Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy had his defamation case dismissed, which is why I can say that he is a sexual abuser of women. And I will continue to go to original sources rather than use Barstool Sports publications.
Watched the 3rd episode of Magpie Murders, interesting construction of a murder mystery show; chosen by my wife and daughter - I'm enjoying it. Started Welcome to Wrexham, interesting show.
The one that blew my mind was Pam & Tommy (1st so far) since I didn't really pay any attention to the reality when it occurred. Looks very well acted.
Finally got around to watching Stranger Things 4 last night. My wife and I made the mistake of allowing our 13 year old daughter to watch the series before we had the chance to watch S4. Based on the first 3 seasons, it seemed appropriate for her age. Of course she binged through the first 3 seasons, then stopped watching after episode 1 of S4 because it was so frightening. After watching episode one of S4 last night, I now see why she was so frightened. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the show has definitely moved from supernatural suspense to almost horror with much more graphic depictions of blood and carnage.
I loved season 4 and those deaths. Took me back to my childhood and watching Nightmare on Elm Street. Those deaths and the way they died were so spot on for 80s horror.
Somewhat spoilers, but that particular style of death will be reused, though imo with somewhat diminished CGI. I certainly found it shocking in the first episode and more grim than horrifying in later ones.
Saw the The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Ferrell and Brendan Gleason on Sunday. Highly recommended. Good movies have started hitting the theaters. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11813216/
Rize Up (a newish, excellent, black owned bakery in the Bay) is making a cranberry/orange/grand marnier sourdough for the holidays. I'm thinking it has bread pudding written all over it.
Their OG Sourdough is the best sourdough I have tasted. It has replaced all others in my home. Available online and at farmers markets around the Bay!
cranberry molasses. I made a batch the other day as a sweet/sour sauce. It was an experiment to riff off of Persian pomegranate molasses because cranberry juice is cheaper/more available compared to pomegranate juice. I think that Americans use a very narrow range of acids and there are really interesting flavors to explore.
oh where are they? I may have to check them out. I don't like the super sweet fluffy ones with sprinkled sugar on top. Those seem more like desserts than breakfast scones.
Products. I remember going to the one in Pleasant Hill with my dad. They had a showroom with all the products but you ordered from a kiosk, I think, and the product would come down on the conveyor belt from the 2nd floor and you picked it up and paid.
Similar to Consumer Distribution where they had a small showroom with a catalog and you ordered and it came from the back.
I have known the Best Man in my wedding since 1982. When we were done with school, we'd hit up Jack in the Box or some other fast food joint. I changed my eating habits after graduating from high school. He did not. He died at the age of 40 of a heart attack.
Hattie B's in Nashville was so good. I'm going to have to try that again next time I'm there.
In Louisville there were two places when we moved out. One was Royals that did chicken tenders and theirs was really good. The other was pieces and a sandwich and was good but I liked Royals better.
Any good recs for LA, particularly east side or downtown? I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Dave's Hot Chicken and the local spot Chick Next Door is way too expensive for what you get
Gus's Fried Chicken (had it in Memphis after the Ole Miss game) and World Famous Hotboyz chicken. Both are in Oakland near where San Pablo hits Broadway. I guess both technically are chains with World Famous Hotboyz being a small local one. I haven't had the Gus's here so I don't know if it's as good as the one in Memphis.
The spice level at World Famous Hot Boyz is rated 1-5, with 1 being mild and 5 will destroy your mouth and blow out your asshole. Don’t be brave, stick with the 1-3 range.
I've had the Medium (assume 3) and the Hot (assume 4). The Medium is very good and the Hot is hot. I think I finished about 3/4 of the sando before I called it quits. I probably could've finished the whole thing if I didn't have to sit through a 3 hour baseball game afterwards.
Willie Mae's in Nola is the best I've had. My mom's is probably my second favorite, but it's hard for me to get her to make it these days. Ceasar's Chicken (Hayward), Minnie Bell's (Emeryville Public Market) and Aburaya (karage style) are my go-to's locally.
Things also not looking good for Sarah Palin. The D leads by 21% but doesn't look like she's going to get to 50%. Alaska uses ranked choice and Palin and the mainstream R have pretty much split the rest of the vote. There's a good chance that votes from the mainstream R will put the D over 50% when they finally break it down. It's going to take awhile to find out.
Yeah, Peltola is already above 47% so she doesn't need many votes from Begich (assuming he stays third) supporters. From talking to my relatives up there the anti-Sarah sentiment is pretty strong though she does still have her supporters.
TN ban slavery in the state. I'm not sure what disappoints me more, that it took this long to close the Constitutional loophole or that more than 20% of voters voted to retain slavery
The issue with the Oregon measure is slavery and the ability to require prisoners to work somehow got bundled. Probably originally as a means to try to keep the legality of slavery. Entangled legal wording creates some messy knots to untie.
The measure struck the sentence from the state constitution that allowed slavery as a punishment for a crime. It struck out everything from "otherwise" on below. That is essentially the same thing all of these states were voting on. There was nothing in the Oregon statute preventing the state from paying prisoners for their labor.
ext of Section 34:
Slavery or Involuntary Servitude
(1.)There shall be neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude in this state, otherwise than as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.
Wow Warnock pulled back ahead. At the gym I had seen Warnock up with only like 15% reporting, then by the time I left, Walker was ahead with like 40% reporting. I purposely didn't follow any of the coverage.
Yeah I'd say Warnock should be narrowly favored to win in the runoff. Kemp will not be on the ballot and the GOP base likely demoralized.
Even better chance if Kelly and Cortez-Masto can pull out their races and control of the Senate is not on the line anymore. There should be another late "blue shift" in NV as the remaining ballots are mail and mostly in the big urban counties. AZ is different; the late vote shifts redder. But Kelly still has a decent lead.
I find it incredibly depressing that someone like Walker can get even a third of the vote in any state in the union. Then again Trump got over 70 million in 2020 so why should I be surprised.
Candidate integrity means less when the candidate is simply a means to an end. That is exactly what Trump promised, and with three SCOTUS picks and overturning of Roe, what Trump provided. Voters who might have placed candidate integrity high on the list now plug their nose and go for the person that will deliver, regardless of how morally repugnant the candidate is.
Brett Favre also implicated in scheme that funneled $2m of MS welfare funds to Favre's pocket so that he could invest in an ineffective nasal spray and [checks notes]... a cream for concussions.
Georgetown won their first game in 21 tries last night, which means there is another sub-level of hell to be mined for Cal MBB. Georgetown also looks better than us, so . . .
MACtion! Toledo (OH) beats Ball State 28-21. Ball State's Head Coach is Michael "Mike" David Neu. Cal baseball's head coach is Michael "Mike" David Neu, who got his Masters in PE at Ball State.
They two should play each other in a neutral competition - the winner remains Mike Neu and the loser has to change his name. Perhaps "Better than Mike Neu"?
Yes, but it was my lame attempt at making an obscure reference.
There are unproven stories behind the naming of the band "Better than Ezra". One of the stories was that there were two bands called Ezra playing in Louisiana in the 90s and they had a battle-of-the-bands contest to see who would keep the name. One band lost and they changed it to "Better than Ezra". Another version of the naming origin is that the then-unnamed band came to a battle-of-the-bands contest, where they saw a band called Ezra had entered.
How has the day been for the native virtual currency of FTX Exchange - the sponsor of Cal's field doing? Well, it's lost about three-quarter of value over the past 24 hours.
Some background info. The buyer for FTX backed out. FTX is now apparently insolvent and will dissolve barring a miracle. FTT seems doomed and this dude may lose everything.
I'm not sure what the cover picture has to do with Fried Chicken.
It's a pic of fried chicken 🍗 dark meat and white meat
Sort of an optical illusion. At first I thought it was chicken, then I thought they were puppies. Now I am looking again thinking it might be chicken.
Zoom in. They are brown haired puppies with fur that is the same color as fried batter.
Chicken isn't shaped like that. It certainly looks like puppies. And they are in a pet store display cage.

