Sorry for the short notice, but EARLY TOMORROW MORNING (04/15), ABC will be doing a story about my McDonald's collection on "World News Now" and "Good Morning America First Look" - that's about all the info I have, so set your DVRs!

Insurance companies can often be aggressive with their denials because “they don’t expect people to come back,” one health care advocate said. The lesson is simple, another expert told us: “Appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal. That’s all you have.”

We really need to fund the arts again so these dudes can funnel their weird thoughts into healthier outlets that are less likely to get them attacked on the street.

Yet another sign 30 ROCK was a documentary about our future. This is….wow. youtu.be/n_H8WWf-2OY?...

YOU CAN’T DO THAT ON TELEVISION and DOUBLE DARE will not be seen tonight so we can bring you the first annual KIDS CHOICE AWARDS. youtu.be/8FA5-uh0ePk?...

And for a retro vibe, Paley Fest has also posted its panel with the surviving cast of CHARLIE’S ANGELS youtu.be/DuP3ThhJWbQ?...

Y’know, instead of complaining about Riley Gaines, I’m just going to post the free skate that got Amber Glenn 5th place at the Olympics because it is beautiful and better than anything Riley will ever produce in her sad fucking life. youtu.be/ar3Sgvq69uQ?...

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast

"While Martin Scorese's BRINGING OUT THE DEAD is ultimately about many things—suffering, guilt, compassion, redemption—it’s Cage's eyes, throughout the movie and long afterwards, that stay with you. - @chadperman.bsky.social

1505. Cucumber diet.

Obscure YT of the day: After making the French Connection, the legendary Roy Scheider starred in ASSIGNMENT: MUNICH (1972) w/ Lesley Ann Warren! Richard Basehart, Robert Redd (Brady Bunch) & Keenan Wynn costar! From the director of Eye of the Cat! youtu.be/uJGBQ5XkDKU?...

The Mancunian setlist from yesterday...

Quaker Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Oatmeal (1994-1995): Fruit-flavored instant oatmeal, containing tiny, colorful, crunchy "power bolts". Released to promote season 2 of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series

Squirt Citrus Power (2008-circa 2010): Seeking to compete in the growing energy drink market, Squirt released this "energized" variant on their classic grapefruit soda. It contained caffeine, taurine, and did not contain the grapefruit juice concentrate found in the original, but rather a flavoring

1506. The bath diet works like magic!

I cannot be more serious about anything than when I tell you that you absolutely must move your writing off of Substack. There are too many excellent platforms (with better $$ structures) for you to keep your work connected with the vile trash that Substack is happy to promote.

Eva is toymaxxing with her stuffed mummies (she has six)

Erika Kirk and JD Vance are doing another event together

FOX NEWS: You have the authority to go ahead and release more Epstein files, do you not? ACTING AG TODD BLANCHE: No. We have released everything. We are not sitting on a single piece of paper. If we didn't release it, it's because it was not responsive to the law.

Planned Parenthood's poor vetting of this woman before elevating her to a national platform has done immeasurable harm that they need to take accountability for.

Although this looks like a Herb Alpert album cover from the 1960s, Balconades was a (self-proclaimed) fancy joint in 1940s Pennsylvania. A half gallon of Pabst for a buck is definitely fancy, right? I’m having the $1 T-Bone with some fries and an iced tea Balconades Pittsburgh 1940s #VintageMenus

Is that what they're calling it?

A woman named Lonna Drewes at a news conference just now accused Eric Swalwell of drugging her drink and sexually assaulting her. Here's part of her statement.

CNN put together a montage of Chris Wright saying last month that "there's a very good chance" gas prices will be back below $3 a gallon by the summer, followed by a clip of him saying yesterday that "by the summer is an aggressive timeframe now"

Rep. Zinke: "I'm Catholic. So it hurts, because I can think of a lot of people that might be close to Jesus, and I don't think President Trump is one of them ... I think it was an errant pitch."

It's wild that American Republicans see millions of people attending No Kings rallies and assume, with no evidence, that they're all being paid...and then some grandma who has literally lobbied for DoorDash delivers to the White House with the *cameras rolling* & they think it's an adorable moment.

Gallego gets emotional: "It hurts. It hurts that he hurt a lot of people. And it pisses me off that now we all have to deal with all of his BS."

imagine if you hit powerball. imagine if you find out youre the secret heir to genovia and youre really anne hathaway. imagine dragons

Seems highly likely that someone in the White House is checking every media interview by every Cabinet member and logging whether Trump gets personally praised.

Well as long as the oil producers are benefitting...

You will never love anything as much as 1910s people loved the color vermillion

Clannad is often described as ethereal but they also never lost touch with their toe-tapping pub band roots, which kept them firmly grounded. Brennan’s voice and harp were divine. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

'Godzilla Minus Zero' details • First Japanese project filmed for IMAX • Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe are reprising their roles • Godzilla will go to New York City

(Pops head up) I think “industry plant” only sticks if a band is heavily pushed yet lacks bops. All beloved manufactured bands have bops.

reading this like damn i wish i still had local creds that would let me sneak into this because i love both a shitshow and a museum event

McDonald's McHoagie (1991-1992): A line of deli meat sandwiches, made on small sub/hoagie rolls, with lettuce, tomato, onions & cheese. Available in Ham, Turkey, and Ham & Bologna options. Initially rolled out in the Washington D.C., Philly, and DelMarVa markets before hitting other select areas

DoorDash is partnered with all of the major fast food and fast casual chains and many local restaurants for deliveries ordered through their individual apps, so many people are using them without realizing. Food delivery is a boondoggle, but at least Grubhub's PR isn't openly bootlicking Trump?

Mom's bank account is still frozen and we really need money for groceries. Looking for around $50 but any amount helps.

And everything is now financially set and I can start saving for driving lessons in June. All I need to do is figure out how to get cash for one last oil delivery.

Once again, it is really important to make clear that inflation was closer to target in November 2024 than it had been for 85% of the months since we've had a formal inflation target. High inflation was <over> under Biden, & 2026 inflation is not because of his policies. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
