  3. SB is pretty great overall. Hit Fidel's.
  4. I smell corruption. Everybody knows that the Sheinbaum family is full of optometrists. It's practically the family business.
  5. If Harris runs, Harris wins.
  6. meh. I like her a lot, as an attack dog. I'm not sure I like her as an executive.
  7. A former border patrol agent pleaded guilty to two civil rights violations on Friday for demanding women expose their breasts to be admitted into the U.S., according to officials. Shane Millan, 53, was a United States Border Patrol agent at Wellesley Island in Jefferson County, New York, tasked with remotely processing immigrants crossing the southern border when he began making the demands. Millan’s role was to sign paperwork allowing immigrants to stay in the U.S. pending court hearings. Millan was charged with 4 counts of deprivation of rights under color of law in August, according to a release. He pleaded guilty to two counts Friday for “willfully (depriving) multiple victims of their constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Millan further admitted that he told these women that his requests were for legitimate searches incident to admission into the United States, but he knew his demands to see the victims’ breasts were for his own gratification,” a release reads. In one instance in August, 2023, Millan falsely told a woman her file noted a chest tattoo and asked her to verify multiple times. When she resisted, he threatened to not sign the document. She then complied, showing her bare breasts “for several more seconds.” The woman’s 1-year-old daughter was present during this interaction. “Welcome to the U.S.A.,” he then told her, according to the plea deal. Recommended shit. beat me to it
  8. ha. the same assholes that tried to convince Dillo Pad that he would end up paying the traffic ticket despite the cop's typo. And what happened there? (checks notes) Nevermind.
  9. Quick sidetrack: neighbor here is a retired AA captain. His son also flies for AA, and his daughter-in-law WAS flying for AA, but she quit (instead of taking leave) to be a SAHM, and it's a trainwreck. Neighbor went to visit them, and money is tight. WTF? AA pilots make a great living. Oh. Neighbor goes in garage and counts over 50 unopened Amazon packages. Wife spends all day ordering stupid shit.
  10. just noticed it's on Paramount Plus. Ringo and Jack White open the show with "Matchbox". This looks fun.
  11. MOTHERFUCKER, HOW DARE YOU? THAT IS AN OUTRAGEOUS ALLEGATION. I DEMAND SATISFACTION. MEET ME IN THE TEXAGS.COM PARKING LOT AND PREPARE FOR A THRASHING!!! wait, what? (checks notes) Nevermind. Don't forget "I AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED"
  12. Holy hell, my college GF and I also shared a twin bed on the regular. Her dad had bought her a 1 bedroom condo near campus, and she had a roommate. The roommate's BF lived right across the road, so she slept there almost every night. That twin mattress got a workout. I'd be afraid to guess how much it weighed by the time we were done. I didn't have a mattress scale. Fast forward 30+ years and the GF and I just upgraded to a Cal King from a Queen. I honestly preferred the queen.
  13. yeah, "Intravenous de Milo" has already been used.

  18. President Donald Trump announced on Friday night that he had added Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham to the board of trustees at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The announcement came weeks after Trump fired much of the venue’s board and appointed himself chair. In a post from his Truth Social account, Trump said Bartiromo and Ingraham would be the last people appointed to the center’s board of trustees. “I am thrilled to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will be joining our Kennedy Center Board – This completes our selection,” Trump wrote. “We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!” Other members appointed since Trump took over the Kennedy Center include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s wife, Allison Lutnick and Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance. Bartiromo, Ingraham, Lutnick, and Vance join a board of trustees that includes Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump allies Elaine Chao, Dan Scavino , and Susie Wiles. Longtime Trump ally Richard Grenell currently serves as the president of the Kennedy Center. Bartiromo and Ingraham join the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees a day after Jeffrey Seller, the producer of the musical Hamilton, announced the show would not return with Trump at the helm. Seller said the Kennedy Center was launched “with a sincere bipartisan spirit” and added: However, in recent weeks we have sadly seen decades of Kennedy Center neutrality be destroyed. The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national cultural center represents. This spirit of nonpartisanship ended on February 7, 2025, with the firing of Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter, the Chairman of the Board David Rubenstein, and numerous other Kennedy Center board members, as well as the cancellation of important programming.These actions bring a new spirit of partisanship to the national treasure that is the Kennedy Center. Given these recent actions, our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. Therefore, we have cancelled the third engagement of Hamilton at the Kennedy Center, originally scheduled for March 3-April 26, 2026. Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
  19. Looks as though ACB is a little too chummy with Justice Jackson. Hmmmm. I wonder why they'd be offended by them being friendly? Meanwhie
