In case you have missed it, the best account on X (Twitter) right now is from a German guy visiting the US for the first time and planning to take in World Cup games. He keeps finding the best of America and the people of America keep embracing him.

He's covering more of America than many Americans and showing the world that there is more to America than New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

James Webb Space Telescope discovers "galaxy-killing" wind that may explain why some early galaxies lived fast and died young

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers may have uncovered new clues about a longstanding mystery in galaxy evolution: why so many massive galaxies in the early universe appear to have died far sooner than expected.
Using ALMA and JWST observations of a distant galaxy, researchers have detected a "galaxy-killing" wind - an enormous, high-speed outflow of gas - that is powerful enough to strip a galaxy of the raw material needed to make new stars. The discovery could help explain the puzzling population of massive "dead" galaxies found throughout the young cosmos, according to a statement from the Royal Astronomical Society.

Half-red, half-yellow chimera apple draws crowds at New Zealand store

Curious visitors are flocking to a New Zealand produce store to catch a glimpse of a rare chimera apple that is half red and half yellow.
The apple, with colors split almost perfectly down the middle, was found in a mid-May delivery of Red Braeburn apples at the Sunshine Corner Market in the Christchurch suburb of Mairehau.
Chimera apples, believed to occur in less than one in a million fruits, result from a genetic mutation that causes the apple to form from cells from two different genetic backgrounds.
The store's owner, Heather, said the apple has become something of a local celebrity.

New Zealand tourist attraction closed due to unsanctioned poop

A popular tourist attraction in a New Zealand town has been temporarily closed by officials after multiple incidents involving human feces.
The Masterton District Council said in a since-deleted Facebook post that the Fernery, a building that houses more than 60 varieties of fern at Queen Elizabeth Park in Masterton, had to be closed for cleaning Wednesday due to the presence of poop.
"This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable - and disrespectful to other park users. It is thankfully rare. There are excellent public toilets literally two minutes from the Fernery in Queen Elizabeth Park, and regularly-praised toilets a few minutes away in the [Central Business District]," the spokesperson told 1News.

Club ONT has regularly-praised toilets nearby, so please do not engage in unsanctioned pooping while in Club ONT.

18 I seem to recall a comic bit in Playboylong ago, supposedly written by a hipper Jimmy Olsen, in which he remarks that he's known Superman was disguising himself as Clark Kent all along. "I can see that red 'S' under those cheap thin shirts he wears. Who does he think he's fooling?"

Jimmy in the comics was no dullwit; he often solved mysteries and got himself out of trouble without having to call in Superman. I'd think a modern retelling would have him know that Clark is Superman, but he admires the Kryptonian (perhaps for saving Jimmy's life once) and his moral code, and swears to himself he will never let on that he knows.

32 Years ago I went to London to stay with some hashers and then go to the Woking beer festival (real ale FTW). It was also some international rugby tourny and the pub near the house I was staying at on the outskirts was destroyed by the losing team's fans. Anyways, on the way back from Woking, two Brits were talking about why Americans only speak English (those Americans) and the girl driving said that she had spent several months in the U.S. once and drove for days without needing to use any other language. (It's not like we have a lot of Scots.)

35 The Euro's experience in seeing America reminds me of the Cold War days when we'd get defectors who, after their complete debriefing, would venture out across America, and after awhile, would want to go home. They couldn't handle it. To many decisions they had to make each day.
What to wear.
Where to go.
What to eat.
Too many selections at the store.
It was really sad to see.

Indiana State Police took another opportunity to remind Hoosiers that any vehicles traveling below the speed limit in the left lane must move over to the right lane so other vehicles can pass.

ISP Sgt. Stephen Wheeles announced that he issued citations to a vehicle on Thursday for traveling below the speed limit in the left lane of I-65 southbound in Bartholomew County. Instead of moving over to the other lanes to allow other vehicles behind them to pass, Wheeles said the vehicle “remained in the left lane for miles.”

Wheeles noted that a small child and another passenger were unrestrained after the vehicle came to a stop. He subsequently issued citations following the incident.

“Reminder: You must at least travel the speed limit in the left lane of a multi-lane highway AND you must move back to the right lane if there are vehicles behind you that are waiting to pass,” said Wheeles in a post on Facebook. “This is meant to keep traffic flowing and to reduce crashes.”

Maybe it was a true emergency, last-ditch method.

Or maybe it was designed also to scare Gotham's criminal element. "Cheezit! Batman's gonna be on our case!"

In the Silver Age comics, Batman and Robin were frequently out and about during the day. Batman was shown as a kind of Sherlock Holmes in a cape and mask, and sometimes they had to question business people who were at work during daylight hours. I know that sounds pretty pedestrian and more like Dragnet than Batman. But it worked. (con't.)

