah, they did. They also fought in wool uniforms and stormed beaches under machine gun fire. That was nearly 80 years ago. We talk a lot about having the best warfighters (hot buzzword these days) and the best equipment. Well, nutrition is part of that equation. If you want top performance, you need to fuel it whether on the field or the battlefield. So if pushing for better food and quality of life for today’s service members is embarrassing to you… maybe you’re not the one we should be listening to.

As @StevenBeynon once said I am the library of receipts and I have them @SecArmy @SecDef

OHH WOULD I

Nobody ever tells you what little hoarders kids are

Huge thanks to everyone who helped spread the word about this weekend’s @aerhq campaign! Because of your support, I donated $60 to AER this morning and that doesn't include the matching donation from thatPAO. AER is an incredible organization. Last week, Tony shared a story about a Captain whose autistic son needed a special bed that Tricare wouldn’t cover. That same day, AER stepped in and covered the full $10,000 cost. This is why AER matters. If you can give—even a little—it goes a long way.

Soldiers coming through for @aerhq with the match

@YCSO_SC Do I do this while driving or stopped?

Today is National #LookUpAtTheSky Day, we encourage you to look at the beauty and significance of the sky. A day to slow down, take a moment to gaze at the sky, and remember to lock your cars and take your valuables inside with you at night. #YCSONews youtu.be/GdsIwTNhRGw

The @nytimes has been around since 1851 (I Googled it), so getting quoted by them because of the work I’ve been doing with Hots&Cots is pretty cool. Appreciate the chance to speak up about how we feed Soldiers—and why it matters. nytimes.com/2025/03/31/din…

Appreciate a clarification I received from someone involved with the mission: the MREs seen in that photo were part of a 21-day contingency stock, not the primary meal plan. Soldiers are on full per diem and not reliant on MREs for daily nutrition. That’s good to hear—but also, read the room. With ongoing media coverage about BAS, DFAC closures, and food insecurity, it’s easy to see why soldiers and veterans jumped to concern. Context matters, and so does perception. Glad to know these troops are being fed right.

In 2024, we saw the biggest push that I can recall to improve military quality of life. Now? Radio silence. 🏘️ Barracks The FY25 NDAA included $1.2 billion for barracks construction and repairs—because troops deserve more than mold, leaks, and busted HVACs. It also mandated a digital work order system to report maintenance issues. 📶 Free Wi-Fi in Barracks The DoD launched a pilot program to deliver high-speed internet to unaccompanied housing. Finally, some recognition that service members need to stay connected—for school, family, and mental health. 🍽️ Field Feeding Crisis 92Gs (culinary specialists) are still being pulled from DFACs for field missions. Meanwhile, soldiers—including at the border—are stuck eating MREs for days. That’s not a sustainable solution. 🧾 The NDAA was a big win President Biden signed it into law, saying it provides "vital benefits for military personnel and their families.” But since then? Nothing. No updates. No next steps. Look—I don’t expect billion-dollar barracks fixes or full digital systems overnight. But I do expect a response. Even an update saying "We're working on it" would be better than this silence. We can’t let these historic gains stall out.

Review? Bruh.... For? The Army has been honing their fitness standards and although not perfect, has improved immensely. How about a fucking focus on our DFACs? And why our troops live in almost squalor conditions? It's all connected baby. This is fucking squad leader shit. Our squad leaders have TRIED to fix this shit, and are unable. Ask the force. We have tasked the fuck out of our troops that a good fitness regimen is damn near impossible. oh and all the fat troops you see online? Commands are fearful of losing talent AND those individuals are RARELY afforded the opportunity to lose weight. Give or take some cases of course.

God my body is sore from jiu jitsu this week. Cool, let’s go do more jiu jitsu today

The last few weeks I’ve been reading the Star Wars books to my boys before bed. Me: ready to go read Star Wars Newly 4 yr old: no dad that’s not what I had planned for story time. I had planned the witch and the dragon book. Planned? He’s out here planning story time already.
