@ChrisDuel I agree. I hope it’s blown out of proportion. Also makes me think that the shenanigans in other markets may have been exaggerated . Still, no excuse for destroying our city, even if it’s just a few bad actors.

1) find car online 2) get an out the door quote that matches the advertised price, no add ons or extras included 3) fill out an application online 4) set an appointment to sign paperwork 5) in and out in less than 1 hour This would be best for shoppers who already know what they want

@MarkDavis That’s cheese flavored pudding sir, and its delicious.

Because nothing says “gourmet” like liquid cheese in a can.

@MikeTaylorShow It was odd

Mendoza family scene very scripted and awkward. Actually kind of weird. I think he’s the next Kerry Collins.

@AprilAncira You should put it in a pot at your house and water it until it spreads and takes over the entire pot.

@SanAntonioZoo @elonmusk so this is April fools, but is it possible?

San Antonio Zoo Announces Return of Elephants, and MORE! San Antonio Zoo is excited to announce the return of elephants to the west side of Highway 281. In March 2023, the zoo closed the historic elephant habitat and shared that elephants would return in the future. That space was reimagined to expand Naylor Savanna with more room, a new state-of-the-art giraffe barn, and Spekboom Lodge. Since then, the zoo has continued work on future phases and expansion. “We are excited for the future of elephants returning to San Antonio Zoo,” said Tim Morrow, President & CEO. “We have been working through the zoo’s master plan for 10 years, and with the completion of The Ralston and Congo Falls, we now look west of 281 for our next expansion.” In a first-ever effort tied to the new habitat, the zoo is collaborating with design firms, Tesla, and industrial engineers to incorporate the “Alamo Loop.” First announced in 2021, the Loop would allow autonomous Teslas to travel along 281 from San Antonio Airport to Hemisfair Park, now rebranded as the “Alamo Elephant Loop.” San Antonio Zoo sits between these stops, and riders will have the opportunity to view elephants underwater as Teslas pass beneath zoo grounds. This tunnel system would transport passengers in fast, self-driving vehicles, easing traffic on 281 while offering a one-of-a-kind underwater elephant view. Inspired by Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel, the zoo, Elon Musk, and engineers are designing the first-ever underwater vehicle tunnel viewing of elephants. Completion is anticipated by 4/1/2030. The zoo will care for Asian elephants, listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986. Wild populations have declined at least 50% in 75 years due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching, with only 41,000–52,000 remaining. San Antonio Zoo supports conservation through the International Elephant Foundation. Zoo grounds were split when U.S. 281 was built (1969–1978), but access was preserved for future expansion. This area is now shown as “San Antonio Safari & Adventure Park.” “Beyond the return of Asian elephants, more announcements are coming regarding expansions and improvements,” said Morrow.

@girdley Love this, now tell me why Popeyes stopped selling the chicken sandwich for several months? Pretty sure it was a little smaller when they re-introduced it….

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Wendy's In February 2026, activist investor Nelson Peltz, who had been involved with Wendy’s and its board for more than 17 years, filed a form with the SEC stating that the company’s stock was undervalued and that they were exploring strategic options. In other words, something big might be coming for Wendy’s. The context is that the burger chain is struggling. Wendy’s has gone through seven CEOs in just 24 years. Same store sales are down 11 percent, the company is closing 300 locations, and the stock is sitting at an all time low. For many of us who grew up with Wendy’s, it’s hard to believe. The square burgers, the Frosties, the brand that once felt iconic now seems like a mess. So how did it get here? The story is more complicated than it looks. This is the rise and fall of Wendy’s.

@MarkDavis I hope he finds peace

Lord, have mercy.

I would think you can find some aftermarket universal parts to repair it. Take the parts with you to Lowe’s to match them up or slightly modify the grill to accept the repair parts. I would be willing to bet the parts for a newer kitchen aid grill might fit as well. Good luck. Kitchen Aid is a solid product.

Any grill insert experts here? Need to replace this. But really don’t need anything fancy. Burgers. Dogs. Steaks. Just get and stay hot.

@curiosityonx @grok is this true. Elaborate, tell me how to do this for my wife

@LaurenGruel Subtitles would have been appropriate. It looked good.

I’m not sure how I feel about this halftime show. 🫠

@bertkreischer how many likes do we need to get for Bert to ice skate in the Olympics?

