Anyone set up a Threads account yet? My inclination is not to do so, as I don't do IG or FB to begin with. I'm not trading one azzwipe billionaire for another.

Ever had that first cup of ☕ and want to go straight back to bed?

Eloon or Zuck? The Hobson's Choices that online life provides are sometimes problematic.

Flying cars: Yes or No?

An Amber Alert just went off on my phone during some quiet time and made me jump out of my skin.

And so another week begins. I'll savor it. They come faster and faster as the years pass. If there's any good news in that process, you learn what's important and what's not so much. ☀️

Congrats, Rickie Fowler! Anyone whose been paying attention to his resurgence this year knew a win was coming sooner or later. Very happy for him. He's put in the work to get back to form. #CoSoGolf

Here's a stunning recap of OceanGate's Titan, billionaire owner Stockton Rush as well as a supporting cast of characters who are dodgy, pragmatic and / or heroic. A great read for a lazy Sunday which puts a lot of the disaster in context.

Hey, golfers - #CoSoGolf is the only tag you need to brag. ⛳

Eloon is tanking twitter on purpose. There is no other rational explanation. The platform was already bleeding ad revenue, and then with the fake ads over the past couple of weeks, there's not much of a revenue stream left besides "verified users".

(While I'm thinking about it, if you're a noob here, consider going pro. I've tried most of the newer alt social media sites, and #CoSo is, IMHO, the best of the bunch.)

Ginni.

That's the toot.

I don't go to theaters anymore. I'm making an exception for Oppenheimer, but it will be in the middle of the week, earliest possible showing. I'll be situationally aware before, during & after. Damn shame what it's come to.

The Plains Theater in Roswell, NM closed many years ago. My memories reside mostly in the balcony seats. But I digress.

The theater has been repurposed as the UFO Museum in Roswell.

A lot of liberal accounts are latching onto former GOP congressman Joe Walsh, and acting like this guy is one of us. Just a reminder: the dude was a founding member of the insurrection caucus, who was run out of DC because he didn’t pay his child support.

You might not know this, but it was Russian porn, pimps and sex trafficking oligarchs who did Putin a solid after the USSR breakup, eventually landing him in the driver's seat at the Kremlin.

In the process, they made him the richest man on the planet.

Moscow as dawn rises, 6/24/23.

A reminder: The next time Ron DeSantis wrangles with Disney World (and he will continue to do so), it really doesn't have a single thing to do with woke, don't say gay, or any other shots in his manufactured culture war.

It's primarily about legalizing casino gambling on non-tribal lands in Florida, which Disney has long opposed.

It is beyond reprehensible for the media to have been banging the "96 hours of oxygen" drum or the "we heard knocking" story for the past four days re: Titan disaster.

There are highly credentialed SMEs (I'm not one of them, just an old school boat sailor) who could have told any reporter straight away that there was no possible rescue & what that last instant would have looked like. Maybe facts are just too grizzly so they had to manufacture hope.

Or ratings.

I knew.

Tomorrow, I want to be the guy who shot 38 on the front side, not the wanker who shot 45 on the back. Not a bad round overall, but man, the difference after the turn. Had a lousy 10th hole (double) and the air came out of the balloon. #CoSoGolf

At the risk of being repetitive, this is one of the unaddressed BFDs from the J6 insurrection:

There is a reason Mike Pence would not do as directed by his SS detail and get in the car.
