A very strange organism, that Mr. Trump…

I get banned for not liking Bush and now Trump can practically put a hit out on Hillary and he's still all over country radio! Hypocrites!

But then, in happy news…
Katie Ledecky was able to get out of the pool, dry off, and finish Winds of Winter for GRRM before everyone else finished

What’s on the agenda for the afternoon?

Go, Natalie!

Missing the Olympics. I’m doing volunteer photography for a support organization for people who’ve lost loved ones in the military. It’s a good cause, and I’m glad I have a skill I can contribute — but damn, how many times can you photograph the same 50 kids in the same three hotel conference rooms?
Getting lots of badly-needed practice with my flash, anyway. My god, hotel lighting sucks.

The U.S. swim team will here on out only compete against aquatic animals. Mere humans aren’t competitive enough.
Luthe
@Baud: Flipper says bring it on.
Roger Moore
Natalie Maines: still not ready to make nice.

My new ‘diet’ seems to be paying dividends with a reduction of 30+ pts in my cholesterol… 1st time under 200 in years. I replace a meal with a meatless substitute. Huge!

Glad to see that the Dixie Chicks are reviving. Actual musicians.

Making t-shirts for the Hillary campaign and hosting a fundraiser in September. Any San Diego area Juicers can email [email protected] for info.

@Mike E: That’s amazing. Good for you.

Have we heard from Lamh36? New Orleans is underwater again.

I will attempt to make a vegan pineapple upside down cake.

Everybody go see Sausage Party this weekend, probably last show I’ll do at Sony for a long time and I went out on a high note, I think.

Watching the dragonets learn sai. So cool.
The Dangerman
I’ve watched enough sports to have seen results that seem far too good to be true (stand up and take a bow, Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis, who, while never testing positive, was clearly juiced); already, there are whispers about that Women’s 10K yesterday (although, if that Woman was doping, she sure didn’t put on any weight). I mean, seriously, 14 seconds on a WR that was suspect in it’s own right? Bizarre.
Ledecky’s margins of victory are often a little … unusual … is all I’m saying…
aangus
@Mary G:
No kidding!

What makes a vegan pineapple upside down cake? No butter? No eggs?
The “Trump sandwich” is hilarious. Even without the “Trump”, it sounds disgusting.

Finally got EVE Online, so I’m gonna poke around there for a bit, go for a walk I guess, day’s kind of stalled until the vet gets here at 2:30.

@sigaba:
Just seeing the trailer traumatized me for life.
Mnemosyne
@gogol’s wife:
Yeah, I saw the trailer and thought, “I am so NOT the audience for this movie!”
But it has an 83 percent “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now, so sigaba and her (?) team obviously did a good job on it.
sigaba
@Mnemosyne: Sigaba is a he, also the person who writes under the name is a he.
Also I do a lot of great work on Blumhouse stuff but the critics always ding that stuff, the whole point of my job is for people not to notice so….
Ars Celare Artem.

@sigaba:
It got a great review in the NYTimes.
gwangung
@sigaba: See, this is the point about about artists marketing themselves…without your comment, I would never have dreamed about going…but after you mentioned it…
laura
@sigaba: Howard Stern’s interview with Seth Rogan on Sausage Party was swell.
Steeplejack (phone)
@sigaba:
What was your part in the production?
Mnemosyne
@sigaba:
Ah, hence the reason I included an interrogative — I couldn’t remember.
Even if one’s own individual job was done to perfection on a crappy movie, it’s still MUCH more satisfying to work on a movie that people like.
Gretchen
@Roger Moore: thanks for showing us that Natalie Maines shouldn’t make nice she and the Dixie Chicks were right .
Glennis
Love the “trump sandwich” thing. I think it’s poetic justice that there’s now a whole meme that Donald Trump has a little penis.
