I could not be less interested in what the New York Times has to say about this topic.

Vote results for “a motion to table Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors” can be found here (where “yay” means a vote to shut down impeachment proceedings and “nay” means a vote to continue with them): https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/roll175.xml

Maned wolves have a musky odor very similar skunks. I volunteered at a facility that cared for one of these and can confirm.

Weed smells like weed.

As wacky as this seems, this makes a ton of sense the more that I think about it, specifically for smaller regional airports that are less than a 2-hr drive from a larger airport.

If your origin or destination is anywhere aside from a major city, there’s a lot of value in starting your trip at a closer regional airport. You get the small-airport TSA treatment, which is always faster than major city airports. The terminal itself is going to be considerably better-appointed than virtually any bus terminal (commerce, staffing, accessibility, etc). No need to travel between a bus and airport terminal if it’s all in the same building. Ticketing works along-side existing systems, as well as baggage-handling. And a bus requires a hell of a lot less fuel than a jet, making it a more eco-friendly option as well.

People better at modeling than me could probably build a graph of time and feature benefits for air and bus travel, which I’d imagine would show bang-for-buck on buses being superior (despite their speed and moderate prestige) for trips or travel-legs less than 150 miles or so. Any destination or hop further than that would probably make more sense for a plane.

I wonder how much Scarjo got paid to sit there and pretend to not laugh.

DBAN baby!

FYI, Sesame Street went public-private in 2016 when they signed a deal with HBO to fund new episodes which then were permitted to air on PBS several months later.

In Dec 2024, HBO/Max called the deal off and effectively cancelled the show. Now they’re shopping for a new home and, with the threats of PBS funding cuts, the notion of returning to PBS is in question.

So basically the showrunners of Sesame Street are at least partially responsible for the corner they painted themselves into here.

Electric light orchestra?

The notion that 45% approve of what’s actually happening is appalling.

Regular Car Reviews will have a ton of fun with this.

Depending on how stoned you’re interested in getting, and your cognitive abilities under the influence, consider Mad Ape Den.

At its core, Mad Ape Den is a writing exercise where you only use words composed of three letters or less:

To bid you a bit of it, the gab may go as so.

Our favorite thing to do is to make a guessing game of it. Have everyone else try to guess something you’ve chosen, describing it using Mad Ape Den. Your turn ends if you mess up and use a longer word. For example:

He is a man, but he is a bat, too.

Batman!

Cars made to be sold and driven in Japan (aka JDM vehicles, for Japanese Domestic Market) can not be imported into the US until they are over 25 years old. This is part of a series of import laws that American vehicle manufacturers lobbied for to keep foreign cars from dominating domestic marketplaces.

The US also has crash test safety standards that domestic cars must meet because a) safety is good, and b) people drive tanks like maniacs. Kei cars used to be pretty awful in crash tests, but have gotten a lot better in recent years.

I’m sure Dunkey will be happy about the Animal Well plug.

I believe so, but they’re going to use the public tweet to argue that the tip was public. “It’s not insider trading if it’s all out in the open.”

Mafioso shit.

Isn’t a lot of that just fancy chemistry?

“AMATEURS!” bellows the shadowy mathematician from the dark corner.
