So is it Pete or is it illegals crossing the unsecured boarder or is it the black mayor or is it WW3? Pick a boogeyman already. Mayor Pete russled him up a gaggle of migrants at Home Depot, and then personally hired a Black female high school dropout to be the harbor pilot. Them he used his gay wiz...

Will WDW still be around in ten years? Will Ron DeSantis still be governor? Do any of the articles mention that the two most antagonistic members of the new tourism board resigned within a few days of each other this month with no notice or reason? And that they were replaced with..... friendlier vo...

Shōgun Ep 6
5+ hours of storytelling and playing with language - and subtitles and Mariko's ever more selective translations - paid off beautifully in the Willow World scene. Exquisite.

Lady Ochiba creeps me the f**k out.

The Stanford campus is pretty amaze, would be a good way to spend a peaceful hour or so walking around. Honestly, that's about all we ever did there. It's a small college town that happens to sit in between two big cities.

The container ship was under the control of a harbor pilot at the time of the mishap, and was only travelling at approximately 8 knots. They had enough foreknowledge of the problems aboard ship to transmit a mayday call (sabres_goal.wav) before impact, and bridge crews were able to shut down the ing...

The shenanigans that will ensue from his early departure might be entertaining. I gather because of WI law his seat won't be filled until the new Congress is sworn in.

It was pointed out that on the immediate heels of the first (probably last/only) kick returner getting into Canton we had the first Super Bowl with zero kick returns. Let it evolve with the times. I'm all for changing the kickoff to whatever format allows for the return of, er, returns. They can be ...

Also re Amtrak

The coastal lines through Orange Co and northern SD Co have been intermittently closed because of landslide activity. That's a binary thing, there's no divert option for a train. FYI

Yes yes, I'd much rather do the safari park. But the main zoo and Midway are very close to each other, while the "San Diego Safari Park" is kind of nowhere near SD.

Also right by the zoo (downtown) is the SD Air & Space Museum, and there's a nice Japanese garden in the park in between the two.

The Steelers barely scored 300 points last year. I think simply adding like 4 pts a game would vault them into like Houston and Green Bay territory. That's middle pack, but after the last 50 games, I don't think too many Steelers fans would turn their noses up at that. Such a relatively small differ...

Haha, a tornado touched down in Blair Co a short while after that movie came out, and I got to the point of sitting in my car to go follow it and my inner voice was like "what the actual f**k are trying to do here, dips**t".

The example video the League presented at the press conference is online. With absolutely no evidence to backup this claim, I would not be the slightest bit surprised if there were 1,000s of these tackles in a given season without incident, regardless of what the NFL is citing as an 'injury rate' 25...

"A tackler grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms, and unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee." I've seen this more commonly described as 'tackling from behind'. So if you t...
