I heard an ad for beef on the radio and it’s funny the industry feels the need to sell that to anyone in the USA in 2026. I think everyone has heard of and has considered beef at this point.

My dad’s old boss/friend died and his obituary revealed that he grew up in a house without running water or electricity in Warren County, Georgia. Always kind of shocking to be reminded that this was still a widespread thing in the post-war era, compared to today at least.

I hate that my idiot baseball team, which should have waltzed into the post-season a dozen or more games ahead of the other teams in this wretched division, can be blamed for poor attendance at a bad Astros team’s wild card round game, but they can and should be blamed for that.

According to America.gov, it’s not totally clear if it’s illegal to marry an eagle, so I might still have a chance!
what part of U.S. law states that I cannot marry an eagle, because TBH I'm skeptical
There is no statute titled "you cannot marry an eagle." Two separate rules apply.
Marriage is between two people
Federal law treats marriage, for federal purposes, as a union between 2 individuals that is valid where it was entered into.
• 1U.S.C. § 7 7
States issue marriage licenses. An eagle is not a person who can get a license or consent. I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice.
Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.
Trying to "marry" an eagle would still run into those possession and disturbance rules.
I cannot verify a single line of the U.S. Code that saysạẠmarriage to an eagle is prohibited" by those words. The practical bar is that marriage is for two individuals, and eagles are protected wildlife.

Why we don't stock certain books... An example is this book. The retail price is £22.00 but you can buy a copy in Tesco for £11. We can't blame you for doing that. The price to us from the publisher would be £12.10 as they discriminate against small shops on discount.

I require some sort of cleansing balm after reading this TNT piece about a 31-year-old Tacoma woman who has been charged with murdering her 14-year-old daughter’s newborn. A lot of personal and societal failure contained in this.

Again, this is what Tucker says to normal audiences. To his own audience, literally today, he went on a deranged rant about, among other things, how Oswald Mosley wasn’t a Nazi.
I know, buddy, you did that during World War II. When the very first thing the British government did was imprison the opposition party, called them Nazis, which they weren't, run by one of the great war heroes of the First World War, Oswald Mosley. Oh, he was a Nazi.
No, he wasn't. If he was a Nazi, he'd be living in Britain, in Germany. He didn't want the war.
And he has been slandered ever since. It's like scary even to defend him. I'm not even defending the guy.

This person is very stupid.
Smith made her comments as part of a fireside chat Tuesday with Calgary Chamber of Commerce president and
CEO Deborah Yedlin. She asked the premier about the potential fee creating an additional cost burden on businesses when it comes to recruiting and retaining employees.
"I guess that's the question: is $1,900 - for the business to take on that fee - is
that going to make or break your business? If it is, you're probably hiring into a low-skilled profession and we want those low-skill jobs to go to youth employment," Smith responded.

Somehow the Houston Texans’ 2002 offensive line has returned.
Overall, things aren't great in Houston, where C.J. Stroud is being pressured on 40.2 percent of his dropbacks, which ranks 24th in the league.
