I don’t know about you all, but I really really (really) need to stop hearing from these idjits.
The boys and I are thinking maybe they need this.
You measure a Utah legislative session by how up in your business they get
This was an 11
Thank you for nailing how I have felt but been too damn busy to give much thought.
CompuServe! I was 73522,1404 and yet I can't remember my sons' phone numbers.

She is SO ready for Halloween.
the guys trying to call DoD the "department of war" are getting very prickly about people calling their war a "war"
Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.
A few square inches of tree trunk. At least 4 species of lichens (Parmelia, two Physcia species and Caloplaca) plus Red Tree Brain Fungus. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends.
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
Charles Addams’ quite brilliant cover for July 17th 1954’s The New Yorker.
The ayatollahs could issue the funniest statement ever today:
"Wait. He just appointed the second-most deadbrained Senator to head homeland security and he gave the dog-shooting Barbie some made-up job defending the Western Hemisphere. And now he wants to name our Supreme Leader? The fuck you say."

what fresh hell
The bottom five teams of the English Premier League. Wolverhampton in 20th and Burnley in 19th aren't our concern here, but rather West Hapm in 18th at 28 points, Nottingham Forest in 17th also with 28 points but a better goal differential, and Tottenham Hotspur in 16th at 29 points. The bottom three teams are relegated down to the lower division - now called the Championship, but yes, it's the 2nd division - at the end of the season. The final part of the chart shows the team's form over the last 5 games. West Ham have a win, 2 draws, a loss and a win, Forest have a loss, a draw, 2 losses and a draw. Spurs have 5 losses. There's a real chance they crash out this season, and then...
My son sent a text today noting World Wars 1 AND 2 started with Spurs in the 2nd division of English football. In case anyone follows both the Premier League and what's happening in the Middle East right now.
There used to be two, but a horrible science accident fused Mark and Wayne together.

My daughter won her school spelling bee, but felt no obligation to compete at county. They sent her a participation award anyway.
It's misspelled.
Everything these people do is an explicit rejection not of liberalism, but of basic morality and ethics.
There is no guiding principle beyond "we do whatever we wamt to further the power of straight white Christian fundamentalist men." They are evil to the core.
This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime
Pretty sure the problem started with a Brit or two.
Thank goodness there isn’t a major event coming soon that would make an appealing target.

So our "friends" insult us, threaten us, tax us, and now they want us to return so they can pick our pockets.
Hard pass.
