The unofficial World Cup Mascot is a duck. No really its a duck.
For those thinking Latin America is at the bottom and worth investing, and one for those that don’t.
Well, rolling blackouts at a Caribbean resort unless you’re in the party inner circle isn’t a good sell.
I’m sure this will make up for gangs taking over entire apartment complexes in Colorado.
This is fun. Milei wants to privatize yet another industry but opened it to foreign investors.
It feels like a Van Halen type of day. Yes, this is a troll, deal with it.
The baby is… near
Tiffany Score and Steven Mills sued the Fertility Center of Orlando and its lead reproductive endocrinologist in January after learning that the daughter whom Score had given birth to a month earlier was not genetically related to her or Mills.
Score and Mills, who are both white, had undergone in vitro fertilization at the Longwood, Florida, clinic and pursued genetic testing because their baby “displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,” their lawsuit said. The testing revealed that the baby, named Shea, was 100% South Asian, according to Score and Mills’ attorney.
They made a deal with the biological parents, and will keep the baby and raise her as their own. No backsies.
The Fertility Clinic of Orlando has faced legal and financial tumult and announced this spring that it would be closing. Another IVF network opened in the same location.
So similar to the restaurant that closes, declares bankruptcy and reopens with the same ownership and staff. The menu is mostly the same too…
Was it run by Somalians?
Nah, if it was run by Somalians it would be taking in receipts for full bookings every night despite the building being shuttered.
Wrong kind of Indian giver.
It’s not the wrong baby, it’s just the Wong baby.
Ah yeah i suppose “south” makes that name joke no good. Ah well.
Wong stereotype.
The lawyer who drafted that line should be awarded a prize. That’s a tough one to translate into legalese.
FU no.
You’re taking the kid and you are compensating me the full price, both of our wages for a year and all the IVF it takes to have my own kid which is going to be harder as she’s a year older.
The new Toy Story movie sounds politically correct.
Of all the evil things that Disney has done, I hate them the most for fucking up Pixar.
Imagine if they expanded their sports holdings instead of selling.
I don’t care about sports. And, I hate what they did to Star Wars; Indiana Jones; the Marvel universe; etc. But Pixar was magical. I want everyone involved castrated/neutered and pushed into homelessness. After a life of despair, then and only then, we might consider putting them out of their misery.
Couldn’t agree more kinnath, early Pixar was incredible. They could do no wrong for a while there.
I was perfectly aged for Toy Story. Eight when the first came out, ending middle school for the sequel, and mid-college for Toy Story 3. Perfect age brackets. I was still all up in my own toy universe when that came out, and by the third I was teaching young kids and say the beauty of passing toys on, etc.
More paper airplanes with the 5yo, at his urgent request. He’s making a teleportation(?) box out of cardboard. I didn’t even show him those! I’m gonna find some in my small collection of the books I still have.
Pixar was great. Haven’t seen many since *looks at list* Toy Story 3 in 2010. I love Up. Also a bit after, I fucking *love* Inside Out. I think they did a fantastic job. That’s the last I’ve seen by them.
I have only seen Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and WALL-E but I really like all of those.
Brave was the beginning of the end.
Inside Out was excellent. Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 were watchable but disappointing overall.
I’ve seen nothing after Toy Story 4.
Toy Story — Excellent
A Bug’s Life — Very Good
Toy Story 2 — Excellent
Monster’s Inc — Excellent
Finding Nemo — Excellent
The Incredibles — Fucking Brilliant
Ratatouille — Fucking Brilliant
WALL-E — Very Good
Up — Fucking Brilliant
Toy Story 3 — Brilliant
Your mileage may very.
By the way, my kids were gone before Toy Story came out.
I watched every Pixar as a middle-aged adult and loved them. They were some of the most intelligent movies ever put out on film.
Do not make me watch Up again.
That opening…. 😥
My wife hates UP.
It’s a meh for me.
Grupo Mexico Transportes USA is a unit of Grupo Mexico, a Mexico-based conglomerate. Several other companies have also expressed interest in bidding, according to local media. They include miner Rio Tinto and an agricultural consortium made up of Bunge, Cargill, Louis Dreyfus Company, Asociacion de Cooperativas Argentinas and Aceitera General Deheza.
Rio Tinto? They come up every now and then in Mike Benz’s videos like this one.
I have a share. It has made me money, UNLIKE BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY!
Wish I had known about that one a year ago.
The Trump administration has targeted the tourism sector, a key source of income for Cuba’s beleaguered government, as part of its pressure campaign against the island’s leadership.
Makes sense, since that’s about the only way that Cuba can get its mitts on hard currency.
Benighted Europoors and Canucks who can’t afford a trip to Disney are one of the island’s primary resources.
Yes, this is a troll, deal with it.
Heh. Sometimes I think we don’t torment the commenters anywhere near enough.
Oui our hear four it.
DLR Van Halen > Sammy Van Halen
fight me
I actually agree with that on a singing/performance level. Too bad DLR was such an ass.
Torture us too much, and none of us will write a letter of reference for you when it comes time to dip into California’s set-asides for the QUILTBAGs.
lol WTF is that??

