I don't think I will need to describe the frightening screams at this Tuscan agriturismo we'll be staying in starting next Thursday, but I've got the phrase "i gridi spaventosi" phrase in my quiver thanks to Duolingo, just in case.

these are truly awful people. i wish them the worst. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Cowboys Mi Cocina Campisi's (the physical restaurant, and their pasta is bad. The pizza is good as takeout.) The Ticket (except when broadcasting SMU games)

My husband decided that 23 is the bamboo anniversary. He got me this awesome (and way too expensive) SMU-themed mahjong set. Total surprise. I love the band in their candy striped jackets, Dallas Hall, Peruna, and little Boulevard tents under the"bamboo" trees. Pony Up!

Yup. Paxton is horrible but Cornyn deserves scorn for abandoning all principles and by pledging fealty to Trump in pursuit of power.

I just kinda badmouthed Springsteen about his River concert that I didn't like. But I would totally go to another concert with his latest protest tunes, he's a great patriotic American, and I appreciate that there are many who really love his music.

Transiberian Orchestra. Had a firm suite at the AAC. Took kids (hubby had conflict) & another family. Expected holiday tunes similar to famous Carol of the Bells. It was weird & bad & creepy. Halfway through the dad from the family asked me "How did @mulligan99.bsky.social get outta this?"

If it can be automated you can make it mass transit instead

You don’t want hands free driving, you want trains. You want trains you want trains you want TRAINS

WHY DO YOU NEED AI TO READ A LIST OF NAMES??????????????

Yes, I will like every mascot reveal post until my algorithm is nothing but 22 year olds in big funny feet.

Finally made it to the Negro League Museum and the Jazz Museum after all these years. I wish they had the funding to modernize to make it more interactive and mixed media but still cool.

Haven't seen one of these in the wild. Seen while visiting my mom in Olathe Kansas.

If you didn’t see this (especially if you’re a Colts fan like @justtmill.bsky.social or @robinindie.bsky.social) then you need to see this.

These culture warrior asshole politicians are destroying Texas public higher education.

Really cool that my daughter's high school is including her with the spring signing day event tomorrow!! In case you missed it, she's going to be a University of Arizona twirler!

@medialawprof.bsky.social I'm not seeing Leaf's argument. What do you think?

You see this press release from DHS about a federal judge? The agency pushed it out 5 days ago. Today, a DOJ attorney admitted to the judge that it “simply was not true.” (It’s also still online at DHS dot gov as of 540 pm Monday) 1/

I know I'm late to the party & may be the only person who is, but just in case, if you haven't seen the documentary Will & Harper, see it now (on Netflix). Such a lovely story of Will Ferrell's roadtrip with his friend Harper Steele after her transition. Kristen Wiig's theme song is so sweet.

I haven't seen a movie in a movie theater in 18 months. Just went and saw Project Hail Mary. Beautiful. I wept.

@mulligan99.bsky.social Want to bring me some lunch?

The total raised by CFB (& CFB-adjacent) fans is truly astounding. We all need to wear Michigan attire for one day to honor the incredible amount raised by just Wolverines. (Can I put in a plug for everyone to find a few more $$ to donate to their school's marching band program, the ❤️ of CFB!!)

I have big big news that I can finally announce! Our stressful college twirling auditions have come to a happy conclusion! My daughter is heading west because we just weren't hot enough here in Big D! Someone once told me, college twirlers are the "pros" of their sport. And my kid is one of them!

Watched some hockey, watched some YouTube videos about our Norwegian fjord cruise and booked some excursions. I'm sure nothing else is happening in the world tonight.

Rolled up to the NDTX Benxh Bar convergence and parked across from a Cybertruck with a personalized license plate that says CYBRTNK. The cherry on top was the anti-Nazi sticker on the back. Like sure, dude. The slash through that swastika totally overrides the Nazi dumpster on wheels you're driving.

I was going all in on this little fun micro-history of fridge magnets until I got to this paragraph: ... "a solo genius struck with a sudden and remarkable flash of genius, a Great Man (and it is almost always a man)..." What the heck is that supposed to mean?

But if any CFB-sky internet friends want a place in Dallas, close to one of the announced practice facilities, nice walkable neighborhood with nearby restaurants and parks, and don't mind a messy house and won't steal our stuff, hit me up.

Pour one out.

My husband's grandmother had a "mild" case of polio as a child. She walked with a slight limp the rest of her life, but was otherwise ok.

Not a watch gal (except for the brief Swatch craze in the 80s) but this is really cool.

Every time that Master's theme comes on with its soft piano and acoustic guitar, I instantly need a Sunday afternoon nap.

Really going to make it harder for me to come up with excuses as to why it took me a half hour to meet them for dinner when I told my husband and kids I'd be there in 15 minutes.

It's amazing that the technology to get back to Earth falling out of orbit is basically just 3 old fashioned parachutes.

I'm reminded of Easter 2013, when we braved a public egg hunt with a helicopter. Kids were supposed to only take 10 eggs to make sure every kid got eggs. We still laugh at me shouting "solo diez" to the older children whose adults were not enforcing the rules for their own kids.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Well, turns out being in the town of one of the Final Four participants isn't all the great when they're losing big. We left the place we we watching at half.

Please send good vibes for my daughter's twirling audition this weekend. It's a position she'd really like. She didn't get the offer at 2 previous college auditions, but she really wasn't that into either (an SEC & ACC school) & so was relieved because it's a bird-in-hand situation.

Stars, they're just like us.

Apropos to the Rick Steves discussion yesterday.

So Option 2 was correct. He left in the middle.

SMU beat Tech today in spring volleyball. But I just can't get over how high Natalia Newsome jumps. Her vertical would have put her in the Top 4 of the NBA combine. Not WNBA. The NBA. The pictures are nuts.

I get the uproar, but it could be worse. Remember Scorpion King?
