Cape Verde has been amazing in this tournament! That last save was beautiful!

Great match! Congratulations to Egypt on a fine victory! Condolences to the Aussies. You played well, and we enthusiasts here in the US love you and your traveling fanbase!

When I said I thought the Lakers needed a rehaul... These Lakers were not the Lakers I ordered. Does anyone know #Temu's return policies?

I congratulate Portugal. Even though I hate VAR, the WC has been an unending source of joy in our house!

VAR is crapola.

Croatia scores!

If he were to actually drop dead of the heat during his speech, that'd be AAA prime video entertainment right there. THEN, I would celebrate the 4th. Like you wouldn't believe.

Just heard a wonderful term for conservative MAGA women: Klanned Karenhood. *chef's kiss*

Okay, I'll cop to it, I was already thinking of Rome when this popped onto my feed. But, still pretty cool! www.euronews.com/culture/2026...

True.

A gentle reminder that a few well-placed water stations in your yard during heat like this can be a lifesaver for the small animals we share our spaces with. Be kind and leave some out for them in a shaded area.

It's amazing that the United States looked at the movie IDIOCRACY & didn't see it as a cautionary tale. Nope...we saw that movie and went,"blueprint!" And somehow, we managed to be even stupider than the example. Mainly because we included our traditional American bigotry in the execution of it.

I've always preferred Mount Olive pickles. And, now I love them even more after they yanked their support for Pumpkinhead's Nuremberg rally.

To me, this weekend is no cause for celebration. Seriously... F--k the fourth of July this year. Nice to have three-day weekend though.

It was only in my 40s or 50s that I realized that "Ore-Ida" meant Oregon and Idaho. Yeah... That "gifted" assessment from my childhood seems more like bullshit every single day.

A happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends. Much love to you all!

The name "Donald" is becoming the "Adolf" of the twenty-first century. If someone has it, you know what kind of "upbringing" they had, and what kind of people they come from.

In all honesty, I think I would have been better off had I been born Australian. It'd be a better cultural fit for me than the US. Just an observation.

It's not often that I actually manage the perfect hash browns. But tonight, the gods smile on me:

I grew up in the deep south... However, the only areas where I will freely and openly concede and embrace my "southerness," are in my unmatched affinity for deep fried food and the movie,"Smokey &The Bandit." Which, as far as I'm concerned is the important part of the culture. Beer. Trans Am. Joy.

I love how they call it "fruit cocktail" and there's no tequila, vodka, or rum anywhere near it. That's just false advertising.

"You won't associate with anyone who voted for him. So, you're the problem." No... It's just that when I know someone/thing is a piece of sh-t, I don't need to keep smelling it to know I don't want it near me. The. More. You. Know.

Can I just say that whilst I'm not the target audience for Supergirl due to the fact that I'm just not into comic book movies that much, the chodes blaming Milly Alcock are BS. She's a great actress and doesn't deserve the ire being thrown her way. RE: Every review, SHE isn't the problem.

Wait... Is he farting off and sticking us with Bronnie? #LeBron

If you make the right people's blood boil with abject rage... We can be friends.

From what I could see there were definitely fives of people at the America 250 fair, & I applaud it on its success in exemplifying exactly where we are as a country at this point in our history. Melted ice cream. Broken Ferris wheel. MAGA "Uncle Sam" busted wanking in public to an acrobatic act. 🙄

The fact that the Jefferson Airplane of "White Rabbit" fame morphed into the Starship of "We Built This City" is all you need to know about the intransigence, fragility, & tragedy that is the march of time on anything of worth. There's not enough LSD in the world to make "We Built This City" good.

There's a part of me that wants to learn how to make very exceptional pierogi, for one reason alone. I want to start a second pierogi stand on Martha's Vineyard that'll deny pierogi to that scumquat Alan Dershowitz. #NoPierogiForFascists #NoPierogiForDershowitz #NoMeansNoPierogiForAlan

Well, now I gotta go find some "montage" songs. open.substack.com/pub/earcandy...

Presented as evidence that Napoleon's choice of a bicorn hat rather than a derby or bowler was probably wise:

My excitement for the 250th celebration is limited to wanting to try all the 18th century beers and ales that have been brewed for the occasion. It really just begins and ends with the booze, for me. I'm hoping to drink enough to forget I live in this country.

That French guy with the pink guitar who sings to animals is literally one of the only things keeping my faith that humanity is better than what we are seeing all over the world, intact.

We have YouTube TV, and our program guide shows us our most watched channels first... Watching CBS' presence on it tumble to practical non-existence has been extremely gratifying. And I still haven't eaten anything by Goya. When I despise someone/thing... I'm committed to it.

It'd probably be a cooler pic if you didn't know that what I was singing and playing was the WKRP in Cincinnati theme. I'm kind of a dork. In case you were wondering. #RedWigglers #TheCadillacofWorms #FerrymanFuneralHomes #TheManWithThePlotTheManWithThePlan

This is a dirt cheap "Esteban"guitar from the late 90s/early 00s known simply as "Guitar" in our home. It's an utter piece of crap. Heavy bass tones, flimsy construction, high action. It is also one of my favorite guitars and has traveled all over the world with me. It was a gift. And I love it.

It has become obvious that I require a 5 course baroque guitar. Okay, "require" may be a stretch. But... I really, really want one.

I feel a little guilty rooting against Portugal as hard as I do. But, man I really dislike Cristiano Ronaldo.

I guess the reason I'm not fond of the comic-book/superhero genre is the fact that I believe it makes people psychologically afraid to actually fight for their rights themselves. No caped freak is coming to save you. Pick up a 2x4 and get ready to whomp the enemy, or get out of the way.

Johnny Fritz minted a new fan out of me at the Dawes tribute show to their late manager Gerry G in Ojai... Not to mention amazing appearances by Jenny Lewis, and Lucius! A welcome night of music celebrating someone who brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.

Stop protecting people like the garbage person who swatted Pete Buttigieg's family. Give us -the internet- their names and let us take care of it. #Enoughisenough #ByAnyMeansNecessary

There's nothing more devastating than having a Brit look at you with sadness in their eyes and the phrase: "I'm afraid you've let the side down, dear boy." on their lips.

I love that Iran just basically keeps stringing the U.S. along and then giving it "the finger." I also can't believe how happy watching my own country get played like a cheap fiddle at a drunken hoedown is making me. Strange days.

Tonight, I'm going up to Ojai for Dawes. See you in the funny pages.

Please Mamdani my city. Please. Pretty please. #LosAngeles #NithiaRaman

I never fear a place is "haunted." Ghosts are just former people, & if there's one thing I've found true it's that I can drive those away from me with very little effort. I drive more people permanently away from me than Satan's Flatulence would. It's my "superpower." It's also my Achilles heel.

Democratic socialism today. Democratic socialism tomorrow. Democratic socialism forever.

I need me some #desert time.

I will be celebrating my usual observation of revolution in July. Bastille Day.

If you were to corner me on the subject... I do regret the number of Kerbals I have lost in my quest to land a Kerbal on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program. If Kerbals have a "Devil," surely, I am him. Progress isn't cheap. Kerbals however... No no no. Sorry... Habit.

I know, kinda silly... But, I'm actually proud that I finally managed to stop biting my nails in my 50s. I've never had regular fingernails. They're a bit of a pain in the dong. I'm now covered in scratches because I'm not used to scratching an itch with a claw. But, I'm still glad I did it.