Watched the 3rd episode of Magpie Murders, interesting construction of a murder mystery show; chosen by my wife and daughter - I'm enjoying it. Started Welcome to Wrexham, interesting show.
The one that blew my mind was Pam & Tommy (1st so far) since I didn't really pay any attention to the reality when it occurred. Looks very well acted.
Finally got around to watching Stranger Things 4 last night. My wife and I made the mistake of allowing our 13 year old daughter to watch the series before we had the chance to watch S4. Based on the first 3 seasons, it seemed appropriate for her age. Of course she binged through the first 3 seasons, then stopped watching after episode 1 of S4 because it was so frightening. After watching episode one of S4 last night, I now see why she was so frightened. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the show has definitely moved from supernatural suspense to almost horror with much more graphic depictions of blood and carnage.
I may have to watch…I resisted because S3 was so f-ing lame…
I agree 4 is better than 3. Although I didn't think 3 was as bad as everyone else. I'd say watch 4.
I loved season 4 and those deaths. Took me back to my childhood and watching Nightmare on Elm Street. Those deaths and the way they died were so spot on for 80s horror.
Agreed. I thoroughly enjoyed episode one and look forward to the rest.
Somewhat spoilers, but that particular style of death will be reused, though imo with somewhat diminished CGI. I certainly found it shocking in the first episode and more grim than horrifying in later ones.
Raymond and Ray (2022 AppleTV movie - Ewan Macgregor & Ethan Hawke).

