Trans fats that is. Seems like they shouldn’t be allowed in sports, right? Maybe o-linemen or sumo wrestling but otherwise keep em away. And if they’re in the bathroom, that’s not good either. If you have to go into the sh1tter to sneak your fifth doughnut of the day, you may have a problem. Hell, I wouldn’t be opposed to banning them altogether Trans fat is considered the worst type of fat to eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats — also called trans-fatty acids — raise "bad" cholesterol and also lowers "good" cholesterol. A diet laden with trans fats increases the risk of heart disease, the leading killer of adults. The more trans fats eaten, the greater the risk of heart and blood vessel disease. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/trans-fat/art-20046114#:~:text=Unlike other dietary fats%2C trans,heart and blood vessel disease.

Is there any way this is good? The director Rob Reiner has said that an upcoming sequel to his 1984 documentary parody “This Is Spinal Tap” is scheduled to begin shooting in late February and will feature Paul McCartney, Elton John and Garth Brooks, among other stars. “Spinal Tap” satirized a bungled tour by a fictitious British heavy-metal band of that name, as well as the process of documenting it. The film, which was mostly improvised, was inspired by “The Last Waltz,” a Martin Scorsese documentary about the rock group the Band. Plans for “Spinal Tap II” were first announced last year. The entertainment news outlet Deadline reported at the time that the members of the fictitious band — the actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer — would all return for the sequel. Over the years, the three have played real-life concerts as their Spinal Tap characters. Reiner announced new details about the “Spinal Tap” sequel during an episode of a podcast hosted by the comedian Richard Herring that was released on Monday. The film had initially been scheduled for release in 2024, but that was before strikes that disrupted filming schedules in Hollywood. No updated release date has been announced, according to Variety. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/28/movies/spinal-tap-sequel-rob-reiner.html

What’re you’re favorites? One I saw recently and enjoyed was called They Look Like People. I don’t want to spoil it but thought it came together very well in the end. Lotta good Indie-type horror movies out there on the streaming services but you have to know what you’re looking for.

And the polls prove it: In April, NBC News released a national pollbreaking the race down by where respondents got their news. Biden led by 49 points among voters who relied on newspapers. He led by 20 points among voters relying on national network news. In the slightly archaic-sounding category of “digital websites,” Biden led by 10 points. Among voters who rely on social media, Trump led by four points. Among voters who rely on cable news, Trump led by eight. Voters who get their news from YouTube and Google favor Trump by 16 points. And voters who don’t follow political news at all favor Trump by 26 points. If you’re smart and like to read stuff, Biden is your guy. But if you’re lazy or stupid, well… https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/opinion/biden-trump-polls-debates.html

What do y’all think? Angry customer? Hit? Jilted husband? Any way we can tie this to the libs?? The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, was fatally shot outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning, the police said. The executive, Brian Thompson, 50, was shot just after 6:45 a.m. at the New York Hilton Midtown on Avenue of the Americas near 54th Street, according to a police report. Mr. Thompson was taken to Mount Sinai West, where he was pronounced dead. Police officers were still searching for the gunman, who fled on foot along the Avenue of the Americas, the police said. Witnesses described him as wearing a cream-colored jacket, a black face mask and a gray backpack, but the police later said he appeared to have been dressed all in black. The police believe Mr. Thompson was targeted in the attack, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The shooting happened on the morning of the company’s annual investor conference in New York City, and Mr. Thompson had arrived early to prepare for the conference, the people said. The gunman apparently knew which door Mr. Thompson was going to enter and shot him several times from a few feet away, then fled. The gunman, the people said, ran, jumped on a bicycle and pedaled away.

Seems like a good thing to me but then again I haven't watched Fox News this morning (or ever, really): Much more at the link... http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/24/world/meast/iran-nuclear-deal/index.html

Couldn’t find a thread on this one. Apple TV show. Man it really commits to the premise. Bleakness and total monotony for the first several episodes. Very hard to get into. Did anyone make it all the way through? Because by the end I thought it was pretty good, but holy hell you sure have to want it.

