Maybe regional? Haven't run across it in our Celtic/Irish/British pubs in Minnesota.

I think you've referenced a spice bag previously recently? Old fart needing clarification.

Feds Used Chemical Agents Dozens of Times in Chicago An investigation by reporters from six newsrooms found that agents used chemical irritants nearly 50 times during Operation Midway Blitz.

They'll always be like the boy who cried wolf...

Caught GDT's "Frankenstein" today. I think it was good, but I don't know about the raves I've seen on Bluesky. From descriptions I maybe expected too much. Still want him to see what he would do with "At the Mountains of Madness"

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

This speech never gets old.

Not to mention many of the people who has supported him, or who he has pardoned.

Or coasters that do not stick to the moist bottoms of beer mugs or drinks. A trick I've seen people do is to sprinkle a little salt on the coaster.

Collins: When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that?

Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.
