Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

For the next 97 days, I will post one thing per day about the late, great Tom Lehrer — one for each year of his life — unless I forget and skip a day.

Day 1: he found a rhyme for 🍊!

Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for bizarre enj-

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!"

The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:
The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

One of my favorite songwriters. His dark humor is something I frequently try to channel when writing (Boomers, 666). www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway

Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking

And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere
New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response
The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

A 15-yo is now caring for his little brothers bc ICE snatched their mom. And another family that the local Santa Barbara paper found, pretty much same thing. Think how many stories aren’t being told www.independent.com/2025/07/11/c...

I wrote a survival guide for the 21st century and an anthem for a generation.

This broke me from the first paragraph

"For Melissa Hortman’s last day at work, they draped her coffin with pink flowers and filled the cold marble under the Minnesota Capitol dome with the green and growing things that she loved."

Thank you, @stribrooks.bsky.social
Brooks: Minnesota’s greatest honor for a family’s great loss

the mamdani thing is showing you how limited the range of acceptable opinions actually is in america. republicans can be a stone's throw away from endorsing genocide and thats fine but one guy goes slightly to the left of dem party orthodoxy and we're right in the middle of soviet russia

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Melissa Hortman, key architect of the Minnesota Miracle of feeding kids and protecting women’s rights, has been shot in her home as were her husband and dog. Another democrat, John Hoffman, was also shot in his home. I feel like I’m going to throw up. God help us.
