Daughter 1, recent BA grad in history and poli-sci is off to the library on a sunny day off w/the LSAT prep book. She chilled over the summer after a very busy Spring semester. No idea who's gonna pay for it, but she's determined. 3.95 gpa, + highest recognition in the UMass honors college.

NFL is a joke with these roughing calls. Green Bay been shafted twice today with shyte calls

One of those days

Yeah, you know... a real douchebag

Putin poisons his critics, jails his opponents, detains Americans, and invaded Ukraine—where he has kidnapped children and massacred civilians. Bending over backwards to kiss his ass and salute him as a “humanitarian” is a disgusting new low, even for this administration.

Russian asset? Nahhhhhh

When the rally’s running long and the nachos are gone.

Twatastic

22 year-old John Deere lawn tractor is almost dead. The transmission is only good for flat ground at this point. Treating each cut as it’s potential last.

The aliens are in the white house!

#MoobsBelichick should be very receptive to this...

The long quest to find an affordable copy of the best/worst NFL poster of all-time for my home office is finally complete.

I use this term in the very American way (given that the Brits use this term in a much more humorous manner): Megan Kelly’s a cunt.

The sitting president of the United States just stood before a “crowd” of his supporters & suggested Iran “take out” two American cities, adding that it would be a “small price to pay”, and somehow that’s not the lead story on every newscast this morning. Not even in the top 5.

Makes me wonder what my trumpy cousin in Cardiff thinks.

Damn, hit ‘em with the lookback

Charlie Angus: In just a year and a half, Canadian purchases of vehicles made on the American side of the border dropped 30%. If you take the American export auto economy, Canada’s number one. If you take the next 10 countries and put them together, it’s still less than Canada at number one.

If only Maria Bartiromo were here to see this

Ah, yes. Because why would medical facts be important? Oh, and FYI, in one recent study Half of answers to evidence based questions “somewhat” or “highly” problematic bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/4...

Stir fry from scratch. Trying to do something other than the same damn menu I’ve been preparing for 20 yrs

"ESPN and the SEC made their little pact, and now they’re trotting out their highest paid jackasses to put a late shine on it. It’s a pathetic effort that debases the rest of us." defector.com/this-is-so-f...

Sen. Mark Kelly on Nicolle today: "This is what happens when the country elects a reality TV star as President. He doesn't think he's governing a country. He thinks he's running a production. And when the production starts failing and the ratings go down, he throws the press out of the White House."

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Bless Macklemore for standing up for Palestine. Ed Sheeran is a fake-ass b.

All four supporting acts have backed out of Ed Sheeran’s tour, including his own backing band. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nancy Mace’s legal philosophy: why wait for a verdict when there’s a camera?

Yuuuuup…

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Thou shalt not trust A SINGLE WORD from corporate media talking heads who LOOK AWAY while the president is CERTIFIABLY INSANE.

Well, Piers Morgan is an absolute twat, so...

#TimBrando on Fox just mentioned BC Coach O’Brien as having coached Penn State following the “kerfuffle” at the end of the Paterno era. Are you fucking kidding me?! #Kerfuffle?

🤷🏼

Johnson-less Mike Johnson

So #MitchMcConnell just gets to be dead & no one cares anymore? He just keeps collecting a paycheck, taking unlimited time off & everyone shrugs? I'm a teacher fighting stage 4 #cancer & if I was even 10 minutes late to work, I'd hear about it. If I disappeared, didn't call in, I'd be unemployed.

😕

The Art of Pretending You Never Wanted a Deal.

I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

Katie Phang is out with her latest column, taking apart Trump’s secretive plan to flood the U.S. market with hundreds of millions of pounds of foreign beef, while refusing to say where it’s coming from or who is behind the deal.

If the president votes by mail, then EVERY CITIZEN should be able to vote by mail.

Jon Ossoff found the one button in Washington labeled DO NOT PRESS and immediately leaned on it with both elbows.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

JFC what is wrong with this world? www.salon.com/2026/08/19/t...

Talk about going too far when changing the system. Maybe limit the number of times you can jump ship? I read that he originally committed to Illinois before going to St John's too?
