Ernie hates any day that I watch football, but the day of The Game is consistently the worst day of the year. He does not understand why his human acts like a lunatic for three hours. #GoBlue

I’m sure these predictions will pan out, just like Musk’s Tesla FSD driving itself across the country, his successful landing on Mars, an Optimus robot in every home, Twitter making money, Grok not calling itself RoboHitler, etc.

Trump going for the twofer. Ukraine and Taiwan on the chopping block. I hope America isn’t too attached to the microchip.

I should also note that TN has a relatively small Black population heavily concentrated in cities (mostly Nashville and Memphis). In the vernacular of gerrymandering, Memphis got packed, Nashville got cracked. If a Dem wins in TN-7, it’ll be a very big deal and a sign TN-5 could be in play in ‘26.

TBC, TN-7 only includes a slice of Nashville, because the TN GOP cracked and packed Nashville in a major gerrymander during the last redistricting, which is why the Middle Tennessee map looks like a pinwheel. Nashville no longer has representatives that serve the city.

Imagine saying this as the largest city in the state you represent is under siege by a paramilitary force endorsed by the very people you are caving to. While people brace for massive health insurance cost increases in Illinois, one of the blue states hardest hit by expiration of subsidies.

I’ve agreed that in an ideal world, people would have better diet and exercise habits, but we don’t live in that world. So what are you arguing with me about if not to prevent people from using life-extending, life-improving drugs? And these drugs absolutely do make people healthier.

How many of these bank CEO’s have analysts who continue to issue “Buy” ratings and grossly inflated target prices for AI and AI-adjacent companies?
All of them. They make the bubble and they decide when to pop it.

It’s another way to sell candy bars at outrageously inflated prices. I’ve had it (and I’ve made a few myself based on recipes online - see my photo) and was mostly unimpressed. Some people love it.

The Germans definitely know. I was struck by the inscription on the Neue Wache, a former guardhouse that is now effectively Germany’s “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier”:

I happen to be in Berlin and I’m planning to hit a rally at the US embassy here. Came prepared with the shirt—too bad I couldn’t find one in German!
