I don't care about the Tigers, Pistons, or Red Wings... but could you maybe imagine that the guy is actually a Packers fan in football? 😆

Well, damn. I don't blame you. We have do have a lot of assholes here in Michigan. I'm sorry.

Wait... what???

WHY???

All football clubs should be majority fan owned (cf. the 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga).

Things are awful, but today at work I got to tell a very good person some very good news. One of the best work days I have ever had. 😊😊😊

One of their six tasting rooms is less than five miles from my house, should I go give it a try and report back?

I could also buy a bottle and then pair it with these bratwurst which are produced about ten miles from where I grew up:

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Still not as wonderful as this amazing table AFTER matchday 2 last year:

I'm thinking this basically means that a strategic flyer can take an oversize bag onto the plane for €3. 😅

I'm somewhat surprised her body is not being interred in an Ehrentempel.

He's just scared to play Heidenheim this weekend. 🤣🤣

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

FC Heidenheim with a comfortable match against 4th tier Bahlinger SC.

Fun fact for me is that the Kaiserstuhl region in which Bahlingen is located is where my Giedeman(n) ancestors were from. (I still have long-distant cousins living in the area even if I don't know any of them.)

My annual "mitgliedskarte" from FC Heidenheim has arrived. 🙂🙂

It will be a hard year for FCH. The only silver lining is that it will be impossible for them to finish lower in the Bundesliga standings than they are expected to finish. 🙃

GPT-5 might have been trained on a referee report I had to deal with once.

The morality of exactly what specifically?

The Swiss Bundesrat just held a press conference. My German isn't great, but (as I undersood it) their basic sentiment is that "it is what it is" with respect to Trump and his tariffs. They certainly didn't seem overly optimistic.

I'm in Switzerland right now and just yesterday I was talking with one of my Swiss friends about this very issue. Even before the increase in tariffs, the Swiss were already unhappy that the US announced that the price of the F-35s will be more than $1 billion higher than they originally agreed to.

I’m Captain Ahab and I Say We Must Never Transition Away from a Whale-Based Energy Industry When I heard that the globalist oligarchs and fat cats in the Washington marshland were conspiring to invest in alternative, non-whale-based energy...

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

No. We are definitely NOT ok. 😟

While technically not all the same shop (I don't think), this building in rural Michigan houses a sports bar, an ice cream parlor, AND a taxidermist.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

No Elinor Ostrom signposts today, but the hike from the Simmenfalle waterfall (1104 meters above sea level) to the top of Wildstrubel (3244 meters above sea level) is one that I (and my legs) will remember for a very long time.
