PREACH.

This would actually affect the co-ops a lot more than the larger utilities, but it would definitely make a statement. What it would do most definitely, and perhaps more critically, is reduce severely domestic grid operability here.

TO WHOEVER LEFT THE DECOMPOSING BANANA BEHIND THE COFFEE POT: Nice try. (My kids are weirdos, but I love them.)

ICYMI...

I told my wife that I might start "I Live In The US - Ask Me Anything" sessions, but then I realized that this would be arrogant on my part to assume my answers are interesting or wanted. Also, people would have to be prepared for something worse than "The Man Who Says Things In A Roundabout Way"

"Can you imagine what we put up with now Generals and morons say we are still as proud We coin the phrases like we must win or die It's all so confusing to me, hello goodbye"

Me, about to serve up a dinger to an imaginary Reggie Jackson.

*pretends to be shocked*

I am not going to ask why my wok spatula is in the bathroom. No one ever tell me why, please.

Don't be absurd. You have to show ID at Carrabba's, not Olive Garden.

Ah yes, a temporary ID from a man who has probably been high enough to hand law enforcement his trousers when asked for ID at a traffic stop.

As someone in the Detroit area, the wind blows here every day, but as we have the "prevailing westerlies", it's typically the smell of Chicago tourists on the western side of the state. We should send help, not scorn.

Oh good. Does that mean his boinking buddy in Tel Aviv will stop killing people in Lebanon then? No? Well then....

I mean, that's as close to a "No" as you'll get on this question from what's left of John Thune, so...

Bill Maher: The Average Persuadable Voter. There are tens of these people out there.

Got it. Thanks.

One minute, you're coaching in the NFL, and the next minute, you're complying with the work zone signs as they try to plumb out the restrooms on the mezzanine.

These people have no idea what an actual Trotskyite or Leninist takeover would look like.

September will be check fraud month at the DOD.

Of note to my fellow Michiganders, Taylor Farms is on prominent display at Meijer locations, though I have been to one their brands are mostly pulled. There was another location where the strategy was to heavily discount their salads, like I would be willing to risk the shits for the right price.

It's a bit pulpy, but with some salt and fresh herbs, it's passable.

Yes, well, the record on "taking care of business" is that Iran is doing well and the Houthis are still firmly entrenched and Pete is still climaxing in the powdered protein aisle at GNC, so....

Imagine calling proposals to actually help people and to not fund genocidal madmen a "hostile takeover".

Why, no, I have not.

What does it say about this time in technology that I just read an email on my phone but responded on my desktop machine? I feel ridiculous now.

Recycling is important, yes.

Charlie is absolutely spot on. Here in the Detroit area last week, visibility was maybe 1 km for two days due to smoke. In that smoke are lives, livelihoods, history - things which the people who live in areas affected had to watch burn, but MAGA runs with threats, tariffs and denialism.

TODAY: Always read the documents that you release.

They want to make examples of people as part of the performative portion of this fascist experiment of theirs, but in their haste and stupidity, they keep forgetting the part where you need to either build or, if you're really creative, invent with convincing "evidence", the case.

I will take "Reasons To Start Considering Repatriation To The Moon" for $1,000, Alex

Gee, no shit. Do we really need the dying husk of our Intelligence Service to state the obvious?

I can't understand why only three people have entered the contest, and I am not sure I understand the three people that did.

There are at least a dozen shampoo bottles on the shelf outside the shower, and individually, they smell nice, but all at once, they smell kind of like the fruit-scented markers that those of us in Generation X used to get contact highs from in elementary school.

I tend to agree with the people that want him to call the special election just for giggles, just to see if they roll him on out. It doesn't have to necessarily be a totally serious thing, though it could become that if he is in fact dead.

I keep searching the listings for Hydro One in Ontario in the event something pops up that requires my own bizarre utility skillset. LOL

"He's pining for the fjords..."

Jesus, dude. Calm down.

There won't be anything left to be President of if I run within the next couple cycles, or we will have left the country by then. I was hoping to be the Cool President, the last one who could make his own mixtape perhaps, but hope dwindles.

I mean, I just want to know if he's dead. I've got theories that need testing availability.

"THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE. STOP YOUR WHINING, SIR."

OH SNAP.

Wait, Trump = Iran?

"Mitch McConnell is delivered, instantaneously causing what we call 'The Treasonous Effect'....."

Right, because then I am not paying for the electricity and water and other things I am no longer getting.

You mean like how we armed the Mujahadeen and then walked right out of Afghanistan after the Soviets left, leaving a broken country to suffer the Taliban and not helping rebuild after a conflict we helped them fight? Right, that went well in the end.

They are missing so many great taglines. "WILL YOU MASTER DICKO?" "DICKO: SEE IF YOU CAN BEAT IT" "HAVE A GO AT MULTIPLAYER DICKO"
