They elected a Democrat who got sick in September and suspended his campaign In Iowa

Can you imagine the agony these two people are in right now?

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 but it's hard not to wonder if the Republican rout could have been avoided if Trump had talked about renaming the reflecting pool earlier in the race, or if the GOP message machine had more time to push whatever this 4Chan shit they're all posting about Anakin Skywalker.

Early reporting in the Texas Senate race of predominantly Hispanic counties. Cameron County has swung 47 percentage points from 2024.

I toured the original Air Force One yesterday, and it's kinda awe-inspiring to think "Wow, LBJ took a crap here".

Lake Diablo, North Cascades. Below Colonial and Pyramid Peaks.

I am having a particularly frustrating week, so here’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The eruption of Sarychev Peak in the Aleutian Islands, seen by the crew of the space station. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

If Bluesky was really as dead as they say, could I do THIS?? (okay I am going to need this to do big numbers)

There is never anything to be accomplished by attempting to answer in good faith a question asked in bad faith.

Scott Jennings said he just spoke to Lindsey Graham for 20 minutes, and that he sounded great and is looking forward to getting back to work soon.

Went to a Drag Show event at the library to support Pride Month. But the 3rd act came out in Blackface so now I'm conflicted.

Happy Father's Day, Pa. Dropped out to enlist in WWII, went to the Pacific, came back with PTSD, and an ability to MacGyver the hell out of any problem (which my sister and I inherited). We were the center of his world. Aside from Big Band Jazz. Went to see Count Basie at the Aragon and met Mom.

Steven Soderbergh made a little known and underrated movie called "High Flying Bird" where, during an NBA lockout, an agent (wonderfully played by André Holland) played some 4th dimensional chess demonstrating the possibility of this to some flat-footed owners. Streaming on Netflix.
