Boy, Colombia looked onside to me.

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Does furniture count? I’ve got a clothes dresser we use routinely that is from the mid-19th century (1850s? Family heirloom). I’ve got an electric drill and a variety of gardening and other tools from my dad that are from the 1980s. My house is 100 years old.

@anthonymkreis.bsky.social The Football gods heard your Darien joke the other day and asked why can’t England also have a bad Panamanian experience?

There has to be a point where screaming “commie pinko bastard“ and its equivalents just doesn’t move the needle anymore. It’s not 1957. It’s just a variation on libtard at this point and I doubt it persuades anyone. It’s just red meat for the base and self-soothing for Trump.

Terrible play by both Spain and Uruguay in the last 18.

Me an American shouting: “What a terrible first touch!!!” British announce calmly: “ That’s poor innit?”

Happy 100th birthday to Mel Brooks, director of some of the best comedies ever made.

Motown, Bob Seeger, Linda Ronstadt, CSNY, classical, Beatles, 1950s rock, Kingston Trio, Miles Davis, and surprisingly some Isaac Hayes.

The funny thing is shrimp historically was the food of the poor in coastal areas. Lobster, too. I think there were laws capping how many lobsters you could feed your servants a week.

I’ll take it. At least I hit the right country on the last one. www.maptap.gg June 26 100🎯 99🎯 100🎯 100🎯 94🏅 Final score: 981

Yeesh. Go in the net.

Aaronson has to finish that.

That was nice!

Really sloppy defending

Great start for the Americans!

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

Illinois expanded vote-by-mail because we believe voting should be easier, not harder. Now, Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General is threatening to withhold mail ballots unless states turn over voter rolls. That's not election security. It’s voter suppression.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

A bit surprised to not see more here on the Venezuelan quakes this morning.

I’m going to enjoy Europeans discovering the house of horrors the Azteca is for visiting teams.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has forced Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, the top U.S. Army commander in Europe, to retire, a blow to those who saw him as a key leader of the military’s push to adapt to a future battlefield dominated by drones and artificial intelligence, defense officials said.

They're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would. Under standing water, the orange peel texture is a perfect scaffolding for algae, bacteria, and general bio scum

Dem primaries in NYC show that criticism of the Israeli government, including Benjamin Netanyahu, does not equal Antisemitism, no matter how hard the right tries to conflate the two. Many Jewish residents of NYC are opposed to the Israeli government’s actions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade. The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing). The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open. Here's the story:

Me opening up a rejection email from a journal editor.

Hit on the first major league pitch Malgeri ever sees!

Just bad luck for the Tigers there.

The world’s first trillionaire took away our Ebola response capacity, gave us screwworms, hollowed out our government so he could pay less taxes, and condemned millions of the world’s most vulnerable people to death.

My time as dept. chair ends at the end of the month. This means my teaching load goes back up to a 3/3. That would normally be absolutely fine, but it means I need to teach American Foreign Policy again which means I need to teach coherently and calmly about Trump’s foreign policy.

And now mom says ice cream isn’t dinner. What’s going on? What does this mean? Dinner is food and last time I checked, ice cream is food. So what’s this really all about? The answer is simple: power

Primary Day in New York. If you are a public employee with a pension vote in the comptroller’s race like your retirement depends upon it … because it does.

A happy International Women in Engineering Day to my wife and all others who practice. She’s a super smart environmental engineer involved in renewable energy projects but has also worked on drinking and waste water (city and state agencies) and on Port Authority construction projects.

Keir Starmer Resigns Amid ‘Not Being Very Good Prime Minister’ Scandal

I was rooting for Cspe Verde but I think it was a clean slide tackle. He got the ball first. that may be the old fullback in me.

@foxsoccer.bsky.social The last e in Cape Verde is silent. It’s “Cape Verd“. Please tell your announcers.

I think Trump could Have secured better terms if he had simply declared victory and went home.

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

Happy Father's Day 🖤

I’m saying this as someone who’s in a 90% teaching position. Teaching vs. research is a false choice. Robust public funding of higher ed that existed without controversy until Reagan is the answer. The answer to “solving” whatever “problems” exist in higher ed is literally “throw money at it.”

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

Ecuador shouldn‘t have ordered Room service.

Brits and Americans at least have the same term for halftime.

The ridiculous Fox News ad every halftime isn’t making me love watching the World Cup.

First consecutive USMNT wins at the WC since the first one in 1930.

Nice win. Guaranteed to advance. Now win the group and no players with a second yellow.
