My start word is SAINT.

@OnlineHyde OMG. I need to go to ATL for this.

One of my favorite days of the year: Atlanta Home Tiki Bar Tour. Predrink as we board the bus. I don’t always drink before 10:30, but when I do it’s in a tiki tour.

@minakimes @Jeopardy

….well that happened @Jeopardy

@SecDuffy Your boss was the one who spiked fuel prices and doomed them, but go on.

Nice job, Pete.

@AliciaStella Disney Ultra.

Disney++++

@jmay11 Seriously! Not saying it’ll be easy, but eerily similar situation. Clearly great for him to be re employed.

Happy for CTJ.

@ArmandoVa @OnlineHyde

@OnlineHyde USS is a half day. HKDL can be done comfortabley in a day, although if you have 2 days to spare there are a lot of experiences to do

Kicking around random ideas. How long is needed at Universal Singapore? How about Hong Kong Disneyland?

provided a very reasonable solution to tanking on my substack btw

@ScottGustin It’s so… interesting. Been a couple years, but I’ll be interested in hearing your take.

First time visiting Disneyland Paris. This weekend will be an Adventure.

@OnlineHyde Which ship? I’ve found NCL very mid. Like it all looks good, but nothing about the food is more than meh. Entertainment was actually disappointing which is saying a lot. All the inclusions (drinks, Internet, etc) are nice but it’s definitely you get what you pay for.

I’ve only been on NCL a few times (this time it’s a charted event so we didn’t pick the ship). Every time I’m reminded how awful the food is. I’m not expecting greatness from cruise food. But as example Carnival with tacos and Guy’s is two very solid options.

@OnlineHyde It’s weirdly under the radar for a lot of folks… I guess the lack of superlatives? But 110% agree.

When Thunderhead is running good (this is one of those good years) it is a top five coaster for me. Love everything about it. I’d go as far as calling it a perfect coaster - awesome layout, great airtime, pacing, to even the super comfortable leather trains.

Starting to worry about the dreaded “A” word when it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies… Apathy.

@HPbasketball Gotta love a 2 x 2 graphic.

How much are turnovers killing you? Turnover percentage vs. points per turnover allowed (per 100 possessions). Turnovers are bad. Turnovers that lead to points are killer. The bottom right is basically "Yeah, you're sloppy but it's not killing you." The top left is "You don't make mistakes but when you do it's catastrophic."

@sb21312 @Bubblebathgirl @atrupar Yeah it may be apples to apples, but it’s red delicious to cosmic crisp. No items cost less, they just enshittified the basket. perplexity.ai/search/72eed04…

@Bubblebathgirl @atrupar His 25% Thanksgiving cost reduction? 19 items vs. 25 last year, more Walmart in-house products than last year.

Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

@Bubblebathgirl @atrupar In the now famous Walmart Thanksgiving basket, NO ITEMS cost less than last year and most cost more. The $55 basket would now cost $58-65.

@atrupar Prices are down on most things. That’s the truth. Democrats cherry-picking are just embarrassing themselves.

@The_CoupSlayer_ @JoJoFromJerz Yeah, Walmart is not comparing apples to apples. Of the original 2024 basket, shockingly, nothing costs less today. perplexity.ai/search/72eed04… The $55 2024 basket is estimated to cost $58-65 today. And again NO ITEMS in it cost less than last year.

Per Grok: Walmart's official 2025 Thanksgiving Meal Basket, which serves 10 people, is priced at $39.93—explicitly described by the company as about 25% cheaper than their 2024 basket, which cost around $55 and served 8 people. This represents a $15.07 reduction, aligning precisely with a 25% drop from the prior year's total. However, this comparison isn't entirely apples-to-apples due to changes in the bundle: 2024 Basket: 21 items (some sources cite up to 29), including more name-brand products like Hawaiian rolls, cranberry sauce, premade pie, onions, celery, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, and muffin mix. 2025 Basket: 15 items, with substitutions like Great Value store brands for several components, fewer sides, and no premade desserts or certain veggies. It emphasizes "generous portions" but omits items that added variety and cost last year.

Imagine posting this while letting 42 million Americans starve.

@ScottGustin That’s pretty amazing

epic tease

@Jothameth1 @elonmusk

@elonmusk So basically we’re letting AI decide how much sunlight humans get now? What could possibly go wrong 😂

A large solar-powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth

@krismeetsworld Stock market != economy

@SenBrentTaylor @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @GovBillLee Brent, I assume you and your family and your suburban constituents will be flocking downtown during the Guards deployment? Make sure to vote with your feet and wallet.

I stand firmly in support of the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis. This decisive action by President Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS and @GovBillLee is a necessary and welcome step to address the persistent challenges of violent crime that have plagued our Bluff City for far too long. My efforts to #MakeMemphisMatter are paying off, and I’m glad our city is getting the help it needs so law-abiding citizens feel safe to enjoy our parks, restaurants, and businesses. Memphis must have a safe environment where families can thrive, businesses can flourish, and communities can unite without the shadow of fear. The National Guard's presence will provide critical support to our dedicated law enforcement officers, bolstering their efforts to restore order and drive down crime rates that have reached unacceptable levels. We have seen measurable progress in recent months because of @MarshaBlackburn’s persistent efforts to get federal resources like the FBI here, but we cannot afford to rest on our laurels. The Guard's expertise in community support has proven effective in DC facing similar crises, and it will help accelerate the positive momentum from FBI efforts already underway in Memphis. I must, however, strongly oppose the recent remarks by Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, who has characterized this deployment as a "military occupation" and expressed unfounded fears that it threatens our democracy and freedoms. Such rhetoric is not only alarmist but divisive, sowing unnecessary doubt among our citizens at a time when unity is essential. Mayor Harris's calls to "reconsider" and his warnings of armored vehicles and semi-automatic weapons patrolling our streets paint a picture of oppression rather than partnership. This is not an invasion; it is an investment in public safety. The National Guard is composed of everyday Tennesseans, our neighbors, friends, and fellow patriots, who serve with honor to protect, not intimidate. To suggest otherwise undermines the very institutions that keep us secure and disrespects the brave men and women ready to answer the call. Instead of rejecting this support, I urge Mayor Harris and local leaders to collaborate fully with state and federal partners. Send us the resources, yes—but let us also embrace every tool available to make Memphis safer. Our freedoms are preserved through strong communities, not by turning away help when it's needed most. Together, with the National Guard's assistance, we will build a brighter, safer future for Memphis and all of Tennessee. In other words, we will Make Memphis Matter. Our state cannot be successful if its most famous city is sliding into chaos.

@rajuvamsi007 @SawyerMerritt @zoox Well, Boring Tunnel only goes to the convention center, so it doesn’t compare. At all.

@SawyerMerritt @zoox What's the time difference between this an the Boring tunnel?

NEWS: Amazon owned @Zoox has just launched a limited Las Vegas commercial robotaxi service following years of testing in the city. Riders are allowed to go to five locations free of charge, including Resorts World, Topgolf, New York-New York, Luxor & Area 15. The geofence area is below. Rides can be ordered through Zoox’s app, where riders can choose to be picked up and dropped off at one of the five active locations. Rides are open to the general public to ride for free via the Zoox app. Zoox currently has a fleet of “a few dozen” robotaxis on the road, with more to be added as the company increases its station lineup.
