Might have to boot my kids and make this my home screen wallpaper. #GothamFC

I despaired and doubted my team I admit. I know it hurts for KC but I love that the end of the season is no longer a foregone conclusion. Seemed sewn up for so long. Naturally, I want Gotham to win it all but, if not, will savor today for a long time. Needed that! #GothamFC #NWSL

Hours later and I’m still stunned that Gotham FC made it through. They toppled the giant! I was hoping against hope for an upset this weekend and man, did they provide. But what a roller coaster. That familiar heartbreak of them conceding a stoppage time goal and then the elation of the game winner.

Pinch me. Is this real?!? #GothamFC #NWSL

I'm not the praying type (unless you count the "Jesus Christ, Freida!" I just uttered when reading this update) but I will dust off my long-dormant skills for Dolly Parton. She exemplifies all that is good and kind and we need that more than ever.

Perfectly put. What a loss! I will be reading every tribute to him for the foreseeable future. RIP Robert Redford.

Well now that that’s sorted, I’ll be rooting for utter mayhem in the rest of this weekend’s matches. #GothamFC #NWSL

This one really hurts!!

The Sound and the Strongly Worded Letter

It’s also giving off some serious Tr*mp mugshot vibes. #caturday

Missing cat poster with photo of scowling orange cat

This cat sort of looks like it doesn’t want to be found.

I love this so much. And I was very mealy-mouthed when trying to articulate the really amazing-sounding thoughts in my head. Still happens to this day. Curse that disconnect!

YouTube video by R.E.M. - Topic Untitled (Remastered)

What timing! I went on a R.E.M. kick just last night and rediscovered my love of "Untitled" from Green. It's an absolute gem. youtu.be/KA2n60NoOwY?...

“Bless me Father for I have sinned. It’s been… um.. 30 years since my last confession?

I laughed out loud at many Rudy Giuliani skeets. Like, really laughed out loud. Guffawed may be more accurate actually.

For these and all my sins, I’m really not all that sorry. Fuck this guy. Seriously. Amen.”

Happy Cursing Out Operoo/Konstella/Other School Apps Season to all who celebrate. I refrained from typing "Fuck off" in an AI chat that I kept accidentally launching because the button kept covering the Save button. I shouldn't be proud of my restraint here, but small victories and all that.

Same. Walmart shrimp is a phrase I really didn't need knocking around in my brain.

FDA warns public not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart The FDA is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137.

Not to toot my own horn but I didn't need an FDA warning to avoid shrimp from Walmart.

YouTube video by NOW PLAYING Lardass Gets Revenge | Pie Contest Scene | Stand By Me

Yes! Also things like t“cheesed off” and “No, flip you!”

And the ridiculous abrupt edits! I distinctly remember the chopped-up scene in “Stand by Me” with the crowd chanting, “Lard… Lard… Lard… Lard…” So distracting and absurd.

This really resonates.

I know!! I vaguely remember this when it happened. I was long past the viewing age and I didn't have kids yet so I didn't see it. Love that Sesame Street went there!

The Quintessential Urban Design of ‘Sesame Street’

Every year I watch "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" and marvel at the accurate portrayal of 1970s NYC, particularly the subway in that episode. So much detail! Wish this article plumbed the depths a bit more, but it still sparked great memories and visuals for me. Gift article: tinyurl.com/u2cju2b9

Brown dog snuggling a stuffed lion toy.

It would be selfish of me to not share Coco spooning her lion stuffy. However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also share that the lion has no face as Coco has chewed if off completely. It’s a complicated love.

I’m officially grumpy with this result. No further comment other than congrats Jess Carter and love you Esther! #GothamFc

When you realize we’re 15 minutes away from another Euro penalty shootout

Extra time = bonus time!!! (when it’s not my usual team on the pitch). That said, ¡Vamos España!

“Hi! I’m Coco and my special skill is finding more bones than a paleontologist on my walks. My mom’s special skill is frantically fishing them out of my mouth immediately after.”

[Editor’s note: I haaaaate these special skills.]

#dogsky #dogs

Bittersweet semi-final for this #GothamFC supporter. I’m heartbroken for Ann-Katrin Berger. But that Bonmatí goal was bonkers!

Ecstatic for Esther though (and welcome any opportunity to deny England something nice).

Vamos España! 🇪🇸
