I'm a voracious reader. Patterson lost a great deal of credibility with me when he wrote a half-assed account of the Idaho 4 murders about the college students murdered by Kohberger. It was hurried and inaccurate. Huge disappointment. I'll check out the reviews of this novel before buying it.
Last World Cup Championship ⚽ Argentina 🇦🇷 2022 France 🇫🇷. 2018 Spain 🇪🇸. 2010 England 🏴. 1966 Of course I'll be pulling for my ancestral motherland, England, but not Harry Kane. 😡 He is evidently Trump friendly. That is unforgivable.
What.. The new "luxury" Air Force One has a pop-up flag over the cockpit?! I've haven't seen this trash before. 🙄
Random. It may have escaped the notice of most Americans, but the Treasury Department has eliminated the penny. It is no longer being minted in the US. Good riddance.
Ugh. Starmer's voice. Sit down already. (I am envious of how quickly England can get rid of a PM they don't like.)
Fox Sports. Try reading that score from across the room. Display of white on almost white is not good design. 👀
We were in the red circle today. Thank goodness it's over. We did have to sit in the tornado "nest" for a few minutes. 🥴 The storms have passed to the east of us. It's been an active storm season. I worry what El Niño will do to us. www.severeweatheroutlook.com/2026-06-11/
I hope all those GOP Trump enablers are suffering from having to stand up in the Oval Office while Trump rambles on with his nonsense. May they suffer foot pain, back pain, hip pain, bladder and digestive discomfort. They deserve it.
Random. Legendary American dancer and choreographer Isadora Duncan was killed in an accident in 1927 when her shawl became entangled in the wheel of the open air car in which she was riding. Below left is an image from the movie about her life.
Even though it's commemorative, the US Treasury is planning a new currency bill defaced by the image of a felon, insurrectionist, sexual predator and twice impeached living president. Honor is fleeing this country. 🥹
How ironic that Trump praised Chinese roses and Xi offered to send seeds. Was he suggesting that the Rose Garden, destroyed by Trump, should be rebuilt? 🌹🤣
FFS. Musk and Trump each brought one of their offspring with them to Beijing summit.
72 and 79. Trump looks like a blob while Xi has good posture, a normal size bum and doesn't shuffle.
Ted Turner put his name on lots of things too, but that's about the only thing they have in common.
Just in case you're not from New York and don't know the history. Knickerbockers were Dutch settlers known for wearing short pants.
