* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?

They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever!

BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it.

It’s fun to think about how angry Rush Limbaugh would be at the number of black quarterbacks in the league these days. But it’s even more fun to think about how Rush Limbaugh is dead.

I know that everyone who comes for John Wick gets got, but not me. I’m built different.
If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

Argue about 2 through 99 all you want but number 1 is Airplane! and there’s absolutely no debate to be had
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

The point of painting them all as criminals is it gives ICE permission to do whatever they want to them, because the American public has been conditioned for decades to believe that all criminals deserve it, and deserve all the beatings and even abuse and r-pes that they get.
They truly believe this! Like when they arrest a noncitizen who committed a crime years ago and has been out of prison for a decade, they put out a press release claiming they saved the public from a serious threat, even if the person has been law-abiding for years and is a random ex-con doing well.
To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.

Finally finished slow horses (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) but now I have to wait another year for more slow horses, which is very rude and unfair

Since they’re wearing the kelly greens, Jalen Hurts should have QB EAGLES on his jersey instead of his last name

Just got my ass kicked at Yahtzee by my 10yo. That’s ok though. Gonna teach her bar dice next. Take her piggybank money playing 1-4-24.

Slotkin sucks ass but it was Biden’s own fault that no one believed it. Communication is 90% of the job. If you can’t communicate your successes as president, then they never happened. He’s a doddering fool who wasn’t up to the job, and he hired fools who weren’t up for it either.
Once again, I remind you that this woman cannot be allowed anywhere near the strategy or leadership of the Democratic Party:

Also, stop it with this BS. Biden correctly said the economy in 2024 was good, because it was. Yes, no one believed it. That wasn't his fault.
Slotkin: "He's trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, the Epstein files and economy. He's tweeting 'the economy is the best it's ever been' -- amazing considering the public isn't stupid. It reminded me of Joe Biden. Biden tried to tell us for a year that the economy was great."

My parents were not Beatles fans so I didn’t know any of their songs except the I want to hold your hand crap until I was in my 20s. I don’t think my cohort of younger gen xers disliked them, we simply didn’t care or think about them. They weren’t relevant to us.

Far too many of my mufos are Arsenal fans. Like, I have exactly one Chelsea pal, one or maybe two Liverpool pals, dozens of spurs pals, and a dozen or so Arsenal pals.
