Far Side
I will be checking our gutters tomorrow early in the afternoon as I forgot to do it today. I'm hoping it's not too late before the monsoon is coming.
Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.
Who put this MFer in charge of the world?
No, Star Trek is not 'done'.
SNW is finished filming, SFA is waiting on the news of S3. There is a movie in pre-production. Across The Unknown just released. Comics as well - we're doing ok, don't worry!
Happy Monday everyone!

I can't compete with this.
Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah have been handed lifetime suspensions from MLS forΒ violating the leagueβs Gambling Policy.
The investigation found that Jones and YeboahΒ bet βextensivelyβ on soccer, including on their own teams, during 2024 and 2025. Including a Jones yellow card in 2024.
He plays exceptionally & represents Denver very well. Good to see him continue to succeed.
Awesome news. Good to see him sticking about the Broncos.
So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?
Is Phil Neville on the hot seat π₯π?
The Portland Timbers have not looked good to start the MLS season (and didnβt end last year great either), but whoβs more to blame, the talent or the coach?

She's not alone in this thought. I'm truly horrified by the actions of the men running our current administration.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark Americaβs birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, weβre getting screwed and heβs getting rich.
If youβre roughly my age, itβs wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Bonus points for them being in your pants.
So time change day both sucks and blows while ants took over an alarm clock in our basement for their home. Apparently there is a lot of terrible going on right now out there.
We forgot that we should score ourselves, and try to stop the other side from scoring.

Have we ever truly been good? Seems like the Craps often have our number. But glad you had fun with the TA. There are nights where I miss being there.
#RCTID related. Apparently, tonight was a train wreck until this moment. Then, reality set in.
Sounds like a fun night at the park for everyone involved.
TBF, I know the corgi's practice schedule & they really put in the work each and every day. So in retrospect, it's good for the corgis but bad for the peoples. Now back to you in the newsroom.
Every piece of evidence available: the average men's college basketball game is two hours and 15 minutes
ESPN: let's stack our games on top of each other in two-hour windows so fans can consistently miss the first 15 minutes of their favorite team's game because Notre Dame-BC won't end
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my father last year & we were extremely estranged because he was terribly homophobic & misogynist. Doesn't mean I don't miss him or still feel pain about it because he had good moments back when, but I feel for you. Seriously.
think my favorite part of today's College Football Idiot's White House Convention is the fact Nick Saban is STILL carrying himself as a symbol of ethics in a sport that had to name rules after him because he broke them on purpose so many times (not to mention ran a program that paid everyone)
With a CBA deal still pending, Lexington and Louisville begin the season with a minute-long moment of stillness.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donβt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people β and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
I applaud your courage to talk about it openly. I'm just now coming to terms from years of abuse inflicted upon me during my childhood and teenage years after being told to just "deal with it" or "it's not a big deal" Yet, it's years later and I am still trying to wrap my head about it all.
