Before I dive into Saturday Screencaps, I need to remind everyone that it's still SUMMER despite what you might be seeing in the Cracker Barrel gift shop and at Lowe's. I need all of you to get out there this weekend and RESPECT SUMMER, respect August and live like humans used to live in August.
Ladies, please, it's not pumpkin spice latte season. I get that your kids might be back in school, or headed back this week, but IT'S NOT FALL. That said, today's edition is dedicated to remembering what summer Saturdays are all about.
Let's start with Mackinac Island and this controversy that has exploded where this Democratic Socialist, or extremist, or whatever we're calling El-Sayed, seems to have an issue with Mackinac Island.
This might be one of the most un-American things I've ever heard. I was just there with Mrs. Screencaps, Screencaps Jr. and Screencaps the III. We even went on the self-guided horse carriage ride where Mrs. Screencaps held the horse reins as we went on an hour-long ride past the Grand Hotel and weaved our way through idyllic grounds.
Was El-Sayed misquoted? Was there missing context? I guess not. He hopped on Twitter last night and didn't say he was misquoted, or misunderstood. "I don’t think the most 'American place in MI' can be a place that…bans cars," he tweeted.
That was it. He didn't clarify his remarks about hating Mackinac.
Don't take my word for it that Mackinac is an incredible slice of Americana. Take the word of an extremist who wants to destroy the fabric of this country. His words should inspire you to visit.

This is like Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan joining forces to form the Mega Powers back in 1987. You're talking about two of the most dominant forces on Instagram meeting up for a girls' trip in Spain to go paddleboarding, jump off the yacht, eat fruit, drink wine, and grab some rays.
If you guys aren't doing at least three of these activities today, you're NOT RESPECTING SUMMER. Start cutting fruit right after reading this column. Tell your wife to sit back and relax, you've got this.
On Monday, I introduced you guys to Macy Kate, the reality TV music star who is now trying to rebuild her career as a country singer. She sang the national anthem at a Dodgers game last week. Then I learned she's dating a Tampa Bay tight end. As I told you guys, it just feels like we could have a breakout star on our hands, but this news that she had a sweater over her shoulders at Bucs camp concerns me.
Is Macy Kate down with RESPECTING SUMMER or is she indicating that she's ready for football season TOO SOON? The season doesn't kick off until September, Macy Kate.
– Jess in Alabama (verified Screencaps legend; I met Jess a few years back at a Screencaps meet up in Birmingham) writes: School districts vary a LOT (that’s obvious, just something to keep in mind). I’ve taught for over a decade, only in the South (so my experience is very different than in unioned/lib places like Chicago).
Many schools give teachers around $100-$200 for their classrooms for the school year. Obviously that money only stretches so far. My school would always provide some things, but not a lot and not very quality (those thin cardboardish tissues… some kids will just wipe noses on their shirts before using them). Also, look at class sizes at your kids’ school. I’d usually have classes (middle school) of 30+ kids, totaling 120ish students on my roster. You can fly through supplies fast; I always end up spending my own money in the spring.

I say all that just to provide teacher perspective. But I agree that some school stuff is excessive and exhausting. An incredible teacher I know would always remind other teachers to ask, "Why are we here? Why are we doing this?" And if it’s not to help the students, then don’t. Those are great questions to ask before sending this stuff home to parents.
At first, I thought this was fake because the first screencap I saw came from some random account. Then I saw Dakich's buddy Jason Hammer post it. Very, very odd.
"He tries to push me to my absolute limit," the III told us after returning. "My legs are trembling," he added.

– Jon is mad: What I really don’t understand is the bozos backing in at the Local U football game parking garage that has ANGLED SPOTS. Especially since there is a sign at the entrance saying "DONT BACK INTO SPOTS". So these morons hold up the line while they back in and are essentially facing the wrong way when leaving. And if they are in anything bigger than a Prius they can’t make the turn to get out the spot. So they hold up the line AGAIN see-sawing back and forth when leaving.

And with that, it's time to get the weekend started. Get your fruit trays laid out. Enjoy that patio time. Let's go get after it.
