Oh yeah. That was an Industrial Engineering position.

When I started my first job out of college, my new co-workers welcomed me with open arms. My incoming salary matched another offer I had. My co-workers got a bump in pay because they weren’t making my $11,500/year in 1973.

When my better half and I got married, we spent our entire wedding gift take on a new car.

About $2,500 for a ‘72 Ford Pinto.

Heh heh…

Confession: I don’t know what songs in English are about maybe 75% of the time.

My favorite since the hilariously self-aware She-Hulk.

I know. I know. The whole premise of the show is to civilly interact with people you don’t agree with. I know. But still. Every episode.

Generally enjoyed the four available episodes of Breaking the Deadlock on PBS Passport, especially the one from a few years ago about attacks on elections. Worth revisiting today.

But, with a varying collection of participants, why is the smarmy guy from The Heritage Foundation in every episode?

Where is it available? Netflix? Prime?

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Send her back to the first prison.

Not so much. It’s been in my library for over a decade.

Inspired by last night’s halftime… youtu.be/CiGlrGF49Ok?...

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

So glad my taxpayer dollars paid for an RFK Jr Super Bowl ad instead of infrastructural improvements or cheaper healthcare.

I’m still pissed at NE going for two. If they kicked the extra point, i would have won my grid.

The halftime show was great on TV, but I wonder how I’d feel about it if I had shelled out the big bucks for a seat in the stadium.

Trump proves that one can be paranoid and pronoid at the same time.

Spent seven years racking up Hilton points at Hampton Inn and Tru. At what level do their brands become pleasant? Do I have to go all the way up to Conrad to enjoy using my points?

I didn’t tune in until just before kickoff. Did I miss the Epstein survivor ad?
