Yer killin' me, Smalls...
MLB paid homage to the iconic fireworks scene from “The Sandlot” by recreating the masterpiece at Citizens Bank Park during the All-Star Game. The recreated spectacle started with the playing of Ray Charles’ famous “America the Beautiful” for the entire Philadelphia crowd before children in Phillies jerseys peeked through a gate in the fence along the right field foul line. The kids then came inside the ballpark and waved in several others who rode bicycles onto the field while fireworks shot off in the background.
An American flag was projected on screens throughout the stadium, and kids continued to make their way toward the middle of the infield before dropping their bikes.
Players from both teams stood side by side near their dugouts with what appeared to be sparklers, while select players, like Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh, stood with acting fans on the field.
The game itself was a bit of a snorer, with pitching dominating from both sides. The MVP of the game had one hit. One.
ZZZZZZZZZZ.

So maybe she should move to Zimbabwe...
Having never actually watched the show (never- I swear), I knew that Whoopi was about as black as it gets, but I had no idea that she 'idenitifies' as being black. I just thought she had a good tan. Anyway, Sunny Hostin of The View is doubling down on her controversial statement that American flags make her feel “unsafe.” The co-host’s remarks have sparked widespread backlash as many see them as disrespectful to the symbol of our nation and the millions who serve under it.
Hostin’s comments come at a time when patriotism and national pride are under attack from some corners of the left. For most Americans, the flag represents freedom, sacrifice, and unity - not a source of fear.
This kind of rhetoric fuels division and alienates everyday citizens who love their country. The American flag should unite us, not be treated as a threat by public figures on national television.
The flag is a symbol of everything good about this country - liberty, bravery, and opportunity. Statements like Hostin’s reveal a deep disconnect from the values that built America, and a total of respect for our Country and our core beliefs.
What a complete waste of oxygen...

How can they do this?
The discovery appears to show for the first time that compounds that are key to life can form in the vast expanse between stars and fuels optimism that other molecules important for the origins of life might be found in space.
A team led by astronomers at Spain’s Center for Astrobiology detected the sugar, called erythrulose, which is made of four carbon atoms. Sugars play a pivotal role in living systems, helping to provide energy, build biological structures and form parts of genetic material such as RNA and DNA.
To make the observations, the team used two radio telescopes, one at the Yebes Observatory north of Madrid and the other at the Institute for Radio Astronomy in the Millimeter Range, known as IRAM, in the Sierra Nevada in southern Spain, to study a molecular cloud known as G+0.693−0.027 near the center of the galaxy.
Researchers identified the sugar by comparing its molecular signature in the radio wave data from the molecular cloud with the wavelength pattern for erythrulose measured in the laboratory. The team initially searched for simpler sugars with three carbon atoms but didn’t find any.
Think about the brain level on that. Thinking they could actually find something they recognize billions of miles away, and then actually finding it?
What are the odds...

Research has shown that exposing sliced white button mushrooms to direct sunlight before cooking dramatically increases their vitamin D₂ content because UV-B light converts ergosterol in mushrooms into vitamin D₂. Slicing the mushrooms first increases the exposed surface area, making the process more effective.
One well-known study found that just 15 minutes of midday sun significantly increased vitamin D₂ to levels comparable to fatty fish (about 704 IU per 100 g of fresh mushrooms). Other studies have reported even larger increases depending on sunlight intensity and exposure conditions.

The copywriter's brain probably exploded immediately after he concocted the headline, so they just repeated it as the body copy. The ad is placed - or created - or credited to - someone or something called 'Bindright', whoever the fuck they are, so that adds a level of credibility to it, also, doesn't it?
Somebody somewhere is paying somebody somewhere to create and place that ad in the hopes you will respond.. And you tell me this isn't a great country? What was it that P. T. Barnum said about every minute?

“Globally, Burning Man is a cultural movement that exists in every continent and all over the place. But what it means, as far as experientially, it is very idiosyncratic. It really does depend on who you are and what part of it you see,” said Stuart Mangrum, director of Burning Man’s Philosophical Center, a department within the nonprofit.
Although some people refer to Burning Man as a festival, many say it’s closer to a living art piece. Every year around this time, the cities of Burning Man get built in different parts of the world, attracting more than 70,000 people to Black Rock City and another 100,000 or so more in affiliated events worldwide.

The history of the Medal of Honor...
In 1862, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation creating the U.S. Army Medal of Honor, establishing what would become the nation's highest military decoration for valor in combat.
The award was created to recognize soldiers who distinguished themselves through extraordinary bravery and self-sacrifice "beyond the call of duty." It followed the creation of a similar medal for the U.S. Navy a few months earlier, making it the beginning of America's highest system of military honors.
The first Army Medals of Honor were awarded to six Union soldiers who took part in the daring Andrews Raid, a mission deep behind Confederate lines to disrupt vital railroads and bridges. In 1863, the Medal of Honor became a permanent military decoration and was expanded to include commissioned officers as well.The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government.
It is presented by the President of the United States in the name of Congress to military personnel who risk their lives above and beyond the call of duty.History and OriginsFirst established in 1861 for the Navy and 1862 for the Army, the medal has been awarded to over 3,500 individuals.
To be awarded the Medal of Honor, the recipient's heroic actions must occur while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States, while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly foreign forces. The requirements are highly rigorous, demanding at least two sworn eyewitness statements and extensive documentation.
The physical design varies slightly by military branch (Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force/Space Force), but all are suspended from a light blue ribbon with 13 white stars representing the original colonies. Each medal incorporates themes of valor, strength, and the Roman goddess Minerva.

When Kansas got signed...
In 1974, Kansas had one shot to impress a record producer. The meeting
was set in the tiny town of Ellinwood, Kansas - population around 800.
They needed a full house. So they came up with a simple plan: offer free beer to everyone who came to the show. The room was packed. The energy was electric. And the producer (Don Kirschner) was impressed enough to sign them to a record deal.
A little free beer, a lot of loud music, and a career that was just getting started. Kirschner financed the band out of his own pocket through four albums. When they released 'Carry on my wayward son', they finally hit gold and the rest is history. A version of theband still tours to this day...
If you don't have Prime, sign up today and all the music is free.

Ever heard of the 'Arlington Ladies'? Very special people...
At Arlington National Cemetery, funerals happen every day—up to 30 of them. And at every single one, an Arlington Lady is there.
The group started in 1948 after the wife of an Air Force general saw young service members being buried without any family present. She decided that would never happen again.
Today, volunteers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard attend every funeral. They stand with the families, offer comfort, and quietly witness the final goodbye. No soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine is ever buried alone. A simple promise, kept for over 75 years.
They need oil, but they won't need Hormuz to get it...
In a significant development, Iraq, Syria, and the United States are reportedly working together to revive the Baniyas pipeline. The project aims to boost oil flows and help alleviate the ongoing global energy challenges.
The Baniyas pipeline, which historically transported Iraqi oil through Syria to the Mediterranean, could play a key role in increasing supply and stabilizing markets if successfully restarted. This kind of pragmatic cooperation across borders is rare in the region and could have major economic implications.
Energy security is national security. America benefits from stable global energy markets and diversified supply routes. Supporting projects that increase reliable oil production - while still pursuing American energy dominance at home - is smart policy. Cheap, abundant energy powers our economy and weakens adversaries who use oil as a weapon.
The point being made here is simple. We can't - and won't - allow those towel-headed fuckpipes in Tehran dictate what free and flowing commerce is all about.
