I've never been so happy to see smoke roll in. It just dropped 10 degrees in minutes. It's still 84 in our living room, though.

Natural air conditioning: Engage! My dad reporting from the bluff in Port Angeles:
“On shore here.
4:04 83 degrees
4:19 64 degrees”

To be fair, he was the most respectful cop I've seen in one of these videos in years.

One generation charged onto the beaches of Normandy to defeat fascism. Another generation sent the armed forces into DC because kids did wheelies with an ATV, frightening a human bow tie who’d come in from a Chevy Chase. Who are you to say which is braver?

Seahawks fan confirmed.

80 degrees at 9pm sucks in the land of no air conditioning. At least it's not smokey.

Sounders fan: Wow, man, that really sucks.
Timbers fan: Right?
Sounders fan: Welp, see ya later.

(This was probably funnier in my head)

A lot of debate on here today about criticizing Democrats, but consider that it’s statistically likely that some Democrats are Dallas Cowboys fans. Much to consider.

Dinosaur!

As a DC resident whose city is now being invaded by FBI and military forces in an attack on freedom & massive waste of the proverbial TAX DOLLAR$... I assure you Donald Trump & Co. are lying right to your face about our city, as usual. Violent crime is at record lows. This is a great place to live.

Can’t stop thinking about this incredible take from a few days ago. I want “Whatever The Fuck This Is ‘Til I Die” tattooed on my bod.

What's up?

Here’s the audio of Roger Clemens breaking the news on WFAN that Mariano Rivera tore his Achilles during the Yankees’ old timers game

*refused to commit felonies. WaPo would report a murder on the South Lawn as a disagreement.

Russ gonna get that second ring.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Multnomah Falls or Beacon Rock could be fun. Pleasant drive along the river included.

Final day of the Leagues Cup group stage tonight, but only one of the 36 teams will end with a perfect 3W-0D-0L record: The Seattle Sounders.

“Nobody came”: Hill Country flooding survivors recount anguish, neglect during emotional hearing Residents told state lawmakers about what they’ve lost and the hardships they’re experiencing almost a month after the July 4 disaster devastated the region.

The MAGA-led response to the Texas floods is going great - so great that locals are still finding rotting human body parts in the debris that no one in government appears to care about picking up:

We're approaching a real "do we have laws any more?" moment. All in order to cover up Trump's involvement in a pedophilia ring.

Election results described in skeet Steve Haverly 2778 15.25% Jesus “Jesse” Carlos 2091 11.48% Whitney Stevens 2618 14.38% Anthony (Tony) Ginn 531 2.92% Anders Ibsen 6503 35.71% John Hines 3637 19.97% Write-in 54 0.30% Total 18212 100.00%

Tacoma: Looks like we're getting Anders Ibsen vs John Hines for mayor in November.

Stronger than expected showing from Stevens. Haverly and his supporters have to be disappointed with his 15% showing, after being in the general election last go round.

My theory of change is that local elections and civic affairs are the place to focus your political engagement.

School boards and school board races are a great place to start.

Just crashed my bike on South Tacoma Way. Got close passed by an angry driver when I had to take the full lane (thanks bike lanes that end at intersections, you're the best 😡)

This is a policy choice, Tacoma.

When Gandalf returned to Helms Deep in Two Towers my entire theater stood and cheered.
