No foodstuff from Pizza Hut should be served as a "flight."

Your hat size, too. I have a bunch of expensive baseball caps that I swim in now.

There is a lot of good pinball back that way, I understand. I could make an entire road trip out of going to the various arcades and museums and so forth. Plus, cheese curds.

Came for this. I noticed those were all from the fringe, because if they were any closer he would have picked it up.

The one thing that would get me to buy #PGA2K25? Put #TGL in there.

Cruciverbalists, join me over on Camera 2.

It's 2025. If you're still cluing "Some diet sodas" for TABS, put the pencil down, pour yourself a nice tall glass of Dulcolax, and ponder the possibility that maybe, just maybe, the industry has passed you by.

A shooting? In Gilroy? The hell you say. :D

You're screwing with my worldview, man. Next thing you're gonna tell me that the Artichoke Festival in Castroville is no longer a going concern, either. :(

Did they kill it? Was it a COVID casualty?

Which (if you like garlic) is not nearly as nasty as it sounds at first glance. :) It's not gonna beat out peanut butter & chocolate for Best Evar, but you're like "this shouldn't work, and yet it does somehow..."

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was estimating it from the drive I have made many, many times from San Jose to Monterey coming home from Sharks games late at night, which I have not made in quite some time since I live up here in Seattle now. Depends on time of day though, of course.

They also have vegetable canning plants that run in the summer. You know how Reno has that sign that says "Reno: The Biggest Little City In The World?" Gilroy should have one that says "Gilroy: It's Hot And It Smells Bad."

@alisonl.bsky.social Gilroy is about 15 minutes south of San Jose. It is known as "The Garlic Capital Of The World" and has a massive festival celebrating garlic every year, during which you can smell the stuff even with driving through on the freeway.

Sydney now, huh? Why doesn't NCIS open an outpost in Lower Schenectady?

Huh. I didn't think it was possible for the Buffalo Bills to lose four important games in a row.

This taco seasoning wants me to simmer the meat for 10 minutes after adding it. Somehow I don't think that extra five minutes is gonna draw out any more of that authentic Taco Bell flavor.

Present!

It's Christmas Eve and I'm in California visiting the rest of the family, but I miss my kitty.

For reasons obvious, there are a lot of conversations floating around the social medias these days about the (U.S.) Presidential line of succession.

I am both shocked and appalled at how many otherwise rational-thinking people DIDN'T pay attention in civics class.

Omaha, Nebraska: the Otisburg of potential #NHL expansion cities.

A collage of my cat Fiona, from the day she came home to the present day.

I just finished my favorite part of Black Friday.

No, not that.

Today is my kitty's ninth Gotcha Day! Every year I add to her collage.

Happy Gotcha Day, Fiona. You are the best Pie a hooman could ask for.

Thank you for your insights, as always. :)

That's my plan. This was just too demoralizing and there is no glimmer of hope on the horizon. I still have to wait a bit to do it and I honor those who want to continue the fight, but I'm going to get out of the way and let them do it, because I'm out of spoons.

It's funny, we do still have the A350, but I've since upgraded to a Bambu A1; I ran into one at a pinball convention and fell in love with it instantly. The speed is an absolute game-changer.

@alisonl.bsky.social THANK YOU for finally making an account over here!! :)

"We have an announcement for the press pool. We're going to be making an unscheduled stop. Under no circumstances should you report that Vice President Harris will be making this surprise appearance on live TV. From New York. On Saturday night. Are we understood?"

Scrolling through Woot, I see they are clearing out Reverend Run Funkos. I have questions:

1) Why were DMCs selling at a different pace?

2) If not (1), why did Funko produce more Runs than they did DMCs? Was Run's House (the TV reality show) REALLY that big of a hit?

With the playoffs starting soon I wanna revisit this. I did not mean any of the garbage like with the DH where we used home team rules. Same rules for each league. Top of the inning? Clockwise. Bottom of the inning? Counterclockwise. (Although watching Shohei try to steal 2nd from 3rd would rule.)

An ad for the Rotary Club "Pancakes for Polio" breakfast.

Personally I'm against polio, but the Rotarians are taking a bold stance here and I will defend to the death their right to free speech.

Okay, let's talk about fact checking for a second. The rules of the debate is that the moderators will not fact-check in real time. Does that stop other channels carrying the debate from fact-checking on their own in a sidebar or must they carry the feed as-is? @chrislhayes.bsky.social, weigh in?
