It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

"Holding Out For A Hero" and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" are both bangers. She will be missed. www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...

(I was told when everything moved online that it would be easy to get information. Yet seasons of old Mitchell and Webb shows exist primarily as mid-quality clips from random accounts. How am I to tell the children about Numberwang or The Event in this situation?) Reminder to STAY INDOORS

Every dingus who has been watching the games for couple of weeks now has a plan to fix American soccer that will not work. As that Mitchell and Webb sketch goes, please let us enjoy the full majesty of your uninformed, ad hoc reckon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQnd...

A hit, a palpable hit.

More of us should work "I'm cock-a-hoop!" into our everyday conversation.

I picked up some heavy things and put them back down again, rewarded myself with some burritos and Baja Blast. Did I hallucinate that they sold that in cans at some point?

Mitch McConnell is the reason the American hemp industry is going to die in November and there are people trying to prevent it right now and he’s awol.

So I gather that the Danish media isn't owned by just three oligarchs, then?

Anything to distract from his FIFA meddling, I guess? You'd think with the Iranian ceasefire in shambles he'd try not to pick a fight with his most importance alliance. All hail the cunning of President Deals.

Quite possibly my favorite Vito Scotti performance, though he makes it difficult because he was so great.

"McConnell? Mitch McConnell?" "He's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a kid who's going with the girl who saw him pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I think it's serious."

Alex Falcone tells you the facts and doesn't even charge you $300/seat to go to some meeting to get lied to by a billionaire about it.

Morrissey began and ended with the #MST3K invention exchange where they used him to lock in pop-star freshness. "Did I mention that I cried?" Wild that he vanished off the face of the earth, never to be heard again. (Rick Astley did the Smiths better, IMHO. Because Rick Astley. He's that good.)

Egypt was playing against FIFA, they never had a chance

IT'S UP! An article about the rain-soaked disaster that was July 4th in Washington DC this year, including all the videos I couldn't upload of the sad and angry crowds, plus details that didn['t make the thread. Please check it out if you would like to!

In London some years ago, we did one of those nighttime tours and it had the most hilarious guide. We were wandering around and he asked, "Quick, name a famous Belgian!" We were stumped. He'd asked the question just so he could point out that the house ahead was used in Poirot. Who was fictional.

Well, that's certainly one way to not have to go visit what's left of the White House.

After an hour the US men's team is down to Belgium 3-1. Maybe those ARE soccer jersey's they're wearing afterall. This should put Lalas more at ease in the booth, this is the appropriate level of USMNT play. (Also a reminder the US women's jerseys have four stars.)

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

Before the whitewash comes in, a reminder that because of Mitch Mconnell American women are dying and bleeding out because they were denied abortion care. Because of McConnell the Russians were free to interfere in our elections. Because of Mitch billionaires are coddled while kids get screwed over.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

My "The Senator is in a superpostion of being simultaneously alive and expired" t-shirt is answering a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

The Iowa flag is emblazoned with the logo, “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.” That the state forced this absolutely embarrassing course on students means we’re due for a rewrite. May I suggest from Mississippi Burning: “If you’re ever in Des Moines, don’t send me a postcard.”

You just ain't gonna beat JLA/Avengers. It is perfect superhero comics on every level, a team made up exclusively of some of the best to ever do it running wild with a crossover no one ever thought would happen.

If you don't hear from us in a week, we'll be in the National Hotel in Mexico City. Room 703. Come on, Ethel.

A good chunk of my Eurovision playlist. Though this one often makes its way to the top. It’s a song about spring with an extremely awesome video. Even better live. youtu.be/U7-dxzp6Jvs?...

This is from the opening cinematic of the game Syndicate, isn’t it? Missing the airships, though.

While quite deterministic, Candy Land does teach you how board games work. Since it was created by a teacher for kids in her polio ward, the idea of gaming and thinking about candy must have been pretty boss. There were no characters on my childhood board. existentialcomics.com/comic/58

What is it that makes a man turn... neutral?!

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

Agreed! As a former technical writer, I have had long discussions at work on the use of the em and en dashes and surrounding spaces or not. We come by them honestly. Don’t make me get out my Chicago Manual of Style, it’s just right there on the shelf.

Being in Congress means that millions of dollars are spent keeping your remains hooked up to a machine and technically alive, just so your party doesn’t lose the Senate. It’s just what he would have wanted.

This image is exactly the balm we need after yesterday’s nonsense.

This is a great thread about the debacle that was July 4 in DC. Laura Jedeed has a gift for covering these kinds of events!

Baudrillard spinning in his grave so fast he torpedoes out of the hillside and remains airborne, lasers shooting out of his eyes with such force earth is cleanly cut in two

Apropos of nothing, do you remember the last good day on Twitter?

They must have shot him full of all the uppers if he insists on doing this. Chance of hilarity increases, though I still think this fireworks show is a debacle waiting to happen.

pssst! The storms cancelling out the fireworks is proof that the administration has lost the mandate of heaven! Pass it on!

All moonbase employees must wear purple wigs. It's just science!

Great moments in U.S. History.

I wish I could send this back in time to my younger self. But current-day self probably needed to hear it, too. youtube.com/shorts/j2p2I...

It’s a lovely afternoon in Portland and a couple of goldfinches are chatting at each other among the trees. Can’t wait for somebody to scare them and my dog by blowing up a bunch of fireworks, for freedom.

As Archer says in the episode "Skytanic" "HOORAY FOR METAPHORS!"

Abe Simpson writing an angry letter to the President is always on my mind.

McConnell hasn’t been there for a while, even when he was walking around. Weeks after a cardiac arrest and being in the ICU, he’s going to be in worse shape for a long while. But the GOP can’t lose control of the Senate, so we Schrödinger’s Congressman.

So you know how you can’t see images right now, but when the images have alt text you still know what they were supposed to be? That’s why alt text is important. Accessibility benefits everyone!
