Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

We have a laundry chute that goes to the basement. Right now the pile of laundry under that chute opening is hilariously high. When I was a kid, I was kind of judge-y toward my friend Robby's parents because their laundry room always had a giant backlog of dirty laundry. Now I get it...

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

If you're having trouble visualizing 57 men ignored an attack on another human, this might help. 57 people is 11 basketball teams + 2 5 football teams + 2 A school bus full of children Four 12-person felony juries, plus nine people. That's how many men failed to help this poor woman. #Cornell7

a number of people seem to be upset that their niche foreign television shows are not on a list of top shows published by an American newspaper.

Joel A. Machiela @machiela.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Any list without Pushing Daisies is a crime. So many shows on that list are just "awful people being awful, but the acting is so good!" and that's just not compelling to me.

okay, fine, I'll go do some weeding. I've been waiting for the sun to go away, but despite a cloudy forecast, the sun's presence has been persistent. I hate doing yard work when the sun is out. So basically I don't do yard work in the summer.

It will never not be in my head that my grandfather's doctor basically told him he had to stop watching White Sox baseball because it was hurting his heart--stress on top of hypertension and all that. My grandfather played minor league ball before wwii--some regional Chicagoland farm league...

This is Willoughby. He is an unrepentant back porch pooper. His preference is one main piece of poo two or three feet from the back door and then a few more pieces of diminished size scattered around the porch.

Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’
