I saw them live front row center at a 500 seater in the Detroit New Center area. They're doing the Season 1 poker sketch where Dave says that he wants to be a woman. He gets more flustered as the others are not taking him seriously to the point where he yells, "I just want to have a period, okay?"

I was going to take these Autumn Joy Stonecrops (thanks Google Lens) down today, but it appears that the bees are not done with them yet.

A bunch of Autumn Joy Stonecrop on their last legs, wilted, tilted, and with only about a third of the flowers remaining. There are still about 5 bees in there. Not as many as last week, but still.

Do you know how bad you have to suck to lose the Detroit News' endorsement as a Republican? Detroit City FC fans are way too familiar with this Josh Schriver clown. His wife was a fantastic keeper for our women's side a couple of years ago. Detroit News' endorsement in MI-HD 66 goes to Ned Zimmer.

Screencap of Detrroit News website.

66th district (Bruce and Washington Twp in Macomb Co. and Brandon, Addison, Oakland and Oxford Twp. in Oakland Co.) Democrat Ned Zimmer of Oxford describes himself as a Michigan everyman who has had to live with the policies that politicians impose. He is preferableq to Republican incumbent Josh Schriver, who has occupied himself in the house with trying to rollback gay marriage and pushing the Great Replacement Theory. NED ZIMMER gets our endorsement.

Welp. A GFCI just saved my life from my careless use of electric hedge trimmers to take down the perennial weeds / flowers in back of my house. Laws, regulations, and housing codes are there for a reason, people! Oh well. I needed a longer cord anyway.

The dialect quiz nailed it for this metro Detroiter. Another question they could add to clarify Northern Michigan/UP from the rest of Michigan is the pronounciation of words like marriage and carriage. It's 3 syllables up there. Mare-ee-ej and care-re-ej. I blame the Finns.

A map of the dialect quiz results woth the darkest red area in northern Michigan and Seattle for some reason.

One of the greatest Sporting photos ever taken. Detroit edition. Four years before his legendary Game 1 pinch hit home run for the Dodgers, Gibby hit a Game 5 Series clinching HR off Goose Gossage, who didn't want to walk him, turning a 5-4 lead into an 8-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Kirk Gibson celebrating his home run that gave the Tigers a four run lead in the bottom of the eighth of Game 5 of the 1984 World Series.

👑 CENTURION I got 105 points. Can you build a 100-point team? Play Centurions: centurions.futi.live

My squad. I have no idea why they have 21/22 Joel Matip at 99 points, but I'm not going to argue.

The team dropped 9 points all season. I am responsible for 9.7 of them.

Almost undefeated. Only 3 draws until a final week loss to Man City.

My fault for letting them fuck off to Ibiza that week.

A PokémonGO friend in Japan knew the assignment. We were able to remote trade hemisphere exclusive Squawkabillies to complete our respective sets.

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if everyone in your entire metro area decided to have a campfire at the same time and also shot off their leftover fireworks? Now I know. #smoke

This is an example of how #PokémonGO remote trades should work. I am looking for regionals to fill my dex and am willing to put my 5th Zamazenta on the line to get a Comfey, which is usually only available in Hawaii. The best part? The Zamazenta is from a raid she invited me to years ago.

Sometimes when you get a #PokémonGO remote raid invitation, you go for the location, even if you have way too many Virizions.
