I think its popularity is bc it is: 1. Simple game/set up 2. Cheap, can DIY one 3. Hard to hurt someone with the bean bags, unlike lawn darts
Its interesting that cornhole was a pretty rare thing to see a decade ago and now everybody has cornhole at reunions, birthday parties, bars.
Again, even the Wizards in Robes do not again desecrate the Constitution on this, every single one of these "national emergency" and "national security" loopholes, written into law during the Cold War, by both parties, need to go. They are simply incompatible with our current politics.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
just an absolutely terrible time to be a rational person who is capable of critical thinking and cares about other people
the quotes and replies here have HUNDREDS of people wishing ill on JK Rowling in incredibly vivid, creative ways, which I only note because NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME or any other cis person, but nonbinary author Dani Finn has been suspended for saying it appalling hypocrisy, @moderation.bsky.app

Rained out here by Oxbow Park a few times today, not super hard but enough to get the roof leak going
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
Its such a common question to ask. You'd think they'd just write a program to answer that correctly that the llm could access
if we took every penny every billionaire has, trump's campaign would've been starved for funding, media wouldn't be owned by right wing billionaires, kamala harris would be president right now and thus there wouldn't have been a $4T hole punched in the debt to extend Trump's tax cut
World War II pro-American propaganda.
Very satisfying to look at
and as far as responsibility goes, i think ferritor should be held criminally liable for the laws he broke while doing DOGE's work and referred for crimes against humanity
looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out
Same. There's 2 Ellis Island entries for my great grandfather from Austria-Hungary (from a town that is now in Romania)
That looks delicious
Roughly 30ā40% of U.S. corn production ā about 30 million acres ā is dedicated to ethanol. That same land area could support around 5,000 gigawatts of solar capacity, which is 3ā4 times the total nameplate capacity of the entire U.S. electric grid. We don't have a land problem.

It's because rich people actually have to see them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Big tree. Not a Doug Fir, not sure what it is tho
It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.
It was a mistake during breakfast too, my dad didn't prepare me at all before showing it to me

I spent $200 on wildflower seed 4 years ago for these berms that can't be mowed, and these 5 black eyed susans (and 1 lupine on the N end) are all I got.
Those are both great. I'm a sucker for the sweet potato fries too. I think their only miss for me is the fried asparagus.
I like the classic cheeseburger, but it's nothing special. The seasonal shakes and fries are where they get me.
I use the GardePro E6, $60 on Amazon, to keep track of the coyotes and other predators in our area. Takes 8 AA, can connect phone to the device with Bluetooth and an app to look at the pica or videos without switching out the memory card.
Ted Cruz: āVacationing Is How I Grieveā
its actually an aunt/niece relationship. the other niece had her kittens a couple months ago and there are two males available (two barn cats can turn into 15 very quickly it turns out)
most are white with grey,, black, or orange.. and i think two have two colors
If you know anyone that wants kittens our barn cats just had 7
worth pointing out, again, that a 20% tariff on Vietnamese imports alone (our sixth-largest trading partner!) would have been considered the worst trade war in modern American history pre-Trump. Instead it is now treated as a "deal". How far we've fallen.
Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, Iāll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.
#Pride month is over, but wrath month has just begun
One advantage of this is that we can say we're going to crack down on people taking advantage of the system and then just legalize everyone and make immigrating to the U.S. much easier. People don't know anything about what's happening or how the system works, we can just lie.

I use electric fences for my pigs but I had a few that kept escaping so I built a fenced pen and it took a dozen tries to get it escape proof and even then they were getting close to breaking out before it was time for freezer camp
I was about to correct the egregious math error, but looking at his posts he seemed to just be a troll. Agreed with Cuban but the protests weren't lefty enough...

