  1. For me it's the Pan Flute, with a sizable gap between it and 2nd place, the didgeridoo.
  2. I've never heard of the El Chico frozen dinners, but I worked at El Chico through college. I don't know if it's nostalgia, or just conditioning through eating there so often, but if I could figure out exactly how to make cheese and onion enchiladas with chili con carne gravy, or chicken chimichangas like we served there I would make that shit twice a week.
  3. True, but they've already bought him- At least the Saudis have. And, unbelievably, the financial judgment against him really doesn't impact his chances of getting elected.
  4. I It's a Meme SPAC stock, It's already a Pump and Dump. For him to make $500M at the current price he'd have to sell about 13.5M in stock. The current average volume is about 3.5M shares a day. There's just no way he can put that many shares on the market. It just won't happen. What WILL happen is that he'll try to collateralize his position by getting a loan on it. No legitimate funding source is going to do that though. Not for this turd burger. The whole company isn't worth $500M, let alone $5B. Some random billionaire or foreign source might give the cash as a Quid Pro Quo, but that's his only hope, and the SEC and federal prosecutors are watching.
  5. That whole stock is propped up by small money as it is. They do that and it'll tank faster than you can say Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
  6. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1770996133910712753.html?utm_campaign=topunroll Woah. Ted Cruz’s Super PAC just reported receiving $214,752.98 from iHeartMedia in February in a new FEC filing. iHeartMedia is a registered lobbyist—they also host and market his podcast. Two years ago Cruz’s office said: “Senator Cruz receives no financial benefit from Verdict.There is no difference between Sen. Cruz appearing on a network television show, a cable news show or a podcast airing on iHeartMedia.” Ted Cruz’s Podcast Deal With iHeartMedia May Violate Ethics Laws, Watchdog Says In New ComplaintiHeartMedia, a registered lobbyist, is providing Cruz's podcast with production and marketing assistance. It also will air Verdict with Ted Cruz on some of its terrestrial radio stations.https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2022/12/01/ted-cruzs-podcast-deal-with-iheartmedia-may-violate-ethics-laws-watchdog-says-in-new-complaint/?sh=799625f24fa3 Also—after filming his podcast in an iHeart studio for years, he mysteriously stopped filming them a month ago. The same month his PAC gets a couple hundred thousand dollars from them? The Senate ethics rules prohibit senators from “knowingly accepting a gift from a registered lobbyist” or from collecting honorarium for an “appearance, speech, or article.” iHeartMedia has spent $915,000 lobbying Congress last quarter.
  7. I think the thing that makes this douchenozzle my most hated politician is just how extreme he is with this kind of pandering. He knows better. He knows exactly what she means- what are the predicate offenses? No cop or prosecutor is going to go up to someone and say, "I'm charging you with the crime of Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act."
  8. The fatal flaw is that the US judicial branch, like the Executive and Legislative, assumes good faith and general competency. Whoops.

  10. Jeebus. To think that any (let alone lots) of brown people are going to vote for this shitstain is unfathomable to me. He hates you.
  11. The Vikings are definitely wanting to trade up for a QB. They know it'll take (at least) two 1st rounders but really don't want to trade next year's, because they know it might be a really high one. I'm guessing there's already a handshake agreement to deal it away.
  12. Counterpoint: https://www.thewrap.com/the-holdovers-plagiarized-luca-writer-claims-robert-king/ Maybe it's a nothing burger after all.
  13. Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’ Accused of Plagiarism by ‘Luca’ Writer https://variety.com/2024/film/news/the-holdovers-accused-plagiarism-luca-writer-1235935605/ Long article, but really interesting- and pretty convincing honestly.

  15. I saw it yesterday with my son. We really enjoyed it. I usually don't go to crowded movie theaters because I am very easily distracted by other movie goers and it ruins the experience. It wasn't a problem in this case. The only time I even knew there were other people in the theater was when Christopher Walken spoke a line. There was audible laughter sprinkled throughout the theater. I thought it was pretty unfortunate really, that one skit on SNL has made his very voice a punchline. Anyone else notice that?
  16. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/03/08/sheldon-johnson-collin-small-body-parts-freezer/72893473007/ "Police said officers responded to Small's Bronx home to conduct a welfare check on Tuesday night and found a headless torso in the apartment. Responding paramedics pronounced the victim dead at the scene ..." I guess it's a good thing EMS was there, because you never know.
  17. ‘Deez-Nuts’ arrested, charged with battery https://www.wfla.com/news/national/man-named-deez-nuts-arrested-charged-with-battery/ A man in Green Bay with a one-of-a-kind first name was taken into custody after an alleged disturbance on the city’s east side. According to a criminal complaint obtained by Local 5, 42-year-old Deez-Nuts Kroll was arrested following an incident involving a gun. On March 5 around 10 p.m., officers were sent to the 900 block of East Walnut Street for a reported disturbance. When officers got to the scene, two people were brought to a squad car and placed in the back. Additionally, officers took Kroll into custody and he was reportedly standing outside with no shirt on. The complaint says that Kroll appeared to be highly intoxicated, but he did follow officers’ commands. It is always mentioned that authorities identified Kroll by his Wisconsin ID card which said ‘Deez-Nuts Lee Kroll’.