56 (cont.) I recall one Batman comic in which a criminal has come to town, offering not only facial plastic surgery to gangsters and other crooks, but also a complete change of fingerprints! It looks bad for law enforcement. So Batman, get this, goes undercover as a robber looking for a new identity. He finds the guy is running a scam on his clients: The "changed" fingerprints are fake and will slough off soon, but by then the mastermind will be long gone.

The point is, we have never seen Batman go undercover to trap a criminal in any of the modern movies or TV shows. I want to see him be proactive, not just reactive. Set a trap for your quarry, whether he is the Joker or a Bugsy Malone type (which we also never see), and spring it on him.

79 As for Lois Lane . . . I guess the modern versions of her in the Christopher Reeve movies and on TV and the later movies are pretty good. The first actress (not Noel Neill) who played Lois in the George Reeves series impressed me as a no-nonsense reporter. Of course in the comics she was always doing two things, trying to get a "scoop" to impress Perry White (which, to be fair, Jimmy Olsen was doing as well), and trying to prove that Clark was actually Superman.

Oh, and hoping someday Superman would ask her to marry him.

84 Karmelo Anthony leftist lies:

1) I mentioned last night that his father went on the CBS Morning show & complained about the "all white jury." There were in fact 3 Asian Americans on the trial jury, i.e., not alternates; on the actual jury. No-one at CBS attempted to correct the mistake.

"All white jury" is so much more... persuasive. "9 whites and 3 Asian Americans" lacks the same rhetorical force.

2) Soon-to-be ex-Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) took to the internet today to explain that "Karmelo didn't even have a deadly weapon! He had a knife with a one inch blade, like a Swiss Army knife with the little scissors and things."

The murder weapon was in fact a hunting knife (branded as such) with a 3 & 1/2 inch, serrated blade.

Another interesting thing JWST discovered are the "little red dots", that existed in the very early universe.

Most galaxies have YUGE, supermassive black holes in the center. A question is what came first, the galaxies or the black holes. Some theories about primordial black holes aside, they thought the only way to make them in the large numbers was mergers after star deaths. Big stars go supernova, leave stellar mass black holes behind, and then they merge into the big boys.

But it turns out those little red dots, at least one now proved, are big black holes surrounded by gas clouds. So it looks like the big black holes may have formed first, becoming the seeds around which galaxies formed.

That's it. Couldn't think of her name. She seemed much tougher than Neill's Lois, which is the one nearly everybody remembers.

I recall someone saying, maybe here, that Lois was based by Shuster and Siegel on Rosalind Russell's tough lady reporter in His Girl Friday. But that movie didn't show up until two years after the first Superman comic. The play and first movie version of The Front Page had been around for quite a while; they might have seen that. But "Hildy" Johnson in the earlier versions was a man. Not until HGF was the role taken by a woman. So, color me confused.

Green Chartreuse is actually starting to reappear on the store shelves for the common folk.

Since it's made by Carthusian monks in France, the supply is limited, and the "mixology" craze of the last couple decades sucked up the whole supply at the professional level.

And the best thing to do with Green Chartreuse is make a Last Word cocktail.

Gin
Green Chartreuse
Maraschino liqueur
Fresh lime juice

.....in equal parts. So squeeze the lime, and use as much of the other 3 as you get in lime juice.

Much like Freddy they loved it here, were amazed at the difference of the states and accents, even the size of pick up trucks. Buckees blew their minds as well as barbeque, etc.

They'd heard stories about how horrible we are, how dangerous it is here, yada, etc. Found out the rumors were completely wrong. A Southern family invited them into their home for Thanksgiving.

They want to move to the states and are working on it. These are the people we need, not invaders who hate us.

159 Doof, because of various circumstances in my life when my mother passed on, it really didn't hit me that she was gone until one night a few months later. I actually had my hand on the phone to call her about something when I realized I *couldn't* call her.

So if you feel numb right now, I venture to say, that's normal. The time will come.

176 I was in Germany during the 1990 World Cup. Our battalion took a getaway trip to Portoroz, in what was then Yugoslavia. The Scots had just lost to the Yugoslavian team in Trieste (not far from Portoroz) during one of the preliminary rounds.

Buddies and I were in a club, and suddenly beer bottles were flying all around. Music cut off, lights came up, and the crowd poured out of the club. We saw a dude being chased across the road and he runs right into a barricade. Falls flat. Buddy and I were medics, so we go to see if we could help. He had been stabbed in the back. We began first aid, but then the sergeant who was our babysitter grabbed us by the collars, and told us to run the fuck away. Yugoslavian police were arriving, and the would arrest everyone.

We washed the blood off in a fountain, then went to the beach to watch the sun rise.

But that movie didn't show up until two years after the first Superman comic. The play and first movie version of The Front Page had been around for quite a while; they might have seen that. But "Hildy" Johnson in the earlier versions was a man. Not until HGF was the role taken by a woman. So, color me confused.

