Yeah, he'd better be careful before he becomes the subject of a @kevinmkruse.bsky.social "My man" thread.

Just listened to it for the first time. At least I think it's the first time, it sounds like every other country song since Brad Paisley mixed it up. I'll give this above-average lyrics, below average melody. Now I'm afraid that the algorithms will feed me 100 more like it.

At least they spent a few pages explaining their decision.

Oz's Turkish citizenship and military service were a big factor in his Senate race. Some immigrants are more human than others, I guess. www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

Oz's ties to Turkey attacked in Pennsylvania's Senate race

Dr. Mehmet Oz's connections to Turkey have come under fire again as Pennsylvania's Senate race heats up.

My extended family is German, so probably, may not be what they are looking for.

Glad you have "The data examined below captures.." and not "capture". The old idea that "data" should be treated as plural makes me cringe.

CWA, in beautiful Mosinee? I like that little airport, super-easy TSA, decent diner (and you can buy Spotted Cow there). Just don't have a tight connection at O'Hare or MSP..

Yeah, I gave to my school for 30 years before I visited and realized what they spent the money on. And this is D3!

I know about the Hatch Act, but the retort would be, "this isn't partisan, this is supporting the war effort."

Serious question -- what's the illegal part?

Absolutely, I came here looking for that. The only movie I ever walked out on, and I saw The Emoji Movie.

Not called The Great White South for nothing.

And isn't it supposed to be American Flag Blue?

Burgum too? Pirro mocks the Dept of Interior so relentlessly to make him an idiot, and by implication Trump too, and he hates that. Makes me wonder if Burgum fed Trump the vandalism line rather than the other way around; more lettuce time.

That's Rep. Rich McCormick, not Sen. Dave McCormick.

The video starts with a guy in the right-hand side with one of the anti-algae bubble machines. It's after the supposed vandalism occurred.

If ice made up half the volume, that leaves 6oz of liquid for 2 cups. There are ~3550 drops in 6oz, so $2.77 tip means about one penny tip per 12 drops.

Err, yeah, 15%, my bad. Dunno the Greenwich Village surcharge, though I have a feeling it's "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".

It's the automatic 18% tip on the product *plus tax* that grabs me. Was each coffee pour worth an extra $1.38?

Oops, forgot the word "Minnesota" in all that.

In October 1990, the Republican gubernatorial nominee's campaign collapsed in scandal, and the primary's loser, Arne Carslon, staged a write-in campaign and beat the Democratic incumbent. Wonder if that's in Janet Mills's future. (I helped hand out little Carlson stickers to put on the ballot.)

The "best by" date is 12 days from now not, like, 12 hours?

And the underlying dispute was over legal fees!

I can't tell what his complaint is. Big-tire guy parked in the next spot?

Does there need to be a lawsuit for it to work? Payouts from the slush fund were to be suit-free and secret, lawsuits at least can be publicly scrutinized and (maybe) signed off by a judge.

If you hadn't reported the source, I would've said it was ChatGPT turned up to eleven.
