My daughter put on a couple of episodes of Freaks and Geeks and I had completely forgotten that Joel from the original #mst3k has a cameo as the manager of a disco-themed clothing store in the mall.

I'm not saying the health care system is their fault, but I cannot abide the @gofundme.com ads I keep hearing on podcasts. Guys, a man having to raise $5,000 in 22 hours so his kid doesn't die from a viral infection is not a heartwarming story, it is profoundly depressing and dystopian.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

A piece of "virtue signaling" that would appeal to me personally and individually is if the next president sold off all this ticky-tacky gold (that doesn't even match between golds) and used that to buy a bunch of plantings for the rose garden, and filmed a vertical video about both

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

I watched part of the 2005 movie Coach Carter and so Coach Carter when he wants to discipline his basketball players orders them to do like 500 pushups and 80 suicide drills or whatever. Once he doubled it. For an individual. Am I correct that people...cannot do 500 pushups in one practice?

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.
KARE 11: Minnesota DOC launches new website to 'address ongoing misinformation by DHS'
The DOC names Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino directly in a statement.Minnesota Department of Corrections Statement on Minneapolis Shooting and Federal Claims
January 24, 2026
The Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) extends its condolences to the family and loved ones of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal agents this morning in Minneapolis. The loss of life is tragic, and Minnesotans deserve transparency, accountability, and facts.

In the hours following the shooting, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino held a press conference asserting that the operation was targeting an individual named Jose Huerta-Chuma and characterized him as having a significant criminal history. Because federal statements have repeatedly included inaccurate information about Minnesota custody and criminal records, the DOC reviewed available records to determine whether the individual referenced had any connection to Minnesota state prison custody.ased on DOC records and publicly available Minnesota court data:

The individual identified by federal officials has never been in Minnesota DOC custody.
DOC and court records show no felony commitments associated with this
Public Minnesota court records reflect only misdemeanor-level traffic offenses from more than a decade ago.
The individual is not currently under DOC supervision.
DOC records further indicate that an individual by this name was previously held in federal immigration custody in a local Minnesota jail in 2018, during President Trump’s first administration. Any decisions regarding release from federal custody at that time would have been made by federal authorities. DOC has no information explaining why this individual was released.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
