The ruling on the field is an interception by the defense, fumbled by the defense, recovered by the offense, fumbled by the offense, and recovered by the defense. First down.

What a game. This is the zenith of Big Ten football. Voracious defense. Hard running. No easy points.

If you’re a doomer, you’re a mark. You bought what these scheming assholes are selling. Don’t buy it. Get smart and dig in.
Zero tolerance for doomerism. Stop lazily accepting that everything is screwed forever. Stop normalising low expectations. That’s part of the problem & it’s what the bastards want. It’s also a product of privilege. People in more desperate situations don’t have the option to just sit back & shrug.

What I love about her response is that she didn’t just object to their appropriation of her song — she excoriated them. Denounced them. When she says “inhumane agenda” she is taking back the language of morality. Fire and brimstone in a sparkly stage outfit. Righteous rage is our fuel.
Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

Living through this period in history has really clarified certain truths. One is that despite all my rage, I really am just a rat in a cage. Also, the cage has the liquid cocaine dispenser from that study on rats, and it’s called Kalshi/Polymarket/DraftKings/FanDuel etc. etc.

Am I…supposed to care that there were drugs in the damn boat, Admiral? Also, no — on second thought, I don’t think I will address you as Admiral, Mr. Bradley. I am a civilian and citizen of the United States, and in the absence of a legitimate President, you report to me.

Well, isn’t that just so generous of you. Could you elaborate on that bit about “cultures?” Which ones are those, and what are their characteristics?
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

Listen to a good recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, then realize he conjured this all from memory. He was basically completely deaf at this point in his life.

Here’s a thought: Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” is an interpretation of American country music through the ears of the most excellent Mr. David Gilmour.

They don’t know Woke 2 is coming, and it’s transatlantic. Universal. Intergalactic. Don’t go woke? OK, sure. You’ll die in the climate dislocation. We heal the world and build a worldwide society, raising everyone to the same level of material comfort, or we’re beyond cooked. Carbon and ash.
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

The Viking: What are they doing up in Minneapolis? A fireable offense, in my opinion, to pass on Darnold and Jones, and throw McCarthy to the wolves like this. Yes, he may be straight-up booty, but he’s getting killed out there. You have an incredible roster and aren’t doing them justice.

These are from my garden. This is actually the pic for the label for one of the sauces I make. Strictly small time, local farmers markets and such. Not profitable so far, but it’s fun.

We cook our turkeys from frozen. And they’re always excellent. Juicy, browned, tasty. We get up at 5:00 AM and put the turkey in at the typical 350° with a few more hours on it. When you actually get out of bed, take out the giblets, gravy bag, etc. At noon, it’s typically ready, but def. temp it.
my dad makes excellent turkey and taught me how to make excellent turkey, and my mother in law also makes excellent turkey, so I really do agree that this is a Skill Issue
I’ve blown a few turkey-hating minds with the Chinese-style Woks of Life turkey recipe with five spice and a honey glaze

I’ve won many bets by people who said that they hate turkey by serving them a brined spatchcocked turkey that’s cooked right.
