What's really funny is that Kamala's VP choice is almost certainly going to be a white guy chosen for DEI reasons.

We’ll always have this

So in 1984, I wanted to stay up best bedtime to see if there were any shenanigans on the floor of the DNC since I thought it was the last chance at a contested election. I’ve held that grudge against my parents for 40 years. I hope I can keep holding it.

F*** Manchin. Facebook has consolidated around Harris is a way that Facebook has not consolidated around anyone since maybe 2008. So let’s go!

Expand the Supreme Court on your way out, bro. Just do it. Die historic on the Fury Road

Per Wikipedia, Harris is not GenX. So I vote for Shapiro or Whitney for VP so we finally get some GenX representation.

There goes the best comedian St Ignatius College Prep ever graduated.

We've lost a comic genius. RIP Bob Newhart. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/b...

Bob Newhart, Dean of the Deadpan Delivery, Dies at 94www.hollywoodreporter.com A former accountant, he became an overnight sensation with the release of a 1960 live comedy album, then starred in a pair of fabled CBS sitcoms.

Any local Northwestern Med patients know what the heck is up with MyChart? It’s sending me estimates for procedures completed years ago or not completed at all. This last upgrade was wacko.

But he is not the Man in Finance that TikTok is looking for.

JD Vance looks like exactly what he is: a soft-palmed fancy boy who drives his lifted F-350 to his job in finance

Please let this tornado warning end soon. My teen is subjecting me to Summer League.

“Singing in a non-English language” is my least favorite closed captioning ever. Aren’t there better way to handle it?

Wait. What happened to the piping plover babies? I miss the old Twitter.

I absolutely love Ever more than anyone who doesn’t have a Trust Fund should. But a whole season of The Bear devoted to it is a little much even for me.

Well France apparently just collabed between everyone else to kick a far right party out of the chance to take power, it can be done if enough people want it to be, folks

Kind of feel we lost the plot on this whole Independence Thing. From Serious Eats on July 3rd.

I am very glad I bought the last of the rhubarb at the farmer’s market. That little bubble of flavor on top was to die for.

Anyone know if Dansby will get to watch Mallory in the Olympics? Can he call in sick for a day or two?

I should have been live posting my kids’ reaction and commentary to Independence Day. I am dying.

Waiting for the mashups for Eninem’s Houdini and the TikTok Rhubarb song keying off of Abracadabra. (This is a very niche post for the perpetually online like me.)

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system

Incredible how all it took was a black guy winning 2 elections and they collectively decided that they didn't want to do democracy anymore

Update: carminscorner.com/more-tests/

More Tests - Carmin's Cornercarminscorner.com A recent update. So, because the tumor was of the size that was a close call between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy, the surgeon told me it “my choice!” I’m not sure that’s exactly a definitional Hobbe...

My kid had COVID the same time has another adult friend so they got together to build legos. It was a delight for all of us!

perhaps my most cancelable take is that intergenerational movements are good, older people and younger people have a lot to learn from each other, and the idea that people of different ages should never interact for any reason because it’s somehow always nefarious to do so is weird and bad, actually

I may have to delete FB. Getting this type of ad just because I looked up the profile of plastic surgeon is really shitty.

I hope you all remembered to leave a blank slip of paper under your pillow and put a plate of rocks out for Lottery Claus

I’ve texted so many friends: “Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” takes place on June 27th. Enjoy your day!” Heheheheheehehe. 🪨
