Devin Townsend will release his latest album PowerNerd, the first of a new trilogy of releases, in October

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. The media spin on Sunday was focused once again on helping Vice President Kamala Harris — who until four weeks ago boasted about being the last one in the Situation Room as President Joe Biden was making important policy decisions — reinvent and reintroduce herself as an agent of change wholly unconnected to the disastrous policies of the president with whom she had just recently claimed to be working alongside. During a panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week,” former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile raved about last week’s “joyful” Democratic National Convention and the fact that she had seen more Republicans there than ever before. Brazile did not comment on the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic Party’s official 2024 nominee, had been foisted upon them despite never having won a single primary vote on her own merits. “I’ve never seen so much unity at a Democratic convention,” host Jonathan Karl began. “There always are dissenters. Is it going to last?” “Absolutely,” Brazile insisted, adding, “I saw more Republicans at the Democratic Convention than I’ve seen at any other time in my entire life.” Brazile went on to claim that Harris had used the convention to “define” herself — and while it is true that Harris told a few stories about her upbringing and her personal history, she failed to introduce or reinforce a single policy position other than unfettered access to abortion (even during the convention). “I saw more Republicans at the Democratic Convention than I’ve seen at any other time in my entire life,” former DNC chair @DonnaBrazile tells @JonKarl after the “joyful convention” in Chicago. https://t.co/Tx4zHaoQtD pic.twitter.com/F9HR5BTz2Q — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) August 25, 2024 Politico’s Jonathan Martin also weighed in, and whether intentionally or not, said the quiet part out loud: the Democratic Party appeared completely unfazed by the fact that Harris was literally reinventing herself in real time, behaving as though the radical policy positions she espoused during her short-lived 2019 presidential campaign had never existed at all. “What’s incredible is the party is so united that they have given her a pass effectively to reinvent herself whole cloth from her 2019 ill-fated bid for the presidency,” he said. “What’s incredible is the party is so united that they have given her a pass effectively to reinvent herself whole cloth from her 2019 ill-fated bid for the presidency,” Politico’s @jmart says of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. https://t.co/aAym3my8t6 pic.twitter.com/AN7fwRAzUV — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) August 25, 2024 On CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” anchor Margaret Brennan pointed to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, executed by the Biden-Harris administration three years ago, and asked whether the specter of that debacle would follow Harris as she attempted to put distance between herself and almost every Biden-Harris policy. Brennan asked the question of Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), a veteran who had previously cited the Afghanistan withdrawal as a reason that President Biden should not seek reelection. “We’ve got to stop assigning partisan blame on fundamental things like national security,” Ryan said, suggesting that Harris was simply being attached to Biden’s decision for political convenience. At the time, however, Harris had bragged about being the last person in the room when Biden had made the call to pull everyone out of Afghanistan. The Biden-Harris administration then presided over the chaotic evacuation of American citizens and the resulting deaths of 13 American service-members — in a terror attack at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate — and left hundred if not thousands of Afghan allies behind to defend themselves against the Taliban. .@margbrennan asks Democratic @RepPatRyanNY, who pointed to the Afghanistan troop withdrawal in his call for President Biden to not seek reelection, if the failure is also Vice President Harris’? “We’ve got to stop assigning partisan blame on fundamental things like national… pic.twitter.com/06W6ESh3pS — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) August 25, 2024 CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked the obvious question on “State of the Union,” pressing Senate Cory Booker (D-NJ) on the fact that Harris has a record as the sitting Vice President and is desperately trying to hold herself up as a candidate who will bring “change” if elected. “A new chapter? I mean, she’s the incumbent vice president,” Tapper pointed out, noting that the entire Democratic Party appeared to be ready to help her outrun that fact. “Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years. How can Democrats talk about a new chapter, turning the page? You guys are the ones writing the book.” Booker claimed in response that “MAGA Republicans” were still exercising control over Democrats, and said that the 2024 election was a way to “finally kill that strain of the Republican Party” so that “pragmatic Republicans” — by which he appeared to mean Republicans who were willing to compromise — could regain control of the party. .@jaketapper presses Sen. @CoryBooker on Democrats framing Harris as a change candidate: “She’s the incumbent vice president… How can Democrats talk about a new chapter, turning the page? You guys are the ones writing the book.” pic.twitter.com/vGapOSQ07T — State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) August 25, 2024 On MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Dan Pfeiffer told the former White House Press Secretary that Harris was making politics about something beside former President Donald Trump — making no mention of the fact that at the DNC, Trump got more mentions on just the first day than major issues like inflation, the border, and the war between Israel and Hamas got the entire week. “Over the last month here, [Harris] has made politics for the first time in nearly a decade about something other than Donald Trump, and that is what is driving Donald Trump absolutely insane,” he claimed. .@danpfeiffer: “Over the last month here, [Harris] has made politics for the first time in nearly a decade about something other than Donald Trump, and that is what is driving Donald Trump absolutely insane.” pic.twitter.com/Kai20qMkdq — Inside with Jen Psaki (@InsideWithPsaki) August 25, 2024

