What an incredible location for a prize toss game.

A Bud Light branded american football prize toss game, with the backdrop of the Indianapolis skyline. Behind the game and netting, about halfway up the game board, is a railing. Beyond that railing is where the Lucas Oil Stadium retractable window is wide open. Which has got to be something like ~100 feet in the air.

Erm, it was Archie Gray last week. And Gallagher has come in for a lot of abuse yesterday.

Any chance americans could stop imposing their colour politics on other countries?

Can't believe Citizens just dumped their waste dirt in the rain gardens on 10th Street after they were done with their project. Is there anything we can do about this, @jesseforindy.bsky.social?

I took "stayed a while" to mean staying a night. Though most everywhere I've spent one night, I've spent several. "Visited" is stopping and doing an activity.

My map of United States: where I've been
Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska are yellow for "never been."
Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Vermont and Connecticut are light green for "passed through."
Rhode Island and New Hampshire are light blue for "visited"
Indiana and Illinois are dark blue for "lived there."
The other 36 states, plus DC, are blue, for "stayed a while."

Here's a 1.58 lb wild sockeye salmon I bought yesterday at a Costco in Indianapolis. As you can obviously tell, it wasn't $8.99 total. It was $13.99/lb, bringing it to $22.10 total. If you're quoting a price cheaper than Costco, then you must be lying.

The price label of the salmon fillet. It says

As much as I love Thad Young, one of these things is not like the others, lol.

Best foreign potato chips I've had are these, from Portugal. Campesinas means "peasant women."

Lay's potato chips from Portugal. The bag is green. There are pictures of potato chips, garlic, tomatoes and (maybe) parsley. The name is listed as Campesinas. Under that, in smaller lettering, is Camponesas and Campagnola. Maybe the same name in Spanish and Italian, if I had to guess.

Found a tweet here on bluesky that made me laugh and thought you should have to see it to.

Bluesky post:

"Moderate" Republican Greg Ballard is running for Secretary of State as an independent to sabotage the Republican nominee and elect Beau Bayh.

Ballard has always been a Democrat. No Republican should ever vote for him.

I did take a peak at the underarm bowling wiki page and had a ponder about legality. It says an underarm delivery is on that does not rise above the waist. But a fast pitch softball delivery does rise above the waist, briefly. Maybe it would be technically legal? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underar...

Definition

Technically speaking, an underarm delivery is one in which the bowler's hand does not rise about the level of the waist. The Laws of Cricket now (2000 code) declare that an underarm delivery is illegal unless otherwise agreed to before the match.

Proof that god loves the Indy 500.

The radar at 14:00 for the state of Indiana on Race Day 2026. 2/3 of the state is covered in storms, including the northwest and southeast, but in between, over Indianapolis, the weather is clear and dry.

Among all the myriad reasons ranked choice voting needs to happen is the fact that 4500+ people voted for a dead person in this race. Which is 2.5 times the current margin of ~2k votes. So fucking stupid, all of it. Most of all the morons in town who keep voting for Sweeney Bell.

Results of Marion County (IN) Democratic Primary election as of 22:12:11 on 05/05/2026. 176 / 182 (96.70)% vote centers reported.
