New Hampshire is conspicuously missing. Any idea why?
You misspelled “knob” as “boots”. Odd mistake, but it happens.
Story telling tip. Be careful with ambiguous pronouns. When you told the story of Catherine and Chloe you said “she fell and cracked her skull”. On first listening I thought you meant Chloe. Everything made more sense when I realized my mistake. 😉
Do people actually believe lies like this. I’m an atheist but would never even think to mock people in mourning as they comforted one another in prayer. Only Trump would be so callous to mock people in pain.
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
“Stable genius”.
I got your obscure Johny Dangerously reference a while back. Got me stumped here.
“Four leading officials at C.D.C. resigned the same week. One of those officials said Mr. Kennedy’s team asked him to “change studies that have been settled in the past” apparently to fit Mr. Kennedy’s anti-vaccine views. This is not Making America Healthy Again.”

Sheldon Cooper: “That’s enough of me talking about me. You all talk about me.“
Awwwe. Jetty looks like my dog Wiggles when I was a kid. Irish Setter/Golden Retriever mix.
I heard Garry Kasparov say it succinctly. To paraphrase, if it enriches Trump personally or boosts his ego, that’s what Trump will do. Look at everything through that lens.
I don’t recall how i got involved, but I’m part of an oral pill Covid trial here in San Diego. It’s double blinded, so I’m not supposed to know if the shot or the pill was the placebo. Unless the pill gave me a sore arm, I’m thinking I got the shot vaccine type.
FFS!
How is this an average for a single game? Average of various guesstimates?
Patriots.
Great list. I’ve long though “cultural appropriation” should be “cultural appreciation”. In nearly every case this is closer to the truth.
Tourists.
What was this about? I love Walton.
Trump will likely not ask what a “cartographer” is, and just claim that Newsom made the word up. Seriously, is there any chance Trump knows the word?
We had a double shower. Maybe we should have had pissing contests. Maybe we’d still be married!
Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!
Imagine going through a very public life and saying obvious bullshit on a daily basis with no shame whatsoever.
This reminds me of one of my father’s favorite sayings: “Knowing what is right is different than knowing what is wrong, and feeling right about it.”
If they “throw the book” at the sandwich guy, that would clearly be undue punishment for the crime.
My buddy was in town from across the country. With little spare time he invited me as his “spouse” to a nice dinner event with an open bar. Nobody knew him so it was easy to pull off.
This is also why he continues to wear his pussy hat.
You’re a cunt sir.
What a sad, needy little man.
Same. “Seamstress” would have removed the ambiguity.
Just consider maybe there is no special friend in the sky.
Sounds like Peanuts adults talking.
*”Trump couldn’t care less.”
Translation of Leavitt: “Hey look! A squirrel!!”
I like to say “all my divorces are amicable”. People will always ask “how many?” It’s two, with a daughter from each. Bring amicable is important.
Trump likes putting his name on everything he can. But staying for longer is his dream.
We all know Trump just speaks out of his ass. But in the courts you need facts and evidence. Quoting Trump’s rankings is neither.
Trump was never about facts. He just says shit repeatedly and his minions lap it up.
How would this work? Tax them on their net worth including stock they haven’t sold? If so, is the proposal to tax the same money that hasn’t been a capital gain every year? Get rid of loopholes for sure!

