I’m not sure why, but this year I’m really getting a kick out of rogue cornstalks in soybean fields.

Got a pair of those synthetic Birkenstocks.

Spouse called them β€œBirkencrocs” πŸ˜† #portmantodd

Repeat:

If you want to colonize space, prove you could succeed by first solving climate change.

⚽️ On this day: saw Brighton, Brentford, Chelsea, and Newcastle.

If all goes well, it’s Chelsea and Celtic tomorrow.

⚽️ I was late to the #USWNT game, but what a joy to have Mallory back and see that excellent πŸŽ‡ Pugh Pugh πŸŽ†!

πŸͺ΅ Log day update:

Trainer said my form is consistently good with the 70-pound medicine ball, now. (That’s whether it’s lifting, walking with it, hoisting it around, etc.) πŸ’ͺ

Feels good!

I have now received about 10 emails (at various points throughout the day) from Delta saying that my flight from this morning was cancelled.

I think they’re having a rough time over there.

πŸ—³οΈYou think prices are bad now?

Imagine what they will be like if MAGAs succeed in kicking out the very people that are helping keep prices down.

Get off my (rivet) lawn!

Still mulling over some of Postman’s πŸ“š Amusing Ourselves to Death and this is my emerging theory of dystopias:

  • the conservative failure mode is towards Orwellian dystopia
  • the liberal failure mode is towards Huxleyan dystopia

⚽️ Congrats to the winners, and thank you for not playing β€œVAR football”, Spain!

😈⚽️ Just offered some of my Atlanta coworkers a Corn Jersey.

A Indiana jersey that looks like giant corn on the cob

⚽️ Yes! 3rd quarterfinal cupset in Open Cup history and Indy Eleven on to the Open Cup semifinal with 2-1 over Atlanta!

⚽️ Dax McCarty OG makes it #IXI 2-0 Atlanta!

⚽️ Woohoo! Lower league takes the lead! #IXI 1 - Atlanta United 0

⚽️ The #IXI were having a good run there for a bit, but have had a harder time the last couple games, and are coming off a very recent match without much recovery time.

Hoping for a good showing against Atlanta United. #OpenCup
