Next, cross out anyone who uses the red flag phrase "common sense" especially when spelling it "Commonsense" because you ain't got none. Next, any who obviously used AI to write the blurb. Finally, if any left at this point, those associated with ACT or IT because fuck those cunts. #vote

Finally filled out my voting papers for the local election. Lots of candidates so I started by crossing out anyone who doesn't live in the area they want to represent because fuck that shit. Then cross out any who promise to lower rates because get real.

And that size is out of stock.

Brand new dugout phone in Camden Yards with the handwritten notation "Big Papi - 1 Phone Box - 0"

I got to do a tour shortly after the new phone was installed.

How are fitness accounts, in the 2025th year of our goddess Xena, still touting specific exercises "to reduce belly fat"? I'm so sick of this shit. YOU CANNOT TARGET FAT.

Broken Eggs, by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1756

Just under the wire, I'M IN!

I loathe that little whistle that plays when an opponent strikes out in Yankee stadium but I LOVE to play it in my head when a Yankee strikes out during a road game.

Them: You can only pass through if you understand American culture

me: fuck the Yankees

Them: Welcome home

In memoriam...

Lawn bowls cancelled due to rain, boo. And not even any baseball to watch.

Deanie went to the vet today (routine appt) and was VERY BRAVE. I, however, started blubbering when the vet expressed her condolences for Marco and asked how Deanie and I were doing.

I can't stop thinking of Hegseth's ludicrous posturing in front of the leaders of the US military. It's a testament to the professionalism and discipline of those leaders that he made it off stage without getting a righteous beatdown. What an utter disgrace and clown he is.

I would love to see any examples of women in the new uniforms. Because if they look bad on men, they will look shitastic on women.

I thought the day I got out of the army would be my peak “happy to not be in the army anymore” day but turns out I was absurdly incorrect. What a shameful, humiliating, utter garbage piece of rotten wad of chew this guy is.

The generals are calling them “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” because of how badly they bombed.

JFC, I posted on Facebook a while back that anyone who voted for Trump should unfriend me tout suite. I won't be fired though, I live in an actual functioning democracy now.

I guess we have to give him credit for this but … Louis CK is your hero?

Thank you! My thoughts exactly.

Saw the ducklings again this morning and there were still ten, phew.
