Youth movement for my Jags. Seems like a promising hire, but I hope somebody there is willing to be the adult in the room, as they will get no meaningful oversight from the Khan family.

Okay, now tell us about CTE? And ask the NCAA while you're at it.

Constantly posting pictures from high school to social media. Everybody likes a few 'member-berries, especially as we get older, but they are a garnish, not an entire diet.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer aims to improve relations but won’t re-enter the single market, as both sides cautiously rebuild ties.

I get that right now feelings are still raw in Europe and the UK would get a shit deal that would probably undo the (imminently sensible) desire to forget Brexit happened, but Labour needs to be careful they don't follow the US Dems down the same path they took in never codifying abortion. It's more politically expedient to have a persistent bludgeon to use on the other party than it is to fix the mistake, but eventually there are political consequences either way.

Like a binary star system, the UK and the US will do an eternal dance to see who can troll the French the most with mangling the loanwords. The Brits win this one.

You monster!

Thank? You? 😕

Now THAT is a good idea. I was undecided today, but decided to go with Boiled Peanuts Classic. They're good of course, but Cotton Patch will always be a little sus because they spell both "boiled" and "peanuts" correctly.

I've been boiling my own lately and supplement the salt with a generous helping of Adobo "all purposes seasoning", which is mostly garlic salt. Very nice flavor, but the only raw peanuts I have access to are dry as dust and still a bit too firm after a good six hours of boiling, and that is a lot of work and energy when no one else in the house even likes them.

LEFF-TENANT COMMODORE, I presume.

If Adventure Bay is a black site, why do they need a cover story?! Checkmate!

Clearly, Rider is actually a Canadian Richie Rich and the region is under the thumb of his family as a de facto company town, and the experiments have to do with whether you can cram 80%-90% of an entire metropolitan area's public services budget into a tiny, easily managed core of genetically engineered puppies managed by a single nepobaby. With economy of scale and the potential for control of information and access, it would be extremely lucrative.

I mean, it's pretty fuckin' bad, but that being said it's basically a 2-part pilot for a show that will never be made, which helps sand down a few of the roughest edges in my estimation. It's not completely unwatchable and has a few mildly interesting ideas and designs.

I went to a tiny K-12 private school for my last two years of high school. I was the "best" shot and disc thrower on a pair of very, very weak years for the track & field team (tell me again how Clay from '95 got recruited by Harvard, Brianna... ONE... MORE... TIME... PLEASE 😤).

The thing about that is when a team is that stretched for bodies and coaches, the middle school kids will practice with the high schoolers, and if you think high schoolers don't pay attention, imagine a gaggle of 13 year olds who are mostly doing this because it counts as a semester of PE (I understand that by grabbing them early they eventually developed several of them into decent middle-distance runners). I never actually hit one, but especially in my senior year I spent a lot of time yelling at tweens to get the hell out of the discus cone, and even had a couple of kids almost get their toes broken by a little 25-foot standing throw from one of the other kids I was silently conned into coaching once the adults all realized my annoyance came out as profane but helpful instruction.

I won a Team Spirit award for it, but didn't care enough to remember when the team banquet was, LOL.
