- It’s probably the guy from the Atlantic story a few weeks back but I’m not going anywhere near Twitter. - spamlet May 24, 17:39 2
  - I found the story via DuckDuckGo. It is that guy and he gave up the non-profit status after a group sent a letter. No TikTokers and certainly no whistleblower. -- (link*) - spamlet May 24, 17:42 1
    - Awwwww. Well it was fun while it lasted. -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 17:49

Not only have we succeeded in letting COVID win and just let it be a part of every day life, we’ve also turned the flu into a year round thing. - Tim May 24, 16:40 2

holy crap -- (link) - mud May 24, 16:20 5
- If I were Mayor Turner, I’d immediately revoke the license for holding the NRA meeting here in Houston. Tell them to take it Beaumont buddy. -- nm - Qale May 24, 17:56
- In every other country that has one of these incidents, it's "OK, no more guns". In the US it's "but it wasn't *my* gun..." - Reagen May 24, 16:26 2
  - Is it all that necessary to keep going on with the "your country/my country" stuff? I mean, we get it. -- nm - con_carne May 24, 16:30 1

  - Your DTL team is right to play poorly for you. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 16:11 2
    - They're certainly doing that with relish! (comes with homemade relish) - Swilcan Baron May 24, 16:29 1
      - I'm actually more concerned that what works in 22 minute increments will lose all its zing when stretched to 102. -- nm - Swilcan Baron May 24, 17:02

  - He’s doing the Garth Brooks touring style? Not revolutionary. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 16:13 3

- Also, this is a big get for MSG. Since UBS Arena opened, they have come to play. -- nm - MDH May 24, 16:03
- As It Was is all over the place because he gave us enough time to miss him (which is why The Weeknd’s album flopped imo), but it’s not that good. -- nm - Tim May 24, 15:48
- I know he's super popular but 15 nights at MSG is amazing. Will he mix it up or pretty much the same set every night? - zunk xometimes May 24, 15:40 1
  - I’d assume mix it up and have special guests but who knows. -- nm - MDH May 24, 16:09

- JEsus. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 14:46
Guess who's addressing the NRA this Friday. In Texas. - TWuG May 24, 14:28 2

- Insult to injury, the Border Patrol showed up at the school which should reassure the majority Latino population - TWuG May 24, 14:34

  - Sex rehab. -- nm - Mop May 24, 15:16
  - Maybe they had to invent a new kind -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 14:25 1
    - Or he'll be written up in an article in the Journal of Addictive Medicine. - RelutantCynic (Oregon State Beaver Believer) May 24, 14:26
- I hope rehab had time to brace itself -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 14:22
Yeah, based on Reagan and Beak's remarks (and my foodie snobbery) that sounds like some bad steak. -- nm - Diva May 24, 14:19 12
- Sounds like Texas Roadhouse to me. - spamlet May 24, 14:22 10
  - This would be our equivalent of that -- (link) - Reagen May 24, 14:40 5

    - Ontario also has Lone Star Texas Grill (corrected from Long Star) -- (link*) - zork May 24, 15:16
    - That looks like Longhorn. Which is terrible. -- nm - Diva May 24, 14:46 2
      - I suppose it comes down to your definition of "fancy". The Keg is in the "collared shirt, tie not needed" category, while Montana's is in - Reagen May 24, 15:48 1
        
        Very succinct and accurate -- nm - zork May 24, 15:51
  - This, so this. -- nm - Diva May 24, 14:37
  - I had Texas Roadhouse 2 weeks ago when driving to visit a friend. I was pleasantly impressed with the food and price actually. Not too shabby. -- nm - MDH May 24, 14:30
  - It's about a half star below Ruth's Chris. - Reagen May 24, 14:29 1
    - Hang on, hang on, hang on. Vegetarian Meatloaf. Ponder that for a moment. -- nm - Swilcan Baron May 24, 15:57
- Well ... you'll have to try it and find out, I guess. - Beryllium May 24, 14:21
She's too basic. Oh my GOd. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 14:17 3
- I'm glad someone got the slow pitch I served but I expected it to be that she is full of acid and Jason is just a mellow, basic guy -- nm - zork May 24, 14:28
- Talk about an acid burn. -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 14:19 1
  - That was salty. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 14:21
y'all need to move up here. Seriously. -- nm - mud May 24, 14:16 1
