Sweet Lorraine (my Hyundai Elantra hybrid) just leveled up to 16k. She’s a lovely ride averaging 51 mpg since Day One. I want her to last forever!

If ever it were blatantly obvious that the conservative members of SCOTUS are completely beholden to a whining Trump, it’s now. People will go hungry and there’s ZERO reason for it.

on this day in 1930, writer Sinclair Lewis becomes first American to win Nobel Prize in Lit.
“Call me a socialist or any blame thing you want to, as long as you grab hold of the other end of the cross-cut saw with me and help slash the big logs of Poverty and Intolerance to pieces.”

The only good part of that is that Will Smith is a former Louisville Cardinal. Otherwise…dammit!

My wife doesn’t watch a lot of sports, but she’s INTO this Game 7. I thought she was gonna come out of her chair during the 3rd inning bench-clearing. She’s having a blast. #GoBluejays #OCanada 🇨🇦

However, it seems that #Louisville defense stayed on the plane. VATech running all over them. Hokies lead 16-7 in the 2nd qtr.

Isaac Brown for #Louisville is just magical when he passes the line of scrimmage. It’s like he has jet shoes. He’s got Hermes (the god) ability when he runs. Just flying down the field.
Louisville up VATech, 7-0.

Lookit…Buzz Aldrin is still alive, right?! Can’t we just get him to punch Kim Kardashian in the face, rather than rehash the tired moon landing conspiracy?!

Heard a Great Horned Owl in the backyard just now. Was not expecting that, but the sound was unmistakable. I’m hoping it’ll stick around until it gets a little lighter, maybe I can catch a glimpse. #birds 🪶

Man…the stoopid is magnified in terrifying proportions today. And, while I understand that ‘impostor syndrome’ has been completely obliterated at this point, I’m still on guard about appearing as one of the many dolts I read about/encounter on a daily basis. Truly the dumbest people everywhere!

I watched this and chuckled a little, out loud, which shows that, while my optimism has waned considerably in 2025, my hope continues. Or, at least, that’s what I’d like to believe.

Well, Louisville’s offense picking up the early slack from the defense. The slumbering giant seems to be awake now. Isaac Brown is a monster. #GoCards

Thrilled that Joe Davis is leading the broadcast for the #WorldSeries Quality voice, quality broadcasting. I might actually keep the sound up for a change.

This is all just a relatively whiter shade of birtherism. I mean, not that 2/3 of SCOTUS hasn’t already shredded the Constitution, but the 14th Amendment is less vague than the 2d.
Briefly, for word limit: ‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States…are citizens of the United States…’

Once again, Russ Coleman is a goddamn ghoul and should not be Kentucky's Attorney General, since he clearly has no respect whatsoever for law, and also has no respect for any of his state's constituents, nor has any respect for common fucking sense and a shared reality. I hate this guy so much.
INBOX: Per the Tennessee AG's office, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman signed on to an amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case, arguing the 14th Amendment does not provide automatic citizenship to everyone born in the U.S.

Just endured a story from a co-worker.
She prefaced it by saying it was funny. (It was not.) She went on for several minutes relaying the story in various ways, but not providing any new information (Still not funny.)

At this point, you have to wonder why Mike Johnson continues to get up in front of cameras.
He clearly has no interest in doing his job (convening the House, swearing in Representatives, etc.) and when he is on camera he never knows anything about anything he’s asked.
I mean, why even bother?!
