UAU. Highlight Medley. youtu.be/RD0Mw64S13A?...

Kind of a fun little song by an artist you probably never heard of. It tells a story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJAi...

New music from Band-Maid today. ENERGETIC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpZj...

Tell me 5 random things that you love (Not people. Not pets.) * A big spoonful of peanut butter mixed with honey. * A nice nap. * Walking on the beach. * Monin Dragon Fruit syrup mixed with water. * Lasagna.

And home. That little trip only took 6 hours. But we survived it.

You know you've got the blues when even the music doesn't cheer you up.

So. Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz again. And the US war mongers are saying they'll take control of the strait. How come I feel like the little kid in that movie and think, "I see dead people"?l The Strait of Hormuz. The USA's own Crimea.

To those who do celebrate it. Happy Father's Day. To those who don't celebrate it. Happy Sunday. I know too many fathers who left their families.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Aie-yah-ah-yah-yah-yoo-ah-hee! OK. I'm better now. I needed to scream into the void.

STAYC. 2 LOVE. Dance Practice. Special Makeup Version. This is fun to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHZR...

That moment when you know what to do, so you tell her, "Wake me up in the morning, and I'll go with you to the CT scan. I'll take my phone and my earphones so I can wait. No problem." Sometimes I try to do something right.

Oh. Look. I wrote something for #ThursThreads. Unexpected. Thanks, @davidaludwig.bsky.social for convincing me to try. Even though you don't know you did. Two songs hit it big this week. aespa - Whole Different Animal aespa - Lemonade.

In Virginia, we don't seem to have the same heartburn about Data Centers as they are having in lots of other states. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

And, the whole house Air Conditioner has been repaired. We have air conditioning again. 2 parts had to be replaced. One was the biggest capacitor I've ever seen. The other was a switch. But, we're up and running. Yay!

Found over on Spoutible.

Very Summery. 2 Love by STAYC. youtu.be/BEA4hjtdqv8?...

A lot of coastal towns and cities may end up having to deal with lots of flooding. Sooner than they want to. www.commondreams.org/news/antarct...

I keep having thoughts about the French Revolution, and the "let them eat cake" mentality of the French rich back then. And I wonder if history can repeat itself here. www.commondreams.org/news/billion...

MEOVV is growing on me. They're getting better and better, I think. Which is a good thing. DDI RO RI. Performance. A fun watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRSS...

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

*looks at the weather forecast* 96 on Sunday... Owie... Only in the 80s today. *looks at the front yard (re: outside the fence)* I need to mow that before the neighbors call the city on me. Gonna be a toasty experience today, ain't it? *wonders how many sections he'll have to mow it in.*

When your significant other asks, "Do you want to get up and go pick blackberries first thing in the morning?" the correct answer is not, "We'll see when we wake up." The correct answer is, "Absolutely." 49 years and I'm still learning.

When you go to Red Robin and have a milkshake, half a burger, and no fries (brought the 2nd half of the burger and all the fries home), 'cause all you want is something cold. It's been hot today.

* screams into the void * OK. I'm better now. I do recommend screaming into the void. It can't hurt.

And medical debt would own the 99%. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-r...

When you desperately need a shower to wash off the sweat of the day, but you want to delay it as long as possible, 'cause you'll get all sweaty again after the shower if you aren't careful. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

One big block of patches for Windows 11 released this week. Over 190 patches. In a single update. It's a new record. tech.slashdot.org/story/26/06/...

UAU teaser trailers. All 3 of them. youtu.be/nds-1MfyCu4?...

New "glitch" using the Hyper-V to run Pop_OS. Ran out of RAM. Had to reboot the Windows box to free up RAM so the VM could start.

*goes into garage. finds all 3 AC units in the garage (2 portable, one window mounted).* Well. At least I know where they are now. Getting the one she wants out of the garage, and upstairs to the master bedroom will be a challenge. But it looks doable.

AIEEE! OK. I'm better now.

The geek in me says, "But... What OS would this thing run?" www.firefly.store/products/aib...

Finally gave up and bought music by aespa. Turns out it was on sale. $4.99 for 11 songs. I can do that.

Because. Pushing back against the blues this morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=soAc...

*reads the news headlines. Examines BSKY. Examines Spoutible.* Yep. It's Fried-day. You can tell by all the chaos.
