I got our grill going today. Made some screaming guac and homemade pico de gallo, then grilled flank steak and chicken fajitas. I mentioned this before, but this has become my favorite meal to grill…

I know you took in a younger terrier over the last couple years. What will you have to do to get him into Italy?

Very cool. And good for him and his parents and teachers letting him do that show.

Yeah, we really should have appreciated our good fortune more when Biden was President.

Brutal. https://x.com/CliffordAsness/status/1910067417398825176

Well, there you go.

I think it was here(?) where somebody, maybe @jolly was talking about this and the "micro bets" (that were mentioned in the article) and how a problem they are, as now individuals are getting harassed a lot of gamblers because they didn't make a shot, score a goal, etc.

Very neat!!

@jon-nyc said in More cosplay from Noem: He noticed the gun pointed at his face and backs up a bit. Why would he do that when she's clearly got the safety on, her finger isn't even in the guard and she's demonstrated in the past that she's a really good shot?

@LuFins-Dad said in Gestational diabetes linked to autism: Cue the vaccines linked to gestational diabetes chorus. Is that the one where the fat lady sings? C'mon, that was at least marginally witty!

Yes what’s often called ‘visual/spatial intelligence is, on average, higher in men than women.

https://wtop.com/arlington/2025/04/near-collision-investigation-reveals-reagan-national-airport-controllers-failed-to-stop-flights-during-military-flyover/ TLDR: Flight controllers didn't hold departures for 5 minutes like they're supposed to during military fly-overs. Also, kudos to a damn article with actual TLDR facts in the title and not clickbait! I'm trying to find the tower audio that the article/CNN heard, but no luck yet...

Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking.

@Horace said in Survey Sez...: @LuFins-Dad said in Survey Sez...: @Horace said in Survey Sez...: @LuFins-Dad said in Survey Sez...: @89th said in Survey Sez...: Me too. I suppose there's the risk that Vance would be better at implementing crazy Trump ideas since Vance is more articulate, but I'd imagine without Trump pressure Vance would be a much more stable and predictable leader, even if he is an earnest paleocon. Not a chance. Could you elaborate? What doesn't have a chance? Vance being more capable of implementing Trump ideas. He may be more articulate, but I don’t think he has the cojones to pull off what Trump does. I don't think he would try. I think the tariffs go away if Trump goes away, at the latest by the next administration. Plus, I don’t think Vance lasts beyond the midterms. Vance is a bit too much of a true believer. True believer in what? Vance is a little too close to that wing of America First (and only) for my taste. Many of his closest political companions are a bit of Autarkatic for my taste. He is very much into protectionism and big government. Reagan, this guy ain’t.

@NobodySock .. I won’t even start, but there’s no amount of cannabis that could kill the pain of envy I have for you now. I’ll have to wait for death and hope for Heaven.

I've heard rumours from un-named sources that Walz and Goldberg used to take turns servicing Ann Coulter whilst at college. Enjoy your lunch!
