What do both Kansas in September and your beloved dead mayor have in common? Astoundingly, inexplicably, unnecessarily hot. 🔥

I have a weird hail mary ask. Do any of you happen to have a April 1999 Southern Living magazine? It contains an article I need photographed for tomorrow if possible, and I have been down every research rabbit hole imagineable. Will follow you to DM details. 🙏♥️
I’m reading a history of NPR and the author definitely has a thing against women.

I am giving serious consideration to renaming the Missouri River the "Jayhawker River." Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Rasputin Swims the Potomac: A Novel
ONE OF LITHUB'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2026 • NAMED A BEST BOOK OF SUMMER BY THE L.A. TIMES & KIRKUS"A comic masterpiece. The current administration is finally getting the book it deserves."—Kirkus (Starred Review)From the award-winning, bestselling author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk comes a biting satire of American politics and a searingly intelligent novel about the cruel absurdities of contemporary life, centering on a world champion professional wrestler with presidential ambitionsReporter Clarence Thomas Jr. is looking for a great story, former country music teen star Faith Spack has parlayed her fame into a job at the White House, and the two-term incumbent president is campaigning for a constitutionally dubious third term.After an outbreak at a campaign rally, a mysterious new pandemic of “weeping sickness” sweeps the nation, threatening the president’s hold on the Oval Office. Desperate to retain power, he enlists the mystical pro wrestler Rasputin to help ensure his reelection and guarantee additional seasons of his presidential reality TV show, The Real West Wing.But as Rasputin’s appeal threatens to exceed the president’s, and the wrestler’s supposedly supernatural powers start to seem like the real thing, the campaign finds itself trapped in a spandex-clad destiny no number of executive orders can control, one in which both Clarence and Faith are compelled to play increasingly large parts.Hilarious, compelling, and tragically relevant, Rasputin Swims the Potomac is both an escape and a warning, a scathing satire that explores the twists and turns of American democracy as it hurtles toward authoritarianism.

Good morning to everyone who hasn't ever hidden in an airport catering truck.
Have I watched or intend to watch the shows they talk about? Generally, no, but I love listening to them talk about how TV is good.

Last Dog Days today, summer staff finished today, and teacher start tomorrow. Summer should end after my birthday.
The neighbors on both sides of us are moving and there’s a lot of poorly guided backing up of trailers and a lot of procrastination going on.