Cranberry Sauce aka pilgrim chutney.

I like the blueberry scones from Sconehenge in Berkeley.
oh where are they? I may have to check them out. I don't like the super sweet fluffy ones with sprinkled sugar on top. Those seem more like desserts than breakfast scones.

Locally Hopscotch on San Pablo in Oakland is awesome.
Oh this is a good recommendation.
Mama Dip's Kitchen in Chapel Hill was an eye opening experience, for someone who had only really had fast food friend chicken before. (Me, that is)
Popeye's and Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I need to find a good non-chain place.
Gus's Fried Chicken (had it in Memphis after the Ole Miss game) and World Famous Hotboyz chicken. Both are in Oakland near where San Pablo hits Broadway. I guess both technically are chains with World Famous Hotboyz being a small local one. I haven't had the Gus's here so I don't know if it's as good as the one in Memphis.
Hadn't heard of either. I've been waiting for a hot chicken spot. Felt inevitable and necessary!
The spice level at World Famous Hot Boyz is rated 1-5, with 1 being mild and 5 will destroy your mouth and blow out your asshole. Don’t be brave, stick with the 1-3 range.
Yeah, I like some heat, but I'm a grown ass man and have learned over the years that just a little goes a longer way.
I've had the Medium (assume 3) and the Hot (assume 4). The Medium is very good and the Hot is hot. I think I finished about 3/4 of the sando before I called it quits. I probably could've finished the whole thing if I didn't have to sit through a 3 hour baseball game afterwards.
I'd highly recommend World Famous Hotboyz if you want Nashville hot chicken. They also have a location in WC and Sac.
My friend in Sac wants me to go up and try Nash and Proper.
Oh I guess it's World Famous Hotboys. Just be careful when googling.

Yeah, take a look at Oregon...
The issue with the Oregon measure is slavery and the ability to require prisoners to work somehow got bundled. Probably originally as a means to try to keep the legality of slavery. Entangled legal wording creates some messy knots to untie.

DEMs outperform expectations, but balance of House and Senate undecided at this point.
Right now, a 50-50 Senate looks likely
https://abcnews.go.com/Elections/2022-us-senate-election-results-live-map
Democrats and Republicans each have 48 seats, with 4 races remaining to decide the Senate:
GA: Warnock (D) leads Walker (R) by about 19k votes (96% of expected votes have been counted)
AZ: Kelly (D) leads Masters (R) by 107k votes (only 68% reporting)
NV: Laxalt (R) leads Cortez-Mastro (D) by 23k votes (only 80% reporting)
WI: Johnson (R) leads Barnes (D) by 32k votes (94% reporting)
I am still holding out hope that we gain both Georgia and Nevada to have a 51-49 senate majority.
Wow Warnock pulled back ahead. At the gym I had seen Warnock up with only like 15% reporting, then by the time I left, Walker was ahead with like 40% reporting. I purposely didn't follow any of the coverage.
Yeah I'd say Warnock should be narrowly favored to win in the runoff. Kemp will not be on the ballot and the GOP base likely demoralized.
Even better chance if Kelly and Cortez-Masto can pull out their races and control of the Senate is not on the line anymore. There should be another late "blue shift" in NV as the remaining ballots are mail and mostly in the big urban counties. AZ is different; the late vote shifts redder. But Kelly still has a decent lead.
I find it incredibly depressing that someone like Walker can get even a third of the vote in any state in the union. Then again Trump got over 70 million in 2020 so why should I be surprised.
Walker getting that many votes and Warnock not easily winning is depressing.
Hopefully Warnock wins in the runoff.
It really shows the current state of affairs with the whole vote for anyone with an R by their name just to "own the libs"
Candidate integrity means less when the candidate is simply a means to an end. That is exactly what Trump promised, and with three SCOTUS picks and overturning of Roe, what Trump provided.

And to think I almost invested in crypto ETFs a few months back. But I didn't. The slide in tech stocks has been bad enough.
Never hesitate to jump into pyramid schemes! What could go wrong?
So every major OOC opponent bottoms out when we play them and our field sponsors suffer financial setbacks within a couple years.
Cal is the grim reaper of college football.
The founder - the child of two Stanfurd professors - has lost nearly 90% of his $10.5b net worth overnight.

Wasn't FTX white knight also in the crypto-sphere? I think that company got spooked and realized that karma is coming for them, too.
Yes, it was Binance.
