As it's getting to be state fair season, I want to alert people to a potential territorial controversy: The Wisconsin SF (opens this weekend) will have Deep Fried Top the Tater.

Next up in The Bottom Five: the debut single from a couple of teens calling themselves Outkast. For me, what's wild about this is it was a Christmas song. When's it getting added to holiday radio playlists? Give Brenda Lee a run for her money... thebottomfive.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/o...
Outkast—“Player’s Ball”
Entered Top 40: April 9, 1994 5 weeks Peaked at: 37 Here’s the debut from 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Outkast. Was that destiny evident from the start? I don’t know abo…

Seems like just yesterday people were losing their FUCKING minds when the Mamdanis wanted to install bidets in Gracie Mansion. Now it's "only libturds wipe their asses" or whatever

The Bottom Five returns after a 17ish-month dicking around walkabout. I'm not sure this middling Heart song is worth the wait? Next one's better, at least! thebottomfive.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/h...
Heart—“Will You Be There (In The Morning)”
Entered Top 40: February 12, 1994 2 weeks Peaked at: 39 Well, hello there. I didn’t intend to take nearly 18 months off, really. I retired in real life which, in theory, freed up time f…

well I KNEW for a few reasons that I wasn't going to be in a band with Paul Simonon any time soon, but this reason was especially harsh.
finally shaking the rust off. The Bottom Five returns on Monday
Hey, elm tree. This is MAPLE Avenue. Get outta the street.
We took a weekend trip to Omaha specifically to check out their zoo. I didn't take a ton of photos, but this lemur apparently tanning its tummy was especially delightful.

We're 40 minutes backed up at the glaucoma clinic and some clown canvasser is up front bothering staff about switching their electric provider.
h/t to the @coolzonemedia.bsky.social gang for tipping me off to the Corsi-Rosenthal Box ages ago. Very simple, and you probably have 2/3 of the material for this air purifier at home already. corsirosenthalfoundation.org/resources/ho...

For a couple of decades I was told that this was a man from the middle east. So yeah, not so interested in Odyssey casting discourse.
While I'm not sure if there's a MN Expat category at the fair, maybe this is the year I finally give crop art a go. Here is a quick rendition of the Minneapolis skyline, July 2026.
Seems risky for our local shop to carry these. I hear once people try them, they never go back.
OK but why is Cynthia Rothrock fucking up Gizmonic Institute drones? Failed attempt to rescue Joel?

I need podcasters/podcast companies (especially @npr.org shows) to understand the distinction between providing me a path to ad-free listening and the notion that **I Don't Want To Listen To/Support Shows That Run AI Ads**)

Love the Tartan Army, etc., but can the algos send me some videos of brown fans coming to the US and enjoying themselves at the World Cup? I guarantee you that 12 melanated men fucking around on an escalator would have a different outcome.
Spoiler-Free Toy Story 5: Not entirely built around a theme-park ride, but you can see where suits demanded one. Taylor's song: nowhere near Oscar-worthy, but will certainly get nominated. Jeers to whomever named their "production baby" Zealand. Unless their toy is a boomerang fish. #tragedeigh
Ain't saying Disclosure Day is above criticism (it is not). But we watched a 101-year-old movie* last night, so I can't be arsed with takes like "it's like an X-Files ep" or "the '90s called." *Stella Dallas (1925) fwiw
It's weird that a north american Big 4 sports league has concluded its championship, while that league's top-level minor affiliate league still has a week to go (if necessary)
