TBF, today is Good Friday.

If FElon ever seriously did embrace the Detroit Tigers and the organization seriously and publicly welcomed and merchandised that, I would have a serious decision to make.

You beat me by some six or eight years. I wasn't aware of him until Spy Magazine.

I'm making no claims about the guy. You are. That's why you have to provide evidence and I don't have to provide a thing. Since DHS is a party with interest in the dispute, citing them as a source falls out of bounds. They are not providing evidence—they are making claims. (1) is an unsupported claim; (5) is also an unsupported claim; (6) does not confirm he is a terrorist or criminal (and simply being undocumented is not in itself a crime); (7) is an unsupported claim; (8) is not relevant to any activities that are claimed he is being detained for. These are all easily dismissable. (2-4) would be more interesting if they related to a crime committed recently. But the write-up is from 2019, during Trump's first term when his DHS could have dealt with Garcia at the time. But they didn't, meaning there must not have been enough evidence to move forward on the guy. Also, the document does not specify any criminal action the guy might have been involved in at the time, only a lot of circumstantial claims meant to imply criminality. Not for nothing, any provenance to the document was removed before being posted on the web page, meaning, we don't know where it's from and who put it together. So it's a lot of smoke from more or less an anonymous source. Maybe you think the idea of "smoke equals fire" should lead to forfeiture of due process, as was the case here, to which I would reply, that's never been how justice in the United States rolls.

I was simply nine years too early with my predictions of this.

We are all nothing more than marks.

It’s real. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a64503989/tesla-odometers-are-inaccurate-lawsuit-claims/

It should be implemented for 2026.

There are probably be some planets like that. My hypothesis is that most other planets with life are anywhere from the primordial ooze to caveman stage.

I know, I don't have high expectations for an actual response, either. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be called on to defend his allegations what the situation requires it, and I think this is just such a situation. And who knows, maybe he will upend expectations and surprise us with something. So come on, @Archie, whatcha got?

If you are here to not merely troll—if you have some actual evidence that the guy is a terrorist—then share that with us, because everything we are hearing is that Garcia is being held without any such evidence of terrorism or gang affiliation. This is a very simple request, and If you reply without providing such evidence, that is a tacit admission that you have none.

Is that where I'm scheduled to die? El ****ing Salvador? Christ Almighty.

I didn't know you were Chinese. 😛

That was Trump's situation before he became a politician. Now that he essentially owns the entire government, things are obviously different, at least indefinitely.

You misspelled "neighbours".

I have often wondered of all the planets in the universe that host intelligent (or sentient, if you prefer) life, in what stage of development versus the others is Earth? I hypothesize that out of however many planets have any signs of life at all—whether it's a thousand, a million, a billion, whatever it is—Earth is well into the 90th percentile of life development. I also hypothesize Earth is in the end stages of life, which probably means something like a few million years left versus billions, before it embarks on its own death spiral as a planet. I have nothing to base this on but my self-proclaimed educated predilection for being able to successfully estimate the relative values of objects similar to one another.

Note that they didn't call it a "surprising security breach".

Another huge stinkeroo. 💩

Greetings from beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

And he has the salary because he has a track record, and because he has a track record, he gets more chances to make good than Joe Blow on the minimum. So it’s all connected I guess.

What is the deal with Edge of Seventeen? It's gotta be only because of the guitar riff, right? Or maybe it's their mothers' favorite song?

That's what I assume as well.

I am there today, and lucky me, it’s a getaway game with a Keider Montero start! That probably means Nido at catcher, Kreidler in center, and Riley, Carpenter, and Keith sitting against the hook. Should be seeing Tork at first, though. We might have a Javy-at-short sighting, too, with Ibanez at third. With any luck, the game will be close enough to see some high-leverage pinch-hitting late.

That might have been what it was. I seem to remember a running treadmill in the show? I may be misremembering that. Something about it seemed too high concept, too “out there”, to me. If there’s another episode you can recommend that you think will hook me, I’m game. I’m hoping it’s closer in spirit to Twilight Zone than to Outer Limits.
