I just talked to Mitch McConnell on my X-Box for 20 minutes about Iran, Ukraine, Maine, and Senate history. And let me tell you. Mitch McConnell is the kindest bravest warmest most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

Under Trump, the Department of Veterans Affairs has lost over 40,000 employees in fiscal year 2025, negatively impacting the quality and timeliness of care for veterans. But enjoy this walkthru of my new Bribe Force One *gift* from Qatar instead.

The Treasury Department has scrapped the idea of putting Harriet Tubman on the twenty dollar bill, while Republicans in Congress have proposed an image that more accurately reflects America in 2026, a brain-dead Mitch McConnell.

NYC building in danger of collapse. “Newman!…”

My favorite quantum theory thought experiment is Schrödinger's McConnell.

Life in a small(er) town. WiFi is out since yesterday am and won’t be back until tomorrow pm, they cut the power in my office, so I had to leave there. Decided to get some groceries on the way home and they’re closed while they install a new POS (pt of sale) system. Green Acres was a documentary.

Trump accounts. For when you don't want to be accountable.

Come to the Democratic Party, where we treat sexual assault as a bug and not a feature.

We always knew Trump was a big job creator. We just never knew that job was Pool Guy.

Let's get Epstein Files trending.

I think God warmed up DC to record high temps just to get Donald more used to his upcoming surroundings.

OTD, 1054 AD, a colossal supernova in the night sky was witnessed and then documented on this rock overhang in Chaco Canyon New Mexico. But yeah, fireworks, whatever.

Storms are causing Trump’s speech to be cancelled. Or, at least there won’t be any audience there. My atheism is being challenged.

I cannot celebrate America's 250th Birthday. But I will cheer the restoration of our democracy, when it happens, with everything in my heart.

A lot of us just aren’t feeling it for the 250th anniversary. We’re saving our energy for something really worth celebrating, hopefully coming sooner rather than later.

Every Fourth of July, Lauren Boebert signs her checks “John Handcock”.

“You won’t BELIEVE which way the British are coming!” - Paul Revere clickbait.

What good does it do for animatronic Teddy Roosevelt to carry a big stick if he doesn’t use it?

Saturday in the park. I think it was the Fourth of July.

When you’re on YouTube, be sure to only watch videos that are “cinematic”. Otherwise, you have wasted your life.

The Trump Department of Justice will have a press conference today announcing the arrest of someone who took a box knife to the jet stream.

My dog sits at the window and grumbles and growls at anything that’s different. Windows are Dog Fox News.

The Great American State Fair didn’t close. It went upstate to live on a farm.

I too have committed pool vandalism. I was 11 and it was a Baby Ruth bar.

We cancelled our Fourth of July weekend trip to Florida. Disney World is too crowded and they closed Alligator Alcatraz.

The Great American State Fair is the Kid Rock alt-Halftime Show of Fyre Festivals.

Senator Chris Murphy lays out 500 days of Trump corruption. youtu.be/DaQ_95hPhu4?...

He’s spiraling.

Trump loses birthright citizenship ruling. Barron gets to stay.

I posted this as a hint on Facebook, but evidently my daughter didn’t see it.

I’ve been a professional software engineer for 39 years, and yet I feel my career is incomplete because I’ve never said “I’m in!”.

In case you missed it, an ode to dirty green pools here with a parody of the Little River Band hit “Cool Change” with “Pool Change”. youtu.be/5IWRzfnAa4I?...

Corporate Media: On a daily basis we never call Trump a rapist, a bigot, a felon, we credulously repeat everything he says as if he’s not a pathological liar, but when Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan publish a book, we’re like, “Whoo boy, incredible revelations! Who knew the President was this bad?”

Astronomers find Jupiter-sized planet less dense than cotton candy. This is where carneys come from.

Mary in Ann Arbor’s rendition of the parody of Dionne Warwick’s “Alfie”, called “Algae”, was at 25,000 views this morning and 86,000 views now, headed to 100K by morning. Thanks! youtu.be/iFkYBSpKPRM?...

How can anyone take the time away from eating cats and dogs to vandalize a pool?
