Hello, I am a TV weatherman in Punxsutawney, PA, and every morning at exactly 6 am my alarm clock blares out “I’ve Got You Babe.” And now the rest of the world is stuck in this endless loop as well.

I hope Spain's goalie brought a book.

Did we really need a halftime show?

Our neighbors put up an Argentina flag, so I guess that's who we're rooting for.

I'd rather be watching from a pub, but the seating is better at home.

America, I love you. And, someday, THIS will be a long time ago...

Has the World Cup gotten you hooked on soccer? Here's a cool new history book about the interplay of politics and soccer during the Cold War. My review is in the Washington Independent Review of Books @wirobooks.bsky.social -->>>> www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/c...

Here we are, post happy hour, floating in our above-ground pool and listening to "The Real Slim Shady," yet the haters insist the American Dream is somehow unachievable...

This is election interference.

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

It's true before 1995 they were just called "PJ Harvey fans"

These lies are like their father that begets them, gross as a mountain, open, palpable.

Every lost election is “rigged.” Every embarrassing fact is “fake news.” Every inconvenient truth is a “hoax.” Notice a pattern? It only kicks in the moment they lose. Reality doesn’t bend to protect anyone’s ego. Elections are safe and secure. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.

That didn't go well.

Yep.

No. This isn't an accomplishment. If you haven't taken a sick day in 50 years, you've been some combo of: -incredibly lucky (never incapacitated or hospitalized) -incredibly reckless (jeopardizing your health when you should rest) -incredibly inconsiderate (you've absolutely gotten colleagues sick)