Real absinthe has been available again in the USA since 2007.

.....

Too much thujone does dull the senses in the same way alcohol does, and more will cause muscle spasms, and eventually death, but it's never been proven to be hallucinogenic. That likely came from other crap added to 19th-century absinthe.

Even then, American absinthe is limited to about 1/3 as much thujone as European absinthe.

If you drink enough American absinthe to get enough thujone to have a noticeable effect, your BAC will be about 1.4%, and you'd have died of alcohol poisoning quite a while ago. European? Your BAC will be about 0.4% and you'd be somewhat-more-recently dead.

The thing about the Kennedy Center Naming thing is that Trump didn't remove Kennedy's name, he added his own as a joint designation.

239 I loved the Bartles & James ads. Watching them makes me smile. "Thank you for your support" was a meme before the internet.

Yes!

I'm more worried about here than the stupid Iranians. They don't understand, he owned casinos and they are playing their favorite game in his house. It's the fucking judges that are killing us.

241 221 I guess no one gave a hoot who they were over there (or here). Rosie even had a facelift but I can't tell as she's still as ugly as if a steam roller smushed her face like a Pekingese.

Soooo....how does one tell the difference between Rosie and Stephen King (mister old lesbo)😮??!!!

Huh, I thought wine coolers, were like today's hard seltzers. Clear alcohol mixed with fruity flavors. I cannot drink wine, my normally cast iron stomach feels like I got punched when I try but wine coolers never did that to me.

243 B&J was a E&J Gallo product. You know, like Thunderbird.

Maybe so, but sure tasted better than T-bird! (Not a high bar, but still...MUCH better)

244 Hi, Piper! How’s the Afterlife?
Posted by: Bulg

Pretty good, sad for my friend today, of course. But I did go to tea with my kiddo, we had a great time. She even said so before we went upstairs tonight. I had a honeysuckle pear oolong that was very good.

245 The statute creating the Center establishes the name of the center, so, in this case, Trump really does not have a leg to stand on.

I mean it's still pure TDS but this is what is to be expected.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 13, 2026 11:27 PM (XV/Pl)

So have the EPA and OSHA go through the Kennedy Center with a fine-tooth comb, and have them find asbestos, or radon, or outgassing formaldehyde. "Remediation of this old building will be too expensive. Best to raze it to the ground, and build Trump Center in its place."

246 Summer after high school (1985) was when I began drinking (mostly because my parents wouldn't be on me for drinking while in high school). This was FFx Co., Va, and while we drank a lot of beer, we drank a LOT of orange California Cooler (OCC). That stuff was fantastic.

248 I don't understand (or care) why Curacao, which is a Dutch colony, gets a World Cup team. Seems like it would be treated as part of the Netherlands.

As I say, they can give Florissant, MO its own team too, for all I care.

Just got word on the passing of a great lady, the proud trophy wife (I would call her that and she would beam) of my dear friend John. Cancer took her at 63. They deserved many more years together..

254 When I met the girl who became my wife, she was drinking Bartles and James coolers. E-Club at Fort Sam. Buddies and I had split a fifth of Bacardi 151 in the parking lot before going in. I am amazed I was even upright, but, hell I was at my physical peak. I was good to go.

Aw man, now I'm all misty with the nostalgia. Were we ever so young?

262 Wasn't one of our retards troll babbling something about OrangeManBad having jinxed the Knicks?

I didn't realize it was the finals... let alone that they just won the series 4-1. HA HA!

263 Graham Platner:

Quantas, a respected pollster, has Platner only leading Collins by one point, according to a new poll.

Ten days ago, another had Platner up by 10. Platner's internal poll has him up by 4, apparently. In any event, he's falling.

I think any DEM but Platner could've beaten Collins. Nominating Platner was a real gift to the GOP. They probably won't have to spend a ton of money in ME now.

264 It's the 30th anniversary of the movie, so marketing genius on the baseball team's part.
Posted by: Vendette at June 13,

Definitely!

I used to have a guy helping me who had fam in ND. They were mostly Twins fans. But so was he. Anyway, this kid had lots of trouble with the Law out my way- petty crime stuff. And when he had outstanding warrants, he'd always wait to turn himself in til October, when hopefully, the Twins were in a pennant race- (God Bless Kirby Puckett). But in general, he hated baseball, along with every pro sport.

265 196 All this chat about the Lane sisters got me thinking about Franke Laine (phonetically the same in spite of the I). Not only did he record Rawhide, but also sang the theme in Blazing Saddles!
Posted by: LRob in OK at June 13, 2026 11:12 PM (Jr+re)

Mel Brooks told the story that Laine didn't realize the movie was a comedy- he thought it was a real Western and that was why he was singing his heart out, perfectly serious, in the title.

My condolences to Doof as well. My own mother, 96 now, is in the twilight. Her ticker is giving out, it appears.
