An assassination plot, not an attempt. The guy turned himself in before he tried anything.

The case stems from Jan. 27, 2025, when the U.S. Senate was scheduled to vote on Bessent’s nomination.

At about 3 p.m. that day, English approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer near the building’s south entrance and said he wanted to turn himself in, according to the criminal complaint. He allegedly told officers he had come to Washington, D.C., to kill Bessent.

OK, here's one. Seems he took a shot as he ran through then dove to the ground when the secret service agent shot back. nypost.com/2026/04/27/u...

The next night, Allen attempted to get into the correspondents dinner through a security checkpoint a floor above the ballroom where the event was taking place, Blanche said.

“He ran through the magnetometer, holding a long gun. As he did so, US Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot,” Blanche said. “One Secret Service officer was shot in the chest, but was wearing a ballistic vest that worked.”

If anyone knows how to get rid of that stupid-ass Remix button from my phone, I will be eternally grateful to you for letting me know. This ridiculous Nano Banana AI is bullshit; stay out of my texts.

The picture is a graphic that shows the automated system's strike zone being applied to very tall Aaron Judge compared to relatively shorter Jose Altuve. Displayed over the bottom left corner is a stupid-ass button with a banana icon and "Remix" that could apply AI to the photo if I ever had any desire to do that; instead, it just covers up part of the photo.

Excerpt from Dune by Frank Hebert that really stuck with me.

Excerpt from Dune by Frank Hebert:
She had quoted a Bene Gesserit proverb to him: "When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong- faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late."

Jacobs: There's zero deals so far. Why is that? Trump: No, there’s many deals. ... J: Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them? T: I’ve made 200 deals. J: You’ve made 200 deals? T: 100%.

Grabbed this after he hit for the cycle. I kept this as my profile pic for a year. The Brock Star made watching the Red Sox fun.

Brock Holt is getting a bucket of water, maybe sports drink, poured over his head by a fellow player, I think JBJ. Brock is smiling.

He says that they're only going after gang members with face-tattoos. Meanwhile...

Data first obtained by NBC News shows that Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a total of 1,179 people on Sunday, which is more than the 956 arrests that the agency posted on X on Sunday night. But just 613 of those total arrests — nearly 52% — were considered “criminal arrests.” The rest appear to be nonviolent offenders or people who have not committed any criminal offense other than crossing the border illegally.

When breaking down those arrests, eight were considered “Worst Criminals Arrested,” including two gang members, according to the official.

Still, at least 566 people arrested Sunday had not committed any crimes and were only detained because they lacked legal authorization to remain in the United States.

They saved my favorite part to the end

Schwimmer was gracious, describing “Friends” as “the gift that keeps on giving.”

“When I meet people on the street from another country and they say, ‘I just have to say, I learned English watching your show,’ or a father stops me and says, ‘My kid was really, really ill and the one thing that kept them going in the hospital was watching “Friends,”’ you feel really grateful and blessed to have done something that people find fun,” he said.

I like how happy my Cajun seasoning is to spice up my vegetables.

Check out North Adams in western Mass. It has the art vibe, plus this is the view from my brother's house out there.

The last of the bulls is still at large.

The North Attleboro Fire Department reports that rodeo personnel are still actively searching for the remaining bull on the loose. No town assets or emergency personnel are involved in today's search efforts.

Community members should exercise extreme caution and not approach the bull if found. If found, community members should call 9-1-1.

Not completely true. It is a different Steve Martin who made the comment. Still a valid response to the ridiculous suggestion that geese are being carried away.

Here is an example of a screen shot that is commented on by many in my Bluesky community, but I cannot read the content.

I'd like to throw Tyler Labine's name into the ring. I first knew him as a character named Sock, and when I saw JD, I thought, yup, that's him, that's a Sock.

Please add alt text. Your posted screenshot looks like this on my phone.

Brutal.

A screen shot of a screen shot. The gray blurbs (aligned left) are from someone who wants to golf. The green blurbs (aligned right) is someone joking (we hope) about using one of their clubs for violence. Whatever is the point is lost on me because of all the zooming and screen-shifting I have to do to read it.

From MLB:

In consultation with Major League Baseball, the Red Sox on Monday issued an unpaid two-game suspension to outfielder Jarren Duran beginning with tonight's game against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park.

Additionally, Duran’s salary from the two-game suspension will be donated to PFLAG (Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), the United States’ largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people and those who love them.

An excerpt from the article with a quote from Jim Worthington highlighted: Unfortunately, the Democrats and the media tried to paint him as some kind of odd person. I mean, he's the all-American boy...

Yes! I read this aloud to my husband, and he pointed this out to me (house built in 1950).
