#AEW Toni Storm had more ring time with Rousey than Carano did.

For the same reason, I never watch anyone review Amtrak sleeper cars or first class ever. The whole thing about Amtrak is getting you a reasonable distance with far less hassle and cost than flying. Same cost & time as driving without driving or hotel should be the goal. That's what Amtrak is for.

Think we're settling down again, but the storm's supposed to hit one or two more times tonite. Someone told me you can mix Shanky's Whip with anything, so I'm going to spend a short while testing that theory.

time to batten down the hatches again

What do rain showers bring? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2k1...

Did Melania find the funniest way to outdo Erika Kirk? Time will tell.

If you're going to do one of these for rural Nebraska, "All politicians are corrupt and they're career politicians so nothing will ever change. I vote for the incumbent every time," is a must-include.

We're getting constant thunder and absolutely no rain, which means hail is probably coming this direction. Was outside moving sprinklers for about five minutes and there were no booms or streaks of lightning, just a constant roll of thunder from the west...might miss us, but it looks ominous.

Ran a new route today for the first time, and I could get used to it. 88 miles for 165 mailboxes, took 4.25 hrs. We get paid (reimbursed, technically) ~$1/mile for gas and maintenance, but it functionally adds $15/hr on this route, accounting for gas (today would probably be ~$20). I'll take that.

Be honest. How much sugar do you put in your Grape Nuts: None A dusting A few spoonfuls A healthy amount I add a little milk to my Grape Nuts and sugar

It's a Yeehaw, Fuck the Law Summer An alt-country banger? This song fucks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTZa...

Cherry slush with nerds to reward myself for voting? Yeah, sure.

For real, y'all. This rips: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWE-...

I voted my non-partisan ballot today, which had three elections. Voted against the incumbent Trumper state senator. Voted against the incumbent state board of education book banner. I didn't look into the local school board much, but only used one of two votes, for one who won't ban books.

I might have accidentally made like three brunches worth of food.

Just remembered I bought some black cherry sodas last nite, going to sit on the porch and enjoy the afternoon proper.

We've got bacon and chorizo. We have country fried potatoes. We have cheese and salsa. We have honey butter biscuits and tortillas. Breakfast burrito or quesadilla? Sure, coming right up. Chorizo and cheese biscuit sammich? Absolutely. I did pretty good today, ngl.

Late nite grocery run for ice cream and brunch stuff

I don't like wrestling promotions counter-programming, but this was from the free show.

Terrible sandtrap etiquette in this Allin-Pac title match.

Added a tablespoon of Buldak hot sauce to some Buldak yakisoba because I thought it was too mild the first time and...that was too much. Still good as hell, but my tongue and stomach still have the spicy tingles nearly an hour later.

I hope JK moves because of this and it happens again (and again, and again). Trans JK's region (district? Insert proper political area word here) for the rest of her miserable life.

Working tomorrow for my regular carrier, who has an alcohol class as part of her DUI sentencing. Part of me thinks she'll intentionally skip it so she can have another Saturday off before sentencing. But that might be cutting it too close, and maybe I'll be "out of town." We are not having fun.

Firing the investigator isn't enough. This is far worse than doing nothing.

Having Brennan run a West Marches campaign has paid off in dividends for Critical Role. It's a masterpiece that is genuinely on the level of a Game of Thrones-style epic w/ maximum treachery. It could be GoT successful if a major production house dared to make something this ambitious.

Did pick up that Buldak-Panda Express sweet and sour chicken today. It was good! Not really sour at all, more sweet and spicy, which is much better in my book. Overall, it was probably the spiciest thing you'll find at a chain fast food spot. But they did hold back, which I think is probably smart.

This Darby title run is going to be both short and one of the most memorable we've seen.

Tonite's music trivia answer was Olivia Rodrigo - Drop Dead (2026). Of the 45 people doing trivia, one person knew it. It was me. I was publicly called gay (positive? I'll say positive) for my efforts.

The same folks that think they could kill a bobcat with their bare hands think they'd lose a fight with the president.

In other random Buldak news, they have a collaboration with Panda Express that I will try tomorrow. I normally pass on Panda for local options, but I am a well-known sucker for limited time only gimmick fare.

New (to me) Buldak day, and it's yakisoba. The original is still the best, but this one might be my favorite of the rest. A milder heat, umami bomb. Added a little teriyaki and bacon crumbles to taste, and I think this is a solid alternative that will find its way back into my struggle schedule.

Been feeling this weight more often than not lately. Not all (really) good songs are happy songs. This one resonates with today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSuZ...

My tagline was You Ghouls, but the logo must have been too large to include it.

It's about to get weather-y 'round these parts. Slight chance of storms followed by chance of storms followed by chance of rain until 7am. Wind gusts to 30mph. I might find myself standing on a porch looking at the sky in a bit. Good day for it.

A fun little secret on a breezy, beautiful afternoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRHQ...

do people who use protein supplements know about peanut butter toast

wait

If Rudy goes, so does my barrel-strength rye. Right down my gullet.

Week 1 of mom's shoulder surgery & recovery has concluded and she is Not Happy about anything. She convinced herself pre-surgery that she'd be fine in a few days, when everyone said she wouldn't be. She isn't.

Nice finish for the Avs. Could have done with a little more defensive game, but a win's a win.

I have not seen any info about this Bluesky dating thing, only people talking about it. That said, I will instead leave my romantic future to fate, which is not real.

Just had a lower back/hip pop that nearly put me to sleep upon release. If someone could bottle that feeling of sweet relief, there would be a market for it.

You can do this to me when I'm dead. I won't mind. But then you must fire my ashes out of the cannon on the pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium. Preferably after a Baker Mayfield touchdown scramble.

Great day to drive around aimlessly, 69 degrees with a breeze.

They tell me it's a weekend but it sure don't feel like one. I don't like that.

Full disclosure, I am afraid to watch the Nuggs tonite. Whenever I watch them play the TWolves, they stop playing basketball and it turns into this brawl-y, try to draw foul, sloppy mess.

Whoopsie the historical purrmachine

A lot of good folks have died the past few years. The list of awful people dying seems to be few and far between. That feels wrong, like we're losing. The truth is the world is full of great people who have impacted our lives and just a few assholes who ruin it. Focus on the good folks, when able.

I prefer lamb, but consider this graphic to be a very important part of culinary history.

Pretty clear the strategy for #AEWDynamite is to just throw championship bangers every week until the next PPV and I'm here for it.
