There are four people caught between the moon and New York City.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Let’s light this candle! #ArtemisII

Gordon Lightfoot — “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”

The stupid is strong in these people. 😖

Sigh. So tired of TikTok people writing ‘news’ releases.

“North by Northwest” — Dir: Alfred Hitchcock

Favorite ‘No Kings’ sign
seen here in Minnesota:

MORE FISHING,
LESS FASCISM.

Overheard minutes ago:

Guy: “Where’s the smoking room?

Nurse: “You can’t smoke anywhere in a hospital.”

Guy: “When did they start that?”

🙄😖🧐

OH: “You know Margo? She has 10 children. She’s very religious you know.” 🙄

Absolutely true.

Used this very example in explaining Socialism to my right-wing in-laws.

“I am heading for a time of quiet,
When my restlessness is past,
And I can lie down on my blanket,
And release my fists at last”

I see the boxelder bugs are making their presence known on this wonderfully warm, sunny day in our Twin Cities.

Brandi Carlisle is covering Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited” as part of her encore. Wow.

Take that ICE.

I hate to see the Olympics end, but at least I won't have to watch those promos for "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins" anymore. Absolutely godawful.

ICE has not left the Twin Cities.

Yes.

Note that I did not receive credit for today’s Spelling Bee pangram, but I should have.

Flag football added to the Summer Olympics? What’s next, marbles?

All of us.

Nothing like being in the hospital and hearing some lady scream at the top of her voice “Goddammit, somebody pray for me!”

Wife doing NYT crossword.

Her: “Embarrassing items to have revealed on an airport X-ray”

Me: Penis?

Her: Nope, not long enough.

Me: 🙄
