Gheorghasord: Lighten Up

The next two weeks...hoo boy. It's gonna feel like two decades, and most of it ain't gonna be fun. So as a public service (and if you think about it, serving the public is what we're all about here - that, and the occasional invitation to a cool movie screening), we're here to provide a few things to take your mind off of the election and a couple election-related things that'll make you smile amidst the onslaught of things that make you nervous and wanting to slam your head against a bridge piling.

Let's start with the political, first with Coach Tim Walz going all Coach Tim Walz on Elon Musk:

If I still played Fantasy Football, Skipping Dipshits might make for a solid team name. Almost as good as Dorking Wanderers.

In other amusing politico tricks, check out the former guy busting out a little Eminem:

Moving on to distractions non-political, the first 30 seconds of the most recent episode of We Defy Augury offers an audioscape highlighted by sweat running down Dave's hairy ass. If that won't take your mind off of things, you're some kind of mutant. It does get better from there, but the theme of distraction stays present, as our man plumbs the horror novel genre for insight. It's a good one. Once you get through the first minute.

And finally, by the time this goes to print, we'll have a bit better idea of whether our guy Joel Dahmen is likely to keep his TOUR card for the 2025 season. On the one hand, he's raised his profile substantially in the wake of the Netflix Full Swing series, grabbing endorsements from The Finnish Long Drink, Bushmills, and MGM Resorts, among others. But that exposure came with a price. Dahmen's on-course play hasn't been very good for a while, and after a string of mid-table finishes, he entered this evening's second round play at the ZOZO Championship (this evening, because it's in Japan) outside the top 125 on the FedEx points list, the cut line for full TOUR membership the following season. 

Dahmen finished the first round tied for 52nd at one over par. He's gonna need to move up 10-15 places over the rest of the tournament to guarantee another year on TOUR. Get it, Joel.