Homer Simpson is the dad of the cartoon series “The Simpsons.” He is not a model father by any stretch. One of the series’s most familiar Homer Simpson lines is his signature shout of “D’OH!” whenever something goes wrong for him. When TikTok user DaisyDuckCutie’s dad channeled Homer Simpson, the moment was hilarious. @daisyduckcutie my dad said he was going to the beach and he sent me this #beach #wave #dad #viral #fy ♬ original sound – DaisyDuckCutie<3 The short clip says it all. While watching waves at the beach, DaisyDuckCutie’s dad wasn’t paying enough attention. As a large wave rolled in, he was standing on some rocks too close to the water. The wave hit the rocks with some force, causing a rather big splash. As he got soaked, he shouted, “D’OH!” This dad could be the voice actor who portrays Homer Simpson (but he’s not). His shout was the same pitch and tone as the cartoon character. It carried the same level of frustration that Homer displays with every utterance. See for yourself with this Facebook collection of Homer Simpson saying “D’oh.” Bart Simpson’s dad, Homer Simpson, is the brilliant work of voice actor Dan Castellaneta. The signature “D’oh” is Dan’s creation. The voice actor also provides voices for Krusty the Clown, Groundskeeper Willie, Barney Gumble, Mayor Quimby, Hans Moleman, Barney Gumble, and Abraham “Grampa” Simpson. The actor’s sense of humor remains intact as he released the comedy album, “I Am Not Homer.” If you’re wondering who this famous dad, Homer Simpson, is, you should add the series to your Hulu list. The show has been airing since 1989 and is one of the longest-running cartoon shows ever. If you’ve ever had a horrible day, the chance is high that you may have uttered Homer Simpson’s favorite dad word, too. I know I have on occasion! Laugh and share!

When you have a toddler, getting them to try new things can be challenging. While they are at that phase where “everything goes in the mouth,” that isn’t always true for foods. Doctors recommend waiting until the one-year point to introduce different foods and drinks. Rebecca and Joshua Guy did just that. After Baby Margot turned one, they decided to try sparkling water. @becccalambx Fair to say she wasnt a fan #fyp #babytiktok #baby #funny #1yearold ♬ Funny – Gold-Tiger Parenting is hard. Kids can be joys or terrors on the same day. For the Guy family, little Margot seems like a dream child. She smiles and is happy. But when Mom tries to get her to drink sparkling water, the baby wants no part of it. The face the baby made pretty much tells the story. But that wasn’t enough, and she immediately spit out the disgusting concoction without even attempting to swallow. Images from TikTok. It’s probably a good bet that Mom won’t try that again soon. Becca’s comment under the TikTok post, “Fair to say she wasnt a fan” seems like a wee bit of an understatement. After the taste, the baby turns to look at someone to the side, and her face says, “How could you let her do that to me?” She truly felt betrayed by that taste test! Images from TikTok. It is difficult for parents to know what memories will “stick” with young children. Toddlers begin remembering specific events and significant things between the ages of one and two. Hopefully, Baby Margot won’t remember this betrayal and hold it against her Mom forever. Hopefully, future taste tests will result in a response similar to this toddler’s first pizza bite. Unlike the sparkling water, which brought scorn, pizza brought pure Nirvana. Share this if you relate to Baby Margot. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
