This is definitely the worst thing about living in Iowa. No professional sports, but "in the market" for at least 4-5 other professional teams. Miss out on games of all kinds.
My dad is 75 and lives in Iowa. He got the MLB Extra Innings package to watch the Tigers again this year - something he plans his whole day around. Tonight, Detroit (664 miles from his house) hosted Milwaukee (360 miles from his house). Couldn't watch. Blacked out. (1/2)

It’s nights like tonight that I wish I still lived in Iowa City! Go Hawks!

Listening to @JonAcuff ‘s book, Soundtracks. I’m pumped to come up with my own list of soundtracks. Why do I already know that many will come from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings? “I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish none of this had happened.” - Frodo (or me!)

The Federal government computers & software are in such bad shape that they often cannot verify that payments are not fraud, waste or abuse! That’s why the government can’t pass basic audits. They often LITERALLY don’t know where your tax dollars went. It’s insane. My preferred title in the new administration is Volunteer IT Consultant. Need to fix the IT infrastructure in order to make government work. This is a grind & hardly glorious, but we can’t make government efficient & fix the deficit if the computers don’t work.

Kids are making $25K/month with digital products. But most people don't know how. So I built 170 Digital Product ChatGPT prompts to help you make money too. Normally $39, but next 24 hrs, it's FREE! To get it: 1. Follow me (so I can DM you) 2. RT this tweet 3. Reply "SEND"

I gratefully acknowledge the First Lady’s sentiments, but a day at the White House should belong solely to the champion, LSU and Coach Mulkey.  We would welcome the First Lady and President to come to Iowa’s “House” – Carver Hawkeye Arena — any time!

A bunch of apps promise to detect ChatGPT. That's great! But before you go uploading student assignments to them, here are a few questions to ask yourself...

A block of House Republicans should get together with Democrats to pick a speaker to run a coalition government, which will moderate the House and marginalize the extremists.

Tonight I was reviewing my list of iOS apps purchased or downloaded over the years. It’s sad to see the subscription-ification of everything. Apps I once purchased (sometimes for lots of money) now all want monthly subscriptions.
