Kevin Durant with a dagger.  I mean a fucking dagger through the heart of Cavs fans.  That series is as good as over and a perfect postseason looks likely. I don’t care how soft the west playoffs were due to injuries, that feat is all but unheard of. Penguins – Predators tonight! Somebody text me updates, please. I’ll be among people living and dying in 3/4 time.

I was right about Djoker yesterday. And Murray looks unstoppable. Maybe he should have had his racquet on London Bridge the other day.  And finally, ESPN poses an interesting question. Interesting in that I sure hope we don’t have a “next one” on our team. After all, we had three D-backs drafted ahead of him and every one of them had a lot more than one career interception and an 0-3 record against their biggest rival. But they gotta hype that program for some reason. And as an aside, Bob Stoops inexplicably pulled the plug yesterday. His last loss was to The Ohio State Buckeyes. Let’s hope his replacement’s first loss is to the same team.

Anyway, enough about TTUN sucking. We all know that fact already. So I’ll bring you some new information with…the links!

Comey prepared testimony completely vindicates President Trump.  No, wait. I meant to say Comey prepared testimony set to destroy President Trump. (TW: HuffPo) No wait, that can’t be it either.  Oh fuck it, you decide.

Teresa May makes her final plea to voters on Limetree Island. Day set to either be a catastrophe for the Tories or the greatest defeat to Labour since forever. There is no middle ground, goddammit! Its got to be one or the other.

In late breaking “actions have consequences, dumbass” news, reporter devastated after she gets the axe.

Senate committee chairman tells poor, little woman to shut her bitch mouth enforces committee rules on questioning witnesses. Twitter goes into a meltdown. Women, minorities hardest hit.

Some people will do anything to stay relevant. I’m just spitballing here, but I personally believe she’d do a better job if she set herself on fire in protest in front of the White House. And she’d be doing a public service!

In celebration of the show tonight, you will get a few little ditties today.

Dance with me! Dance with me!

Good times and riches and sonofabitches!

There’s no place like home when you’re this far away.

Have a great day, friends!

Its been raining for days and days. I’m ready for a little sun. This ain’t England.

• These geniuses from Tallahassee want “a white ethnostate”. Main color of their flag is black. Probably the guys googling “wbony porm” all day.
• Speaking of assholes in Tallahassee, it looks like Florida lawmakers are going to be dragged kicking-and-screaming into passing an MMJ statute that the citizenry voted for last year. Of course its going be a shitfest with only 10 grower licenses and such, but its nice to see them deigning to change the law to match the (state) constitution.
• In other Florida news, invasive crocodiles, like migrant humans threaten the less-aggressive local population. Wait, something about that analogy isn’t right…
• Two major terrorist attacks in Iran. It looks like the Iran-Saudi war of influence is getting hot. This is not going to be good if true.
• WaPo remembers when Progressives in Portland wore white hoods to cover their faces instead of black. Weirdly, this is somehow recast as right-wingerism.

  

• Australian columnist takes exception to assault. Good. I mean, not good that political violence is increasing, but good that attacking someone while wearing a mask gets a fight.

Rainy days and Tallahassee make me think of this. Here’s a little something from a friend of mine. (She is definitely NOT a white nationalist)

Pretty much nothing happened in the sports world  yesterday except the Astros inexplicably lost a game they were easily winning. And some dude named Scooter from the Reds went completely insane with the bat.  I don’t mean he went off in a bad way. Dude went yard four times!

And in case any of you care about tennis, Djoker is in trouble this morning in Paris. Meanwhile the women are also playing but its pretty much down to a bunch of randoms since Serena is knocked up and its the French Open.

No basketball. No hockey. No college baseball (go Noles and Frogs! according to my unscientific fan poll yesterday) for another couple days. Let’s all try to get through together.

OK, that was weak. Let’s all hope it gets better when I bring you…the links!

Fuck you, I’m Millwall! Nothing else needs to be said. Oh wait, one question: did they give his balls their own wheelchair when they released him from hospital, or did they have two nurses there to carry them individually?

