Sounds more like barter than trade.

@Mik said in Happy Draft Day: How many times do you have to say defense wins games. Were that not true the Bengals would have won the Super Bowl last year. You still need offense. Pittsburgh had the top scoring defense through 12 weeks last year and were 10-2. BUT the offense couldn’t sustain drives, and Russell Wilson repeatedly ignored play calls designed to grind the clock and went for quick big strikes instead. The result? Our defense was on the field for 20 more snaps a game than average. They hit that 5 games in 22 days stretch and died. They were worn down…

***=NSFW content***click to show n 1933, a young Lucille Ball, just 22 years old, made one of her earliest on-screen appearances as a Goldwyn Girl in the musical comedy Roman Scandals. At that time, she was still a rising star—an ambitious model-turned-actress trying to make her mark in Hollywood. The Goldwyn Girls were known for their synchronized glamour and were featured in elaborate musical numbers that added dazzle to the silver screen, and Lucille was among them, soaking in the experience of big studio productions. Though her role in Roman Scandals was uncredited, it was a crucial step in her journey. Surrounded by the showbiz spectacle and working under the direction of established filmmakers, Lucille was quietly learning the ropes—building poise, camera awareness, and performance skills that would serve her well in the years ahead. Even then, she stood out with her expressive features and magnetic energy. This moment in Lucille Ball’s life captures her at the very beginning of a legendary career. Before she became a household name with I Love Lucy, before she broke barriers as a pioneering producer and comedic genius, she was one of many hopefuls in the chorus line. But even in the background, Lucille had a spark—and history would soon catch up with her.

For one thing they're REALLY easy to steal from your front yard. Depending on the model, they come with a lot of measures against theft these days, though admittedly I definitely don’t know how effective these all are. We’ll be shopping for one in the coming months, so hope to find out

Wow, almost like a sad script. The Steelers have always drafted better than most, looks like they got another solid guy.

Didn't they arrest a New Mexico judge yesterday, too?

6.5% is the perfect ABV... citra and cascade hops, that sounds delicious.

Fascinating. Over the years I can still sing bits of Bugs' Wagner... "You're so wuvly" "Yes I know it, I can't help it" "Return my wuv" There's another where he plays piano selections with his ears and feet, and a cheeky mouse living inside also plays bits then has to avoid the hammers

@Horace said in Make America Globalist Again: I think the main pro-isolationism messaging boils down to empathy for people who would have died of a fentanyl overdose, but were saved by a factory job. As a country, we're really, really prioritizing that story. It's a strange thing to put at the top of the economic priority list. Agreed. I don't think it was the factory job by itself. It was the factory job along with the cultural norm of people able to get married and have a regular life if you were willing to buckle down and do an honest day's work. The culture part of the equation is completely ignored.

@Doctor-Phibes Trump had better, seeing that his policy of tariffs and other assorted threats against Canadian sovereignty have single-handedly stolen the election from the Conservative Party of Canada and all but ensured a Liberal Party majority on Monday evening. @Mik Said no Canadian ever. I wish. Sadly, there are a few out here who have crawled out from under their rocks thinking the Trump path to salvation is the new and immutable gospel. I expect they will follow the lead of their MAGAt brethren and demand obedience from the majority of the country following Monday’s election. The rather inept premier of Alberta plays to their anger and keeps it stoked.

I heard that there’s a rumour going around that Hegseth may resign after learning there are Trump tariffs on make up and other grooming products.

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-04-23/two-decades-ago-youtube-uploaded-its-first-video-now-its-a-tv-juggernaut The grainy 19-second YouTube video that started it all hardly had the makings of a viral sensation. Shot at the San Diego Zoo, the primitive video clip showed Jawed Karim, the platform’s co-founder, complimenting the elephants in the frame behind him. “The cool thing about these guys is they have really, really, really long trunks,” Karim said. The clip, titled “Me at the zoo,” was the first video uploaded onto YouTube 20 years ago, opening the door to a new medium of television. and When YouTube first started in San Mateo, its founders weren’t thinking they would take on the television industry. They envisioned it as a dating site where people would upload videos and score them. When that didn’t work, the founders decided to open up the platform for all sorts of videos. Users drove traffic to YouTube by sharing videos on MySpace.

@jon-nyc said in These are the most chaotic airports in the U.S.: JFK and Newark aren’t exactly a joy to get to. Right, but there's the bonus that at the end of the drive that you get to leave New York or NJ. Is that second place a real state or is it like a colony of NY? I'm never sure.
