Wanna go on a cruise? Better bring a lot of moolah for this one...
The world’s biggest superyacht has set sail for the first time, ploughing through the sea and measuring in at 720ft long. The Orient Express Corinthian was christened at the Joubert graving dock in Saint-Nazaire, France, ready to provide a butler for every one of its 54 suites. The ship, constructed by French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique, also has a dedicated butler to each cabin. With interiors inspired by the golden age of travel, the Orient Express train and famous ocean liners of the 20th century, every spare inch has been fitted with leathers, precious wood veneers and marble. From May to October, Orient Express Corinthian will float around the Mediterranean and Adriatic, before crossing the Atlantic for Caribbean voyages in the autumn and winter months. Guests who don’t feel like swimming in the ocean but still want to get their toes wet can try out the 54ft lap pool, as well as a wider swimming pool and a marina.
In 2027, a new collection of itineraries will see the ship sail to the eastern Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Prices for the inaugural cruise have not yet been set, but 54 suites will eventually have prices generally ranging from approximately $ 22,000 to over $ 120,000 per suite, depending on duration and itinerary. Example 2026 bookings start at roughly $ 23,000 for short 3-night trips up to $ 155,000 for week-long Mediterranean voyages.

Diplomacy works. Let's all have scotch...
President Trump said Thursday he will be removing a 10% tariff he imposed last year on Scottish whiskeys in honor of this week’s visit by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, a major trade win for Britain.
“In Honor of the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, who have just left the White House, soon headed back to their wonderful Country, I will be removing the Tariffs and Restrictions on Whiskey having to do with Scotland’s ability to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Whiskey and Bourbon, two very important Industries within Scotland and Kentucky,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“People have wanted to do this for a long time, in that there had been great Inter-Country Trade, especially having to do with the Wooden Barrels used. The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking! A wonderful Honor to have them both in the U.S.A.”
Scottish whisky (spelled without an 'e') is a protected spirit distilled in Scotland from malted barley, water, and yeast, matured for at least three years in oak casks. Key types include Single Malt (one distillery) and Blended (malt and grain mix), with prominent regions like Speyside (sweet) and Islay (smoky) offering distinct profiles.
Key Whisky Types & Examples include Single Malts like The Macallan Sherry Oak 12/25 Year Old, Glenfiddich 12/15 Year Old (my personal favorite when I can afford it), Laphroaig 10 Year, Highland Park 18 Year, The Dalmore 15 Year.
Blended whiskys include labels like Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal 18 Year, Monkey Shoulder, Cutty Sark, and Clan MacGregor.
Key Scotch whisky distilling regions include Speyside (fruit, spice), Highlands (rich, smoky), Islay (peat, smoke), Campbeltown (salty), Lowlands (light).

This little Chaquita Banana's wrapped just a little too tight...
She missed her flight and was ready to fight. Pushing, kicking and shouting are the typical makings of a temper tantrum - those emotional outbursts often exhibited by teething tots. But an enraged adult woman at Mexico City International Airport, in Mexico, recently threw a hissy fit of epic - and possibly criminal - proportions after arriving late to her flight gate and being denied entry onto an Aeromexico aircraft.
Footage of the unnamed traveler, donning a flowy white skirt and top, brownish blazer and black fanny pack, shows her shoving security staffers upon being barred from the plane. Maybe, next time, she'll get there on time. I wonder if she's spending the weekend in a Mexican slam...
She's a maniac...
This is an even better price...
A barefoot HillBetty beauty if ever there was one...

