This is going to be great! Bunch of Saints fans roving the streets of Paris, correcting peoples pronunciation of things, boiling shellfish on the sidewalks, and generally getting revenge for them selling out NOLA 220 years ago.
The NFL has made it official, announcing the New Orleans Saints will host a game in Paris during the 2026 season at France's largest stadium.

Did not expect to cry to @paulscheer.com, usually I laugh, but damn, nice work!
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

6 yr old: Santa isn’t real because he uses magic and magic isn’t real and so he’s not real.
Me: Well, we’ll see how many presents the guy you think isn’t real leaves under the tree for you on Christmas.

For your daily nightmare fuel, the trees around Cherynobl are not decaying b/c the microbes, fungi, & bacteria that help them decay are not there. So it’s greatly increasing the fire risk in the no-go zone, which is its own kind of terrible b/c the forest is radioactive.

Symbolism too on the nose.
'I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,' North Carolina driver tells 911
It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it.
