Well, there's always next year.

No fair-weather fan here; I support the Cubs in good times and bad.

Good luck to the Padres, who were excellent in every way.

No. Fuck no.

I expect this type of thinking from Trump and his followers, but who is the fuckwit in MLB who proposed this, and what is his/her home address? Asking for a friend.

I'm watching "War Games" on TV and feeling very old.

Matthew Broderick has a monochrome monitor, dot-matrix printer and dial-up modem. As I used to.

And he does research on Falken by going to a library, looking at microfilm and thumbing through the card catalog. As I used to.

I'm relieved Diaper Don didn't shuffle down to the field and show the country how little he knows about college football.

On the other hand, having Johnny Knoxville and Pat McAfee on the set at the same time is pure Idiocracy.

Freddie is the handsomest boy.

And, happily, a good stepfather to the kittens who recently joined our family. Not jealous of them at all. They're playmates, not rivals.

If Pedophile Trump wanders onto the College Game Day set in Knoxville today, I'll never watch ESPN again. Never.

Chill on the sill!

Mark my words: if the MSM continue to ignore Trump's public events, he will stage another assassination attempt, to show them the error of their ways.

Trump’s original plan for the triumphal arch was to allow tourists and tour groups to go up to the top where there would be an observation area. Now it is apparently going to be an area for snipers. Or is it both snipers and tour groups together?

Impeach Kriegsminister Pete Hegseth. Convict him. Prevent him from ever again holding federal office.

Then do the same for Blanche, Kash, Markwayne, RFK Jr., and the architect of this whole shitshow, Russell Vought.

Holy shit! Texas, down by 17 at the half, rallies to beat Ohio State 24-23 in Austin.

Equally enjoyable: Texas fans disrupt a pregame interview with a certain US Senator by chanting, "Ted Cruz sucks!"

Never forget that on 9/11, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, Donald Trump gloated on local TV that he now owned the tallest building in Lower Manhattan.

He's not a hero. He's a fucking sociopath.

Twenty-five years ago today, I watched as a skyscraper, atop which I had walked as a teenager, fell to the ground, the result of a terrorist attack. Its twin tower collapsed soon thereafter.

I'll never forget the confusion, the horror and the sadness of that awful day.

Freddie practices day and night with one goal: qualifying for the Olympic diving team in 2028.

He even sleeps in the pike position.

We lost Dolly and Gloria in back-to-back weeks.

Meanwhile that fat Adderall snorting cheeseburger guzzling child rapist is still waddling around.

There is no God and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be.

Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

I work at an animal shelter, so my shoes (and the rest of my clothes) smell like dogs.

Our kitten Cashew never has seen a dog, but she likes the way they smell. The scent of canines sends her into dreamland.
