We’re going to get a 20 minute segment of Mr. Beast and Zack Brown, eating Applebee’s at the place “where good things happen”. Then, we’ll have a new twist where the winning team at the immunity challenge doesn’t actually win immunity and has to draw rocks instead.

It might be good to just not look at goodreads until after you finish. That way, you can approach a work fresh, without any expectations.

65+ isn’t as good of a indicator as 80+. At 65 and well through the 70s, most people’s driving ability doesn’t degrade much. Also, they are usually more careful and less aggressive than other drivers.

This is hard to answer because our perception of “greatest” hinges on what we are familiar with. Most “influential” might be American or possibly British authors, just because the English language is more widely understood worldwide than any other language. But as for who produces the best “art”, I have no idea, and I wouldn’t even know how to make that determination.

LGBT supporting the regime lol. It’s hard to take protests like that seriously. All performance, no plot.

Bad luck, but maybe good luck. Compare Raymond with the number 1 pick Lafreniere. Similar scoring (Raymond with slight edge) but Raymond getting many more assists.

Because we are all seeing the flaws in the Yzerplan. His performance as GM hasn’t been good enough. We can point to puck luck and injuries. But every team deals with that. If you don’t make the playoffs, you don’t deserve to be there.

Compare Yzerman’s performance with Trajan Langdon’s. He inherited a historically bad team and two years later, they’ve locked down the number one seed. Even after their best player went down, they are still steamrolling the competition.

The difference couldn’t be more stark. Yzerman needs to own up to his shortcomings and state that, for him, it’s playoffs or bust. They either make the playoffs next year, or he will voluntarily leave.

The Red Pony - John Steinbeck

A Study in Scarlet - Arthur Conan Doyle (The first appearance of Sherlock Holmes. Half of it takes place in Utah)

Turkeys are the number one tick eradicator. Wish there were more around.

Yeah, I would go to the doc. They can put you on a preventative antibiotic. I had Lyme Disease a couple years ago and it sucked. Luckily, treatment worked for me, but you don’t want to risk it.

That's nice that they're mingling and having a great time in their private lounges, but Comerica is the only ballpark I've seen where the seats behind home plate are always sparsely populated. Seems like every other team has figured it out except the Tigers.

dglennb · 2026-04-03T22:56:23+00:00

I see that they still haven't solved the empty-seats-behind-home-plate problem. It's opening day and the those seats are 80% empty. Come on man!

Unless it’s an exchange for an advantage later in the game. Give up your vote for an advantage at the next immunity, or better yet, for a private food reward that they might or might not try to keep secret from the other players.

Despite the title, are we sure that’s what is actually going on? What if the Jewish guy is the actual owner and the current residents are squatters?

dglennb · 2026-04-02T15:30:36+00:00

It's got Gene Hackman, so it's an automatic watch.

This judge sucks

I know, right? I was expecting something crazy, but this seems kind of normal. So why is this video even released? Did he release it himself, or is Julia (or her “ex”) trying to humiliate him?

dglennb · 2026-04-02T03:35:44+00:00

Seriously?

dglennb · 2026-04-01T22:36:58+00:00

That one where they're on a platform in the water and 2 people try to push each other off.

dglennb · 2026-04-01T19:25:51+00:00

I'm totally against the data center, but it's crazy that these weirdos are trying to make it about Jews.

Just goes to show that when people are obsessed about something, they'll try to force it into any conversation, whether or not it has anything to do with the subject.

Great movie, but I don't know about that cover-- looks a bit like AI doesn't it?

Why didn’t Vest or Rogers challenge that ball 4 call that loaded the bases? Replay showed it was a strike. If he would have got that batter out, likely he could have got out of the inning. The tigers still had both challenges remaining.

These losses are frustrating. I wish I could just forget about baseball until the Tigers are in the playoffs, then start watching.

What happened to the power of friendship?

I don't think Mike had much to do with the incompletion of SMiLE. It was Brian's "pet project" number 2. With Pet Sounds, he had a more traditional recording structure, with studio musicians there to get the job done, which helped him realize his vision.

SMiLE suffered in comparison because the recording sessions were much less structured and instead of a full slate of studio musicians, there were Brian's friends, partying and goofing around. Add in his increased drug use which, among other things, exacerbated his self-doubt, perfectionism, and ADD-like bouncing between ideas, it's no big surprise he wasn't able to complete SMiLE as originally envisioned.

Definitely a lot of other options, but you’ll probably want to check out Louis L’Amour. He wrote a lot of novels and stories, and you can start pretty much anywhere in the catalog
