Happy Birthday USA! 2 * 💯 + 💯/2 = 🎆🎇🎆🎇

Too bad about the birthday clown being the one in charge.

🇵🇾 – 🇫🇷 0–1 lots of red white and blue - both national flags and pyrotechnics at the start of the match.

No pyrotechnics on the pitch tho. Fitting that the only goal was a penalty struck by the most persecuted player on the pitch, Mbappé.

Today I learned that David McComb (lead singer in The Triffids) had his ashes scattered on the family farm in Jerdacuttup.

They soaked me in brine and they stewed me in juice
They took out my eyes and replaced them with glass
And with skin made of leather, and teeth made of dice
I slept in the peat, under ten feet of ice

For some reason, this is the week when GenXers woke up, looked around, and realized it’s not the world they grew up in anymore. Specifically the Internet is not the same! Shock! Horror! How come these people’s formative experiences in high school or college aren’t preserved in amber for all future time?! There oughta be a law!

Weird how today’s surveillance capitalist internet flowed directly from the California Ideology of these people, and yet it’s not their fault at all the world looks like it does.
