I can relate a bit to this Dad ad by our local Republican candidate for Congress here in Omaha because I am also a dad of two girls and a female dog who has watched the Notebook more than once. youtube.com/watch?v=JDAPIWmP…

Another sign I’m getting old I guess. When I was in high school Whopper Wednesday meant 99-cent burgers that we would grab for lunch. We used to hit all the 99-cent lunch specials like taco Tuesday. Now I just got an ad for a $3.98 Whopper Wednesday.

The past and future of @UnionPacific met today when the historic Big Boy (@UP_Steam) steam locomotive lined up next to a new @WabtecCorp FLXDrive Switcher battery-powered locomotive. The new battery-powered unit is scheduled to be delivered to UP later this year.

Today, @SecDuffy faced tough questions in Congress about his corporate-sponsored Great American Road Trip. But he made no apologies for encouraging people to take a road trip to celebrate America's 250th birthday and make memories with family. youtube.com/watch?v=e4wHOJeb…

If you need a break from the hard news I usually post, take a minute to enjoy my daughter’s eighth grade choir performing @Lauren_Daigle’s You Say. The director gave them a choice and they overwhelmingly picked this song for their final concert: youtu.be/1EeKpFnb1HA?si=iX2X…

Ever since Berkshire Hathaway acquired Jazwares the Squishmallow versions of the company’s top executives have been a crowd favorite at the annual meetings. Here’s this year’s edition of Warren and Charlie joined by the new Greg Abel toy.

Here’s Warren Buffett sitting down with @CNBC’s @BeckyQuick at the Berkshire meeting to talk about what it’s like watching from the audience this year. He also discussed life and investing and AI risks. youtu.be/QQOWQcnNmr0?si=H-DO…
