Angle Reese scored 0 points in the WNBA all star game last night and got a layup blocked by a player not trying to block it.

----- If AARP opposes something, I'm in favor of it by default AARP to Congress: ‘We strongly object to fast-tracking Social Security changes’
Social Security has just about six years before it may need to start reducing retirement benefits — unless Congress acts sooner. Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of senators put forward a proposal that outlines a process to make a Social Security overhaul happen faster. Now, AARP, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates on senior issues, said it opposes the senators’ bill, called the Protecting Retirement Opportunities and Maintaining Income Security for Everyone, or PROMISE, Act. “We strongly object to fast-tracking Social Security changes through Congress, as your bill would do,” AARP Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond wrote in a July 21 letter addressed to Sens. Dick Durbin, the Democratic Whip from Illinois; and Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana. Durbin and Cassidy are among the lawmakers who introduced the PROMISE Act proposal."Nonpartisan" - we all believe that, right? ----- Young guy with a strong work ethic!
One of the planet’s largest species of jellyfish—the Lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata)—have been making unwelcome appearances on Massachusetts beaches, as reported by the Boston Globe. *** “Lion’s Mane jellyfish are currently appearing in unusually large numbers off Cape Cod,” reads a social media post by the Sandwich Marina – Sandwich Harbormaster in Cape Cod. “While Lion’s Mane is normally seen from late spring through summer, this year reports began in May, with exceptionally high densities observed by mid-June. Similar blooms have occurred in the past, including in 2020. Experts believe factors such as water temperatures and available food sources may contribute to these increases.” Furthermore, the post reminds people to not touch jellyfish—whether they’re on the beach or in the water. It’s generally a good idea to stay away from them, as tentacles can be hard to spot. In the case of a sting, wash the spot with warm water and use tweezers to get rid of the tentacles. You can use vinegar to help get rid of the sting.I would actually really enjoy seeing this creature! Imagine it rocking out like this
Soccer kits aren’t just uniforms, they’re national mood boards, cultural flexes, and straight-up fashion statements that can outshine the scoreline. In the high-stakes arena of the FIFA World Cup, a jersey has to survive 90 minutes of sweat, sprinting, and sliding tackles… while also looking sharp enough to make fans line up to buy them. Whether it’s the canary-yellow panache of Brazil or the ornate black-and-blue drama of Argentina’s latest away kit, these shirts have leapt from the pitch to street style. Let’s dive into the colorful and downright fabulous history of FIFA fashion, the creative minds behind the 2026 looks, and a definitive ranking by moi. The Classics Some kits transcend the game and become pure style icons. Top of the podium? Brazil’s 1970 home kit. That vibrant yellow shirt with green trim and blue shorts, worn by Pelé and the greatest team of all time, is the gold standard.
Close behind:
o West Germany’s 1990 kit, with its bold black-red-gold zigzag that screamed victory (and won the tournament). Designer Ina Franzmann wanted something that “makes a bang,” and it still does.
o Nigeria’s 2018 Nike chevron masterpiece (designed by the legendary Matthew Wolff) remains a streetwear grail.
o USA’s quirky 1994 “denim” kit, initially mocked by the players themselves but now a beloved retro cult favorite.
2026: North America’s Fashion World Cup — The Designers Behind the Looks The 2026 tournament (48 teams, 100+ kits) turned releases into a runway show. The “big three” dominate: Adidas (14 federations), Nike (12), and Puma (11), with smaller brands like Kappa, Umbro, Capelli, and others filling the rest. Key creative force: Sergio Mareco, Adidas Senior Designer of Apparel (and one of the lead minds on the 2026 federation collection). He and the Adidas team (including Matteo Kossman on home kits) infused national storytelling, heritage motifs, and technical cooling fabrics into everything from Argentina’s ornate away to Mexico’s Aztec-inspired home and Germany’s retro farewell (Adidas’s last tournament with Die Mannschaft before they switch brands). Nike’s in-house teams handled powerhouses like France, Brazil, the US, and Canada, focusing on breathable recycled mesh and cultural nods (e.g., Justin Atallian on the US kits). Puma brought vibrant African and European flair. Smaller brands like Capelli Sport delivered distinctive looks for rising nations. Ranking the 2026 Kits (Our Fun Fashion Top 5) Argentina away (Adidas) — The undisputed fashion champion. Ornate black with swirling blue fileteado porteño folk-art patterns. Brave, unique, and pure Buenos Aires swagger. (Sergio Mareco & Adidas team)
France (Nike) — Collars are back, baby! The home kit brings sophistication with tricolor flourishes (very “fashion capital” ), while the away leans into a cool light-green Statue of Liberty vibe.
Curaçao away (Adidas) — Sunny lemon-yellow with multicolored Trefoil stripes inspired by Willemstad’s colorful buildings. First-ever World Cup vibes and pure collector gold.
Japan away (Adidas) — Clean, retro-baseball-inspired elegance. If you find one, buy it!
Uruguay away (Nike) — The “Black Panther” kit. Sleek, superhero-level presence that pushes boundaries.
Honorable mention: Germany home (Adidas) — Last Adidas hurrah: 1990 zigzag throwback done right. Unmistakably German.
From 1930s wool to 2026’s high-tech storytelling canvases, FIFA kits prove the beautiful game has always been fabulous. Rank your favorites and maybe rock one off the pitch! ----- Thanks, Piper -- although I must warn you that any future use of "pitch" instead of "field" or "kit" instead of "uniform" may result in you losing your prime parking spot at Doof Enterprises HQ.

