Someone brought a dog to fireworks. . . . 😳 Wtf?!? The poor thing was not coping well. 😕

@stevescully.bsky.social On David Urban's comments on why only 29% of Ds feel proud of the US. If Urban's measuring stick is that the US is better than Yemen, bless his heart. I can't believe someone so smart could be that clueless. In a convo with a D I'm sure he'd get tired of saying, yeah but...

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

This is such great news! They are truly heroic.

Man! I spent COUNTLESS hours at this game! I'd completely forgotten about it. Good times. 😊

More than 680 people have gotten sick since Urah's first outbreak began June 20, 2025 🤒 Unlike measles outbreaks in Texas, South Carolina and Arizona, the spread in Utah has been tough to contain to one region — infecting undervaccinated communities in nearly every county apnews.com/article/meas...

@stevescully.bsky.social this segment with Peter Maer is so interesting! Thanks for having him on.

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

Watching the Lawrence Welk Show in 2026 is flat out trippy. 😛

This is precisely how Rush got their break in America: youtu.be/ZCsoylxQw3c?...

Random trivia: the Talking Heads never had a #1 song. In fact, they only had one song crack the top 10 (Burning Down the House went to #9). Arguably their signature song "Once in a Lifetime" didn't even crack the top 100. 😮 I'm flummoxed. . . .

I didn't imagine it could look THIS bad. . . . If these are, indeed, the details of the MOU between the US and Iran, it looks like Trump surrendered *TO* Iran. 😬 Details of US-Iran deal revealed in 12-point plan — timeline for US withdrawal, $300B fund, Hormuz passage share.google/numnRc5WagRL...

I had a hotdog at Costco for the first time in my life Saturday. Let me just say: It is NOT overhyped. So f'ing good! That hotdog AND a Diet Coke (free refills!) for $1.50?!? As David Letterman said, "I'll take all of that you got!" 😋

She's also indifferent to the source that satisfies her taste for blood 🩸

Yes!! Angie and I will be on the Stories From the States podcast tomorrow. Give it a listen!

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

There's a *deal* with Iran, eh? Really?

"Trump hates the troops… From calling the troops who died 'suckers and losers,' to mocking John McCain's five years as a POW, to attacking the Gold Star Khan family… He has never missed a chance to dishonor the people he was never brave enough to stand beside." www.thedailybeast.com/veterans-bla...

Did I just happen upon the perfect shirt for @bubblesvampire.bsky.social ? 🤔

My boy’s band, Mentally Stable, played a pretty famous local dive bar (Nobby’s) last night here in St. Augustine, Fl. That’s him on bass. 😊😊😊 @bubblesvampire.bsky.social

The brothers are just fine today. 😊

It doesn't get much more fucked up than this. . . .

Some friends bet Ben Folds he couldn't write a song with a one-word chorus. This was his effort: music.youtube.com/watch?v=-oLk...

Monastery ruins in the snow https://www.wikiart.org/en/caspar-david-friedrich/monastery-ruins-in-the-snow

I live not too far away from the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. I've always thought the logo of this place looked like an orange juicer. 🤷‍♂️

I guess he's finally saying the quiet thing out loud... I bet if Iran promised to fund his stupid vanity ballroom they could get whatever kind of deal they wanted. 😐

I see... And the Epstein files are in the UFO reports? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

@americanair.bsky.social a little more than 3 hours on the tarmac in Charlotte... Left the gate to park on the tarmac, returned to the gate but wouldn't let people leave and come back, the app told us we'd have a new plane, the pilot said stay on the plane... ZERO communication. Not cool, American

Looks like the president is pre-ordering tacos... Going into the midterms there won't be any tariff raising. 🤡

Recently, the New York Times published a list of the 30 top living songwriters. Bob, Dylan came in at number 24. Do you know how ridiculous it is when I tell someone, "hey, I'm listening to the 24th best living songwriter at the moment!" Just know we mock them remorselessly for such stupidity. 🙄

Weird bookends but on this day: 1789 - Louis XVI convenes the Estates-General to address France's critical financial situation. 1821 - the most infamous child of the French Revolution, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte dies in exile on St. Helena in the South Pacific.

OTD, 1970 - Kent State Massacre. National Guard troops fired on anti-Vietnam war protesters killing 4 & wounding 9 at Kent State University in Kent, OH. Protests erupted at nearly 500 college campuses & five days after the shootings 100,000 protesters descended on Washington DC.

Probably a bit didactic here but in Scotland (& Canada) it's "whisky." Ireland & the US it's "whiskey." Does the "e" matter? It often differentiates production methods. The Irish, for example, use triple distillation while the Scots use double distillation. One more example of Trump's ignorance. 🤡

Democratic House campaign teams are circulating this image. This is a strategy a party employs when a President's poll numbers are sliding

looking forward to Oh No The National Debt becoming the single most pressing issue for the national media the second a Democrat takes office again, as is tradition

Current status.

I'm at an account doing open enrollment and Olivia Newton-Johns "Xanadu" came over the sound system. There's a blast from the past!

Let’s not forget the finer point - although other presidents have cost the taxpayers money to golf, Trump, by playing, sleeping, dining, entertaining at his own personally owned clubs, he actually keeps, banks, pockets all of these millions of dollars.

I'm never alone for long... This is Dumas and he's reaching out his paw in an affectionate way for some caresses. 😛 He and his brother Bessières were made possible through a kind donation from @adamreizner.bsky.social 😊

@stevescully.bsky.social Maybe it's wrong... But I still delight at Obama's skewering of Trump at the WHCA Dinner. 😛
