I’m going to need my coworkers to do this every time I go in to the office

It's always nice to hear from people who tell me I'm underrated as a columnist. But you know what it would be cool to be? Rated.

I have always believed "electrolytes" were a thing completely made up by companies trying to sell sports drinks. That is, until this weekend, when I figured out my lack of consuming them has been causing me headaches for over a year. You win, corporate hydration!

Last year, the BBC ran a four-part series on the history of Britpop, and it is available on YouTube. I just watched it all at once, and it turned me on to some lesser-known bands I wish I had known 30 years ago. youtu.be/C8RrvCe-13U?...

My special Father's Day column at @nationalreview.bsky.social today: End the Dad Slander - Fathers Can Be Geniuses, Too: link.nationalreview.com/click/6a3804...

It's no surprise that the Europeans here for the World Cup are amazed at Texas - living there is like the America+ subscription plan

The greatest strength of American democracy is that almost anyone can be elected president. The greatest weakness of American democracy is that almost anyone can be elected president.

In NFL terms, can someone describe Spinoza’s pantheistic monism, where God and nature are identical

For those disconsolate over my usual Thursday column not appearing today, your nightmare will not last long. It will be up on Sunday. (It is holiday-themed.)

When the Democratic Republic of Congo showed up looking this clean, you knew they meant business

I can still smell the tacos I had for lunch, which means I spilled some on my shirt and cannot identify where

Why are there no Drinking Olympics every four years? Let's settle this once and for all - Wisconsin vs. Scotland for the global drinking crown.

New today: America's World Cup visitors are showing us what a miracle our country is: www.anti-knowledge.com/p/the-world-...

Stock tip: Buy all the shares you can of Hidden Valley Ranch, because when the Europeans go home from the World Cup, they will be buying ranch dressing en masse

Try to learn as little as you possibly can about Netflix's "Maternal Instinct" before watching it. Then prepare to be horrified and flummoxed.

I spent an hour watching videos of South Koreans partying with Mexicans before their World Cup match in Guadalajara and I feel my soul has been cleansed. (They have adopted the motto "beans and rice always go together.")

Wait until I show you what's inside a cow

I’m going to change the password to all my streaming services just so I can hear from my children

People under 30: Do you know what this is?

I’ll be honest - I’m having a hard time getting worked up about MMA at the White House. It makes no difference in my life and isn’t setting any precedent that can never be undone. Let these dummies fight for all I care.

Ancestry-dot-com is really fumbling the chance to advertise to American soccer fans during the World Cup. "Are you rooting for Germany? Are you SURE you shouldn't be rooting for Sweden? How about a DNA test?"

"Hydration break" = "We need to squeeze more ads in because someone has to pay for all this stuff"

Biggest comebacks of the week: The New York Knicks and Landon Donovan’s hairline

Michelangelo never painted anything as beautiful as this #mystics

America’s greatest Flos

The Miz just struck Kyle Schwarber out with a 105mph fastball on the corner. Good luck, hitters. (Misiorowski's 105mph fastball is the fastest pitch in recorded Major League history.)

I just hope Elon Musk continues with his endeavors that make America much better so they supersede his endeavors that have made America much worse

Taylor Swift at the Knicks game is just a reminder of how fun it can be if we once again allowed our celebrities to get drunk as shit in public

Now in hour eight of being at the same airport. I think they just started building the plane I’m about to get on this morning

Stuck in the airport for seven hours, so I just did five laps around the building to get my steps in. I am certain it creeped everyone out and I am now on a watchlist.

I don't know what is being played at this tiny field in Las Vegas, but it is not Major League baseball. There are homers every inning - it's like a beer league softball game.

New newsletter: Politics Shouldn't Be More Like Sports www.anti-knowledge.com/p/politics-s...

I started wearing my Apple Watch at night, but now I’m having nightmares that it’s going to give me a bad sleep score, which seems counterproductive

While I am typically against people younger than me achieving things, the fact that the kids are really into Backrooms, an esoteric, open-ended movie directed by a 20-year-old, augurs very well for the future

Everyone credits Idiocracy for predicting modern politics, but Animal House nailed it in 1978

There's always a cool couple of months between a famous person expressing reasonable criticism of a progressive policy and them realizing they have to turn into a MAGA buffoon to keep the act up

I need someone to explain soccer formations to me so I can immediately begin complaining that coaches with 30 years of experience are playing the wrong one

To commemorate Marjane Satrapi's death, I watched Persepolis for the first time today, and I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner. What a beautiful (and informative) film.

The Democrats' thirst to mimic the Republicans' faux masculinity has led them into the Graham Platner mess. It's a mistake to fight fire with more fire. (Me today at @nationalreview.bsky.social ) link.nationalreview.com/click/6a2191...

All I can think of when the Spurs' Julian Champagnie hits a shot

Growing a mustache after your facial hair starts to go gray is 80 percent less hilarious. It doesn't really pop.

If I eat any food I don't like, it doesn't count toward the daily calorie total. Those are just the rules.

As long as we are discussing CBS News anchors, here's a story from the time I ran into the incomparable Bob Schieffer in 2012.

Just realized I have a dental appointment next week that I have no memory of scheduling. I have no idea what it's for - could be a cleaning, or I may be getting all my teeth pulled. I guess we will find out!

Robot Umpires Are Good For Baseball (me today at @wsj.com) www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

I assume these "experts" are also male birds

Took my Gen Z daughter to see "Backrooms" today and...I needed her to explain it to me

Trump seems unaware that these artists were “Third Rate” [sic] before they turned him down

I watched "Bret Michaels: Rock of Love" TWICE and I can assure you this is the first time he has pulled out of anything unsavory

I will admit Pink Floyd has always been a gaping blind spot in my musical knowledge. I recall being six years old, listening to "Another Brick in the Wall" on the AM radio while trying to get to sleep, and it scaring the shit out of me. Trying to rectify that now.
