I kept refreshing thinking, "Where alcohol picture?"

Then I realized it's *just* my Friday, not yet real Friday in America. Taking tomorrow off for a Dr's appointment and to get ready to drive with the kid back "home" on Saturday.

I was hyped for weeks about this and then the A/C went out in the car. Went to another guy outside of the dealership, it's a coil (not terribly expensive) but the labor to get to the damn thing, and more freon, etc $2200. So Saturday will be fun and I'll figure out how to make the repair work. Because no A/C in the Devil's dick heat is no bueno.

Still need to talk to the lawyer and Merrill Lynch, I'm a little overwhelmed kids. Dr tomorrow is OBGYN, just a yearly thing but I cant wait to give her my laundry list of bullshit and see if she can steer me in the right direction in the land of no Bueno.

It's been a stressful MONTH and I'm really trying to keep it together for/during Nice Times 😅😭 Otherwise I'm passing out at like 8 pm from mental exhaustion. The plate is full!

Once you see the pudding start to run you know the attic is running short of oxygen.

OMFG! Are there any honest politicians anymore? How do I get into this white collar crime racket. Apparently you can steal with impunity so long as you’re whitw and it’s white collar crime. I suppose they’ll all get a slap in the wrist and never be able to run a charity again. I mean, again, they’re white and connected so yeah. Zero repercussion's for them.

I'm watching an adult female Golden respond to inquiries. This lovely animal is more capable, seriously than are trump's noise makers in her response.

When Republicans aren't trying to sexually assault children, they're trying to steal food and medical care from them. Nothing surprising here.

I dunno, man. I can't escape the feeling that he's just going to take a wrecking ball to The Kennedy Center by the end of September because, if he can't have his name on it, he'll just smash it and start building what he wants and no one is going to stop him.

Hands down, the best appreciation of Dolly Parton I've read is the one by Tressie McMillan Cottom in today's NY Times, "Loving Dolly Was Easy. Understanding Her Was Hard" https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/opinion/dolly-parton-appalachia-legacy.html, https://archive.ph/Hct6y

Ratko Mladić, the ‘Butcher of Bosnia’, dies in The Hague

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/27/ratko-mladic-the-butcher-of-bosnia-dies-aged-84

Ratko Mladić, the infamous Serbian general who was serving a life sentence for genocide committed during the Bosnian war, has died in prison in The Hague.

Hey, ICE, tick tock, mother fuckers!

I didn't know that they kept these low-lifes in prison right there in The Hague. I hope that he hated Dutch prison cuisine.

Got the feeling someone is trying the monkey's paw here.

Kill the 80-year-old with the puffy blond hair! Okay, Dolly Parton dies.

No, I mean the 80-year-old who was in Home Alone 2! Okay, Tim Curry dies!

No, I meant the war criminal! Ratko Mladic dies.

Was Mladic also 80?

JD Vance Has A Major ‘Charisma Vacuum’ Problem - When Marco Rubio has more rizz than you, you’re in trouble.

"The vice president is the presumed front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, but his lead may be slipping. In a new Emerson College/The Hill survey, Secretary of State Marco Rubio performs slightly better in four of five hypothetical matchups. (Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, meanwhile, holds a 5-point edge over both Republicans.)"

While Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Gavin Newsom (D) both had 5-point leads over Vance, their leads over Rubio were 3 and 2 points, respectively. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, led Vance with 49 percent support to his 45 percent. But Rubio flipped the script and led Harris by 5 points. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) trailed Vance by 2 points and Rubio by 5 points. Ocasio-Cortez was the only candidate to lose to both Republicans."

Vance or Rubio is like deciding between an open jar of mayo left on the counter for a week and canned clams.

He can’t even act like a normal husband with his wife on her podcast. It was embarrassingly bizarre how he interacted with her.

He patted her knee like a child would pet an animal they hadn’t experienced before.

Charisma vacuum problem? That’s certainly a fancy way of saying he sucks.

Has any American government agency offered any help or expressed any concern whatsoever over the Nepal flooding? Because if so, I've missed it.

Once upon a time, a helping response like that was SOP for America. THAT'S what makes (made) America great.

When my brother was deployed to Afghanistan, he didn’t get off the plane right away. The sent him immediately to Pakistan for earthquake relief.
