Sorry, no clever title for today.
The girlfriend and I watched Punisher: One Last Kill. It is bad. It is meaningless. It serves no purpose. It also doesn’t help connect Born Again to Spider-Man. Long story short, the audio wasn’t the problem.
This sums up my entire interest in the Odyssey.
I desire more options for cuts.
I see the first mistake.
I present the Redneck Lottery.
The AP, picking up the White Man’s Burden.
The study only tested Canadians, so I question the conclusion.
Glad that all the other problems are solved.
Alright ethical vegans, put down the pesticide.
You fucked up. You trusted us.

For the drink this week, let’s move onto a national drink… of Trinidad and Tobago.
Queens Park Swizzle
- 3 parts (0.75 oz) simple syrup
- 8 parts (2 oz) rum (white is traditional, demerara is frequently used)
- 4 parts (1 oz) lime juice
- 8-10 mint leaves
- 4 dashes Angostura Bitters
This drink traces back to the 1920s likely based on an older drink or a mere rename of a drink that existed before. Due to the pull of the hotel, the name stuck, and the drink grew in popularity. This is a drink that is built in the glass, no shaker needed. Start by adding the simple and mint to the bottom of a collins or hurricane glass, and muddling it gently (bruised and battered, not torn and shredded). Top with the rum, lime juice, and half of the bitters. Now you’re going to fill that glass nearly to the top with crushed/pebble ice and stir it. Traditionally you would use a twig to do this, but in the modern era, we have swizzle sticks or bar spoons for this purpose. Stir until the outside of the glass starts to frost, mound more crushed/pebble ice on top (creating a little mound at the top), garnish with the other two dashes of bitter and a mint bouquet. Stick a straw in, and enjoy.
With that, I leave you to your weekend. I hope you enjoy it.
I don’t get it.
Why don’t people cut ties with the thieves in China? It’ll hurt less in the long run to shut down the links now.
Every corporation says “a billion untapped consumers” and promptly give away their business.
whaddup doh’
No clue.
No clue at all.
I’m once again limping into the weekend (no pun intended). I had a very busy week with few results to show for it.
How YOU doin?
I just spent an entire day trying to get one stupid f’in thing to work. From a dozen different angles. And… nothing.
I’ve got bread doh’ in the fridge for tomorrow morning.
I mentioned that “vocal fry” article as well.

Surprisingly from the Top Men there:
Plus the bonus of this quote:
Soppy, nope, we are not dropping the standards of professonalism because like, speaking like an adult is hard ‘n stuff.
*Sorry, nope…
I typ gud.
I’m waiting for the defense of uptalk.
It’s good to question established orthodoxies? Like, asking questions? So, like, it’s good if everything sounds like a question?
Chipping Pioneer:
Another Canadian, talking the way ‘merican’s won’t. 🙂
Hate to break it to him, but 2024 was the correction.
Americans saw what happens when the wokescolds can run amok without adult supervision, and they wanted no part of it.
You don’t understand. Arranging districts to secure black Democrats seats is the exact opposite of gerrymandering.
White man at the heart of TN redistricting sadly retires from being the authentic representative of Memphis black people.
They respected him for saying it.
This is the authentic representative of Memphis black people.
Obviously the electorate is coming to their senses and would like to return to the true path of leftism.
I tapped out after a couple sentences. Who has time for that tedious whining?
He walked the talk. He discussed the injection he had given himself when he’d had a bout of ED.
I wonder if the doctor actually performed that injection or did something else. Or is just making it all up.
“The EEOC is here to protect all workers from anti-American bias. Nothing justifies illegal national origin discrimination, and we will vigorously enforce federal laws to restore dignity to the American worker.”
Oh.
“I speak Mexican jive”
/Why are you laughing?
Mexisota?
Eh, the EEOC has brought dumber cases.
Man Man did it better.
Also Odyssey
Also Odyssey
Admittedly, I grew up in the north where wypipo still perform construction labor, but that’s pretty tame compared to the shit I heard on my dad’s job sites.
I bet they even called him gringo.
When N.Y.U. made the announcement two weeks ago, a few students began poring over Dr. Haidt’s writing and speeches and then went public with their concerns. They took offense at some of his remarks, as well a class lecture from 2014.
Of course they did.
