BTW, new people, these fools are Fusilli (I know, I know, best puli name ever) and Celosa. They sometimes stop by, mainly to ask for food, but sometimes to accept adoration.

Did you know it's a norm here to use alt text? It helps people who can't see the photos very well, sometimes with humor.

Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

Average US newspaper article is like "We talked to fifteen experts who say Donald Trump is racist, but we found a guy named Burt who lives in Hitlerville, Ohio and believes Obama is from Pluto who says otherwise"

And no focus group should be anywhere near it unless the focus group is entirely made up of weirdos (laudatory).
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I love the Olympics.
First runs of men's luge kick off at 11:00 AM ET, we'll have 25 sliders take 3 runs (as long as they stay upright), top 20 go to the 4th run.

Germany, Austrian and Italy will factor in the medals, there's a chance for Latvia to sneak their way in.

This is the future that (Texas) liberals want: taxpayer-funded goats clearing invasives from public parks & restoring the health of native prairie.

Repeatedly extending the presumption of good faith to people who quite explicitly operate in bad faith is, at base, disrespecting yourself.

Vance undermining the US Olympic Team would be too on the nose
American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.

“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.
Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.
Alysa Liu and world champion dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates have the Americans leading the team event after day one.

I was radicalized years ago by getting added to a food writers forum in which I learned that the food writing industry is so godawful that many recipe writers end up just making things up or estimating because they aren't given time to try out the recipes. It's not you!

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Manifesting
Back when they wanted to put Reagan’s head on the thing, park employees explained that any addition would likely destroy the monument because of structural weakness on either side. I’m guessing the people telling them “no and here’s why” have all been fired so hey, it just might happen.

Woah.
Mitchell D Webber, a partner at the Law firm Paul Weiss, using his Harvard email, asked about sex tourism targeting children.
