It was so nice being away from doomscrolling that I haven’t readded this (or the three other news/socials apps I deleted) in the 24 hours I’ve been back, but I had to see everyone’s reactions to that SNF.

We’re flying out to Maui this morning, and I am about to delete this app for while we’re there. Ostriching, maybe, but I’m not spending time in paradise thinking about all these grotesqueries. See you in a week. Go Brewers. 🤙

Noem is celebrated by the NYT for looking like that Lioness lady

ATX ain’t been weird for a minute but I still like going down there.

This is it

Playing at @texastheatre.bsky.social while, ironically/“unfortunately” we’re going to be in Hawai’i.

bro lookin like he ordered the plate of brains for dinner

Robert…no…

Why the heck do CEOs wear awful non-descript suits to their own teams’ games? Come on, at least put on the tracksuit.

My father called him “Cocaine Mollie” until the day he died. Show the man some respect, you asshole/dad!

Big Brew Crew win with the Phils off and the Cubbies losing.

See ya dipshit

I wrote about Canelo versus Crawford, prize fighting, and how its ruthlessness is an inextricable part of this country. www.espn.com/boxing/story...

Elton John voice: It seems to me / that you lived your life/ like a fuckin piece of shit

Guerilla marketing getting out of hand at Austin Bergstrom

One of the smaller of the many things I hate about this is that now people will assume my regular normal glasses are merely being used to creep on them. Fuck all this shit straight to hell.

Meanwhile Hakeem Jeffries is in a grocery store logging the price of pumpkin pie filling to cite in his next speech

So what have we got instead of Kimmel tonight here in Austin…Celebrity Family Feud! Oh, they’ll find something about Steve Harvey they don’t like.

Cool, cool, left Houston with the dub and two season-ending injuries to key starters.

I gotta finish this new season of King of the Hill before I cancel my Disney bundle. Just another couple days please! I’m a real profile in courage!

This is good, AFM’s is good, Kimmel’s union (*COUGH COUGH*) needs to speak up like now, but anybody calling for a general strike by the entertainment unions both doesn’t know how strikes called by unions work, nor how “Hollywood” works.

Anyway, props to the Milwaukee Brewers for holding up the failing roof of my sanity with a 2x4

I guess it was a couple decades ago now, but this is the same company that preempted PRIME TIME programming to Swift Boat John Kerry in 2004. Sinclair has been shit.

The vibe is getting stronger:

Wild that the Right reacts to their upset about being called Nazis by acting like a bunch of Nazis.

A very close friend of mine had a mild heart attack yesterday. He’s still at the hospital at Northwestern, getting out today. Another good pal had one last year. Guys in their late 40s. Better shape than me. I’ve lived quite unhealthily for several years now, but I need to get it together again.

The last picture is fantastic (and endearing). Good luck lads.

It reminds me of when George Zimmerman claimed Trayvon Martin said “You got me…” as his dying words after he murdered him.

The amazing thing about Trump is that he says right into the camera on the White House lawn while stone cold sober the sort of stuff Nixon would only scream in solitude at the White House fireplace after a bottle and a half of whiskey.

This is like my sister talking to my nine-year-old niece. “Pay attention!” “Get off the iPad!”

Stopped in a li'l Russky grocery store and the owner had a mandolin behind the counter. I asked him to play it and he gladly obliged for a couple minutes. It was such a goddamned charming moment that even my kid said "I love when life has little surprises."

Me, at a roadside Holiday Inn Express after being on a Taylor Sheridan project all day.

How it feels to turn your phone off

I met Redford on the set of Old Man and the Gun while on the job, and he pushed himself up all the way out of a very low-slung lawn chair to shake my hand. I was like, buddy, you can stay seated for the likes of me.

Whoa, this Paul Newman-Robert Redford photo sure reminded me of something else.

I crisscrossed rural central Texas today and I would venture to guess that 2/3 of the flags I saw at private residences and businesses were at half-mast, along with one sheriff department (Hamilton County). But no, you don’t “have to hand it to” this guy for not lowering his.

Hey Hey Tampa Bay

That felt like a “let them score” situation anyway.

Come ON @support.bsky.team

Greg Abbott is threatening Texas teachers for sharing opinions on their personal social media. “Now is the time to speak up & defend the rights of all Texans to exercise their constitutional right to have an opinion," said Zeph Capo, @texasaft.org president. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

One thing I wish all Democrats knew is that we don't expect you to be fearless. We expect you to be brave. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid and moving ahead anyway. If you find that you are neither, then it is time to step aside. There are people who can do this job ably.

I’ve got a permanent headache these days that I don’t think even the Brewers winning the World Series would cure.

I wasn’t expecting to hear Jamie Lee Curtis cry for Charlie Kirk (Crisp, as she called him) on Maron today. 

Rice is one of those dudes who makes US 75, which myself and my loved ones have to ride on all the time, consistently into a Mad Max highway, and he literally ran away from damn-near killing multiple people. Mr. Swift can pound sand along with Rice.

Sad to say they’re all in Guantanamo now.

Genuinely surprised we still have one.

If you have a WaPo sub, you shouldn’t by Noon.
