  1. Any chance Biden announces he is not running for reelection prior to the midterms to possibly generate some excitement on the D side? Fair or not, an unpopular octogenarian in the executive can't be pushing many democratic candidates over the line in November.
  2. Yea, we try to give him a good feeding right before bed and at his first wake up. Last night was his worst night in a while though. Fortunately, neither of us are back at work yet so we can take the day to recover. But even so, that shit wears you out.
  3. Little guy is almost to 8 weeks now. I did not think a task as simple as washing bottles could get so old, so fast. We're going through a bit of sleep regression already. After a short stretch of only 2 wake-ups per night, he has a single 3-4 hour initial sleep and then is up every 90 minutes or so after that. We've got a snoo, so I guess I'll try and let it soothe him back to sleep for 10-15 minutes before grabbing him. Thoughts or advice on lengthening those sleep segments?
  4. Keep it rolling right up to November
  5. Just willingly walking into the furnace with satisfied fucking smiles on our faces. We really aren't worthy of being the dominant species on the planet.
  6. It really is sad that we these absolute nutjobs can now garner enough power and influence to be legitimately scary and not just a laughingstock. We shouldn't have to take this dipshit seriously, but alas...
  7. I believe the concerning thing is all the election truthers running for office where they have a say in how state elections are run. They don't have to be members of congress to royally fuck things up.
  8. Oh I do that as well, but our doberman starts to get a little stir crazy when she's been stuck inside for 12 hours.
  9. I remember playing sports outside all summer long as a kid. It's too bad my little one probably won't know what that's like.
  10. I am looking forward to my 99-degree dog walks beginning at 730 pm rather than 8.
  11. I will bet against the coast. Speaking of the coast, which city population drops below 250k first: Miami or New Orleans?
  12. Jesus, as annoying as it is to watch people run errands in the city in their F250s, it seems like putting pressure on governments and corporations to do anything makes a lot more sense than harrassing individuals.
  13. Breaking: Joe Manchin Still a Piece of Shit
  14. ^^^ My hope is that if DeSantis wins the nom, he is too boring and uninspiring to bring out the crazies who never cared about politics before Trump, in order to balance out any Republicans who might revert to their typical voting patterns after voting for Biden or abstaining.
  15. New video out from the Robb Elementary hallway with the cops twiddling their thumbs for an hour as gunshots continue from the classroom.
  16. The scenes of Howard the last 1+ episodes have been so intense. Showing him getting killed wasn't enough. We then see him stuffed inside a refrigerator and buried with his murderer in a secret drug cave, while Mike asks Gus's guys to drop him in the grave gently, as if there can be any dignity left for him at that point. Gilligan does an incredible job of making an initially unlikable character into one you feel so much sympathy for.
  17. I watched this drama unfold for a couple hours today while rocking the baby. Ziggy's defense held for a couple hours, an unsteady truce was briefly formed, then Mango expertly baited Ziggy away from the bed before claiming it for herself. Who needs TV!
  18. New episodes of Better Call Saul, What We Do In the Shadows AND the January 6th committee from July 11-12?!? It's going to be an entertaining 24 hours. Can we get some commits too?
  19. I'm about to finish The Journeyer by Gary Jennings, historical fiction of Marco Polo's journey into Kubilai's khanate. Very explicit, very entertaining. It's a beast of a book though, nearly 800 pages. Interested to check out his book in a similar vein, Aztec.
  20. Perhaps we can trick the earth into not warming, just like we trick consumers. It's worth a shot!
  21. Hell, I don't think we're strict enough about prohibiting fireworks, much less firearms. Should any individual in the Western half of the country be setting off fireworks in the tinderbox they currently live in?
  22. Too on the nose, Google. https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1544025147694321667?t=1y72EHCzwkUT3P3Tua4r9Q&s=19
  23. No shit, a fireworks show with constant pops and bangs seems like the exact sort of place this would happen. Who is even celebrating the state of America at this point?
  24. Nakashima seems like a guy who wouldn't get shaken by Kyrgios' antics much, so just had to beat him straight up. I didn't catch the last couple sets, but at least one American made the quarters.
  25. Kyrgios has been pretty tame so far today, minus a betwen-the-legs shot for no reason. Guess the shoulder really is bothering him.