“I’m sure he wrote something in the past that we can claim is offensive today!”
This sums up my entire interest in the Odyssey.
They should just scrap the movie and make a new one about a Greek restaurant called The Odyssey. That would support the casting choices. Elliot Page is a bus boy in this one.
Oh Shiiiiitttt!!!!!!
He almost made it, gotta give him that.
Shouldn’t there be a barrier there? But yeah he prolly saw it coming either way.
Damn. Nickel Plate heritage unit, too.
Nickel Plate rail-to trail is in Noblesville, right near me.
I bet that driver was tanked!
The first thing I noticed on the San Diego budget link is that cutting non-tax fees is categorized as “new expenses”.
Shhh… they’re trying to teach you!
And all the cuts are accompanied with the number of poors / government employees “affected”.
“You can’t park there.”
“Hold my beer!”
I think that’s one of GM’s China Buick imports. But they all look the same to me.
It’s on brand if it is a Buick.
I’m not even sure I know what vocal fry is, but there are a couple of commercials featuring women whose voices make me want to strangle them as soon as they begin to speak.
If you want the hear nails on a chalkboard you get get multiple videos of it on YouTube.
Everything with a brain and a central nervous system feels pain by that definition. How’ that’s processed as a subject experience in a creature with a brain that may or may not even be advanced enough to experience consciousness is another question.
Crime of the century
Whether legal or not, I am of the strong opinion that this is an attempt at the largest theft ever by an American politician. It is a conflict of interest so enormous that the term itself doesn’t even really capture what’s happening.
In fact, last month, a federal judge in the case gave Trump’s private lawyers and the government’s attorneys until May 20 to explain how the case isn’t a scam to enrich the president, writing, “Although President Trump avers that he is bringing this lawsuit in his personal capacity, he is the sitting president and his named adversaries are entities whose decisions are subject to his direction.” The judge added that it “raises questions here over whether the Parties here are truly antagonistic to each other.”
Like when former EPA employees at EarthJustice sue former EarthJustice employees at the EPA?
What we couldn’t get through the legislature we will get through consent decrees.
lol
As if any of his many evils can stay concealed for more than a microsecond. 🙄
It’s pretty scuzzy regardless of who is doing it.
And this is why you pay $30,000 a year for a Bloomberg terminal.
What isn’t shown in this video is that properly using one is very similar to coding. It has its own language. I knew about 10 commands by memory. OTH traders know 100s.
When you see some trading desk 8 different screens this is what is going to be on many of them.
They’re essentially trying to find a settlement that would be agreeable to Trump, and shovel a ton of cash over to him in return for him dropping the suit. The mob has a word for that kind of move: “shakedown.”
No one has ever taken as much money in the history of the nation as Trump is attempting to hoover up from the federal government right now.
The sum Trump is asking for, $10 billion, is the same amount in childcare subsidies that he froze last year. It is almost enough to fund federal disaster relief for a year. It is enough to fund the entire National Park Service for five years. It’s enough to fund the Peace Corps for 20 years. And it could all go straight into the Trump family coffers.
OH
MY
GOD!
Do you know how many Somali learing centers that could fund!
a office full of hospices in every major city
This is what life looks like under a mad king; every day brings a new “let them eat cake” moment.
And now, as Americans suffer through the war and the economy that Trump imposed on them, he is thinking about helping himself to billions more of your money.
We’re going to need a bigger fainting couch.
At this point I can give two shits considering how way more is funneled to NGO’s and fraudulent daycares and such.
Yowza, that is some hot horseradish.
At this point I can give two shits considering how way more is funneled to NGO’s and fraudulent daycares and such.
Same here.
And we all know the Obamas barely had two nickels to rub together when they left the White House.
wrt the Odyssey, I’m waiting for streaming or whatever.
So I can FF through the stupid parts.
At best that might leave you the credits.
Starmer is out there threatening to arrest any far-right loons who think borders, citizenship, or culture matter. He’s not going to tolerate any provocation against diverse communities. They can’t help it if they start attacking Brits in their own country protesting against their presence that they pay to support.
It’s funny. He’s blocking provocateurs who oppose this crap from traveling to the country to participate in this. Come here believing that ISIS just didn’t go far enough and that white women who don’t cover themselves deserve to be raped? Come on in, cultural enricher!
