I, and perhaps many of us, need to get out of this mindset: We get hung up on our age/aging too much as a society, I think. "I'm not aging, I'm living to the fullest and best as I can each day" seems like a better way to phrase things. No?

Petition to bring on Wayne as a ref for the rest of the World Cup matches. @producestandpod.com can we make this happen? Wait, Shoresy has also reffed. Let’s get him on too.

After the disappointment of today’s games, decided to binge some Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Delighted to hear Adam West voicing a big hearted bat-bot named Porto-bot, best friend of Ace the Bat-Hound. Lovely use of Adam West.

It looks like a good deal because it is a good deal, and also supports a good organization!

Anyway, here’s my mental health aid watching the games with me to keep me in line.

We are now House Haaland.

This world cup tournament is not lining up well for my mental health break. Going to have to step away from it.

Yeah, fuck FIFA. Gianni Infantino has absolutely ruined this World Cup. - the bullshit Peace Prize to 47 - Suspending CR7’s red cards to allow him to play and taint Portugal - the overt bias - the unchecked racism - accepting 47’s call to suspend FB’s Red Card - arsehole

Cabo Verde was robbed. Now Egypt. It’s no argument that Egypt lost steam, but they should have been 3 up. That disallowed goal was absolute bullshit. FIFA isn’t beating the corruption allegations. This competition is truly tainted.

So player steps on Mo’s foot in the box - similar type foul that caused a VAR check that disallowed Hassan’s first goal - ignited and ARG scores off the play? Nah… this script is too much. Oh, and now all the yellows to Egypt.

LET’S GO EGYPT!!!

DISALLOW THAT ONE, YOU CORRUPTED MOTHERFUCKERS.

Been trying to be neutral, but no more. With all my heart and soul from the depths of my cockles, FUCK FIFA FUCK VAR FUCK ARG AND MESSI ABSOLUTE LUDICROUS DECISION. If this is how Argentina pays win, they should be ashamed.

The team made a bad decision so I chose to not watch the game. Going to read some comics instead. Need some hope after the past few days.

Chynna Soleil, on TikTok, crystallizes what makes me so uncomfortable about the call for a Pulitzer for the Metro Nazi pic. We want to rush to laud this woman for bravery because that ends our responsibility for this scenario. We don’t have to make sure she’s ok. We don’t have to corral these men.

The last saved celebrity is your therapist. Ehhhhhhhh… … okay. Okay.

Not all patriots wear capes…

America isn’t worth celebrating. These are just some of the ways this country is becoming irreparably worse.

Josimar José Évora Dias, known as Vozinha, goalkeeper for Capo Verde. He is 40 years old, and for 102 minutes, he held defending Champions Argentina including Lionel Messi to a standstill. Give this man some DAP.

Con artists posing as ICE agents and immigration officers are using WhatsApp and fake court hearings to cheat vulnerable people out of their savings.

@kellythompson.bsky.social is the best writer in the business at separating my money from my wallet. This seems like it's going to be awesome. aiptcomics.com/2026/06/30/b...

My essay on how some tough reviews of the new ‘Supergirl’ seem misguided, inspired by an understandable superhero movie backlash flavored with a bit of bandwagon-jumping and a hint of sexism. READ: https://loom.ly/mbTtoMY

Everybody fuck off I loved Supergirl.

An offering to the great Saints of Portuguese Football for all the prayers for this evening’s match. Santo Eusébio, rogai por nós. Santo Diogo Jota rogai por nós. Santo José Torres, rogai por nós. Santo João Pinto, Santo José Águas, Santo Paulo Futre, Santo Coluna, Rogai por nós!

@erinbartram.bsky.social question that I wonder if you or anyone at the MTHouse could address. Is there a good quote from Twain that would convey what he might feel about someone as uncouth as Bill Maher being presented with an award that bares the name of Mark Twain?

Hey #NutmegSky you can tour @marktwainhouse.bsky.social for free July 1-3 and July 5 if you are a Connecticut resident thanks to CT Humanities!

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

Gorgeous hike today at Bennetts Pond State Park in Ridgefield. I’ve taught in Ridgefield for 17 years and love the town, but I hear the claim that building more housing would wreck places like this—but it’s not true. We could build more homes in existing areas *and* preserve our beautiful parks.

I just saw that it's National Rabbit Week! Hello to all of my hop-cat friends! Please remember and spread the word that rabbits are not "starter pets" and they are not low maintenance pets. Caring for them properly is huge responsibility. 🐇 www.animallama.com/rabbits/rabb...

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

Again, “anti wokeness” is just a labor story, people love to pretend it’s something else, they just don’t like it when black people are in elite spaces that they think are white collective property

This just in: Trump hires the Creature From the Green Lagoon as the official Pool Lifeguard. Here it dredges up a swimmer who no doubt damaged the pool and will promptly be arrested.

If you see this post a female superhero! 💙❤️💛

A reminder of the story behind the woeful Americanisation and decimation of an iconic British Brand, Cadbury, that was so much more than just a brand of chocolate, but also a proud British project for social improvement. apple.news/AROmsXsYiR2m...

Decided to get off my bit and do some photography this morning. Common Grackle #Birds @bskyphotos.bsky.social #HeldersPhotoJournal Lumix G9 II with PanaLeica 100-400mm II LUT: “Summer” by RossAndHisJPEGS

A recent thread by @comicbookian.bsky.social on Mike Parobeck’s short DCU stories inspired me to dig out my old Superman & Batman Magazines. Some great stuff here. I’ll try to snap and post those stories here and there when I can. They’re lots of fun.

What the fuck?!? There are commercials during the games?!? #FuckFIFA

folks when we find a guy who's saying a bunch of dumbass shit can we get back to blocking them instead of screenshotting them and talking about their dumbass shit? these losers are not worth our time & when we let them waste it we insult the revolution

The Justice Society Of America, by Alex Toth, 1981. Ah, Alex Toth: one of the very few artists who could make a shot of super-heroes (mostly) sitting down convincing, fascinating & compelling.

When I look at the trees that live here on my land, that have been here for hundreds of years before I was born, I realise one never really owns a tree. I am just their custodian for now. They are what remains of our once great temperate rainforest

as a historian, I decree this a good and appropriate observance of the 250th

De Niro: When I hear something I don’t like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation—not even a little bit—I say: shut the fuck up.

@petersagal.bsky.social loved this week’s show. One thing: the writers missed the best factoid about the giant American flag that caused the black out in CT: The flag was on the top of the WWE HQ building in Stamford! www.nhregister.com/news/article...

It’s a Trumpian World Cup for racism and cynicism – why don’t those who condemned Qatar 2022 say so? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1 arrives Sept. 2.

He stood out from the TV pack with his bowties, bushy eyebrows and movie reviews studded with cheeky turns of phrase.

I don't consider myself that much of a radical, but I do think that our being about to have our first "trillionaire" while there are still people dying from not being able to afford food, housing, or healthcare is an outrage and proof of how damaged our society has become.
