The first true Jelly Bean car. Changed car design. I remember in the mid to late 80s they had the first car with real rounded edges. Then they had the Taurus SHO. Then early or mid 90s they did the super rounded version that looked really bad.
something about the art of the Tarot cards is intensely appealing to me.
while i dont necessarily think that the reader has some mystic capabilities, the readings are interesting like a therapy session would be. you talk about stuff and see things in a different light.
my geographic knowledge could definitely be better. i will say that drawing maps at all sorts of scales is mandatory education in our house on weekends.

There’s an old sketch from The State called “The Barry Lutz Show” where a doctor played by Thomas Lennon explains his research in the field of “monkey torture,” accompanied by an adorable simian. He eventually takes a phone call that purportedly tells him he has to stop torturing monkeys forever and let them all go, only to reveal it was just his friend Terry making a prank call — an even more sophisticated bit of monkey torture.
The first two games this season between the teams with the two best records in the National League West have been close, hard-fought battles going down to the wire. After not scoring in the series opener, the Dodgers found just enough offense on Tuesday and capitalized on an absolute gift from the most dominant closer in baseball to beat the San Diego Padres 5-4 at Petco Park.
Today’s Giro stage being shown on TruTv. It’s not the same as having Phil Ligget and Bob Roll announcing. When I looked at the standings yesterday the only name I recognized was Vingegaard.
I didn’t see it in real time, but on the highlights it’s kind of weird how the two outfielders look at each other while the ball bounces away into centerfield.
CHARLOTTE— The 13th-seeded California baseball team fell in the first round of the 2026 ACC Championship to 12th-seeded Stanford 11-4 Tuesday at Truist Field in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Golden Bears (29-26, 12-18 ACC) saw their 2026 season come to an end, but not before they went above and beyond the expectations that many had for this young ball club. For a team with 28 newcomers, 18 freshmen, and a handful of tough injuries that saw some of its top performers miss meaningful time to start with a 1-11 ACC record and finish 11-7 in one of the top two conferences in the sport shows the fight and resilience that these Bears had all year.
The California women's rowing team has earned an NCAA Rowing Championship berth as one of the 12 at-large selections, announced Tuesday afternoon by the NCAA. This marks the Golden Bears' 26th consecutive appearance at the NCAA Championship, which is set for May 29-31 at Lake Lanier Olympic Park in Gainesville, Georgia.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - California men's golf found itself in ninth place Tuesday after Round 2 of the NCAA Columbus Regionalas the Golden Bears shot a 16-over par after shooting 12-over par Monday. Sophomore Ziqin Zhou led Cal with a 1-over 72 in the second round, ending the day in a tie for 20th place with his teammate Daniel Heo. After an opening-round even par 71, Heo shot 5-over par Tuesday.
Last Colbert late night shows this week. For the past several days, many celebs have been coming on to say goodbye.
I still need to finish the Monday worst of show. The Strike Force 5 episode last week was really good. And then he got to make out with his guests
It’s Raining Fish was much better than I expected.
Gemini
TIL the Isuzu Gemini was started in the 70s based on a GM platform. Ended in the 90s being based on a Honda.
Taurus
The first true Jelly Bean car. Changed car design. I remember in the mid to late 80s they had the first car with real rounded edges. Then they had the Taurus SHO. Then early or mid 90s they did the super rounded version that looked really bad.
Super rounded is great for aerodynamics, but then there is the resemblance to a piece of poop.
on the other end of the spectrum is the Cybertruck, a giant box driving down the street. maybe that is the future direction of car shapes.
It looks like they left a DeLorean in the dryer for too long.
I love the efficiency of a Cybertruck, in that there's no quicker way for someone to tell the world they're a giant douche than to be in a Cybertruck.

Not great. I didn't realize it didn't have to be in order. And order of countries for me is weak.

it doesnt have to be in the exact step-by-step order as long as you get the countries along the shortest path (i think)
Originally I was trying to guess countries in order and then realized that I wasn't sure exactly where each of the countries are geographically.
I think this is my first perfect game. The last two were toss-ups and I guessed right

I think I've done 3456 once or twice.
You need to be pretty lucky that the last couple of words don't have so many letters that are different.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers says he plans to retire after season
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48827851/steelers-aaron-rodgers-says-plans-retire-season
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Wednesday that the 2026 season will be the last of his Hall of Fame-worthy career.
"Yes. This is it," Rodgers said when asked at a news conference in Pittsburgh whether this would be his final NFL season.
Probably 3 years too late
Many great athletes have the same arc at the end, although not necessarily overstaying by 3 years.
