So many ex-Orioles in this game. Sigh…

Something I wish more people would realize.

To everyone in the crowd on old live jazz records - STFU during the bass solo!

Obligatory Duluth video.

Unfortunately I do end up voting blue no matter who, I just resent being told to do so by comfortable upper middle class folks.

Kudos to whoever solves Wordle today. (Hint: the word isn’t “kudos”)

Let’s fire up the Time Machine to see how espn predicted the Brewers would do this year. They literally gave them a non-zero chance of reaching the WS, so that’s something I guess.

The rare Packers/Brewers/Ravens trifecta for me! Feels like there’s only one part missing that would have made this perfect…

Digger:

Woke up with this joke in my head: I’m going to Coventry to study heavily syncopated music from the post punk era. Luckily I have a full ride skalorship.

So tired of having to explain this to people.

Death, taxes, and the f-ing Marlins Man.

A Working America/AFL-CIO canvasser came to our house today. Never doubt my blue collar credentials.

Congrats, Brewers! 100 wins!

What a gritty win. The Manic Pixie Dream Club strikes again!

Yeah! 2015 Me is vindicated! www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Here’s to all of us who still vote for the bosses as we grill in our backyards afforded with livable wages. May you soon see the light and vote for your own power while it’s easy. We’re close to it being hard again. Our union forefathers bled and died so we wouldn’t have to. Let’s not blow it.

We never got an answer about whether that person was reeling in the years.

Fun Fact!: David Bowman and Frank Poole (from 2OO1: A Space Odyssey) are Gen-X (1970 and 1969, respectively).

Got to see 2OO1 again on the big screen in 70mm over the weekend. It was so exciting to see it in a huge, sold-out theater. Way to go MKE! Anyway, here’s a pic I tried to take of the screen because I’m dumb.

The NYT Daily podcast just referred to Colorado as “the West Coast.”

That the Brewers have the highest run differential (+163) with only one batter in the OPS Top 25 is just nuts. Probably the greatest team of non-superstars I’ve seen.

Miz is 8 feet tall!

Don’t complain about any holidays - that apparently will make you an unelectable monster.

@jdryznar.bsky.social @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social No personnel to speak of, not really hearing a doobie bounce. I wouldn’t put it on the boat. 26.

Automakers are literally advertising the fantasy of driving a multi-ton vanity tank through a public building. But sure, tell me again how ebikes are the real danger to society.

A truly weird Black Mirror episode:

Sigh…I’m batting 0 for 3 when voting for the progressive in high profile primaries.

@discordpod.bsky.social @tarkus1980.bsky.social Finally got to listen to the Fleetwoods Mac episode. I’ll admit that I did not have an “Olias of Sunhillow” reference on my bingo card. 🤣 I did have a Fajita Roundup reference right there in the middle, though.

New York's Summer Streets program is yet another example of how much noise disappears when the cars go away. It's a reminder that cities aren't loud, cars are loud.

The real People from the Sea were the friends we made along the way.

I went to the EAA air show this week, which featured a seemingly infinite selection of interesting, beautiful planes. And all I could do was take pictures of planes that look like they’re smiling:

Are we having fun yet?

No shit, Sherlock: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Let’s ban any commercial featuring children’s high-pitched screaming. I don’t need that. Ever.

How come we only use the word “endeavors” when someone quits their job?

In all likelihood Fox Nation has a special where three ghosts show someone like me the true meaning of the 4th of July.

I love the juxtaposition here:

I’m giving this away for free because I have no skills and I’m not in the least entrepreneurial: A soup-centric food truck called Bisquey Rizzness. You’re welcome.

Today I looked up what “mogging” means. Is it me or is slang sounding more and more like Clockwork Orange droog-speak?
