I'm holding out for CyberTruck 2.

When you hear the phrase "Abortion is not health care", do you think 'hate speech'? Why not?

#ESPN SportsCenter featured Bronny James' first basket and assist and 2-9 shooting in a summer league game. No post-game interview, however, with #ABC personality George Stephanopoulos badgering James on when he will be withdrawing from the #NBA.

This week's Slate Money podcast discussed Warren Buffett's foundation plans. Apparently his legacy is to ensure that his $138 billion estate pays no taxes to the Federal Government. That's it. Nothing else.

In the 60s, an ad executive named Stan Freberg produced comedy albums with humorous looks at events in US history. Here's his cut at the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Sounds quaint nowadays. Enjoy.

ESPN is facing tough times: Joey Chestnut is gone from Nathan's hot dog eating, the most interesting #MLB teams are Philadelphia & Baltimore, the Celtics are boring, and the Lakers are mediocre. Oh yeah, and US men's soccer can provide 10 minutes of discussion but not knockout matches.

I frequently watch movies on national holidays, usually pertaining to the reason for the day. On Memorial Day, I make sure to view 'The Americanization of Emily'. For this year's Fourth of July celebration, there will be a double bill of '1776' and 'No Country for Old Men'.

Only two ministers in my churches were ever dismissed. One was a youth minister who assisted 18yos to file conscientious objector status at the end of the Vietnam War. The other advocated for liberal causes. That left me to wonder about the secrets of those who remained.

Op-Ed: Democrats knew there was a problem with the Supreme Court starting with Taney and Dred Scott. Why didn't Democrats act after the end of the Civil War?

Memo to Ms. Owens: Science > Mythology

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

Great 4th of July for the British Empire: UK hosts a General Election for its Parliament as the US Supreme Court begins an apology tour to the Monarchy.

The Chicago Sky #WNBA game is more compelling than the Chicago Cubs national broadcast. What happens to #MLB after the Boomers pass?

Help me w/ an #NBA question. His new Dallas Mavericks team could not play effective defense against the Celtics. So the Mavs hired Klay Thompson for 3 years/$50M after his defensive skills have fallen off.

2 lessons 4 Biden from SCOTUS v Lincoln: 1) After Taney & co. ruled that Lincoln could not suspend habeas corpus, he told the Court to pound sand 2) After "some said" he should dump Grant in favor of an 1860s Dick Durban, Lincoln said “I can't spare this man–he fights.” (Bat phone for Whitehouse)

I would call Dick Durban the Bowie Kuhn of the US Senate, but I don't like to speak ill of the dead.

Uruguay defeated the #USMNT 1-0 despite its coach being suspended for the match. The US had to win to advance in the tournament because it lost to lowly Panama after a US player lost control, struck a Panamanian player & was ejected. Time for a new US coach who can actually manage his talent?

USMNT crash out of Copa América after contentious defeat to Uruguaywww.theguardian.com The US were eliminated from Copa América with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Monday night, a defeat that will increase pressure on coach Gregg Berhalter

Since #Olbermann brought up his name this morning: I met reporter Ken Delanian outside the Supreme Court just after he joined #NBC News. My friend had referred to him as 'the Talent'. I do remember him being a person who looked right through you in search of somebody more important to connect with.

Most people I see don't understand the Supreme Court just damaged our lives. (Folks are busy, & NPR's favorite Court stories were about the fancy robes & RBG's birthday.) Dems need a 2-3 sentence elevator speech that describes what the Court did, the effect on your life, & how Dems will fight it.

"If people fear that the Supreme Court is political.": Democrats before November must clearly explain to voters that the Court *is now* political and aimed at taking away the freedoms of women, immigrants and new Americans, LGBTQ+ citizens, liberals, people who want clean air & clean water....

Lincoln ignored the 2nd most corrupt Supreme Court's ruling on his suspension of habeas corpus. He claimed that his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution required him to take these actions. 1/

How is ignoring the Supreme Court not an official act?

The Supreme Court and 11th Circuit must include at least one of the Americans believing in human-dinosaur cohabitation. We will be finding out how many when post-Chevron rulings appear next term.

According to a 2024 Yahoo News poll, 41% of Americans believe that humans and dinosaurs once lived on Earth at the same time. The poll asked 1,000 people the question, and 14% responded "definitely", 27% responded "probably". My response is how did we get so stupid?

W/ usurped power comes a failure to perform: After Chevron. SCOTUS will get its tips from energy & polluting firms by gutting the administrative state. But a flood of regulatory cases will follow. As is, SCOTUS took only 3 criminal appeals the last 2 sessions, & its gun control shows sloppiness.

This week's Ryan Rasillo podcast features a discussion with Dave McMenamin about LaBron James's son Bronny being drafted by LBJ's Lakers. I realize I would like to follow the life, dreams, and fate of those drafted in the 2nd round--the famous & the obscure.

Bronny James to L.A.: History and Criticism of the Pick. Plus, Dave McMenamin on the Lakers. - The Ryen Russillo Podcastpca.st Each week, Ryen Russillo will break down the biggest topics in sports.

As fmr. MO Sen. McCastle declared post debate that Joe Biden must resign from the ticket, I 1) thought about her last lackluster campaign 2) realized she had nada to say about CNN fact finding 2a) or Trump's lies 3) recalled a Wed. post that Rep. Bowman won't get an MSNBC job. She is so fortunate.

Keith Olbermann cites Dana Bash, Jack Tapper, and CNN executives for failing to fact check the more than 30 lies uttered by Donald Trump in last evening's debate.

EURO 24 Group F offered this afternoon the best and worst in international football. Georgia in its 1st major tournament beats #6 Portugal 2-0 and advances to the knockout stage. Meanwhile, the referee lost control of the other.Group F game, issuing multiple red and more than one dozen yellow cards.

Whenever we are driving on the highway and see a Hyundai Ionic, my travelling companions crain their necks and grunt approvingly.

oh my god I finally saw a cybertruck and without thinking yelled what the fuck
