It's Aug. 4, a sad day for BlueAnon folks who believed in an imaginary Aug. 3 deadline for Gov. Andy Beshear to somehow "appoint a Democrat" to replace a "dead" Mitch McConnell or something along those lines.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
What Louisville restaurants have nice dog friendly patios?
There was no note in the package so I don’t know who sent Charlie a care package that included this bunch of carrots toy. He is obsessed with it! So thank you, whoever you are.
I need to become independently wealthy quickly so I can spend all my time exercising and doing enrichment and training with my dog. This job of mine is really pulling valuable time away from those activities and I've had enough of it.
Oh, look, Mitch McConnell is trending again, thanks in part to posts like these. Genuinely at a loss for what they think Gov. Beshear should be doing. Kicking down hospital doors? Hacking medical charts? Bribing doctors to violate HIPAA?
Cancer screenings can save lives. I was proud to share that the Kentucky Women’s Cancer Screening Program is receiving a 22% increase in federal funding. This program provides free breast and cervical cancer screenings and services to those who qualify. More: tinyurl.com/579adprj
me: most people don't appreciate the degree to which technological and social advances have saved us from the back-breaking drudgery of the past me, emptying and reloading the dishwasher: truly I am the modern sisyphus
Sam Neill's two best performances: Jurassic Park and Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
Benoit Blanc (incredulous): Is this nominally august chamber even fully cognizant of how many of its number have slipped the veil?
My current puzzle rotation: From the NYT, I do Spelling Bee, Wordle, Connections and Strands. (I did the crossword every day for ages, but we’re on a break.) Clues By Sam Beeswax Cinematrix (if I stand a chance) Framed Also the the two Hank Green ones, 4x3 and Smush (which is brand new)
Tressie McMillan Cottom (@tressiemcphd.bsky.social) absolutely suplexing the Platner tattoo apologists in the NYT today. My professional life is spent thinking about what makes Americans so quick to shove overt Nazi stuff to the side in favor of political expedience - she gets this exactly right.
All this "state fair" talk reminds me of what I think every year: I wish Kentucky's state fair didn't take place when it is so goddamned hot.
I’ve been told the world needs more Charlie content. So… He just got a summer haircut and looks so skinny I feel the need to ply him with treats! @nottheroyalairforce.cc
Me, pointing to the no soliciting sign Salesman: this is not soliciting it’s a free quote Me: Dude, come on Him: This is not soliciting, it’s a free quote Me: You’re trying to sell me something Salesman: you get a free quote if you just give me your name and number, it’s not soliciting

Is there a “song of summer” for this year yet? Being an old lady who doesn’t use TikTok or listen to Sirius XM has me all the way out of the loop.
Internet, meet Charlie. He’s a big snuggly 4 year old boy. He’s very sweet and affectionate, but hasn’t had a lot of training. It’s been a long time since we adopted Scout so I’ve forgotten some of the struggles and challenges of a rescue dog. But I have no doubt he will be worth it.
What restaurant in Louisville has a really good grilled chicken Caesar salad or wrap? It’s what I need to dissipate the stress in my life.
The shitty weather this Memorial Day weekend feels like a personal attack on me. I am at the pool and it is not even 70 degrees! I even have a cute new bathing suit. Where is the sun? 😩

Please don't tell me that my Coke Zero cans are also not being recycled 😭
kottke.org@kottke.org · 3mo ago“A three-month national investigation by Beyond Plastics found that not a single tracked Starbucks cold-beverage cup ended up at a recycling facility — even when the cups were placed in clearly marked recycling bins inside Starbucks stores.” [beyondplastics.org]
Shavuot, the holiday about receiving the Torah on Sinai begins tonight, and it's customary to eat sweet dairy. But the question of *why* dairy on this holiday is the subject of much debate-- and many great (and some very, very funny) Torah answers:

or: Torah + sweet dairy, an investigation
