GOD: “Take them. They’re yours.” SATAN: “I don’t want them.” GOD: “Look, they devoted their lives to joining you.” SATAN: “Yeah, but I’m scared of having that much competition in Hell. They'd probably organize a coup.”

I've got a shot of Glengoyne left to celebrate the Big One, but I am willing to up the ante and head to Trader Joe's for champagne.

If Oregon is 9th worst, the survey criteria are a joke. www.koin.com/news/oregon/...

So the Giants had their last 15 batters retired last night and didn't manage a hit today until the ninth inning. Hoo boy.

@clareblackwood.bsky.social Sorry, Jays and Gausman fans.

Holy cow, I have been to that Goodwill. Nice find!

I have special disdain for the anti inmigrant immigrants.

Turned on Portugal vs Croatia and the first closeup is Ronaldo whining for a call. What a shock.

A person died tonight. I did not enjoy this person's company but she took care of my eldest daughter at a time when she really needed someone, so I am grateful to her. My daughter is a mess - she lost her birth mother last year and this later mom tonight. So we will love on her like she loves us.

My youngest kid gifted me a cool solar-powered boombox for my birthday. Lots of nifty features, including an analog clock. There is no control to set the time, however. I'm the guy who always corrects the time on car clocks and microwaves, so this is maddening. AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE!!!

Fantastic recap: "For a group of pitchers who seem extremely homophobic, they apparently have no problem with a group of men getting together to suck, as long as it’s on a baseball field."

Seen in Lynwood, WA.

Happy Fathers Day to fathers who didn't abandon their three young children to run off with one of their mistresses.

The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle. -Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925

This may appeal to about 3 people on my feed, but I stumbled across this today and it's mesmerizing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETg1...

My grandson worships Messi, but I couldn't tell the kid about tonight's hat trick because the game ended right at his bedtime and it would have added another 30 minutes to the settling-down process.

I lived next to Putah Creek for three years when I was in grad school at UC Davis. I remember what a stagnant mess the creek would become in the summer. This story makes me happy: www.hcn.org/articles/the...

I have one fat shot left in a bottle of Glengoyne that I was given last year. I'll bet you can guess what I am saving it for.

My new grandson left the hospital this morning. He was almost 8 weeks premature, so he stayed a couple of weeks. But he hit all his milestones and got out, so I got to hold him today. My heart is full.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Morning Melancholy.

Today is birthday Six-Seven for me, which delights my grandson no end. Don't ask me how I got this far, I still have trouble believing it.

Absolutely NO LIES TOLD...

What a punk. Will not miss him. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Doing the Big Boss in the first section of FFXIV and I want to kill him just to get him to shut up. So much unskippable nattering.

Hell yeah I voted.

Now this is a concert. 🎵

I got to Facetime with my newborn grandson yesterday and he smiled at me. Yeah, I know some people claim that babies don't actually smile because yada yada but those same folks claim dogs don't smile and mine does every day, so they can all get lost.

Freakin' A, baby! www.cnn.com/2026/05/29/u...

Dang, Azzi Fudd was ballin' last night.

Here is someone who had a rough day at the office: the Chicago White Sox dropped a catchable popup today, so Harrison Bader got to continue his at-bat. He proceeded to hit a grand slam. D'oh!

Had a dream last night that I was in a new entertainment venue where the big attraction was a giant pile of artificial snow for folks to climb and (of course) throw at other climbers. When I woke up my first thought was "Liability Nightmare". Yes, I am old and cynical.

Reading a headline about how intelligent glasses are coming out soon, while wearing a pair of $5 reading glasses, all while whistling Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past".

Took my grandkid to a minor-league baseball game today. About as sloppy as I expected - 17 walks, multiple hit batters, 2 errors. (This is California League - single A ball). It was entertaining, however, as the home team mounted a spirited rally in the ninth but lost 15-14.

Dangit, I have 11 more hours of fasting and it's getting hard to think of anything beyond eating. Pretty sad.

True. #WritingCommunity

Started a 24-hour fast, so of course my feed is overflowing with alluring photos of food. ☹️

It occurs to me that when right-wingers yammer about 'indoctrination' what they mean is 'indoctrination that is not our indoctrination'.

I've heard of teachers doing something similar along lines of "have GPT write it and then we'll go through and critique its writing based on what we've discussed." Bonus critical thinking skills.
