Rewatching the episode. Saw that Josiah raised an eyebrow during the U-Turn voting. Has any other Racer displayed one of Phil’s best aspects?

You mean a manssiere? Or a bro?

New clip! Man, Jerry is a sad, sad motherfucker. And he seems incapable of cutting an oval. I could do that. Maybe after an hour, but I could.

I was just busting chops. I hope both of you are doing okay.

If he came up to you and you didn’t know who he was, you’d be tempted to give him a dollar. Maybe a pat on the head.

Yes, because caves are well-known for having locks. 😜😜😜 His actions ruin a perfectly good episode of Rick and Morty.

What you’re saying it’s not a good time for the release of Yankee Chow fan snacks.

That is downright evil of you to say. Also, I’m mad that I didn’t think of that sooner. 😈😈😈😈😈 Dumb nickname. Spot-on analysis and burn, but “traitor” implies she had values that she rejected. I figure she’s always been a hateful, cauldron-stirring witch.

This week's cartoon from Erik, "We Want a Clean Game":

Wow. Fifty minutes this week, roughly 47 devoted to transgender athletes. After that, the yutz that runs TMZ, then credits. I think John did a good job with the topic. He understands the concept of the concern posed by activists against transgender participation, but the arguments he presented were solid. Being born male does not make one guaranteed to be better in women’s sports after the gender reassignment process. Of course, Trump and Mike Johnson poke their pointy noises into the subject. As always, they deserved to be mocked. Ditto for the legislature that emailed against trans athletes, but failed to protect girls from potential predators. Nice bit of timing: today’s Doonesbury was on the same topic. Garry Trudeau is a lot like John, in that both have taken shots at Trump (Garry having done it for almost four decades), and I fear for their safety because of that.

Found this on Facebook: the dogs of The Daily Show. It’s dogs and a theme song from an Eighties sitcom. What’s not to love? I hope the link works. I wish they put stuff like this on their YouTube.

Does it occur to those assholes that people would be happy to pay to protest, as opposed to getting paid? Which is why I said "REAL torches." Also, no one should be allowed to protest FOR democracy and have that haircut.

I think I’ve found a flaw to the protests being held during the day: no torches. And I mean REAL torches. I don’t know how pitchforks would ‘play” in 2025. When do you even find those?

Went to a comic show today. Didn’t go to any protests. Got four sketches, one of which was done outside of my sketchbook, even though I gave it to the artist. I wound up losing that sketch. Waited ten minutes for a train. Turned out to be a local. Got off and took the express. Walked to where I’d get the express bus, and there was a street fair going on. Wound up getting the bus further downtown. Went to get dinner for myself and my mother. She wanted a specific sandwich, but the place didn’t have the bread she wanted. Got home. Checked the mail. Saw an envelope from the Parking Violations Bureau, which means I got caught speeding. Accidentally tore the anime figurine from my keychain. I’m not going back to the show tomorrow. It’s mostly students with a few pros. There’s going to be a two-day show in NJ in three weeks. I’m not particularly butthurt. I’m just a bit irritated, and I feel like an asshole for not at least checking out a protest.

No, no, no, the assailant would be going into the woods. Trump would be on the green howling in pain, while Secret Service giggles and thinks of excuses as to how a ninja got the drop on them.

I'd settle for his opponent giving him an iron behind the knees. Then he'd set off a smoke bomb (disguised as a common golf ball) and flee into the woods. This is assuming there's actually an opponent, of course.

What I heard at the GOP Convention: "God saved Donald Trump for a reason!" Me at the time: "Yeah, to get his clock cleaned by Kamala." My belief of a higher power is shaky in general. I remember a video centered on the poem "God Sent a Dictator." If this is a divine test, America is failing miserably. But I don't think there is a God. If there is such a being, it might not be benevolent. How much does the Christian Right hate liberals if they go to bed with someone who is NOT down with their agenda? With Pence, I figured that he thought Trump would get bored, rage-quit or keel over, then he could go The Handmaid's Tale on the nation. As he saw the gallows on that cold January afternoon, I wonder if he thought that his dreams meant dick.

Scumbag. Senile scumbag. Super senile scumbag. It's like his source of life is the hatred everyone has towards him. He might outlive all of us AND the cockroaches.

And he probably sucks at it. What would be a more fitting punishment for him: all his courses are turned into low-income housing? Or should we give him bone spurs via surgery?

Looks like we're going into the finale. Shane FINALLY made it. My fear is that Josh is watching this and that he'll give the show three or five more shots. Turbo leaves the game. He didn't kill anyone here. That's a good thing, right? I wouldn't have been too saddened if he had taken a swipe at Adam on the way out. Honestly, I know Shane is a snotty bitch on a good day, but Adam shouldn't have stuck his nose into him bitching about Da'vonne. Coming from Adam, the whole thing felt disingenuous. Today, we saw Da'vonne's daughter and Nicole's girlfriend. First of all, are we ever going to see Steve talking with a loved one? I'd settle for Jisela doing blatant fan service. Secondly, does Nicole's gal know about her romantic history? The lady is a paramedic, so I think she can take care of herself. I would want to know if she has to check under her bed and in the closet to make sure Laurel isn't lurking in wait. *sigh* Adam & Steve tie to record for most elimination wins in a season. It sucks because I will always associate that with Sarah Greyson, and Adam was one of the forces on the Road Rules team that kept pushing her into the Gauntlet. It feels wrong for him to be on her level like that. I'm okay with Steve. He devised the "3-2-1" voting system that RR used, but he didn't make it to screw Sarah. I know he was dating someone at the time. I like to think that if he hadn't, he would've hooked up with Sarah, as opposed to her going to Theo. I get the appeal of Theo, but he is just so disappointing nowadays.

So long to one of the front-running teams. I don't think the Roadblock was complicated enough to give Eight Sons a shot of catching up. Jonathan needs to grow up. Painful to hear Ana's story about her unborn child. At least the U-Turn got us teams to run alongside D&D in the front. It's easier to get a feel for the teams, but I think there's a lot I can lot from them. For instance, Alyssa & Josiah are married nurses. There were two sets of nurses on this show. I didn't realize that until I just hit Wikimedia.

Meh episode. I'm amused Sai is still in the game. I keep thinking that if she goes out early, Justin would go after Cedrek with the pizza shoveling device. In order for Cedrek's choice to mean something, Sai has to at least make the jury. Also, she did swipe the advantage like a dang ninja. Maybe she wouldn't have gotten it if Production had elected to hide it. Still too many people to keep track of. Doesn't help when they're all muddied and covered in wood chips.

"The Bitchin' Race." Phil appears as himself.

Next week: Camels! Skydiving!!!

So long, Eight Sons. Sucks to lose a memorable team.
