My Home State just screwed the pooch on retiring there...

In 2025, Seniorly - a resource website for retirees, compiled data on all 50 states, looking at things like cost of living, access to healthcare, and overall recreational opportunities to come up with the best and worst places to retire. After reviewing all of the data, the company named New Jersey as the worst state to retire, calling it “one of the least affordable states in the country.” The report says that the tax rate is 10.75 percent for top earners. And while it’s hard to imagine that retirees can be “top earners” these days, those with substantial retirement savings and investments could qualify.
Not only that, but Seniorly also noted a few other factors at play, stating that overall, the state has poor access to arts and recreation opportunity for seniors who are likely looking to stay active by filling their day with engaging and community driven activities. The report also determined that New Jersey has a very unhealthy senior population, stating that 65 percent of the seniors living in the state have more than three chronic conditions.
In addition to New Jersey, Seniorly also called out several other states in its report, explaining that they also failed to meet some of the metrics that would matter most to seniors. The list of bottom dwellers includes Alabama, Kansas, Georgia and Oklahoma.

This is another one of those little barely-noticable trivia tidbits that you hear and almost let slip by until you realize just how fuckin' old you really are, because what took place so long ago seems like it was only just last month. Case in point - it’s officially been 60 years since the last episode of the original Addams Family television series aired. The dark, gothic-style TV show was inspired by a cartoon series that cartoonist Charles Addams started in 1938 for The New Yorker. The Addams Family premiered September 18, 1964, on ABC, and the creepy, kooky family entertained fans for two seasons and 64 episodes before its final episode - 'Ophelia's Career' - aired in 1966.

This is my house any time somebody's coming over - for any reason.
I'm sure you can relate on some level.

The Braves and Angels went from zero to 100 real quick last night. And it wasn’t exactly heavenly in Anaheim. The teams got into a chaotic benches-clearing brawl during Atlanta’s 7-2 win that even saw Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler and Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez throw punches at each other.
With two outs in the bottom of the fifth, Soler took a pitch up-and-in that went to the backstop, which allowed Nolan Schanuel to go from first to second base.
But things only escalated from there. Soler appeared to take exception to the pitch and stared down Lopez as he got a new ball for the next pitch. The starter held out both of his arms, seemingly in disbelief at the reaction. But before long, Soler dropped his bat, charged the mound and the two both threw punches as the dugouts emptied.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but I bought one of these last month 'cause it's gonna be my new forever carry-on when we fly anywhere. You can jam just a boatload of stuff in to it - so much more than a typical small carry-on suitcase, and it's the same size. Take a look at it and see if it won't work for you, too.

Iran’s battered navy has reportedly warned foreign ships on Wednesday that they will be “destroyed” if they attempt to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission from Tehran.

“You must receive permission from Iranian Sepah navy for passing through the strait. If any vessel tries to transit without permission, will be destroyed,” an Iranian official was heard saying in audio shared with the Wall Street Journal by a crew member.

Yeah - what's the problem? It's about time we had a 
guy in charge of shit who talks like we talk, ain't it?

It gives new meaning to the phrase “sweet cheeks.” It’s certainly no fun to have hemorrhoids, swollen veins that grow in or around your asshole and cause pain, itching and bleeding - so it’s not terribly surprising that people might be desperate to find a quick way to banish the uncomfortable bulge. Just a heads-up - it doesn't do anything but waste time and sugar. Of course the trend started on TikTok. Because people are fuckin' idiots.

Yeah - that'll never happen to me. Who the fuck is crazy enough to get in to a taxi with no driver? There's a great scene from the show 'Tulsa King' where Sly Stalone gets in to an Uber and closes the door before he realizes there's no driver, and he freaks the fuck out, finally shooting the computer display beofre he's finally able to get out. If you've seen it, you know that'd be me...
