Retiree. My cats run my life. They could do a better job of it, but they're cats. 😸 Also a long-time Detroit Lions fan. I don't blame my cats for that. Hello to any #UglyDogs from the old place. I'm not here to see how many followers I can get.
The very wealthy have always been a problem.
100 years ago news@100yearsagonews.bsky.social · 28m agoAug. 5, 1926: U.S. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon has a private meeting in Rome with Italian Prime Minister Mussolini on subjects including Italy’s debt repayment to Washington. Mellon says the dictator is "making a new nation out of Italy" and is "one of the world's most vigorous personalities.”
Just wheeled the trash out for tomorrow and, Great Googly Moogly, it's humid out today. Dew point 70. Temp about 75, fortunately, but the air is dense. I didn't order this! Send it back! 🫠

Now they're talking about Oreos. 😄 Oh, okay, Lions training camp news coming up.
Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed@charleshbryan.bsky.social · 6h agoI used to avoid sports talk radio, but I've really grown to enjoy Detroit's 97.7 WXYT, because you just never know when they'll go completely off-topic. They've spent at least a half hour this morning talking about kids' birthday parties and why gifts don't get opened at them.

Well, I see that the Tigers had another West Coast party last night, and are now 1.5 games out of the Wild Card. ⚾🐯 This crazy ass team.
Cookie Monster is singing at Wrigley during the stretch. 😄🍪

Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed@charleshbryan.bsky.social · 17h agoThe Cubs' starter, Javier Assad, pitched a very nice one-run game. Leaving in the top of the 6th. Going to have to switch over to the Tigers soon, but I'll be asleep before it ends. ⚾🐯🔱

Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed@charleshbryan.bsky.social · 18h agoHa. Gave up a home run to Dansby Swanson. ⚾🧸
I don't really care how Skubal does now, but it is a chance tonight to listen to the Cubs radio broadcast on the MLB app.
All they need is Saul Goodman calling out bingo numbers.
Katherine Dailey@kdailey.bsky.social · 19h agoThe scene at the Perry Johnson watch party, which started about a half hour ago.
It's strange to see the votes for candidates who dropped out, but it's possibly early from early ballots.
Bridge Michigan@bridgemi.com · 18h agoI hope everyone who had elections today had a chance to vote. My little township was surprisingly busy this afternoon. 🗳️

I thought that I knew this one, but nope, completely forgot about the correct answer.
Michigan Advance@michiganadvance.com · yesterdayMichigan Advance Trivia: Who was the last Republican elected by Michigan to the U.S. Senate? Check back later for the answer.
I have to remember from now on when I see a prompt to post "best song lyric ever" to go with: "Is he strong? Listen, Bud, He's got radioactive blood!"
Oh, so Casey Mize is gone, too, off to the Padres in exchange for a couple of pitchers who aren't yet MLB ready. I want the team to reach the post-season just to spite President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris and owner Nepo Baby.
Example ten thousand in "Don't like athletes": A couple or so weeks ago, I thought she was kind of funny for being a finger-pointy snot during an in-game spat with the other team, and then this shit happens.

If fun, likable characters involved in solving a mystery (with juuuuust a touch of the extraordinary, a serving of suspense, and a dollop of danger), this book is for you. Yeah, you, right there, you. One of the few books over the last few years that this easily-bored reader read straight through.

Again, I say: ESPN should just show games. The whole "daytime schedule" is just one dumbass blowhard after another, except for Mina Kimes and maybe Dominique Foxworth, who I watch on YouTube. The rest? Save money and cut them loose.

I'm about a couple of replies away from checking that "only followers can reply" box. Oh, why wait?
