Saw that a few days ago, was just as surprised to see David McCallum and Ronnie Barker in it too.

as a replacement, and was just wearing a disguise to look like my brother. Which would freak me out and when my parents got home would cause me to go tell Mom, "He's a disguise! He's a disguise!" He thought this was hilarious and would repeat it when we were left alone. (2/2)

My older brother, who was 12 years older than me, when he was 17 and I was 5, would wait until our parents went somewhere and left me home alone with him, and then he'd tell me he wasn't really my brother, that my real brother had been taken away and that he had been inserted into the family...(1/2)

MS says the link is broken when this happens and to unpair and then redo the link. On the phone app, under linked account you can sign out and unlink. On the PC in the app, settings, devices you can remove the phone. Then add a new device from there.

It's a docked boat, behind the moving one, that explodes. You can see the people, presumably very surprised, in the moving boat after the explosion.

Latest dispatch from the Words Have No Meaning Department:
A photograph of a sign from a company named realturf, with a subhead that says: the artificial turf company. Below that is a slogan, "we keep it real”. In the lower right corner is a phone number that has been obfuscated.

This was on Bloomberg TV: Dollar General Says Pinched Consumers Are Buying Less Food. Pinched? And that's a funny way to say People Are Going Hungry.
An image of a section of a Bloomberg TV screen taken on June 2, 2026, that says: Dollar General says pinched consumers are buying less food. Some Dollar General Corp shoppers are cutting back on food and other household expenses due to rising gas prices, Chief Executive Officer Todd Vasos said on the company's earnings call. "Our core customer continues to be financially constrained," Vasos told analysts on Tuesday.

Not close in protest. In a food desert you're dealing with bodegas and convenience stores, small locations with limited room for stock. Requiring them to have twice as many items to qualify to accept SNAP may be difficult. Some stotes may decide to not accept it any longer, making the problem worse.

Brando was famously bad at remembering lines and used cue cards in most of his movies, not just Superman. This was while filming The Godfather.