I might believe some of this if there were one single cited source used. Also I might believe it if it didn’t involve a grown man, and one of the most powerful grown men in the world from a political standpoint, begging another grown man to not leave him alone with someone else. Because unless that other man is Hannibal Lector, all it means if that the requester is a big, giant pussy. Or the story is total bullshit. There can be no third explanation that I can think of.

Meanwhile, in another story where there are only third-hand accounts and no record of the subjects bringing it to the attention of anyone important…well, read for yourself. Lots of conjecture and “familiar with his way of thinking” going on again. But its WaPo, so what do you expect?

(Alright, we’re three links in and only one of the stories involves somebody with balls. And its not even an American with a lot of power. Its a commoner from Millwall!)

Here’s a little Reality for you. Family shocked!

Church puts message on sign. Shitstorm ensues. Church explains message. Shit-stormers not impressed.

Taxpayers fucked over. Apparent shitbags get to keep shitbagging while sucking on government teat. Pretty much life as usual for the Seattle area.

I’ll wait till tomorrow to get the tequila and limes out for boat drinks. Instead I’ll explain how Banjos and I met. Although we named our kids better.

Have a great day, friends! And try to be more like the guy in the first link instead of the people in the rest of them. Except the music one. That guy os alright.

Man, what a week. I just passed the 20 hour mark around noon. Friday afternoon might be, er, “flex time”. Or I might still be working my arse off.

It looks like our slide (back) into political mobs street fighting is continuing. Is it racist of me to notice that the vast majority of these people are white?

Bob Dylan delivers his Nobel Lecture to get his Nobel money. As best I can tell, he said, “I stole it all from Buddy Holly and black folk singers”

Paris cops shoot hammer-wielding man in Notre Dame. Apparently it was not Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.

Man chokes bride over wedding gifts. Not Florida Man (he used his hands), or Grand Moff Serious Man.

I have today’s newest health scare. (For you non-followers, “Aluminum Should be Considered a Primary Factor for Alzheimers”, type: editorial) My take: I assume this is for people who grind/manipulate aluminum and not oxidized aluminum in food preservation, but its hard to tell. I’ll take my chances with aluminum food preservation rather than foodborne illnesses

Interesting outlier poll from WaPo predicting British Conservatives pick up about 20 seats. We’ll see. Just because the old polls were not predictive doesn’t mean the new ones are.

Its a dark day for many of our college baseball faithful here at Glibs.  I don’t know what else to say but that I’m sorry that everybody’s team seems to have been knocked out.  I say we all find an underdog and jump on the bandwagon! Davidson? Wake Forest? SHSU? Aw, fuck it. Let’s just watch MLB now. And by “watch MLB”, I mean watch the Astros win again.  At this rate they’re gonna have to start putting their magic number beside their name in the standings starting at the All-Star Break.

And how bout them Predators? They thumped the Pens to the point that Brett L. wondered aloud last night if they’d sandbagged like the boys in MASH before doubling the bets and putting Spearchucker Jones in the game. (if you don’t now what I’m talking about, get on Netflix and watch the movie, dammit!) The series is anybody’s now, unlike the NBA Finals, which I don’t see the Cavs coming back in.

Alrighty then. I know only a few of you came here for the sports. The rest are here for…the links!

War Machine might be due for a name change. God knows the piece of shit will have plenty of time to come up with one. (And yes, I feel more comfortable calling him names now that he’s been sentenced for a loooooong ass time.)

Reality Winner is a Bernie Girl that has said a lot of crazy shit online. Maybe she’s angling for an insanity defense. The supposed leaker said she’d go to was on Iran’s side against Trump and called him a “piece of shit” for his position on DAPL. (A position shared, I believe, by Hillary Clinton up until it became popular to hate the safer move of oil underground as opposed to rail.) Anyway, I can assure you that her name, while peculiar, does not make her part of my family. Hell, she’s too old to be one of my kids. And we came up with way better names than that dumbass’s parents did.

Apparently, there’s no room for Islamophobic comments in Britain. Not even in the midst of a terrorist attack being carried out by…Islamists praising Allah. If this is real, it does not speak well for the future of the British.

Speaking of terror attacks being carried out by Islamists, looks like the suspects that carried out the attack over the weekend, but not the dozen other individuals quickly arrested in the attack, have easily been identified since they’re TV stars. However, according to the commenters on HuffPo here, its still all about white people and Donald Trump. (The TW is in the link, but the retardation within deserves a second one. BEWARE!)