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat
That episode was one of the best, I think about that guy and all that wasted money a couple times a year.
They also had them outside the stadiums to be enjoyed at more reasonable hours
Cream cheese and carmalized onions, that was it. Never had any of that other stuff on it and it really hit the spot at 2am when the bars closed.
Caught the end, sounded great!
I'm just curled into a ball
Is that greenhouse type plastic on the roof? Does it last long? I was using those clear corrugated plastic panels and they burnt and cracked themselves after 2 years
WSJ: After tech to manage air traffic failed several times in recent days, 20% of the FAA controllers at Newark Airport walked out. Now, United has canceled 35 daily RT flights from Newark. FAA staffing at Newark is too low to handle the planes scheduled, United's CEO said. Gift link!
"Your health records will be on the block chain." "Everyone will live in the Metaverse." "All art will be NFTs." "Generative AI will replace the need for humans." We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

My dad made long Island ice tea in our 10 gallon crock for a party once. He had 8 gallons left after the party and drank long islands for a week until he got sick of it

Trump supporters, 2016: Look at that jet! Donald Trump is an American success story who'll use his years of business experience to put more money in your pocket! Trump supporters, 2025: Listen to the leaves in the wind...the calling bird...the humble cricket...what possessions compare to these?
One way of looking at yesterday is that Trump forgot the lesson of the law firms and universities. Go after one country at a time and that country is in a jam. Go after literally every country in the world at once, including the penguin countries, and youāre in the jam.
Once again: reject McKinley, embrace George

I live up river and the number of people who try to raft down with kids this time of year is unbelievable. It's cold and there's at least one class 3 between Dodge and Oxbow.

Ugh, I was wondering why it wasn't on my dashboard! It's like they want me to not use the service.
Interesting article about the low-cost, low-maintenance solution used in the BesanƧon tramway on segments with grassy RoW. Essentially, there is no continuous foundation slab but prefab elements on compacted soil, hence no irrigation, no drainage and less concrete. api-city.fr/projets/infr...
The filmcast tried to correct an episode with bad audio and my podcast app wouldn't let me download the good episode for almost a week. Closed the app, restarted the phone, nothing would update to the new episode.
That was wild
a thought iāll put out there: it is not the ideological moderation that is the electoral problem, it is that selecting for candidates who chase popular issue positions is necessarily selecting for candidates who exude the kind of focused-group affect that voters genuinely hate
Same!
I prefer the UK version because it's a lot of regular people, sometimes it's hard to root for these reality stars
For the 1st time in a 25 yr career as international analyst Peter Zeihan is worried for the USA. Watch the whole thing. He lays out some very well researched ideas about who really benefits from this Admin. We may need to prepare for something horrible. youtu.be/lGFKwshHjWQ?...
I have heard just one frog by itself, if it's a racket it must be more than one tho. They only ribbet every 5 seconds or so, at least that's how the ones by the Sandy River are.
Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Teamsters represent 2,000 federal workers and tens of thousands of public sector workers whose jobs depend on federal money. Sean O'Brien isn't just a class traitor, he's a traitor to his own members. He should not be welcome in any labor space.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
This essay from Trevor Morrison and Rick Pildes prompted me to run down the answer to a question thatās been bugging me ever since J.D. Vance began posting about defying court orders: Are federal courts completely dependent on the U.S. Marshallās service to enforce civil contempt orders?
āWe must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,ā President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941
This moment continues to feel like February 2020 for fascism: smart people who pay attention are freaking out, your average sea cucumber-like American is either totally unaware or blithely assuming everything will Be Fine.
Same. Rock Creek is my ideal McMenamin's
The old one has more charm, very cozy. The newer one I think felt like an enlarged boiler room from Kennedy School - open space, industrial.
It's been 7 years since I've been there, but the pub near the river I don't remember tvs. The newer one on Monroe by the college might have tvs.
The more bar type McMenamin's have tvs, but not the restaurants. Power Station at Edgefield doesn't but the Lucky pool hall does.
Musk's intern "Big Balls" was in an internet nazi satanic pedophile hacking cult, he was under FBI investigation for cybercrimes and he was given access to US Treasury classified informatIon, including your grandma's social security and bank account numbers just repeat that over and over again
