Better indicator to begin a fall and first frost countdown? A: Cicadas began their nightly, “your trees are my boudoir” song last night. B. The email/ text/ recorded voicemail trifecta to let me know it’s time to make sure my kid’s school registration and information is up-to-date.

Mamdani lands on a list of who this administration considers subversive. And he’s only been mayor for six months. Is there any accomplishment he won’t achieve?

And 80s.

Needed one of those vaudeville hooks.

I think we’ve lost sight of loyal opposition.

340 days until the women’s World Cup

Since the third place World Cup doesn’t really matter, they should just have a bake-off between the players and call it The Battle of Tastings. Pretty sure I just earned a Paul Hollywood hand gesture.

Lindsey Heaps takes warmups for the first time ♨️

Remember: if it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

Meta made us subscribe to their Meta Verified Business Max service in order to talk to an actual human after Meta AI suspended our Facebook page for "impersonating" ourselves. Meta Verified Business Max is a $500/month service that allegedly gives you priority resolutions to issues. But...

Slaw.

Hmmm. What should I check out next?

Ah. Maryville. Been there. Nothing surprises me about you.

Corruption is not free speech.

It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.

If ETTD (Everything Trump Touches Dies), I would like for him to spend more time touching himself.

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

Scattered, smothered, chopped, diced, and covered.

Well, I suppose the best revenge Belgium can have is to win the match in a clear and obvious manner. USMNT needs to do a better job of playing like girls. Like the USWNT ladies, at least.

Much lyke the Church in 1400.

1. Bad call. Bad red. Should not have happened. 2. Interference by a politician makes the outcome of the upcoming match tainted. 3. The known depth of the corruption by both parties (FIFA and the US Prez) makes it far easier to believe that corrupt collusion happened. 4. Too much money in sports.

It’s like the crab version of tribbles.

@guynamedbrian.bsky.social, which one was it again?

Sorry, mate. England is closed tomorrow. They’ll still be celebrating.

DeathSantis rides again.

So. Relieving

If your stated goal was to make America terrible, what would you be doing differently from this administration?

I’ll assume this is why I’ve gotten emails about being declined for repayment plans that I didn’t apply for…

Vance sure went from anti-drug to drug-dealer-for-the-masses quickly.

Apparently, the Wall Street Journal has a recipes and cooking section. Not where I would expect to go for kitchen advice. Cooking the books, however.

There are very few human activities that should even raise the question of legal prohibition. But not none.

Guns are used for aggression (as opposed to self-defense) 99% of the time. But sure, let’s put more of them out there.

Looks like probably the gel cover for a light fixture (gels are the plastic sheets in front of the lights for different colors). Not heavy, but falling from that height, they can do real damage.

If you no longer trust mainstream news and your local affiliates, check out the work ProPublica has been doing to amplify local voices. Crushing it!

Grass fires SUCK.

Parag-all the way on that shot.

Of note: if you have forgotten a case of cans of seltzer in your hot car, do not “punch” the box to open the dispenser end. A minimum of three of the cans will explode and cascade a chain reaction of seltzer fireworks display and spew pressurized water all over your office. Posting for a friend.

IT at a new job a couple of years back asked me if I was comfortable installing MS Office via web download. I said that the first time I installed MS Word, it was on 13 floppies (that weren’t floppy).

Time to take burner phones to protests?

And this is why more people are independents than adherents to a party. The GOP is evil and the Dems are worthless.

Sic semper tyrranis.
