  1. Fun fact: the Arch is 630 feet tall and 630 feet wide. Doesn't look it.
  2. My wife, who is hardly a political firebrand, went to the No Kings rally in Austin today. Some lady gave her this sign, and I'm very proud of her for carrying it throughout:
  3. It's not the first time they've used it. They used it extensively during the 2020 campaign. Fogerty was on record as being amused & confused about their seeming ignorance about the point of the song, which was exactly Trump's experience -- family wealth leveraged to evade the war.
  4. Somebody who knows more about the interwebs than I do (which is all of you) . . . is this verifiable? Not the flag part, that's pretty easy to determine (see Russian flag below), but is this a real tweetxtruthwhatever?
  5. My sis sent me this press photo from St. Louis. Pretty damn cool.
  6. It would not bother me one bit if the rest of the world -- all of it -- instituted a travel ban against United States citizens.
  7. So I can only assume Dr. Boelter (EdD) will be receiving the same level of scorn from MAGAts as they levied against Dr. Jill Biden, right? Right?
  8. I don't understand why it matters who the offer comes from, but this isn't my industry. I think I've had 20%-25% lowball offers on virtually every house I've sold.
  9. Gil also doesn't know why Chuck Berry is held in high regard. How many people have Sweet Little Sixteen on their Spotify playlist? Fucking Scott Joplin, what a loser.
  10. Somebody let me know when Babylon Bee gets funny.
  11. That's a 25% discount. What level of discount doesn't piss you off?
  12. Nice police work there, guys. Unrelated: Hortman was considered the 2nd-highest ranking Democrat in Minnesota. This is not a Democrat who was angry about one vote.
  13. Au contraire. Just this week Trump pointed out how the price of eggs has dropped 400% since he took office.
  14. Here's the thing: this can't be hand-waved away as anything other than political violence. It wasn't a lover's quarrel -- it was two different politicians, one man, one woman, and their spouses. Both were Democrats. It was politically motivated, period.
  15. "American".
  16. Not a good week for Bonnaroo. One of its co-founders John Mayers died on Tuesday at age 51.
  17. John Ludwick, Charlie Roison & Bruce Robison:
  18. Don't count your chickens. Bonnaroo has been canceled. Weather. I'm glad the girls got to do their set, but at least half the artists won't do the same.
  19. I watched that video. By the end I was so tired of that stupid riff I was searching for an ice pick to either deafen or lobotomize myself.
  20. I am not disputing that autonomous driving might be safer over, oh I don't know 1B accumulated miles per year? I honestly don't know. I see failures like the one from Austin and I immediately think "wait a minute, are we going to be adding more and more vehicles that DON'T know to stop at a school bus when the lights are blinking and the stop sign is out?" That was a horrible failure. Unless it is negated by enough tests to prove that the Tesla is actually more safe in that scenario than human drivers have shown to be over decades, then no, it's a non-starter.
  21. I went to these two in St. Louis. No complaints other than Sammy Hagar sucked as a headliner:
  22. Wow. So you think it may have been intentionally driving through the flashing lights and stop sign to make Tesla FSD look bad?
  23. I just realized I never saw Nazareth live. Big swing and a miss. But I did see Blue Oyster Cult, so in the spirit of this thread I submit:
  24. The real Carl Spackler or our Carl Spackler?
