Filthy green room banter FTW. #Eurovision

Albania's #Eurovision entry reminds me of What We Do in the Shadows. That dude is Matt Berry in a bald cap.

Strobe Lights + Massive Thunderstorm = Good Listenin' #Eurovision

Ukraine's staging and the halo effect made me check that my glasses were clean. And also that it was 2025, not 1985. #Eurovision

Why did Peacock cut out the interval in #Eurovision?

I started my day playing with a chainsaw. I'm ending it with Eurovision.

A brief break between meetings to see Espresso Macchiato is on... #eurovision

If your day doesn't start by cutting a tree out of a fence with a chainsaw, are you even living?

If we just stop covering the clown show in the executive branch will they actually stop?

Like, who else is old enough to remember The Real World and totally thinks Puck would do a better job now?

For Mother's Day I taught my mother how to use her smart TV. So far she's used it to find @taskmaster.tv clips of Sue Perkins and nothing else.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

Remind me not to read the Doctor Who fan sites after a multicultural episode ever again... It's like looking in on a MAGA forum in parts.

Man, remember when we thought Harriet Miers was a bad nominee? And we ended up with John Roberts, who we now view as a moderate? Now we go from Ed Martin to a lady Cecily Strong impersonated on SNL. Just make it stop!

I keep thinking “WOKE MARXIST POPE” to the tune of Pink Pony Club

Good news. We have an American Pope. From Chicago, ergo DA POPE. Even better news. He’s not a fan of fascism.

My son just pointed out to me that His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, as a Villanova graduate, may well be the first supreme pontiff who has been to a Wawa

Why is Choreography and Merriment on the scene for the new Pope? #severance

From a friend: "As long as the UK-US trade deal covers gin and bourbon costs, I'm OK with it."

Kind of fun thing to do: type a random word that's in today's news into @thebugle.bsky.social feed and listen to the oldest episode about that subject. Remember when we all thought Dubya was bad?

Piece of advice for all the Conclave explainers: compare all the candidates to Conclave the movie characters. Like, which one is Stanley Tucci? I figured out the Bloke Named Kevin is Ralph Fiennes, but who are the rest?

While the world is going crazy with wars in Asia and *hands flailing emoji* for the US, sometimes it's nice to wake up, have a cup of coffee (while it's still affordable), and watch Trevor the Dog try (and fail) to catch a chipmunk in a pollinator garden.

96% of fireworks in the US, including those used in Independence Day celebrations, are imported from China.

Figured out the new espresso machine. I'm awake.

The two bipartisan issues in the pocket of blue that is Orange County, NC right now are the Farm Bill and Property Taxes. Across the board it seems everyone hates both.

I cannot figure out why a camera lens cover is in my purse. For a type of camera I don't have.

I'm starting to go to funerals for people close to my age.

You know it's bad when my mother starts making jokes about Trump's egomania...

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Trevor the Dog has been in hot pursuit of a chipmunk today. Unfortunately, it's left him sneezing more than catching the rodent.

Trevor the Dog is an Australian Terrier, meaning he's about 15 lbs. And just now he tried to chase a deer.

First impression of new season of Taskmaster: chaos

My dog's favorite thing, I think, is to lie next to the upstairs dormer window with his junk on full display. So glad the leaves are back on the trees so the neighbor's are flashed by him.

I am both not sure how the logical "related song" to the Beastie Boys's Sabotage is Maneskin's Zitti e Buoni, but at the same time it makes perfect sense. I'm also fairly sure there's a German word for this, but I know Latin and Spanish so clueless here.

As a Commanders fan this is the only time I'll ever be nice to the team with a jail in the stadium.

The Liverpool game is getting so lopsided Trevor the Dog has opted to go outside and bark at some birds.

Sodium citrate is a key ingredient in making a cheese sauce creamy. It contains the elements Sodium (Na), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) i.e. NaCHO in the formula Na₃C₆H₅O₇.

After the Steelers selected Derrick Harmon with the 21st pick, his voice cracked on a conference call as he shared the news. His mother was on life support at a local Detroit hospital. Harmon was able to tell his mom he got drafted on Thursday night before she died.
