Overrated, eh?

Imagine the pure joy of getting to write this www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

Adorable young kestrels surprised by a butterfly.

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

I finish my talk on the pompatus of love. 'Bravo, Space Cowboy' shouts one member of the audience. 'Simply superb, Gangster Of Love' shouts another. 'Well done, Maurice' shouts my Mom from the back row even though I told her not to come and now my street cred IS RUINED.

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

Alder Nicole Lee will not even consider protected lanes here because we'd have to remove street parking.

Based on these fortune cookies, It Will Happen on a Saturday in August.

This is all incredible, but “that shame isn’t about you” is something many of us need to hear more often.

Watching this dude's villain arc has been wild. From being a cutting edge Loveline co-host on almost every Alt-Rock station in the country, breaking new bands week after week, to misogynistic comedy of The Man Show, to Alt-Right nonsense podcaster for dads whose kids don't speak to them anymore.

Sarah Michelle Gellar honors her "Buffy" co-star Anthony Head following his death:

INSPIRED: here’s a tax rebate from the Hoosier State

TIRED: you're the pride and joy of Illinois WIRED: you're the biggest thrill in Merrillville

Are Cubs pitchers aware that they don't have to give up home runs every inning?

RIP Anthony Stewart Head

This is the inflection point for the political momentum shift in the US

I did it! 82-0. www.82-0.com/share?id=DLI...

This is one of those reasons I've always had a lot of love for Anthony Head. www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very sad to hear that Anthony Head has died. So many great roles, from the indelible Giles in Buffy to Bleak Expectations and Cabin Pressure to Ted Lasso and everything in between. From all accounts he was a really nice man and a very funny and talented actor. RIP.

I've started asking people the thought experiment "are there more doors or wheels on planet earth?". I don't really care about their answer, but the speed at which they ask ChatGPT allows me to assess how much I care about their thoughts and opinions on other matters.

A Slight Risk (2/5, yellow) is in place for more than 7.5 million people across parts of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The primary threat will come from late afternoon through the overnight hours, with severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and damaging wind gusts.

Chicago, this is for you! Tell em they gotta go.

I just went 76-6, think you can go 82-0? Not a bad team there… www.82-0.com/share?id=BNU...

Sometimes, I’m confused.

The Cubs scored at least 4 runs in the 9th inning for a walk-off win for the first time since Aug. 12, 2018 vs. the Nationals aka the David Bote walk-off grand slam game.

Holy shit! #FlyTheW

Fucking Cubs.

Man, it's almost like AI companies have been lying about the cost of using their products. youtube.com/shorts/9wwbj...

We have learned nothing from science fiction.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP I can't believe this lying asshole's pants didn't combust with the energy of a supernova right where he stood.

Well, I was going to go to the gym this afternoon, but I need to run an errand for my dad and bring the twins somewhere, so that’ll have to wait.

Watching Salesforce dev sprint demos to plan for training is truly as exciting as it gets.

Among the wild things about this: Unitarian Universalists (4, albeit separate groups at the time) and Deists (arguably 2) were represented among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Those are among the groups reportedly now excluded from faith codes. www.military.com/dod-official...