I watched the enshittification of Google search in real time. Early 2000s. I put together a website that was soon ranked on the first page - due to it being a great website for the topic. Traffic. There might be many proprietary metrics they look at, but it had to be that.
When I wanted to find something obscure, a carefully worded search string would bring up content related pages. It was awesome.
And then, like a switch being thrown, it just didn’t work any longer. Maybe they should have broke the search engine into a “most relevant” instead of “pays for page placement”.
They broke it. Then they did something really egregious. They started suppressing relevant information, because they didn’t like it. That’s bullshit. They try to “nudge” you to Only Approved Narratives

In my youth, Harry Carey did White Sox games with Jimmy Piersall. For those who don't know Piersall was an outfielder for the Boston Red Sox whose mental issues were the subject of the movie Fear Strikes Out starring Anthony Perkins and, iirc, Karl Maldin. His mental issues had not disappeared completely when he became the color man of the broadcast. Between that and Harry usually being three sheets to the wind by the Seventh inning stretch, it didn't really matter what was happening on the field, a good time was being had by all.

This year OffKai said if anyone ages 13 to 18 can get a permission form signed by a parent or legal guardian, they could wander the convention general admission area without a chaperone.
And the Fansly booth was placed squarely in the center of the general admission area instead of being kept in the usual 18+ area that would require age verification.

Las Vegas Aces forward Brianna Turner, treasurer of the WNBPA, criticized the idea of wearing USA 250 patches during the All-Star Game. She said the idea must not have been fully thought through in a league consisting of nearly 70% Black women.
“No WNBA players would have been free 250 years ago," Turner wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on June 4. "The majority wouldn’t even have their freedom 100 years ago."

Which are SFW. The young ladies wear tops and bottoms.
And yes, the athletic ability displayed is every bit as much as in traditional gymnastic sports. If not for the association with sexually suggestive entertainment, I think it would be a standard gymnastic sport. They use two poles, one fixed and one spinning. The fixed pole demonstrates strength, somewhat akin to fixed rings, while the spinning pole requires the kind of dexterity and strength used in offset parallel bars.

There was an old fart living on the south end of Anchorage back in the 1960's. He was a homesteader of the old school variety. At some point, the city put up a stop light at an intersection near his cabin. He came out once a week and blew it away with a shotgun.
The city replaced it about 12 times before he got fed up and disappeared, nobody knows where.

The U.S. naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect. As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade, disabled 2 that didn't comply, and boarded 2 to ensure total compliance.
Earlier today, U.S. forces completed a verification boarding aboard Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, and the tanker is now continuing its journey.
CENTCOM forces disabled Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.
American 🇺🇸 forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

Well they are lucky NASA didn’t get involved. They hold that pretty much everything belongs to them, I’m surprised sometimes. At some point they demanded the return of all the Omega speedmasters.

Well I say this. Somebody stole jersey's normal summer. Usually its satan's ass crack out there. I don't even look at a motorcycle in july, sometimes most of the summer. This july has been amazing. I was out the last 3 days, probably 500 miles worth in 3 days, and had to wear a sweatshirt all 3 days, and its been that way all of july other than that one hot week. It actually was cold a few nights. I was coming home at 7pm and the sweatshirt almost wasn't enough. Other than that one week of blast furnace the entire summer so far has been perfect riding weather. Humidity in low 40's, not the usual 90s. Climate change is bullshit, but I'm starting to believe in climate swapping, or replacement, or something. We definitely got somebody else's weather this summer.

