  1. I have to thank my air fryer for changing that to late night Thanksgiving hot turkey drumstick
  2. I keep waiting for Julia Davis to drop the Russian media monitor to find out what those idiots are saying after the attack. Naturally, I assume they will be threatening nuclear destruction to everyone in the world, because they always do. But I’m really wondering if they’re gonna tell everyone in the country that they’ve lost an estimated $7 billion worth of strategic bombers. it took them decades to assemble those planes in those quantities. I’m sure our SAC is delighted.
  3. i’m just trying to imagine the logistics of every wooden crate and truck in Russia being inspected 15 times a day for the next forever. What a glorious long-term gift from last night.
  4. we tried hard to overcome this highly technical issue of not being very good, but to no avail
  5. Er’body supposed to be SEC. And yet we all keep falling like panties at a Chi-O social.
  6. you’re goddamn right. Whoever you played the next series is absolutely blameless - and more importantly, their fans and alumni are not to be blamed…
  7. I know this is my mantra, and I know that everybody is sick of hearing it, but literally the death of critical thinking will be the end of humanity. We had a nice run from the Renaissance till now, but apparently what we really want as a species is to return to “Og no understand why lost job…. Church and neighbor people say browns and blacks and white traitors who went to woke college at fault - OG SMASH!!!!” is apparently our evolutionary process now.
  8. But doesn’t make a difference, whether it’s senility or reptilian alien lithium battery depletion?
  9. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/30/megabill-policies-senate-parliamentarian-byrd-rule-00375507 this article is certainly worth a read in explaining how the Senate might potentially derail some of the most egregious house inserted provisions of the one big shitty bill.
  10. “ I told Putin that he should listen to me, but he did not listen to me. He needs to listen to me in the future.. Russia is a beautiful country as are parts of Ukraine, and they should end this terrible war. They obviously can’t end the war without my help and so I’m going to be even more involved in the future. Turkey failed to end the war miserably without my involvement. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
  11. This makes absolute sense. Stalin foolishly had all of those new air fields near their western border that was easily accessible to the Luftwaffe. Hitler’s surprise attack did a great job of establishing day one air superiority. I think Germany destroyed something like 2000 (?) Soviet planes in opening operations. On one hand, that devastation far exceeds yesterday’s less than 40 planes. But on the other hand, it is similar in that your foe traveled thousands of miles and struck you and you had no idea it was coming.. But since those bombers were destroying civilian targets regularly, the comparison to Pearl Harbor fails when considering the moral culpability for conducting the attack without warning. Their propaganda continues to be “how dare the country we invaded protect itself?” That is going to be a tough sale - winning hearts and minds for Russia when it was a strictly military target Ukrainian operation.
  12. Bringing manufacturing jobs to Great Britain….
  13. Take this with a grain of salt because it came from X, but several posters on different threads have this quote from undisclosed Russian media source: I am including it without confirmation because it seems to be very much in line with Russia’s World War II ego-centric view of things. It appears the translation might be a British source based on the spelling of harbour?
  14. Break this bitch open.
  15. To me, it’s a matter of degree. If you have a core belief that business and our economy doing well as what’s best for the country and the source of the continued health of our democracy and nation, then you can reconcile yourself with GOP policies that may have hurt the little guy to some extent if it led to a robust economy. If you view a good economy as the key to all good things in our country, you can surely overlook individual instances where people on the low economic end of the spectrum (here, read minorities ) take a hit from some of the policies. That is completely different to seeing millions of undocumented immigrants who are good neighbors contributing to the economy and helping that precious economy being treated like criminals, regardless of their being in the country for decades, not causing any harm, but helping out established businesses in many industries that require undocumented labor because citizen white people don’t want to do it - then the combination of the assault on the economy and the destruction of many industries, combined with horrific human suffering on a bunch of people in a scale exceeding what you were willing to put up with previously would lead a rock rib,old school republican to turn on the current guys. I always consider myself the last Rockefeller Republican on earth, and thought that conservative business models combined with progressive social issues was the way to go. As long as that business model was not bullshit trickle down. Which is all to say - I could see how those guys came from where they were to where they are.
  16. Kavan! Out fucking standing Horns.
  17. How do you say “rude” in Italian?
  18. The team that is a <checks notes> baseball team? Last year we needed the final season series to get to .500 to accept a bid. Which took us to the semifinals in Omaha. Tournament time is always interesting because everyone is usually starting their ace and can be a one game Superman. Sucky teams like ‘24 Florida can beat better teams to win a regional and super regional. There is nothing about ‘25 Florida that says a suckier team can’t beat us. We were 1-11 in conference to start the year. i’m just happy we got a bid and some tournament experience to help us in future years. And I’m not sure how many people there are in your “we”. There aren’t that many people that usually jump on the Helobious opinion train.
