🎧 Paul Weller, "66". The Modfather celebrates his 66th bday with an album of modern-English pop. Collabs with Bobby Gillespie, Noel, Suggs, and others add to the usual variety of moods Weller has employed throughout his solo career. From soulful tracks like "Nothing" and "Soul Wandering" to more folkier songs like "I Woke Up" and the near Floyd-like "Burn Out" its a really fine listen - sophisticated and totally enjoyable.

Checked out some Olympic skateboarding. They should add some real life tricks. Evading the property manager, 3 pts. Humiliating the Karen, 4 pts.

Was AG Kamala too soft on crime? Or, was she too tough? America can’t decide, apparently. It depends on who you talk to.

Well, Killer Klowns is on so I guess cooking will have to wait.

1. That is one badass cauldron
2. Wheres the pic of Snoop sparking a fatty off the torch?
3. Celine singing Edith. Lovey.

Watching the re-run of the opening ceremonies and its the Frenchest thing I’ve ever seen. Kind of wondering though, if the parade of nations is in order of local spelling, why does “Etat Unis” still go at the end? Anyone know? Oh and giving Snoop a media credential and a microphone is genius.

Her coaches still approach training that way (we've heard of several girls dropping out after over-training - a former teammate of DD withdrew permanently last week after fracturing her back). If you've got kids in organized sanctioned athletics, stay vigilant and don't be afraid to ask questions regardless of being told to "let the coaches coach". Simone Biles came back on her own terms, we need to let our kids set the pace of their success. #parenting 2/2

Watched the Simone Biles doc last night, which chronicles her struggle to overcome - among other things - "the twisties" that forced her to pull out of Tokyo. There are many revelations about gymnastics in general i.e. the military-minded training process of the Karolyi era (no talking, no laughing, no goofing around) and the almost complete disregard for the fragility of the teenage body and mind. Our daughter withdrew from USAG last year in part because of these tactics. #parenting 1/2

I love the smell of in the morning.....smells like....victory (or dicktory)

Thanks for checking us out and don't forget to count your bullwinkles.

Wife and daughter going to see Olivia Rodrigo tonight - and TBH I am kind of jelly. But I didn't want to be that guy ("who brought their dad???")

Daughter’s 13th bday cake, baked by her and her mommy. Its red velvet, and hand decorated.

This, I promise, will be my last K-centric post today.

Remember this time in 2016? How enthusiastic the party was? We were going to do something that had never been done before (again). The path was clear and all we had to do was watch that orange punk get pummeled on election night.
And then....poof.

This isn't deja vu. Things feel different now. I'm not over-confident..just...confident. Yeah - this is a different vibe. The wave is gathering, folks, Wax your boards. Vote.

The enthusiasm of that crowd (at K's speech)...genuine and fucking LOUD. Remember, Hillary didn't even campaign there. This is probably the first in a long series of very smart moves by this team. Let's go.
