Recently been reconnecting with my older half-brother. Today I sent him a video of our dad, as far as I know the last one that was taken before he passed 25 years ago. My brother called me about five minutes later. Glad that one important lesson our dad taught us was crying is OK for guys.

Marion Cotesworth Haye would never.

By "3A requirements" I'm choosing to believe that we mean requirements to prevent quartering of soldiers.

See, I thought Turner had died like 30 years ago when they shot him while making Gettysburg.

The writing in this paragraph pains me. "Thus," the double "however," and the lazy/repetitive idiom.

Anyone else see a resemblance between Blanche and Kent Hovind? I have to take a moment to realize who I'm actually looking at every time

Game of Battlestar Galactica tonight. Admiral, and later President, Adama led the fleet to total failure. (Because he was a Cylon).

Beside the point, but he’s holding it wrong. The 1897 pattern has a backstrap which is specifically intended to lay your thumb on.

The King and I and Grogu

“I ask you, could such a tiny creature have stabbed this into a man’s chest at a downward angle? Could you even see someone so low to the ground through the windows of a passing El train?”

I’m like 80% sure he meant “Medicaid” here. That’s evil, rather than evidence that he doesn’t understand what he’s talking about, which is what this sounds like taken literally. Would be curious to see the context around this to see what he meant.

Armies around the world had this problem solved in the 18th century.

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

UPDATE: We obtained new details in our work to hold DOGE and the Social Security Administration accountable, revealing a clear paper trail confirming SSA’s plan to exchange Americans’ personal, private data with an external entity. 🧵Here’s what you need to know:

I mean, you can get the same "free" healthcare you seem to think "illegals" get, Chaya. Just don't pay the bill.

Benedictine lay brother Really rather go with a mendicant order, but if we’re limited to 1066…

Another fun day in the world of ridiculously obsolescent vocational testimony. Without looking it up, does anyone know what a record shaver is in the context of office equipment?

Reader, I cackled.

The grand jury here should be just as embarrassed as AUSA Matthew Petracca and US Attorney W. Ellis Boyle.

Thank goodness SSA currently has lots of free staff just waiting to be able to administer these changes and all of the extra work they'll entail...

OK, this was funny, and clearly you all are philistines who didn't get the joke.

Looks like a Scientology run, but the Scientologists are prepared to shoot intruders.

Big news if true.

Solo run of Fate of the Fellowship tonight. Two hope left, final hunt roll for Frodo. I've got five friendship to spend with Sam. The only way I could possibly lose is if all seven hunt dice come up with hope loss results. 0.78% chance. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh no. Poor Mr. Wangner has been suspended by the "WOKE progressive liberals" at the USFA for being transphobic...

This makes the bout markedly more difficult to follow by drawing your eye to where it shouldn't be. I hate it.

So I’m guessing this is why Patel has been told actual malice is no biggie. “We told them in advance that it wasn’t true, therefore knowledge it was false”

Man, someone should really tell Trump's attorneys that... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Lots of people in the replies who have apparently never heard of the dram shop rule. Most places won't extend it to your own injuries, but bartenders aren't supposed to serve substantially intoxicated people.

Parasaurolophus!

So, uh, any of you Threadnaught peeps happen to know anything about... defamation law?

Not usually women's accounts that end up Sephiroth posting...

Odyssey of the Mind, is a creative competition, where a kid lead team creates an 8 minute performance to solve a problem with $145 budget. The team I coach has qualified for worlds and we need some help fundraising to get there. www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati... thank you! 🦝 🎉

My fencing club's Odyssey of the Mind team just won the Ranatra Fusca Award at states, which means qualification for World Finals and they could really use some help getting there. (Even if you can't afford to donate, you really owe it to yourself to at least click through to read the description)

How does one differentiate between a blockade stopping and seizing vessels in a particular area from pirates stopping and seizing vessels in a particular area?

National Board Game Day properly celebrated, with a nice, big, long game of War of the Ring. Came down to the final hunt tile draw. If an eye, victory for Shadow. If anything else, victory for Free Peoples. It was an eye. Frodo fell to the corruption of the ring and Gollum didn’t save him.

If only there was some explanation for why a product from a British company might suddenly have jumped up in price in the United States in mid-2025...

Oh shit. That video that Trump posted was from here last week. I remember seeing on Facebook the manhunt posts from the cops that day about a murder suspect but I didn’t see any details about the murder.

Finally, a book warning us about the dangers of the spiciness of narcotics.

So, anecdata, but I've seen very few disability cases in the last 6 years where someone was directly attributing their disability to COVID sequelae, but I've seen way more POTS/EDS/MCAS triad cases in that time than I ever saw before. More awareness of the triad or a lot of cases caused by COVID?

The Partisan (OK, that one may be cheating a little)

If god did not want me to have my tacos with Japanese cheesecake he would not have put those stores right next to each other.

1) Wishbone 2) Someone is going to die because that one doesn't have its big retaining strap

Watching a British board gaming YouTube video and reference was made to “it’s like if Hawaii was full of Geordies” and I winced in sympathy for you, @questauthority.bsky.social

Really makes you wonder how many bathrooms he could squeeze into that thing.

I just picked up the Dune starter set from Modiphius as part of a bundle. Very pricey for a starter, but it does include a digital copy of the core rules as well, which is nice. Honestly, the components are worth the price though. I've never been more excited about a TTPRG starter set.
