  1. Hearing that the Kennedy picked to be #2 under Ratcliffe has been pulled after some of the background dirt on her emerged. Must be bad if its worse than whats out there on Tulsi and Hegseth. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/tom-cotton-torpedoes-amaryllis-fox-kennedy-off-trump-s-cia-list/ar-AA1vZ6kB
  2. crapping all over the allies was in the Project 2025 manifesto were they not? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2elggj813o?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
  3. This bsky embed feature needs work. Anyway...the plurality president doesn't get to wish away this at least.
  4. Anna Bower ‪@annabower.bsky.social‬ BREAKING: Justice Juan Merchan denies one of Trump’s efforts to toss his criminal convictions in New York. The judge said President-elect Trump does not have immunity from prosecution bc testimony related “entirely to unofficial conduct entitled to no immunity protections.”
  5. Was just going off the last name. All 80s movies had the random Japanese kid in the mix who either had super technical capabilities and was super horny for american girls. A Korean kid would have been too precise for the limited geographic skills of the time.
  6. Your classmate Palmer Woods was the rich kid whose dad owned the country club? And Highland Park was the Korean kid who loved prog rock?
  7. The wife keeps telling me everytime Sabrina Carpenter comes on the TV, that Sabrina Carpenter should do a Deborah Harry biopic. I can see it.
  8. The more i think about the extensions for Greene and Skubal...the more I'm not sure I'd do that if I were either side. The talent development cycle with the Tigers is getting good enough that they can actually put a MLB caliber product out with more certainty from their drafts and to a much lesser extent International signings. That said, the Detroit fanbase is the kind that falls in love with its stars. It won't want to become Tampa North. Obviously the player will get whatever they can to validate their future. Its also probably good for the economy to have wealth transfer this way. MLB should do more to help mid-market teams retain stars.
  9. The degree to which post offices are the focus of congressional offices constituent relations is ... well, its a lot. This would not fly in any world except one where the morons are gulled into thinking that Elon should run things.
  10. City Transcommunists! get their mail but red blooded country patriots don't?
  11. Please be true. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5038091-tulsi-gabbard-struggles-senators/
  12. I hate to use a piece of personal family pain here. Cousin is about to pass because she was skipping chemotherapy in favor of injecting mistletoe or some other dubious thing. Very strong 2nd amendment and Trumpy. Science had its chance and all it got us was a bunch of TV channels, the Moon landings, faster shooting carbines, better acceleration in our cars, food that stays fresher longer, the ability to ship products anywhere on the Globe (assuming it is a globe), lower death rates among the poor, the ability to solve the mechanics of quantum physics to improve battery technology, an understanding of the origins of the Universe and some other junk nobody needs. and i remain very strong 2nd amendment myself because I know people this stupid are armed.
  13. The wrong left/right labels. Sure some hippies are stupid about vaccines but RFKjr. is of that special class of eccentric entitled idiots who span the political spectrum and he has achieved power possibly.
  14. Draft Kings runs the cops! [insert cleverly AI edited version of scene from Robocop where the dad from that Seventies Show begs for his life but instead of saying that "**** Jones runs OCP and OCP runs the cops" he says the above.] Now tell me AI won't bring us a brighter future.
  15. I was just now reading in the foreword of the book "Achilles in Vietnam" about PTSD and assorted trauma about one veteran roaming the infamous "Combat Zone" in Boston in the late 70s looking for guy's raping women so he could take them out. That world thankfully does not exist now in Boston. If anything, its paying too much for 70% cacoa chocolate at the Belgian chocolatier is the bad thing that happens.
  16. Nancy Mace is a hot mess.
  17. So what is the case "for" Tulsi Gabbard? What makes her so appealing to Trump and the MAGAs and maybe Bernie Sanders?
  18. NM...I don't want to feed the troll.
  19. nobody who has dealt with the baddies is looking at them with anything less than caution. Khowst is a known/known.
  20. Tigers reported to be interested with air quotes in the Freep headline in Japanese starter Roki Sasaki. Independent of baseball reasons, It would be good for the city to have a good, followable Japanese player on the roster since the city is digging its way out of 57-80 years of bad PR internationally. That is no reason to spend unwisely or to disrupt their lineup. But, they have some of the infrastructure in place (Kenta Maeda's interpreter) to support another Japanese ballplayer on the roster and in the clubhouse. While overseas in S.Korea during the Hideo Nomo-on-the-Tigers era, i noted that Japanese TV broadcasts would cover his games. This preceded the proliferation of satellite channels we have today but still. Basically...bring better attention to Detroit internationally via having an up and coming player. We can all agree that is basically a good thing.
  21. Every time they ran it they were doing Michigan a favor.
  22. lots of interesting knowledge here I like his vlog. Usually has good info.
  23. My dream is HTS is something unprecedented or at least unusual: a modern guerilla army with a leader who wears a beard that isn't worse trouble than which preceded.
