Do you get confused as easily as I do?

 Sometimes, the way news is written, you have no idea 

what they're trying to say... 

 

This is how they wrote the caption for the news item above:

 

   Kansas residents voted against a ban looking to expand abortion restrictions in the state that potentially served as a pathway to a total ban on the procedures after Roe v. Wade was overturned. It was a major victory for abortion rights advocates (right) and a blow to anti-abortion groups (left) following weeks in which many states in the South and Midwest largely banned abortion. The referendum in the conservative state was the first test of U.S. voter sentiment about abortion rights since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. Throughout the state, there were signs urging residents to vote no against the measure, which was pushed by the Value Them Both Coalition.

Okay - In five words or less, WTF is that story about?

 

And - for the record - I don't think we'd have to worry about either 

one of these two having to get a abortion, if ya get my drift...

Joey Gallo’s time in The Bronx is finally over.
 

Joey Gallo’s nightmare tenure in The Bronx is history. The outfielder, acquired with lofty expectations from the Rangers prior to trade deadline last year, is headed to the Dodgers, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed Tuesday, just prior to the deadline this year.

He was sent to Los Angeles in exchange for minor league pitcher Clayton Beeter, the Dodgers’ 15th ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. Beeter, who has spent this season with Double-A Tulsa, was a second-round pick by the Dodgers in the 2020 draft out of Texas Tech and is in just his second full professional season.

The 28-year-old Gallo will go down as one of the biggest trade busts in Yankees history. They gave up four prospects for him while he was in the midst of a solid season with Texas.

But instead of the 40-homer lefty slugger they thought they were getting, Gallo was a mess in The Bronx. He finished with a .159 average over 140 games and 501 plate appearances, along with 25 homers, 77 walks, 194 strikeouts and a .660 OPS.

As bad as he might have felt on the field, in the dugout or the locker room, he musta felt lower than snail snot on that plane ride to L.A. Juss' sayin'...

Back when entertaining the eye was at least as important as functionality.

This is a picture of the sun setting. 

 

Why does it look so different? It's the sun setting - on Mars. 

Even 25 years ago this would have seemed impossible. THIS is what we're capable of when we dream  big enough and apply ourselves steadfastly enough. Thank you NASA for allowing me to see that.

If you are thinking of getting something a little 'special'

Do I really have to comment on this? I thought THE HILL was a moderately respectable online new source. You have to read this article to get the full gist:

A California-based organisation wants to harness the power of machine learning to decode communication across the entire animal kingdom. But the project has its doubters.

 Earth Species Project (ESP), is a California non-profit group with a bold ambition: to decode non-human communication using a form of artificial intelligence (AI) called machine learning, and make all the knowhow publicly available, thereby deepening our connection with other living species and helping to protect them. A 1970 album of whale song galvanised the movement that led to commercial whaling being banned. What could a Google Translate for the animal kingdom spawn?

The organisation, founded in 2017 with the help of major donors such as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, published its first scientific paper last December. The goal is to unlock communication within our lifetimes. “The end we are working towards is, can we decode animal communication, discover non-human language,” says Raskin. “Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and conservation now.” 

Wow - but honestly - do we really want to hear what they have to say? Think about what Shrek had to go through...

Another one of the waterfront/on a lake bars near where 

I live. A little more touristy than I like, but 

the joint's always mobbed, so go figure...

Interesting that there's not a single place west of the Mississippi, huh? 

And trust me, it may be cheap but you don't wanna live in Port St. Lucie. 

Just trust me on that, okay?
