Let's see: NATO expansion: check. Wagner Group mutiny: check. Russia invaded for the first time since WWII: check.

Putin. What a visionary.

The nice thing about capturing Russian tanks *in Russia* is that sometimes you don't have to turn them into planters first. 🇺🇦

Has anyone asked the Marine Corps press office its take on publicly disputing the honorable service of a veteran of another branch, in the same breath as extolling one's own?

The Corps famously has a code of honor. It really ought to state its position on this.

Y'know, if you don't pretend to be knowledgable on matters of which you're not, and don't have time for people who do, that doesn't leave much reason to be on most forms of social media.

August 7th:
Feast day of Dometius of Persia and Donatus of Arezzo; in deference to vulgar practice now merged and observed as the feast of Dominos of Pizza. To those still groaning under the yoke of bitter servitude: if you're not delivered in 30 minutes, you're free.

The great thing about being a grownup AND having an air fryer is you can have egg & chips for breakfast every morning if you want.

The disinfo theme of the moment seems to be that selecting a candidate without a primary is unconstitutional. Needless to say, none of these people can point to anything the Constitution about how a political party chooses its candidate.

I just have this image of the stands suddenly spelling out FREE TIBET or similar on global television

She'll be fine until she wears a tan suit, then wham

How do they know it isn't the microchip telling them to say that?

There's a good deal of coyote activity in my neighborhood these days. A few neighbors have posted flyers advising people about what to expect and how to behave around them. And also this one.

I've noticed recently that the crows on our street not only recognize individual people, but also cats. They always raise a loud ruckus when a certain grey cat is on the prowl, but they're completely relaxed about Stanley, a friendly older neighborhood cat who has no hunting instinct.

I'm still expecting J. D. Vance to accuse Kamala Harris of marrying Prince Harry for his money. Any minute now.

Never forget that Jimmy Carter checked every single christian conservative box: devout churchgoer, southern, farmer, accomplished military officer, family man, happily married once, with simple homespun values.

... and they still crapped all over him in exactly the way they don't on Trump.

I can't help noticing that while the Republicans were hammering on the fact that Biden is a whopping 3 years older* than Trump, they also quietly switched to a Large Print Edition of the MAGA hat.

*Put another way, three-fourths of a presidential term.

The lunatics in the Republican party calling for Biden to resign immediately aren't even bright enough to realize they're saying they can't wait for Kamala Harris to be President of the United States, and want it to happen right now.