And with summer here, its time for guys to supplement the wardrobe of rompers they’ve recently purchased with another can’t-miss fashion statement. No spoilers. You gotta see this shit to believe it.

Go ahead and rock a little harder today. (The singer isn’t the eye candy you got yesterday. And for that I apologize.)

Have a hell of a great day, friends.

Man, the college baseball playoffs are all out of whack with the weather. Poor Rice made a game effort but LSU was too much. I noticed the Hogs staved off elimination and the Hoos moved to the losers bracket. I still have faith! And let’s all give a round of applause to Davidson. And start cheering for Vandy and Bethune-Cookman. Why? Because their opponents are (mostly) dicks!

In MLB news, Houston steamrolled the Rangers and are on a 10 game winning streak. They only need to win two more games before July 4 to be assured of a winning record at the All-Star Break.  That’s insane.

The Predators got their groove back, bad breath (perhaps) and all in Game 3. Game 4 is tonight, and is still a must-win for Nashville. I expect another bloodbath. And in the NBA, the Warriors throttled the Cavs in both Game 1 and Game 2 at home. We’ll see if the Cavs have an answer back in Ohio, but its looking like they have no answer right now.

Alright, enough is enough. Here come…the links!

Qatar sure has pissed off its neighbors. Is it a real crackdown on actual ties to and financing of terrorism? Or just more tribalist bullshit? You’ll have to wait and see.

I guess a CNN personality took time off from their normal agenda of spreading bullshit to throw out a little soft racism.

British officials playing the blame game after the latest pair of terrorist attacks. Unfortunately, they’re not blaming the pieces of shit that carried out the attacks or their warped ideology. They’re blaming tech companies for not doing “enough” to censor the internet or eliminate encryption. No introspection expected in light of fact that they were tipped off about the very people that carried out the attacks and did nothing about it. Nope! Its gotta be somebody else, not the lazy, ineffecient intel agents that completely ignored an credible threat.

In other censorship news, the British government said they’re not going to name the people responsible for the attacks or any of the other dozen extremist Islamist terrorists  picked up in the immediate wake of the attack until it is “operationally possible.”  (Read: when they fuck something else up so bad they need to toss these names out to deflect the deserved criticism.)

In the last bit of censorship news, for the day anyway, private Facebook group for people that enjoy sharing memes results in Harvard pulling college acceptances to at least 10 incoming students. Jesus, I hate to think what dirty jokes or comments people my age used to say would result in for Generation Safe Space and their idiot enablers in college administrations.

Paris. London. Regret. Synths. This song has it all.

Have a great day, friends.

Greetings from rural New York state, where SP and I are encamped for the next week while I attend a technical seminar on “Measurement of the Booms Emanated By Boomsticks” in Buffalo. I lead an eclectic life. Well, enough about us, there’s much news to be commented upon.

The big news is, of course, bad driving in England. What still amazes me is the questions people don’t ask, prime being, “Why does this seem to be a mostly European phenomenon, and what can they learn from the US?” But of course, Europe has nothing to learn from the US, their embarrassing, uncivilized, bumpkin cousins.

Somehow, this is Trump’s fault.

Stunningly, Slate realizes that government policy can lead to horrible results. Well, they realize it today, it will be memory-holed quickly. Of course, this is Trump’s fault.

None of this matters, the world will end shortly. Because of Trump, of course.

The Root has become a favorite hate-read. Today’s outrage is particularly delicious. This is, sous entendu, Trump’s fault.

In sports news, there are people who make you wonder, “How many times is it gonna take before you choose another line of work?” If only Trump hadn’t been at the bottom of this.

And finally, in News of Weirdness, the best golf course fight you’ll see all year. This wouldn’t have happened if not for Trump.

And now I’m going to take a tour of Beautiful Downtown Wellsville.

NB: Though I’m not supposed to mention this, several of the West Coast founders are attending a wedding today. Grand Moff Serious Man is getting handcuffed to beloved commenter emeritus Kibby. The officiant is jesse.in.mb. This is clearly Trump’s fault.
