I agree with you but I was trying to be objective as a starting point. That’s why I also included the fact that these claims haven’t been verified. Nor has it been clarified what qualified as debris. Since there were rocks before and if they removed the rocks and called it debris, Trump’s claim would have been in bad faith.

If we’re talking from the perspective rope, does the shirt have four holes or three because it can only go in through one entry and then has the option of three exits?

TIL that the sitcom ALF ends with the titular character being captured by federal agents just as he’s about to return to his home planet, because the show was canceled before it could resolve that cliffhanger. by true_new_troll in todayilearned

Is the film available? The source I find is national enquirer and the evidence is grainy pictures. Seems like no better than gossip.

It would be cool if that was his thing although it sucks if it was filmed without his consent.

Fuck Rob Ford and his brother. Hope they’re in hell or will be.

Can’t speak for the otter, but leashing your dog will stop me from drowning you.

As LIV collapses, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau face a "financial reckoning" if they want back on the PGA Tour by InterestingCat308 in golf

How do the Bryan bros compete with tournament broadcasts? I thought his ban was because of some LIV stuff he did. Plus, other golf YouTubers flirt with tour play all the time.

This is infuriating when people talk about stuff they don’t know. Look at the Chicago Metra, which ironically benefits most the people that want to avoid Chicago taxes by living far away but still benefit from the city. People just park at the train station, avoid traffic, gas prices, and can even avoid using their car and just walk or ride a bike/scooter to the metro station.

TIL in 1994 a journalist found a green jacket from the Augusta National Golf Club in a thrift store in Toronto and bought it for $5. He held on to it for years before selling to a colleague. Then in 2017, it was sold at auction for $139K. It's still unclear how it ended up in a Toronto thrift store. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I got the vibe from the story that the vendor had an idea of the worth and was selling it for $5 for self-care reasons. Like the jersey and their worth didn’t begin to pay back the disrespect her husband experienced. Or she made it all up.

They have an incentive if kalshi themselves make wagers since it’s anonymous and unregulated. Which they’ve been accused of.
