He’s SUCH a good writer. CARELESS LOVE is in my all-time top five favorite books.

Asking for blurbs is the WORST.

I will gladly take nearly a billion dollars for running a company into the ground.

It absolutely has to be called SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNIE.

My junior high had a 3-3-3 policy for bad kids. You could choose 3 days suspension, 3 days detention, or 3 swats. (They brandished the newspaper rods the library used to display newspapers, so they could get a really good swing and smack.)

Yeah, it ain’t a good look.

THIRD BASE

I was waiting for you to say "The guy playing first base..."

Who?

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

I am also delighted to see that my trash can full of yard waste photographed so well.

Noah's got a good thread on this. (And don't get me wrong here; I'm not saying Dems do nothing--they need to absolutely raise hell. But procedurally . . . man, it sucks right now.)

That would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it's not gonna happen, so long as the GOP controls both the House and Senate.

I mean, it COULD, if Johnson wanted to bring any of the countless articles of impeachment Democrats have introduced to the floor for a vote. But even then . . .

She can introduce all the articles of impeachment she wants, but Johnson and the GOP decide what comes to the floor for consideration. And even if they COULD manage to get something to the floor--and pass it (unlikely)--the GOP still controls the Senate 53-47. The math sucks on this one.

A purple throated hummingbird sits on my birdfeeder.

Spotted at my birdfeeder this morning: the first hummingbird of the season!

Amen to that, brother.

I was envisioning more of a “Queen doing ‘Radio Ga-Ga’ at Live Aid” type of thing, but this will do.

Either would be great, but…

Biden continues to live rent-free in Trump’s addled brain.

So . . . war?

Nope, it ain’t.

As a college basketball fan, I am announcing my intention to enter the transfer portal. My loyalties will be transferred to your team for at least one season, where I promise to root enthusiastically and post on social media about my deep and loyal fandom. DM me.

I tend to agree with your take on this one. I think Craig Brown’s 150 Glimpses did it better—and I even learned a thing or two.
