Welcome to the United States. Our President is a 34x convicted felon, and our First Lady is an eastern European hooker. Their best friends were the most notorious child rapists in modern history. Their offspring steal from charities and launder money via crypto scams. He is starving the poorest among us while taking bribes out in the open. The Supreme Court that he bought says he can't be tried for any crimes. He bulldozed a third of the White House down to rubble without permission.

Our stupidly large couch fit neither down the staircase nor out the front door, so the only way to get it into the basement was over the deck with a little help from my friends. An outrageous plan, executed flawlessly. Big thanks to Ryan and Dan.
Leaning at an angle on a ladder propped up against the back deck of a brown townhouse, an outrageously large grey couch still wrapped in the yellow/black/red ratchet straps that were just used to lower it down from the deck above.

Last time this shit happened was against Seattle, too.

Thanks to @stevenhyden.bsky.social, I don’t have to pay attention to the Commanders’ latest prime-time disappointment.

D’Angelo is dead. Just 51 years old. Cancer…

In his honor, I will play a little bit of “Voodoo” for my students.

This will be me for the next day or so, gazing lovingly at the fantasy football rosters I just drafted, absolutely certain of the championships I’ll be winning in December. This is the best time of year.

Teachers report next Monday, but I couldn’t wait to do a little early decorating.

7-18-2025 Name: henry HT: 31 in (>99%) WT: 23 lb 4 oz (91%) HC: 18¾ in (97%) NINE MONTHS 120 BPM DEVELOPMENT • Your baby may begin to say such things as "Dada", "Mama" in a non-specific way. • Night waking is common at this age, but your child is old enough to be sleeping though the night without a feeding. • It is best if your child learns to fall asleep in the crib on his own. This will help prevent sleeping problems later on. There should never be ay pillows, blankets or bumper pads in the crib. • Children may have stranger anxiety and separation anxiety at this age. • Your baby may begin to "cruise" - walk around things holding onto furniture. They may practice going away from you, rounding a corner, only to return to you quickly. • Your baby may now uncover a toy which she sees hidden. It is no longer "out of sight, out of mind". Your infant may have special toys which she wants to keep with her, especially at bedtime (Security objects). • A pincer grasp begins to develop. DIET • Teach your child to use a cup. The best way to make the switch is to put water in the cup and give with meals. • Continue breast milk or formula until at least 12 months of age. Continue Vitamin D supplement of 400 IU. Do not give juice. • Your child will be on about three meals a day now, with snacks. Snacks should be nutritious and with no added sugar. • Children love finger foods such as: bits of banana, avocado, and other fruits. Avoid raisins, popcorn, peanuts, raw carrots, uncut hot dogs, uncut grapes or other foods that your child may choke on. Avoid honey until 1 year of age. • Your baby will be eating more table foods and less baby food. Please review "Advancing Baby's Diet" in our green book for further

Fuck this court. (All but 3 of ‘em.)
One Court, Two Standards A comparison of how the Supreme Court used its emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against two administrations. Injunction Left in Place Injunction Lifted by SCOTUS Biden Administration Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. Trump Administration Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 10% of injunctions/TROs lifted (2 of 21) 77% of injunctions/TROs lifted (66 of 86) The Takeaway Using its "shadow docket," the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 10% of those against the Biden administration.

My daughter and I were lucky to have this close encounter with a hummingbird moth last Saturday. The world is terrible now—mostly because people are stupid and greedy—but there is still magical shit all around us.

[screenshot of section of article, one excerpt is highlighted] discussion of all of this so bizarre. You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur. Donald Trump has assumed dictatorial control over the nation's law enforcement. [highlighted section begins] The Justice Department, the police, ICE agents, and the National Guard apparently answer to him, not to the people or the Constitution. He has neutered Congress by effectively taking control of the power of the purse. And, most relevant in Iran's case, he is actively and openly turning the U.S. military into his personal army, for use as he sees fit, including as a tool of domestic oppression. Whatever action he does or doesn't take in Iran will likely be in furtherance of these goals. [highlighted section ends] When he celebrates the bombing of Iran, he will be celebrating himself and his rule. The president ordered a military parade to honor his birthday. Imagine what he will do when he proclaims military success in Iran. The president is working to instill in our nation's soldiers a devotion to him and him alone. Imagine how that relationship will blossom if he orders what he will portray as a successful military mission.

A little over a week has passed since the last day of school, and I’m still riding the high of this sweet note from one of my super-talented freshmen honors students.
Dear Mr. Temple, Oh my golly gosh goodness! This year has gone by in a whirl. I cant even begin to describe how much I loved being in your class. You are such a gencine, kind, caring person, and it truly makes such a difference. Thank you for being one of my biggest cheerleaders since day one, it has truly meant the world to me. A theme my friends and I have noticed with you is that we have definitely learned things from the curriculum, but we learned so much more how to become better people. It your ever feel like you are not doing well or not doing enough, remember me, Olivia, Sidney, and Mae and know how much good you are doing. Have the best summer with your beautiful family! Best wishes,

I just saw the weirdest comment(s) on a video of an Oscars-record 12-minute standing ovation given to Charlie Chaplin before he received his 1972 Honorary Academy Award. Others commented that he was a pedophile, and this random guy replied thusly in defense…
Random internet commenter, responding to another comment accusing Charlie Chaplin of having been a pedophile: “The definition of that word requires a prepubescent child. You've just said that wasn't the case.” The same random internet commenter, responding to another comment accusing Charlie Chaplin of having been a pedophile: “That word requires the girl or boy be prepubescent.”

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm, but the harm [that they cause] does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.” - TS Eliot, The Cocktail Party
