I’m not sure where this picture was taken, but if it’s in Rome, then this still probably built by Romans. Just not the ancient ones.

That’s a really good point. I live in Colorado currently and my first thought was that those are close to the Avs colors. I didn’t poke around the website too much but maybe you know, are they an Avs affiliate?

I like the logo and the colors! I grew up watching the Wheeling Nailers so I’m a fan of the ECHL as a league. I kinda wish they had a hat in the red color, I’m in the mood for a new one but I have a few black ones already.

I’m amused, appalled, disappointed, confused, and unsurprised all at the same time. This may have broken my brain for the next few minutes.

The two things I want to point out are the TrumpRX ad, what a lack of any semblance of class, and one of the favorite movies being Ghostbusters(2016) (I missed the 2016 when I read it the first time and was more confused).

As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I can easily sit quietly in a room with my own thoughts for 20+ minutes.

What I can’t seem to do is make the two simple phone calls I need to make and write the one page report that I need to write before the end of the week. That’s literally all I need to do today, I’ve been at my desk for two hours and have done none of it. If I got that done now, I could coast the rest of my work day but instead I’m going to sit here and stress for a few more hours before I finally do any of it. Why? I can’t tell you because I don’t know.

It’s amusing how much time and energy the GOP is wasting on one race that was just a mayoral race. Aren’t they elected representatives of large swaths of people who aren’t in New York City? Don’t those people have problems and issues that need addressed? How does Greg Abbot’s snarky comment help the people of Texas? How does any Senator/Representative wasting time on Zorhan Mamdani help get the government open again?

All volumes of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers. My brain is mostly just useless trivia.

Poor Brownie, I have a rescue too and she’ll be fine one moment and then in a similar state to Brownie the next. When mine gets like that, I take her for a walk and that seems to break the spell so maybe something he likes to try and get his mind on to something else. Sometimes that doesn’t work so I just have to give her some time (usually just over night)

Another option might be trying to introduce your dog to the chain similarly to how people do it with vacuums and other things dogs don’t typically like. Lay it on the ground and encourage any sniffing or other interaction with treats, praise, or some other positive reinforcement so that he begins to associate the chain noise with good things. Eventually, start clattering the chain and continue the praise/treats when he is interacting or not showing fear.

I’m not sure if those ideas will help but it’s the best I got.

It's a very terrible thing that happened. And it's just terrible to see that happening. It's just terrible. So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it.

I would’ve also accepted, “Blank?! BLANK?! You’re not looking at the big picture!

 

Great comedy and history podcast, one comedian researches a story and reads the story to a second comedian. This is an older episode where the history of automobiles is discussed with focus on ways the car business, propaganda, and the government helped create the current car culture in the US.
