you up yet, mike. us women are in the quarterfinals knockout round. zip zip at halftime against japan. the us are playing really tentative and safe which is fucking boring. hopefully theyll take more risks in the second half. japan aint that good. they should be going for it instead they are just passing it around in the back. no incisive passing. no trusting your wings to break down their defenders. not sure theyve had a shot on goal. bleh. here we go.

Kim's Video was a legendary store, with several locations, in New York from the 1990s to the early 2010s. Now, the rental collection from Mondo Kim's/St. Marks lives on at the Alamo Drafthouse in Lower Manhattan, where it is available to rent for free. This is a public record of our one-of-a-kind selection and also the nonsense we watch while working.

But there’s a problem: thanks to so-called “super shoes”, we may not know if the person who crosses the line first really is the fastest runner in the truest sense of the word.

amazing what a cretin this guy is. and we were so close.... well, nevermind. 

guess im gonna be watching some olympics. woke up brain dead needing a distraction. curious what was available not on peacock. the glory days of free streams on the net seems over or maybe i just havent found them yet. does peacock have ads? they must. forgot how much of that one endures. but no sound, just a big blue pool and some lines slicing though them with the occasional flag graphic looking as if it is being tugged in the swimmers wake. 

are we winning? are we winning?

finally swung back around to season 5 of fargo. worth the wait. tires are spinning in the snow a bit as i head into the final three eps but all in all no complaints. 

and coincidentally or not, one of the characters is fond of calling people shitbirds. now what are the chances?

good pod.

On the Final Edition, Bryan welcomes Alex Thompson, a national political correspondent for Axios. They kick off the show by discussing coverage of the last two weeks, which included President Joe Biden dropping out of the race (1:14). Then he gets into the current relationship between Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris (16:24), the relationship between Biden and Barack Obama over the past few weeks (27:26), and what it will look like covering Harris now (32:14)

the paris olympics got wood.
