I hate the debate in women's tennis (though it's died down some) about the noises they make while playing, because it's largely sexist and gets into the whole bullshit about women's voices being inherently more annoying than men's.

That said, man, Ostapenko makes an obnoxious whooping noise when she serves.

Also consumed by nope.

Boss' boss is here this morning. This is not pleasing.

Stuff I need to do my work is not on hand. People are not telling me when I will get my order. Frustrating.

the noises they make while playing

I've been annoyed by the noises female characters make in some action cartoons I've been watching. They always make grunts of effort in their fights, but the male characters don't.

Wow to the bird pictures!

Oh, and DJT jr (aka Fredo) just posted screenshots of emails that unambiguously incriminate himself on Twitter.

Wow, birds.

Oh, and DJT jr (aka Fredo) just posted screenshots of emails that unambiguously incriminate himself on Twitter.

I'm so cynical and disillusioned at this point that I don't actually think that there's anything that's going to bring Trump down...BUT it would the best thing EVER if it was emails that could do it. Irony and schadenfreude all wrapped up in one package.

Using the internet, I have self-diagnosed myself with ennui.

Have we talked about learning that word from the Trixie Belden books? I remember very few things from those books beyond "ennui", saying "rabbit rabbit" on the first day of the month, and Trixie pointing out "last one in, first one out" of the car.

Edit: And also possibly Irish twins.

I do not know this Trixie Belden. I don't remember where I learned about ennui, it is as if I have always known it perhaps in my DNA, and I still find the "rabbit rabbit" thing inexplicable but charming.