This is like saying 95% of shark attacks occur in shallow water. Most people on beaches aren’t far from shore. On Halloween, ALL the nations children are on the streets.
You must be too young to know Fantasy Island. Trump and Vance were dressed as Ricardo Montelban and Hervé Villechaize. Hervé is a dwarf.
I’ve always been a fan of South Park, but haven’t watched with any regularity in a long time. I’ve seen both episodes from this season. They are pulling no punches!
As if the company, Brazil in this case, has margins that could remotely be decreased by 50% and still be profitable. So dumb. Most companies live on tight margins.
It could also be “middle class” income. Who knows.
I grew up in Vermont and could take French or Spanish. Most took French, me Spanish. But I’m told they learned “France French” even though we were less than an hour away from Quebec where tons spoke that dialect. Oh well.
Love these guys! Anybody seen Manny with grey hair? It ages him so much. Looks way better when he dyes it. So shallow, but it makes me consider it.
Another pretend controversy/distraction. I missed this story and now just saw the ad. Nothing burger.
I think Lysenko may be available for the BLA top post. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenko...
The sad part is that there isn’t anyone in his sphere brave enough to explain basic math to him.
Love Rod Beck! Can you find that clip of him catching a home run bare handed while sitting in the bullpen! Derek Lowe jumped up in shock. Classic!!
Houston fouled out 5 times! Some kind of record?
Brings a tear to my eye.
51 yrs ago today 8/2/74 John Dean is sentenced to 1-4 years for his participation in the Watergate coverup. Nixon resigns 7 days later. His incredibly accurate testimony against key Watergate figures results in the Judge freeing him in Jan. ‘75. Being candid about one’s mistakes makes a difference.
Yet another, “shoot the messenger” story.
This makes me miss Bill Walton. He would have shown up.
Does something this egregious even get a mention on the MSM news?
Blame the messenger. That always resolves the issue.
“If you don’t count the Covid cases the number of cases goes down. Problem solved.” - Donald Trump
I want to see one quote/mention/mumble from any other President who lamented the lack of a giant ballroom on the White House property. This is embarrassing.
When serving as a police officer we were awarded commendation for the amount of patrolling our district we did on night shifts. We were playing Pokemon Go.
I was an insider at Nvidia for years. It was always very clear when trading windows were closed for various reasons. I remember when the dentist of a coworker, was successfully prosecuted for a relatively small insider trading case. The coworker went down as well obviously.
I’ve been unsuccessful in googling if any POTUS, other than Trump, have sued people or organizations, while in office. I only get Trump suing people and organizations.
I’ve known a couple people who, on principle, never apologize. Saying it’s a sign of weakness. Both complete assholes.
The Epstein birthday card is now public. (Trump can continue to pretend it's not real, but that's not the point.) The point: If the card were the worst thing for Trump in the files, why wouldn't Trump now make the Epstein files public? Conclusion: There are worse things for Trump in the files.
You are right. The pitcher didn’t balk, but the pitcher does get charged with a ball because of the actions of the catcher. Baseball is weird.
The TNT broadcast was saying a “catcher balk”, but that’s not a thing.
Bryce Harper should get the stolen base. I read that catcher interference only advances runners who are forced to advance by the batter getting first. Lots of catcher interference nuances I’m learning about in the last two days.
Does Trump even vaguely say what Obama has caught cold doing that’s illegal? Any hint?
I try not to click links merely trying to make the click to reveal what was intentionally left out of the headline. Fuck that. Stop it.

I just wrote the same thing as a Red Sox fan. I’m happy to hear Yankees hatred is all over the country and not limited to the AL East.
I’m with you Wil. My favorite team is the Red Sox and second favorite is whoever is playing the Yankees.
The WSJ merely needs to hire a handwriting analyst to check his signature. Trump signed the evidence!
That answer by Leavitt is perfectly reasonable under any other President. This is not a normal President/Administration. When the attorney general is performing as his personal attorney, that’s not remotely normal.
I know I’m in the minority, but as an atheist, this way of speaking sounds so delusional.
I’m 100% on board. Your work here is vital. There are very few policies, if any, that perform as consistently beneficial to everyone as UBI. Countless trials that all prove effective. I’ve pointed people to your pinned “tweet” with endless evidence of this fact.
Trump is throwing all kinds of shit against the wall to see what sticks.
I’ve been following you for years now. It’s frustrating as all your arguments for UBI are clearly true and beneficial for all parties, to very little policy advances. But you’re preaching to the choir for me. I’m impressed that you keep it up as it must be tough.
I recently saw a video on the history of London. For centuries London has grown and flourished with a very high percentage being foreign born. For centuries with various immigrants and cultures.
YUGE!

Wife picked our daughter's name when she was born - Saila. I've held it in for 16 years until the first time she came home drunk this weekend and I got to sing what shall we do with a drunken sailor at her. Then she threw up on my wife's slippers. It was worth the wait.
