Leeds United, Seahawks, politics and sometimes painting. Once a year, I re-up on my disappointment with the Mariners too.

The Copa America has done the one thing to make me stop watching. It has made Marcelo Bielsa sad.

Assistant coach:” Sorry coach, we can’t press” Klopp:”Why not?” Assistant coach: “Players are too fat. Plus their parents will complain that you’re being mean.”

I’ve had to watch a few, but I’m now 100% convinced that the new nature documentaries are just random clips of footage with AI dubbing over them. And it’s terrible.

Probably a bit pedantic, but I’m in the right place for it. If we can only impeach a president for high crimes and misdemeanors, and definitionally nothing the president does is a crime, they’re impeachment-proof as well, right?

Oh my God, I’ve been excited about season 3 of The Bear, and have never been so quickly turned off by a show in the season opener. This is painful to watch. Like foam on food. Morons attempting to be artsy creates boredom.

A Tory almost has to go full Nazi at this point. The job market (and Farage) demands it. Not a storied fault, Labour has driven them to it.

Someone in my neighborhood has one in their driveway, and I laugh every time I see it. He could have saved $100k and just passed out flyers around the neighborhood announcing he is divorced, unattractive to women and desperately in need of a community.

I still remember a group of teenagers that tried to save a sick baby bat they found on the ground by carrying it around for a day. They all insisted they didn’t touch it until being informed of rabies, at which point they all remembered they might have and decided to get the shots.

Yeah, there seemed to be fewer gardens with interesting ideas, and a lot more random overgrowth crammed into a small space. Then, having crammed native weeds and so much foxglove into a small space, they invented a theme they thought the judges would like.

I have a ton of time for Monty being crabby when he has talked so much about his struggles with severe depression. I figure we are lucky to get grandpa Monty 9 times out of 10, so the periodic old man crabby Monty is just the price we pay.

Does he have to submit to drug testing pending sentencing? Because that would crack me up. Too much to hope for, surely, but one came dream.

If I have brown liquor in any amount, I know I’m buying a hangover. Not that it stops me entirely, but I have to be in the right mindset and I go in knowing pain will follow. Which sucks, because I love bourbon and scotch.

That’s a clear case where the judge would need to recuse herself. The legal principle at use here is the same as has been at use for most of Alito’s time on the bench.

That’s my favorite legal client call as well. “I’ve done something that, in retrospect, strikes me as potentially stupid and was definitely against your prior advice. Let’s talk about how you can reassure me that my actions have no consequences.”

I’m envisioning you running across a person who is drinking Laphroaig and loudly discussing the comparative merits of John Prine and Thomas Hardy as poets, and thinking “this person has to be related to me.”

I am about 95% sure I just had a lunch at a table next to Kyle Rittenhouse. Either that, or there are two self-important greaseballs actively repelling women who look a great deal alike. My day is worse for that having happened.

Customers can now make a friendly $5 bet with a friend on skeeball? I’ve been doing that for years. Or was it the fact they were mostly actually unfriendly bets that let me get away with it for so long?

I’m assuming the library in question is one of thise Florida library that only has a few bibles, the complete works of Clive Cussler, the requisite Joel Osteen collection and about 5 heavily used VHS copies of Veggie Tales. Everything else has been burned as the incomprehensible ravings of witches.

I wake up, check bsky and immediately see someone claiming James Baldwin is wrong and disappointing for disagreeing with a majority. And that it’s somehow Baldwin’s job to find value in the opinion of the majority. Probably gonna just take a break from the internet today.

I’d go so far as to say I probably did more harmful dumb political things by working on campaigns and knocking on doors for people who, with hindsight, have proven themselves to be morons of the lowest caliber. So I shake my head at the protests, but then remember I’m dumb too.

I’ve found them generally to be aimless pointless exercises of shouting into the wind, undertaken by the dumbest kind of college student. That said, they still should be able to do it, it’s a growing experience, and we’ve all done dumb things at that age.

Neil Katyal said that Trump’s attorney may have blown his credibility. If there is a person alive in the U.S. that’s a bigger expert on blown credibility than Neil Katyal, I haven’t heard of them.

All true. But the follow on point, for lawyers, is that your clients will lie to you. “I would never send an email saying that” has to be up there with “this is my 39th birthday” in all time lies.

Nice to see Biden unequivocally condemning Iran, a country he can’t control, for its military behavior. I’d been assured on BlueSky that Biden couldn’t be clear about his condemnation of a country he was not in charge of when they start committing war crimes.

Pet theory on what would make this Ohtani stuff the most entertaining: interpreter agreed to take the gambling fall on $5mm. Feds, trying to pressure him to flip, have just disclosed to him that there is $16mm missing, and are threatening some higher sentence due to the increased amount.

17 year old kid in my evening art class just asked me if I believed in evolution. So… Texas schools are just really killing it out here.