That’s gay!
That’s funny.
Will a sex tape work?
I am at a loss for words. Why are we putting up with any of that crap? Fucking commies.
certifiably
A sex tape will work, but only if not gay-for -pay.
Cuba is beating the US in defossilizing its economy. Take that capitalist pigs.
Bravo!
I mean, it worked in North America.
We’ve had sanctions on Cuba for about 2/3 of a century now, and they’ve been able to freely trade with every other country on earth during that same time. I wonder what’s so special about American money that the lack of it has a country rich in natural resources looking worse than the countries in the sandbox upon which we spent 25 years dropping bombs.
American money, especially taxpayer money, is magical. Only American money can do all the good that the world wants. Their currencies are powerless to solve problems.
Are we blockading them now? I couldn’t figure out from various blurbs.
Turns out, pretending to be European is jiu-jitsu to progressive busybodies.
I’ve been told that I can pull off a reasonable English accent (when I’m drunk). I’ll have to give that a try…
I can’t even pull off an American Accent. I had people in the same school I was going to from the same town I grew up in ask me where I was from because of the way I spoke.
It could be thought that I avoided speaking ‘ghetto’ dialect.
Visiting CA in the early aughts I saw a guy say something to another guy about outdoor smoking. Haven’t seen it in the Austin area, but I’m also not a smoker, so I’m not as likely to see it.

The donut spare is brilliant.
Moloch in the Regulatory State
At least we still have Eddie Van Halen.
lol. They had the best of intentions.

There is a reason co ops sell at a discount.
Fuck you, cut spending.
Hate me if you want.
I like Van Hagar.
I was just in one of Guy Fieri’s restaurants. He served a “Guy Tai” that was made with Sammy Hagar’s rum. It was delicious.
So much to unpack. My favorite:
Jewish schoolgirls get lost in NY creek tunnel; antisemitism ensues online
No, I’m sorry it is that simple.
A former Kansas mayor wasn’t a US citizen, but voted. His supporters say it’s not that simple.

Tiny Jersey Shore ‘tear-down’ hits the market for $2.3 million
If I’m buying a $2.3m lot there are many other places at the shore I’d pick first.
The Nation writes about the Free State Project and it is more evenhanded than I thought it would be.
Young Republicans differ on whether the role the Free Staters play in their state is positive. Henry argues for transparency and believes that voters have a right to know whether or not a given candidate is a traditional Republican or a libertarian, saying, “I think if people are going to run as a Republican, even though they’re not, they should be honest about that.”
Even so. Free Staters have fans across the Republican coalition. Take 21-year-old Matthew Brooks. He’s running for state representative too, and he’s not a full-blown libertarian—he supports retaining funding for public schools—but organizing like-minded people to move to the state is what leads him to support the project.
“I think it’s cool that they’re trying to move more liberty-focused people into the state,” Brooks said.
I like it. One of my major problems with Republicans is they fuzz what they believe in, and all the sudden turn into socialists once in office.
More details emerge on Iran deal
Newly revealed details of the secretive US-Iran MOU lay out that it would extend the cease-fire to Lebanon, allow Iran to manage the Strait of Hormuz, temporarily waive Iranian oil sanctions and establish a pathway toward a comprehensive peace agreement, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Tuesday.
It makes no concrete promises regarding Iran’s nuclear program outside of a pledge never to produce or obtain a nuclear weapon and the willingness to have further discussions about other details in a 60-day negotiation period that will begin after the document’s signing ceremony on Friday.
