  1. Tell me you've never been to Missouri, without telling me you've never been to Missouri.
  2. We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela. “Fernandomania” swept through baseball in 1981 when the 20-year old rookie sensation began the season 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA. The lefthander capped off his incredible year by winning both the NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards while helping lead Los Angeles to a World Series title. Valenzuela pitched 17 Major League seasons, was a 6-time All-Star, and has the most wins (173) and strikeouts (2,074) of any Mexican-born pitcher. He spent the last 22 years as a Spanish language broadcaster for the Dodgers, who retired his No. 34 in 2023. He was 63.
  3. The only thing keeping him from demonizing Muslims right now instead of Haitians (or the GQP as a whole going after trans folks) is probably Michigan. We can laugh at how fucking stupid and ignorant he sounds when he talks about Haitians eating pets or why all of the geese disappeared (they fucking migrated) but most likely, regardless of how fucking stupid he can be, as well as the people around him, he has made the calculated decision that trashing Haitians is not going to cost him any more Black votes than he's already lost (or never had in the first place). I think Michigan will go for Kamala, but in order for him to win, Trump has to believe that Michigan is in play, and he can't help Kamala out by going after Muslims, even though MAGA would love for him to shit on Muslims some more. He is a dumb motherfucker on a lot of things, but he can read audiences, unlike his running mate.
  4. And the RGV. Actually all along the border, all over billboards in Houston, DFW, and San Antonio.
  5. If Trump is coming all the way to Texas for a single podcast, things must be far worse for him than we know. It's obviously not about Texas, but it's another chance for him to say some really unhinged shit.
  6. Jones and the Ron Paul Revolution laid the ground work in the 90s (I say this as a former libertarian). Musk and Rogan are here for tax reasons, although I'm sure Rogan is piggybacking off the large number of people whose vehicles sported an Infowars bumper sticker at some point in the past 25 years.
  7. She should have ended it with a line about how the 18 year-old Black male made her feel especially welcome and left her happy with his service.
  8. Oh yeah, at least one relative manages to set off the fall detection alarm every month or two. It pings us with a map of their location and if there's no response from them for one minute it calls 911 with coordinates. Can also do the same thing if it detects a car crash. The heart stuff, I think is something additional my dad has, either an extra app that he can use to check things, or a separate device.
  9. Preferably wearing them while being photographed in each of the rooms of the apartment and condo.
  10. If she were an attention whore, it would be a great way to try and get paid while also dropping hints that she banged him.
  11. Solid couple of episodes to start things off, and glad they aren't stingy with the budget.
  12. Most of us were smart dumb enough to have a big get-together on Lake Travis, around the deepest part of the lake, to show off our firearms to each other, and then somebody did something brilliant foolish and all of the firearms were lost overboard.
  13. Do you have a smart watch connected to a phone? Those can be set to contact family members and if no response within X amount of time, they start calling 9/11 with your location. Or they can be set to call 911 with your location anyways. We've gotten watches for my parents/in-laws/step-parents, and when they've fallen or done something that triggered their watch (such as my dad's heart condition edit: which maybe an additional app or something else), we get blasted on our own phones with a map popping up with their locations and what the watch thinks happened. If I recall right, a countdown timer kicked in either on the original watch/phone or on our watches/phones, and if we or the relative who was having the problem didn't respond within X amount of time, it was notifying 9/11. It's jarring for family members when it happens because shit gets real, but I love those features for a couple of relatives who live alone. Note: I've not seen the process go all the way to automatically 9/11 - it was resolved by the relatives calling 9/11 or being taken off to the hospital or doctor.
  14. Yep. The border/immigration, inflation, abortion, are all losers for them. LBGTQ is the only group they can attack.
  15. Go in any adult store and you can order an Arnold Palmer.
  16. That’s my sister’s father-in-law, it’s a shame you didn’t have a microwave around, you could have turned it on and he would have pissed his pants and thought he was Randy Quaid. I was pleased with how fast my line moved when I voted. Still wish we had mail-in ballots, but early voting rules.
  17. I can tell you that in the early 90s, even after we saw how shitty their stuff was in the Gulf War, we were still training for the Fulda Gap. Some of it was just sheer momentum - turning the US military’s training and priorities around were not easy back then (slightly better these days) but plenty still didn’t trust them. They maybe a paper tiger now, but lest we forget, quantity still does have a quality all its own. Until the Soviet Union fell apart, we were always training and buying hardware with the mindset that we’d be outnumbered, and the Ukrainians are having to put that idea into actual practice here in 2024. It does seem like the Ukrainians have been slowly brining that number gap down.
  18. Harris should lay out her views on Arnold Palmer's dick size, because apparently it's a big enough issue that Trump felt the need to start a rally off by talking about it. And everybody here really should be asking their MAGA relatives why Trump is thinking about the dick of a guy who has been dead for almost a decade.
  19. Absolutely blows away Melania. Even younger lesbian photo-op Melania.
