Chill until we can chill any further.

I don't know. Maybe? The picture is from here:

That's a rad-ish horse.

Short Eared has striking eye makeup! She's the envy of every Maybelline model.

Go, Burrowing! Boreal is going to be a tough opening match, but I have a good feeling we'll start strong and go deep in the bracket. Look out; we're coming in hot!

Levis makes a huge range of quality. The stuff at shopping mall department stores is crap. But the made-in-Mexico shrink-to-fit 501s you can find at hardware stores are phenomenal. And they are still only like US$50.

Boomers hold over 50% of all wealth in the US, while Gen Z and Millennials together hold 10%.

Also, the median age of first-time homebuyers in the US is now 40..

Boomers pulled up the ladder behind them.

Banning Scout troops from meeting on military bases in the U.S. and overseas troubles Kenny Grant. He's a retired Army Staff Sergeant who served as a sniper in Iraq and is the parent of three Scouts — two girls and a boy.

"It's gonna be kind of harsh the way I say this… It's kind of like they don't care about us more than they care about their perceived message.

You hit the nail on the head, Mr. Grant.

OMFG BANNED

I have been enjoying sparkling water flavored with hops. It's distinctly different from non-alcoholic beer, and much better IMO.

Unsweetened iced tea and cold brew coffee are also standards in my kitchen during summer. My significant other likes kombucha enough to make it at home sometimes, but I never liked the stuff myself.

Articles of Interest. It's nominally a fashion podcast, but they tie it into lots of other topics: history, culture, identity, religion...

Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive. It's the same reason everyone builds up in cities. Where land is cheap and available it's usually easier and less expensive to build things low and wide.

UK playing both sides. Nice move, chaps.

I have fond memories of ClarisWorks 4.

Our friends are all aboard!

clubs here are filled with MAGAs and plastered with Republican propaganda so I don't feel as welcome as I used to.

As a kid, my dad and I occasionally went to the local gun show just to look around at interesting stuff. The collectors selling antiques, fancy custom pieces, and guns with historical interest were always fun to chat with. But at some point it turned into crazy town. I don't go to those events anymore.

Me: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

My dad's midwestern US family: Breakfast, dinner, supper

IANAL, but my understanding is this is how laws are challenged in the US. A plaintiff cannot file suit against the legislature, or the government in general, to challenge a law. A plaintiff needs to sue an individual within the government who has enforced the law, and then demonstrate that the enforcement of said law has caused the plaintiff harm. In this case the law will be enforced by Newsome or someone within his administration like the Secretary of State.

I learned this when Texas passed their anti-abortion law in 2021 (S.B. 8). Rather than having government officials enforce that law, the state offloaded enforcement to private citizens by paying them cash rewards for successfully suing alleged abortion providers. Since state officials are not doing the enforcing they are not directly causing harm to any potential plaintiffs. There's nobody in the state government you can sue to initiate a challenge to the law.

I always assumed the translators were simply doing a heroic job. Getting puns and wordplay to work across languages is hard. I would not be surprised if some jokes had to be significantly changed for different languages or countries.