Get 'em out by Friday. WTF is an 'empty plate charge?
A family dining out in an Austrian pizzeria were left stunned after learning they would be charged €11 ($12.90) for sharing a single plate of food - as restaurants across the country clamp down on what they call 'freeloading' behaviours from customers. The unnamed father said he had taken his wife and children to a popular pizzeria in the Grieskirchen district this month, expecting a routine meal.
With the two children too young to finish a full portion of food, the parents planned to order one pizza for them to share. But after scanning the menu more closely, they noticed an unusual policy. 'Our pizzas are charged per person', the restaurant noted, effectively prohibiting shared meals.
But with pizzas at the restaurant starting at €11, and prices rising to nearly €20 ( $23.40) depending on toppings, the family would have faced a nearly €40 ($ 46.80) bill for two children to eat. The move is part of a broader shift across Austria, where restaurants are increasingly introducing surcharges for shared dishes - referred to as 'stolen dishes', 'thief's plates', or 'freeloader plates'.
Well, I personally hope they're out of business by Friday. What a completely jerked-off move. You're in the fuckin' PIZZA BUSINESS, not the 'per-person' meal business.
My wife and I try to eat out at least once a week, and nine times out of ten it's a shared entree, sitting at the bar kinda thing, usually a burger or a sandwich or something similar that's easy to split. If any joint - especially a pizzeria - ever tried that shit here, they'd be closed in two days. Tragic insurance fire kinda thing, if ya get my drift. Juss' sayin'...
How many months along, Calvin...

This Cleveland Guardians fan is no 'Indian Giver'. He's just a dick...
The adult Cleveland Guardians fan who ripped a home run ball away from an 11-year-old girl during Monday’s game acknowledged it was a “bad decision” as he faces a wave of online backlash. Max Quinn said it was a “heat-of-the-moment thing” while discussing his actions during the bottom of the fifth inning after the Guardians’ Daniel Schneemann hit a two-run home run to right field at Progressive Field on Monday. “I’m so utterly sorry for everything that’s transpired,” Quinn told WJW on Wednesday. “I made a bad decision; a lot of bad decisions. I’m paying for it online.”
The viral video — which was captured by the Rays broadcast — showed Quinn bobbling the home run catch before the souvenir landed near a young girl, Evelyn, who was coming down the steps to try and get the ball, only for Quinn to run over and snatch it away. What a dick...
Do you really need an 'in-store experience', or do you wanna get your shit, pay for it and split...
Walmart is showing self-checkout machines the door at additional supercenters as the retail giant’s automation experiment continues to unravel. The world’s biggest retailer removed the machines from its South Philadelphia store in March, and brought back traditional cashier lanes.
It's only the latest location to ax self-checkout. A Walmart store in Missouri removed all self-checkout machines after the kiosks led to 509 police calls in just five months.
Let me say the obvious. People are scumbags. Give them a chance to steal a can of tomato paste and they will.
That's what self-checkout is - an opportunity to pinch a bag of potato chips - at least to enough people that it's become a huge 'shrinkage' (their word for shoplifting/theft) issue for the company, with no way for them to fully understand how much it's costing them, but they know it's a big number. Given a chance to be an asshole, you'd be amazed how many people will.
Juss' sayin'...
Proof positive the towel head's an idiot...
A supposedly 'edumicated' adult woman who hates the country she serves and really should be repatriated to her native shithole in the middle of fuckin' Zambeezee land or wherever the fuck she's from didn't know that there was a thing called World War Two. Think about that. This individual actual sits at the center of power in our country.
When they talk about redistricting and all that other shit, maybe the one thing they could do is prevent people in the inner cities - the large urban areas where more people are on welfare than those who work - maybe they shouldn't be allowed to vote at all. There's a better than reasonable chance that idiots like this broad would never again attain any level of power in our society. Juss' sayin'...

Reported By: The Blaze / April 28, 2026 - Governor Tim Walz is facing
heavy criticism after attempting to claim credit for recent FBI raids on Minnesota daycare centers despite allegations of state-level obstruction.
The Department of Justice executed warrants at nearly two dozen sites as part of a massive fraud investigation into state-funded childcare programs. While Walz posted on social media claiming the raids were the result of state and federal agencies sharing information, FBI Director Kash Patel forcefully rejected the claim, stating the FBI and DOJ drafted and executed every warrant while the fraud plagued Minnesota under the Governor’s watch.
Tim Walz claimed the raids were the result of state agencies reporting "irregular behavior," but federal officials have publicly dismissed his involvement. Kash Patel told Walz to "come again" and asserted that the FBI and DOJ were responsible for the entire operation.

The study took place over a period of three days , held at the Moose Lodge in Pawseetuckme, New Hampshah. Although there was no clear winner after 72 hours of continued 'taste testing', it was determined that this ad-hoc study was actually probably the greatest free-beer scam ever perpetrated in New England history, and they've a shitload of 'em...