Let this be a warning to those of you who long to hit the open road with a 2,200-pound steer riding shotgun: Observe all traffic laws, especially when passing through Norfolk, Neb. Lee Meyer, 63, a retired machinist, learned that lesson on Wednesday. For seven years, Mr. Meyer has been chauffeuring his 2,200-pound Watusi-longhorn mix named Howdy Doody with its horns and head exposed to the open air in a customized Ford Crown Victoria with the license plate “Boy Dog.” But he had never been stopped by the police, he said, until Wednesday morning as he drove Howdy Doody into Norfolk from his 15-acre ranch south of Neligh, about 35 miles away. Mr. Meyer had just turned off the highway on what was supposed to be a test run in preparation for Howdy Doody’s appearance at Norfolk’s Oktoberfest when he noticed a police car behind him had turned on its flashing lights. Someone had reported “a vehicle driving down the road with a cow in it,” Capt. Chad Reiman, of the Norfolk Police Division, said. “The assumption was it was a calf — something smaller that would fit in a vehicle,” Captain Reiman said. But the officer found Mr. Meyer and his large steer in a car that had its roof, door, back seat and windshield partly removed and its shock absorbers and frame reinforced to accommodate the beast’s massive girth and weight.

I thought MAGA was kinda backtracking on support for the gheys, since it kinda goes along with tranny bashing. But now, Trump has picked a ghey married dude with children (that they’re obviously indoctrinating) to be his treasury secretary! Plus he’s part of the elite AND he used to work for Soros!! Which I personally think is pretty open-minded of Trump. But maybe not so MAGA A capitalist with a soft spot for royalty. A deep-rooted Southerner with a fondness for stylish New York locales. A gay man, married with children, who has embraced a Republican Party that has sometimes vilified elements, and individuals, of the L.G.B.T.Q. movement. Such are the crosscurrents coursing through the biography of Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The appointment would give him vast power over the nation’s economic plans — and place him fifth in line for the presidency, potentially the highest governmental position ever held by a gay person. A hedge-fund titan with a formidable professional pedigree, Mr. Bessent, 62, has been a quiet presence in New York’s social scene since the 1990s, when he worked for George Soros, the liberal megadonor and financier, eventually managing tens of billions of dollars in assets. He counts among his friends a group of elegant socialites and women of the world, Capote-ian swans of a different era, including the president-elect’s former sister-in-law Blaine Trump, Princess Firyal of Jordan and Queen Camilla, whom he once hosted at his Hamptons home — and forced to smoke her cigarettes outside. He is friends, too, with King Charles III, who has regularly hosted him at Buckingham Palace. Mr. Bessent no longer has a home in New York City, and is instead schooling his daughter and son, ages 11 and 15, in London with his husband, John Freeman, a former assistant district attorney in the Bronx, whom he married in 2011. The family also has homes in Charleston, S.C. — the state where Mr. Bessent was raised — and in Lyford Cay, a gated community in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, which advertises itselfas “one of the Caribbean’s most elegant and exclusive enclaves.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/style/scott-bessent-trump-treasury.html

Surprisingly good, if you stick with it What else is new and good?

Seems to be a bit of a disagreement on what exactly is a “terrorist attack.” Does it include lone wolf psychos or are we talking organized jihad stuff? To me it makes sense to focus on the latter as the threat is potentially ongoing there vs isolated to the one attack with a lone wolf. But terror is the purpose for both so I can see why people would include those as well

Well 5/6 is a pretty decent run. Guess it just wasn’t for you

Not to go all posty on you guys, but I have never seen the movie or the show

2016 he had them convinced that he could “stop it” because he “knew how it was done.” Basically that he was an inside man on their side At this point it is simply willful suspension of disbelief.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting! From this video seems like most likely scenario is the flight crew panicked?