@girdley Wait…..Alamo Fireworks?? 🔥

@girdley Where can I get this?

@RGIII Love thy neighbor

Dear America, This is not the world we dreamed of for our kids. How do we fix it?

@mtracey Hypocrisy on both sides, hopefully cooler minds prevail.

Armed right-wing protesters entered the Michigan State Capitol in April 2020 to protest COVID lockdowns. Some aggressively confronted police. And it was lawful protest activity -- despite the cries of many liberals at the time that these people be treated as "terrorists"

@ChefGruel I’m trying to recreate a dish called Shrimp Diablo. It’s basically shrimp covered in a spicy tomato based sauce with Monterrey Jack cheese melted on top. Served with dirty rice and chives of course. Pretty sure it has some adobo pepper sauce in it. Can you help me out with the rest?

@OwenGregorian This is a huge scam. Good intentions, but easily taken advantage of. This program runs the cost of services way up. I’ve seen it many times.

Hegseth 'Taking A Sledgehammer' To Costly DEI Program You've Likely Never Heard Of | Mariane Angela, The Daily Caller News Foundation Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Friday the Pentagon is launching a sweeping crackdown on a little-known federal contracting program he said has become a breeding ground for waste, fraud, and race-based preferences. Hegseth took to social media to announce a sweeping overhaul of the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program, saying that the initiative has drifted from its original purpose and now siphons defense funds into what he described as corrupt diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) schemes. He said the move follows through on promises he made after President Donald Trump appointed him to lead the Department of War, including redirecting taxpayer funds toward building a more lethal military. “When President Trump appointed me as your Secretary of War, I made you a series of promises. I promised that every single one of your taxpayer dollars would go toward one thing, and one thing only. Building the most lethal fighting force on the planet,” Hegseth said. “And I promised we would gut the corruptive, unconstitutional, non-merit based DEI programs that have weakened our military and distracted us from our primary mission.” Hegseth identified the 8(a) program as a prime target, describing it as the oldest DEI program in the federal government and one largely unknown outside Washington. “We’re actually taking a sledgehammer to the oldest DEI program in the federal government. A program few people outside of Washington have ever heard of that I hadn’t heard of. It’s called the 8A program… 8A refers to the Small Business Administration’s program to assist, quote, small disadvantaged businesses owned by a socially disadvantaged individual or tribe. Providing these small businesses with opportunities is a laudable goal, but over the decades, as it happens, the 8A program has morphed into swamp code words for DEI race-based contracting.” Hegseth said. “In many, many instances, these socially disadvantaged businesses, they don’t even do work. They take a 10%, 20%, sometimes 50% fee off the top and then pass the contract off to a giant consulting firm, commonly known as Beltway Bandits.” Hegseth said the Pentagon alone sends out enormous sole-source contracts through the program with little oversight or competition. “In the Pentagon, $100 million sole source contracts go out our door to these 8A firms almost every day, without any competition or opportunity for anyone else to bid,” Hegseth said. “So, effective immediately, I’m ordering a line-by-line review of every small business sole source 8A contract that is over $20 million, and we’ll look at everything smaller than that, too.” Hegseth said the review will follow a simple test, whether a contract makes the military more lethal. “First, if a contract doesn’t make us more lethal, it’s gone. We have no room in our budget for wasteful DEI contracts that don’t help us win wars, period. Full stop,” Hegseth said. “We’ll make sure that every small business getting a contract is the one actually doing the work, and not just some shell company funneling your money to a giant consulting firm.” On his first day of taking office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to dismantle DEI initiatives he described as extreme and costly, along with race-based decision-making. He followed it with another order aimed at ending what the administration calls unlawful discrimination tied to those policies and reestablishing merit-driven standards nationwide. The Department of War has reviewed and rolled back diversity-related initiatives throughout 2025 in response to Trump’s executive actions. Hegseth said in an April 18 social media post that DEI no longer operates within the Pentagon. The Trump administration spent 2025 dismantling diversity initiatives that expanded across government and corporate America under the previous administration. A series of executive actions from President Donald Trump has pressured agencies, schools, and companies to retreat from those policies, with analysts telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that many businesses now see DEI as a liability rather than an asset. dailycaller.com/2026/01/16/pet…
