@RonFilipkowski Are you sure that's not the crowd at Happy Gilmore's first tournament?
English

These are the leaders of the tournament including the #1 player in the world on the green playing in the final round on Sunday at Trump’s golf course in Miami. I’ve seen bigger crowds at college tournaments and this is a PGA Tour signature event.

Yes, they actually did test nuclear detonations to spur natural gas release from shale. Not hydraulic fracking, but nuclear fracking. In Pennsylvania there was a serious plan to detonate a nuclear device underground near State College to create a natural gas storage ‘cave’. That didn’t happen in the end.

@JonSpaceman @jonnyrmitch Dylan's was surprisingly good. Old Bob was in a slump in the early 90s and Unplugged kinda sparked his resurgence.

@jonnyrmitch I enjoyed Bob Dylan’s, Paul McCartney’s and Eric Clapton’s.

@RyanLostinTX I'm my mother's live-in caretaker. She's got dementia and we both get food stamps. I'm frugal with them except for mom's Hershey's Chocolate Bars. If anyone has a problem with that they can fuck off. I don't give a damn.

The cool thing about a rotisserie chicken is you can make so much with it. Legs/wings are part of a meal. Breast can be used for another meal. Carcass can be used to make chicken stock for other meals. I’m absolutely for it being covered by SNAP. You’re an asshole if you’re not.

Rotisserie Chickens will soon be able to be purchased with SNAP funds. Thoughts?

@mistressseymour You got a horny king, Victoria's grandkids starting WWI, Nazi sympathizers and a melodramatic abdication.
I think they can find some drama there.

A prequel spinoff series to ‘THE CROWN’ is reportedly in development at Netflix.
The series will span from Queen Victoria’s death in 1901 to Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding in 1947.

@BeschlossDC Creepy, he looks like the cranky lady who cheats at bingo at mom's nursing home.

@TheMindScourge They have a lot to work with, Edward VII's love of the ladies, Victoria's grandkids starting WWI, Nazi sympathizers and a melodramatic abdication.

Prestige TV and film continues its escape into the past
Here “The Crown” will return by going further back in time, to the early 20th century
For the show itself this can only be a good thing, as the “The Crown” grew progressively less interesting the closer it got to the present day
The Telegraph@Telegraph
🎥 The Crown, which controversially charted the Royal family’s modern history in its latest season, will return for a “spin-off”, beginning with Queen Victoria’s death in 1901. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/3…

@CarlosFrum1970 @Kilvesfur @elwasson I believe it was settled in the landmark Cavaliers v. Roundheads decision.
English

@Kilvesfur @elwasson Nonsense. Parliament won the civil war hence the legal doctrine of parliamentary supremacy. Educate yourself.

@VeryBrexitProbs I remember fondly the beating that Jackson gave the British in New Orleans.

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why.
In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.”
It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac.
American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland.
The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard.
A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital.
You can see why it doesn’t come up much.