They passed a law in 2012 that explicitly granted ownership rights of "personal property" to the astronauts from all missions up to Apollo-Soyuz. After that, it all belongs to NASA, unless they specifically grant it.
In the mid-2000s, NASA started aggressively trying to block auctions and sales of such property that the astronauts kept. NASA had no problem with them keeping such stuff, but then decided to make a stink about it. The law clarified that up to Apollo-Soyuz, it belonged to the astronaut.

Dunno if confirmed/debunked, but there were also reports that an Iranian national was in the car with him. Not sure how this would be known/the guy also isn't either dead or in custody or being pursued.
Sort of related, British domestic intel said that a bunch of IRGC-sponsored terror plots had been thwarted so far in 2026 in the UK. Quite a few, 20? can't remember.
Which made it touching and almost moving that the UK designated the IRGC as a terrorist outfit in the last month or so.

The law excludes any "celestial material", which would be moon rocks. It just says that any personal property (of terrestrial origin, of course) that NASA didn't at the time demand to be returned belonged to the astronauts.

I can't say for sure, but I'm 99% certain that the hammer would've been "mission hardware" that had to be tested and approved by NASA for purpose. Just about everything was, they didn't use anything that wasn't tested.
What that 2012 law said was essentially, unless NASA demanded such things be returned at the time, and didn't have a problem with the astronaut keeping it, then it belonged to the astronaut, not NASA or the federal govt.

Looking it up, NASA did allow each astronaut to carry "Personal Propery Kits", no more than 5 lbs total, and no more than 0.5 lbs on the lunar module for their own purposes. But it had to be itemized and approved.
They did famously smuggle a few items from time to time.

It is now on display at the USGA Golf Museum and Library.
Lore has it he smuggled it, but he didn't. NASA approved it, reluctantly, as part of his personal property kit mentioned above.
NASA thought it would be too frivolous looking, especially right after Apollo 13. Shephard argued it would be of "scientific value" to demonstrate the Moon's low gravity compared to earth. NASA agreed on the condition he use it only if it the mission went well, and after all the serious stuff was accomplished.

Most people (including their own "members") don't realize how undemocratic the AARP is. The " members" have no say in how the organization works. The Board of Directors are self-selected, that is, new members are not elected by the membership, but rather by the existing board.
As isolated from any accountability as they are, it wouldn't surprise me to find that the board has been using the organization as a personal piggy bank.

Brilliant two hour documentary on YouTube,The Wilhelm Gustloff Tragedy, on the history and sinking of the German ship by the Soviet submarine S-13 as Admiral Donitz executed Hannibal to rescue Germans from the Soviet onslaught.
Until the end credits roll. Where Mike decides to deliver a sermon about how civilians keep dying in wars so he lists Myanmar, Israel, Gaza, and Iran among others. And all revenue from this video will go to support humanitarian relief that Mike never specifies verbally but we are treated to refugee scenes and white UN tents in what looks like Gaza.
And with the image of battered little teddy bear trapped in wrought iron fencing during this sermon, his deliberate Leni Riefenstahl use of a CGI bear in the documentary becomes clear. This is Green Helmet Guy levels of propagandization.

Interesting thing going on between ICE and a fellow they killed.
There is a big question on whether the ICE vehicles were marked and or had their lights on. Defense is saying no marked vehicle and no cop lights so the fellow did not know who was jamming him up therefore his actions were reactive to unknown assailants.

Thank you, I appreciate that. BTW you have been in my prayers, when I pray which is not often enough.
I have been incredibly blessed after being quite ill most of my life up to surgery 16 years ago. So I try not to complain much but this one is getting to me. Every time I get in one I get this deep guttural fear it's gonna lead to some kind of abyss, or just a bad flare, but invariably it ends and I really have very little to complain about.
BTW, I made chicken soup today because I had some frozen shredded chicken, and cooked the heck out of the veg and its better than a kick up the ass.

