A real black eye to the FIFA peace prize selection committee

I don’t think my wife thought through the ramifications of giving the dog a new squeaky toy after 9:30pm

Planet Fitness claims to be a “judgment-free zone”, but the real goat in this space is the liquor store. They’re just as happy to sell you coconut rum as they are bourbon.

It’s very cool this is getting done, but also wild to me they think they can continue this as a business. Unless they’re going to branch out to making non-Commodore things, anyway. Because once everyone who cares gets their retro Commodore…

The yips are real

your stop or you’d easily get too much. I hated it in a way, but I didn’t realize how much I’d miss hating it. It was like an ultra-low-stakes version of russian roulette. I’ll get by, but I doubt I’ll EVER not remember it when getting a soda.

One of my favorite restaurants, The Loop, has been back open couple weeks after being closed for many months due to flooding from Chantal. They upgraded from one soda fountain to two that each have much more modern ice dispensers. The original ice dispenser was FAST. So fast that you had to pre-plan

YOU DID IT

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

The Royal Family are said to be devastated after Prince Andrew’s car crash next Wednesday.

Was talking to my wife about how the right loves to talk about all the “paid agitators” and it hit me: that’s a career I could get behind. I’m already very experienced. I LOVE agitating. People say I’m GREAT at it. So hit me up if you’re hiring. I can’t find listings online, but surely they exist.

Do they call it “West by God Virginia” because of all the billboards God has here? Because God has a lot of billboards here.

I’ve lived this one, so it would be a lot of great content on our podcast!

We love asking “what could go wrong?” but we definitely do not love getting the answer.

Only for initial setup, I’m pretty sure.

I know nothing beats the original hardware, but if you find yourself with access to the Nintendo Switch2 (and probably the original Switch), Nintendo offers a free download of emulators for all the earlier game systems AND all the Nintendo authored games.

Geoff it’s only the Red Sox. I guess that constitutes trying in YOUR world

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

I’ll save you the photo, but I just need to say that scabs on scar tissue take a LOT longer to heal than on other places.

And led and red. And lede and reed and read. Its crazytown.

I’m just the head of a large team. A VERY large team.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

julius Bangojr 1 star Its 2:15 p.m. the owners wife locked me in and left. She did not look to see if the store was empty. This is not good. Dont want to move around just in case she set the alarm..

This one star review of a local convenience store... fair enough

I mean it is a pretty fast way to get down from the bad place

“I’m being censored for my conservative beliefs”

You’re being censored for wanting low taxes?

“No”

You’re being censored for wanting a small government?

“No”

Then what?

“I’m being censored for saying Puerto Ricans are anti-American immigrants who threaten the blood and soil of my nation”
