as bad as it looks, just be grateful Denny Neagle’s Lonely Mountain Treasure never got past the focus group

Discontinued FOoOoOoOods! 🎃🍫👻🍬 @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · Apr 15

Denny's Lonely Mountain Treasure (2012-2012): Part of the promotional menu for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", this item consisted of seed cake French toast cut into 9 squares, and served in a bowl with a side of cream cheese icing for dipping.

Against a green background, a white bowl is filled with golden-brown cubes of french toast, speckled with seeds. The bowl sits on a pile of rocks, next to a clear bowl filled with white icing. The caption reads "NEW! Lonely Mountain Treasure"

Excellent potted bio of the late Bernie Kerik, a scuzz for the ages. Mind-boggling how he stuff so much corruption (on multiple continents) into one life. Fine reportage like this is why I subscribe to @hellgatenyc.com hellgatenyc.com/city-jail-na...

The Lower Manhattan jail facility briefly bore Kerik's name once before, until he was convicted of corruption.

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

for my part, Sally the only things that gives me pause are her lack of journalism experience or ethics, her sophomoric writing level, the fact that she's a censorious scold, and a virulent Islamophobe but aside from that she's just as good as Les Moonves, the serial sex predator who used to run CBS

it’s almost as though we’re supposed to believe that a “final” Hardys / Dudleys encounter could move approx 4000 more tickets than said match would total on any independent show

It's the being joined at the hip with NXT that makes it make zero sense. How and why is what's undisputedly the weaker brand outdrawing the stronger brand that it's working with by such a significant margin? It doesn't feel remotely possible organically. Why is barely anyone talking about this?

rec of the day NAPE NECK 'the h=shallowest end" (dot dash sounds LP) excellent buzz generated at the recent gonerfest by this great leeds trio, whose first "real" LP recalls little claw at their no waviest, amonst many other DIY-based gut-busting form moves.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

it's 2025 and Will Leitch is calling someone else a failure.

I mean, comparing Arch Manning to Quibi is pretty harsh. It would be sort of like saying Will Leitch was the original Luke Winkie.

The New York Times branded Arch Manning “college football’s first flop,” drawing a backlash from some very unlikely places.

Oregonians will recognize the names of almost all of those people cited on that list. Most have been involved in Proud Boy/Patriot Prayer/far right MAGA activism for several years. Daviscourt, for example, was with Turning Point USA for a few years and is a prolific far right content creator.

There is an entire stable of far right "influencers" cosplaying as journalists who are in Portland "covering" events there. The person who compiled this list was arrested for his actions on January 6. He texted a friend from DC to celebrate that the Proud Boys were "beating the shit" out of BLM.