Just saw a clip of Elon talking about what they've learning in designing the Optimus robots.
He noted it turns out humans are designed pretty good for the task. He was talking about the hands, and why they're shaped the way they are, and why the muscles to control the fingers are in the forearm.
The current version of the Optimus hand has the actuators for the fingers in the hand. They're finding out it's far better to put them in the forearm, just like we have.

He said the human hand has about 25 degrees of freedom. The current Optimus hand design has 11. Next generation is going to put the actuators in the forearm and get those 25 degrees.

Baby steps.
First, remove their tax-exempt status (as a "religion")
Then, allow them to be demonized as much as Jews and Christians in all media.
And THEN, be *able* to get that amendment in place.

No one is going to be convinced that Islam is not a religion. It is. It's an evil, totalitarian one.
Merriam-Webster:
religion noun re·li·gion ri-ˈli-jən
1: an organized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
2:: commitment or devotion to a god or gods, a system of beliefs, or religious observance : the service and worship of a god, of multiple gods, or of the supernatural
3: an interest, cause, belief, or activity that is intensely or passionately held to
Islam qualifies on all 3 basic definitions.

I agree with the first part and would add to it, but disagree with the second and will explain why.
Tackling the second part first, I fear that "a generic definition" would be fertile ground for mischief, a bludgeon for the enemies of liberty to abuse. Their fellow travelers in corrupt courts would allow them to twist it to suppress those it was intended to protect.
Setting that aside.
We need two Constitutional amendments: one to explicitly ban Islam, strip its proponents of citizenship, and banish them; and another to do the same for Marxism (or maybe even for socialism in general). They don't necessarily have to go back to the Old Country, but they can't stay here.

No. We don't 'need' a Constitutional amendment in the strictest sense, but SCOTUS is purposely designed to lag popular sentiment. I believe that a Congressional statute would be logically sufficient, but not institutionally sufficient. If you think that we could change the makeup of SCOTUS faster then getting an Amendment passed, then fine.

The Texas Legislature banned them in 2019. When a local municipality tried to shake me down for $100 via a red light camera, they started sending threatening letters and such. Finally, I sent them - a copy of the law as passed by the Legislature and signed into law in 2019.
Haven’t heard from them since. If they send anything else my way, well, I’ll have them report to the TX AG to explain to him why they are hell bent on ignoring TX law.

He's exercising his 1st Amendment right to protest. That's his protest sign. If there is no law on the books against his protest sign being so long, he's got a good case...
Is FLOCK a public company? Do they own the cameras? Do they have a right to be on public property and see whatever they want?
AI says (yeah, take with a grain of salt): "No Specific Laws: In Florida, there are currently no specific laws that permit individuals to block or disable Flock cameras in public spaces."
Does that means there are no laws that specifically prevent a protestor from blocking said cameras as part of his 1st Amendment-protected right of peaceful protest? Hmmm...

I’m one of those weirdos who think the Constitution means something and is worth defending. (I will pause to let you roll your eyes.). Now, while I am 100% sympathetic with the idea that when you let people immigrate here, it’s a good idea that they be put on notice that people here eat pork, women do wear dresses that show more than the ankle, and if you practice your religion and leave others alone, you’ll be left alone. And that you need to conform to OUR way of living, not we to you. I also believe in 1A. I am trying to reconcile the two which is NOT easy. If that offends you…so be it.

Your rights end where another's ends. Freedom of religion does not allow you to murder, rape, kidnap, or otherwise interfere with another's practice of their rights.
So go ahead and worship Moloch if you wish, but don't forget that it doesn't mean the Gov't or individuals can force support of Moloch and his baby killing ways on others. In theory. In practice, Moloch Inc. is big business to the Left and they continue to use our tax monies and laws they create to protect Moloch Inc.

The AARP is a prime example.
SSN as currently designed will inevitably collapse.
This is not a Good Thing for most seniors - or all seniors-to-be. The longer reform is sabotaged the harder it will be to fix and the more catastrophic a collapse will be. But reform is a knee-jerk liberal bug-a-boo - so it doesn't get done - and the AARP opposes it.
Another sign that the AARP is no longer about Senior Issues is..... it has an official policy on Partial Birth Abortion. It - OC - is that any legal limits on it are anathema. Now for decades more than 50% of the pop supports SOME limits. And AFAIK there are few to none 55+ year olds getting abortions of any kind. It's not "A Senior Issue".
But it the reason a decade ago I let my AARP membership lapse and haven't ever gone back.
