Pretty, but not so fun, as I was trying to recharge my car's (1.17 yr old) battery for a while, after trying and failing to locate whatever parasitic leak is draining it.

I like a lot of things. Other things, less.
Hey, it's not bad out this morning. Satan's Butthole won't be clapped down over us for several hours today!
There’s a guy, great king, incredible king. Prester John. Scepter made of emeralds. Descended from the Maggie. Sent me a letter, beautiful letter, tears in his eyes. Begged me to let him help open the strait, big strong guy. I’m giving Iran 24 hours to comply or, Prester John, I might tell him yes.

I'm just never that worried about the activities, but mebbe I should be
Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.
Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.
No sports owner should ever get a public dime for an arena ever again. It’s an atrocity.

Skyline, we are 38% of the way thru this shit. We are making it.
People watching before (and I never go to these) a parade. Mennonites on electric bikes just zoomed by on the route before the main event. Earlier saw a dude drive by with a green parrot on the handlebars of his bike.
Laughing Seagull playing the fool. An adorable juvenile. Yelled a lot waiting for someone to come feed him.
Haven't had blackberries this summer. Critical error!
“Does your skull shape match your income? What, exactly, constitutes a racial slur? Why are babies so tasty, and why won’t the government let us eat them? All this and more, coming up next, on 60 Minutes.”

Why is he calling it a "Triumphal Arch" when "Arch of the Deal" is right there?
Don't know what this plant is, but it really, really is
Mirror in the bathroom at Audi Field had this sticker (any many, many others) on it.
This is when we were all yelling at the ref that it was obviously a pen. Note the numerous projectiles the supporters sent down to the field to exhort him
Went to the DCU-TOR game, which turned out to be a 2-1 win! My 18 y.o. and I were in the supporters section, so got showered by beer 😆. Great time. He wanted to go to that section back when he was a sprog.
First time in supporter's section at this stadium. Been so long since I went to a game at all that they have *new* chants
The Science comment on the supposed justification of the Trump assault on science funding in the US. “This is all bullshit”
Derek Lowe@dereklowe.bsky.social · 2w agoThoughts on the various Trump administration proposals to revamp US science funding - and what they all have in common:
you just know he sees countries as “good tits and ass / bad tits and ass” and treats them accordingly
