Yes, I post interesting stuff sometimes, but fair warning to the weak: Big Brother will be pretty much taking this over until late September.

Barrett originally a little coy about sharing his info that Drew is the target this week to Mallory. Here's the first pass at telling her, and then the second part later where he tells her Dee told him the info. #BB28

Sounds like Mallory and Melody think it will be the spelling comp and are word strategizing. It makes me afraid for this generation of adults that they don't know for sure that "tract" is a word (but it's part of "urinary tract infection" so it must be!), but they don't know WTH a "tract" is. #BB28

Lala airing her have-not grievances at length. BB cuts her off after 2 minutes of solid ranting. She does confirm that she has hit those handles on the sleep wheel in the dark with her knees. Not happy about any of it. #BB28

Temu still cracking off the casual gay jokes/speech, this time implying Drew was banging him and his butt is now loose to Devens, who masterfully plays dumb, making Temu think he has to explain it before he abandons the idea. #BB28

Thog is apparently almost completely delusional. She has no idea she's the mean girl she's railing against. The way she treated Lala, calls her Cruella for no good reason and makes faces behind her back is just one example of her bonafide Mean Girl cred. #BB28

Pooping in front of spouses/significant others is being discussed in the bathroom. They think peeing in plain sight is ok, pooping is a hard no. Devens comes in and they ask him if he and Becca poop in front of each other. He is incredulous they would even wonder and it goes from there. #BB28

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

At 19 years of age, Alex Toth landed work for the Green Lantern book. During this, he became very ill and stressed about deadlines. His mother called the offices and he soon received this letter.

Very good information. Might as well call this a map of concentrated stupid.It's not like we don't know how to mitigate the spread. My family vaxes, masks indoors in public, washes hands religiously, uses wipes in public - none of us have had anything (cold, flu, covid, etc) since 2019. Just do it.

US COVlD Update, PMC, July 27, 2026 ▪️10 hot spots (see Alt text) ▪️Persistent high/very high levels in TX ▪️FL, AK, HI, & the continental northwest picking up ▪️1 in 198 people estimated actively infectious nationally ▪️1.57 million estimated weekly infections & rising (1/2)

The US has 10 hot spots. There are major outbreaks across much of Texas (high/very high). Houston, denoted by the light blue county in the southeast (Harris) has 1-3-week reporting lags at most sites so may be worse than noted. Hardin county, two counties over to the east/northeast, continues to experience BA.1 Omicron-level transmission. The Texas surge is bleeding into estimates for western Louisiana. 
There are 9 other outbreaks: southeast Alaska (Juneau, high), Hawai’i (Honolulu and Kauai, high), north central Oregon through the Washington coast (high), western Nevada (Carson City, high), the Utah-Idaho border region (very high), southwestern Colorado (high/very high), southern Florida (high/v high), Atlantic City, New Jersey (high), and Grafton County, New Hampshire (high). The outbreaks in the Bay Area and Guam declined since last week. Note that the CDC state-level map shows no state median in the high/very high range, which is atypical. Higher levels tend to be more widespread.
