I had an exchange student from Brazil. Every couple of weeks when we had some free time, he would describe to the class some aspect of life in Brazil.

That’s what he says, but during storms, Sparky gets a little manic. He grins like a dope and pants like he’s ready to give birth. Sparky keeps that up for the duration.
I thought a blanket fort might take his mind off of the storm.
Sparky likes novel experiences and tolerates my little experiments.
Sometimes I don’t feel like playing, and just want to wander around the internet. Problem is, Sparky is certain that I am interesting and fun. He is too adorable to be denied.
Freddie the German World Cup tourist says that Amish land is his favorite place so far, and he’s been to some great places.
Since Freddie started his World Cup road trip three weeks ago, he has been attracting attention on Twitter. When he went viral, everybody with clout has been giving him VIP treatment.
If you haven’t heard of Freddie, here are some of his posts describing his experiences.
Britain braces for hottest June day on record
She seems nice. Probably a druid or some other kind of pagan.
The article says that it may hit 38o C in England this week. For countries that landed a man on the moon, that’s about 100o F.
Scream Queens is campy and fun, but not dumb. It’s a slasher/thriller satire, with sharp writing and a great cast. It came out in 2015, and only ran for two seasons, but each mystery takes about half of a season. The situations are absurd, obeying slasher logic, but sort of plausible.
Sparky wants to play Juneteenth Charadethes.
Do we have to say it like that?
“Yup”
Sparky explains that for Juneteenth Charadethes, you have to act out a notable Black character. Sparky went first.
The way he was licking his chops, I had a pretty good idea.
On Morning Edition, NPR was talking about Juneteenth. It’s a big deal. They predicted that highway traffic may be reduced because everybody is off for the federal holiday. I was going to go to Aldi today, I should check if they have reduced hours.
Since Sparky is half Black, I wanted to do something special, but NPR was vague on the Juneteenth traditions. Breakfast in bed is always welcome and appropriate, so I went with that.
MPs vote against Tory call for new grooming gangs inquiry
This is dark, dark, dark. Worse than the Catholic priest scandal or whatever went on at Epstein’s island. I don’t usually get too serious, but in the UK, law enforcement, the BBC and government officials are comfortable with Pakistani men raping White girls. Our corporate media doesn’t have an incentive to spend time on this depravity, so people may not know about it.
At the start of last year, the UK Parliament voted against investigating the widespread rape of White girls, so Rupert Lowe, a member of Parliament, independently conducted the investigation.
The report looks comprehensive and legit. The events are horrible.
Oh Good Lord.
It’s customary, I get that. It’s fitting that Obama’s Presidential Center has a basketball court, but no presidential library. Why did they put these people on display for the party?
