The headline here is that the headline calls them LIES.

Quote from JD Vance on CNN (via the hill): https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4822658-jd-vance-democrats-schoolyard-bully-attacks/

“It drives home how they’re trying to distract from their own policy failures. I mean, look, this is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff,” Vance said on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash. “They can accuse me of whatever they want to accuse me of.”

Is he this blind? (Rhetorical, of course he is). "Schoolyard Bully" is MAGA's whole schtick.

I finally watched Tank Girl for the first time last night and I was so disappointed. After hearing decades of hype it came across to me comparable to an extended Monkees episode. Pre-teen level humor, animation that pointlessly interrupted the narrative, too much Girl, not enough Tank...

While I'm happy for the women's basketball team win just now, A'ja Wilson talking about how "God was working today" was really off-putting. They won by one point, so I guess that God really hated the French team.

I’m the same, especially with boxers.

It's their own fault because they didn't pray with sufficient fervency. Everybody knows that.

You know what makes me jealous? Everything in the world related to "avocados". And they are now literally EVERYWHERE.

I am violently allergic to them, but everyone else gets to enjoy their amazing healthy fats and ubiquitous presence on menus. My family gets them in smoothies and salads and guacamole.

It makes me sad to miss out on them. And I have very few food allergies, so I feel extra bad for people with really severe food allergies and health conditions. Be happy while eating those delicious, healthy avocados, and raise a slice to me for missing out if you are so inclined.

Remember when Marsha Blackburn was blaming the unavailability of avocados on Biden?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. (I totally do, too.) Meanwhile, people in CA and PR bring grocery bags of them in to coworkers because there are too many freaking avocados.

I never understood Zappa's fixation on the marimba.

May that bun raise the spirits of what looks like a bummed out boyo.

I think that's just a puppy love look. They are very happy and chill together.

Ok, the last documentary I suggested raised some ire. Here’s one that won't: "Who Is Harry Nilsson?" It's on Tubi, Pluto, all the free streamers. Good stuff!

Tell me it has You're Breaking My Heart in it. Greatest kazoo song in all of pop music.

I don't think it does, alas… but I had no idea how many songs I love by “that one guy, don't know his name” are by Harry.
