@jordanjessego.bsky.social my podcatcher app asked for a review and here it is

It's world cup final day. Here is one of my favorite possessions, my very own pool towel from the 1994 world cup summer. It's survived several swim teams, several pools, several moves, several "accidental" borrows over the years. It also barely absorbs water but says made in the USA on the label.

Pro tip: it's spelled d-i-a-r-r-h-e-a.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Thinking about the Strait of Hormuz got me thinking about how I was never straight with you. When things got serious, I ran, and I’m sorry for that. I hope you’ll make this deal and we can get back to being us. xoxo

Kinda sad it went straight into the trash before it was even announced. Poor Pam Jo. The Dow was almost back to 50,000 dollars.

Remember who you're fighting for !

I need to speak to a unique manager

Now OpenAI says it will be spending $600bn on compute through 2030, a year when it says it’ll make $280bn. Weirdly it says it made $13.1bn In revenue in 2025, even though Sam Altman said in November it was “way more than that”! www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/o...

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA: “Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH” Please share everywhere!

Savannah didn't buy her mom a camera subscription? Come on.

Ridiculous that Miami is playing in Miami for the national championship and they still couldn't sell out the game. How expensive were the tickets?

And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed. "We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

So when can you start

@nevernotfunny.com I have to just say that Buccees is not a truck stop. They specifically don't allow trucks so no need to worry about getting gastro issues in the back of the 18 wheeler

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Too bad, so sad.

This Week's Onion Magazine:

almost as though…and stay with me here…we have the answers to the test

@jordanjessego.bsky.social without a vase base, without a trace

Damn you AI. Why are you so bad at this?!?

Wait a damned second!

I just realized all the "kill all pedophiles" car decals are gone. Used to see them all over rural and suburban Texas but suddenly everyone has scraped them off.

@jordanjessego.bsky.social it must almost be August!

An American who moved his family to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” is being sent to the front lines despite being assured he would serve in a non-combat role.

I'm borderline anarchist but this is honestly too far.
