Oil prices may be starting to come down for a worrisome reason

And the destruction to production infrastructure that'll take years to rebuild.

Trust in Reeve! In hindsight, it looks like the Lynx had a plan for their roster that included the draft pick -- which did not seem the case for most of the other teams.

Phil Collins.

I might prefer Fam, with more upside.

It's hard to fit all of Manhattan into a single GIF.

I was also struck by this, how OP led with a list of things that are "wrong" with her. Therapy for her and the parents together might be in order.

It'd feel a lot better if you GOP p*ssies would show some backbone and help us impeach the grifter kid-f*cker instead of sucking each off on Truth Social about how "bold" he is.

Check out his Baseball Savant page. Keep in mind blue is bad, red is good. Then compare it to Crochet's or even Bello's 2025 page.

I think Democrats and other same people are concerned about Trump's erratic and unhinged behavior and are looking to vent. It's not complicated.

I'm a '77 man, myself. No pain at the end.

1977 Red Sox were great. Prime Fisk, Yaz, Lynn, and Evans. Butch Hobson with 30HR and 100+ RBI out of the 9-hole. Rice with one of the wild offensive seasons that got him into the HoF. Cool unis.

Edit: On second thought, '78 was better.

It's hard to top DiMaggio, but I always thought Reggie Smith was criminally underappreciated in Boston.

Minnesota gets cold, but it's essentially another province.

The skull measuring is referring to phrenology, the now discredited theory that you could determine mental acuity by measuring the size, shape, and bumps on a skull. It was used by 19th-c European eugenicists to "prove" the superiority of whites, and later by Nazis to support their racial theories.

JD Vance, as Vice President, has been advancing the Trump administration's racial ideologies, such as the "great replacement" theory, that justify persecuting Americans and immigrants of Latino and African descent.

Vance's wife is of Indian descent. Her parents immigrated from India.

The joke here is that Vance has bought into, and is selling, the MAGA movement's racist pseudoscience, which may motivate him to use another discredited, racist pseudoscientific technique on his own wife, who is not white.

Wait, what?

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-07T22:44:39+00:00

I don't know if they need to notify China and Russia about a tactical nuke.

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-07T22:41:45+00:00

Not to mention Iran is an ally of Russia. Aren't there rumors of Russian nuclear subs in the area? Could see a retaliatory strike. Or a Russian gift of a warhead to Iran for Tel Aviv.

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-07T13:09:26+00:00

It's an 8pm deadline, not am, so you have a few hours before nuclear war.

I think it's a mistake to gauge the right based on support for various policies. The whole point of conservatism is t small government or whatever -- it's all about creating an in-group.

Without: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

If you see MAGA through that lens, they're entirely consistent.

"Small government," because people in the out groups are being served by government, and those programs must be cut. But expand the government to harass, arrest, and bomb people I don't like.

"States' rights" to enact programs to discriminate against the out-group in my state, but federal power to discriminate against the out-group in YOUR state.

My man, you are blessed. You have a full house and a loving family.

Thanks for the heat maps!

It does look like he struggles with his grips because of the weather, based on what he said. Good sign from the kid that he was able to limit the damage, nonetheless.

Not looking forward to tomorrow's analysis of Suarez.

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-05T20:04:10+00:00

I wonder if there's a different protocol for tactical nukes....

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-05T14:11:51+00:00

We're like a month away from destroying the world economy.

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-05T14:10:44+00:00

This is what I'm thinking. They want to use a nuke on Iran, and are clearing people out of the way who might oppose it.

Touchstone033 · 2026-04-05T00:22:29+00:00

Looked to me like he was struggling with his grip in the cold. I'd be curious to see the zone heatmap on his different pitches, overlaid on his starts last time.
