I forgot my ID to the gym today. The lady had a picture of me from 15 years ago, doubted that it was me. 15 years older but 30 pounds lighter. Thanks to @VinnieTortorich Tortorich and #NSNG.

Intel was awarded up to $7.9 BILLION in CHIPS subsidies to create American semiconductor jobs.

It then permanently eliminated 3,178 Oregon jobs—including hundreds of engineers.

Now Intel’s own filings show it is still sponsoring H‑1B engineers at the same Hillsboro operation.

Beef math.

Buying direct from a rancher is not cheaper than Walmart; there is absolutely no way to compete with their economy of scale/feedlot models and raise the animals right. It is, however, much higher quality than Walmart (single animal, no commingled trim from who knows how many cattle or countries) and cheaper than buying from a quality butcher with still higher quality overall.

If you buy the equivalent of a whole beef from Walmart, it will cost roughly $4800.00.
If you buy a finished whole beef from a rancher including processing, it will cost roughly $5200.00.
If you buy the equivalent of a whole beef from a quality local butcher, it will cost roughly $6000.00.

If a family of four buys a whole beef:

The beef will supply 50% of their annual protein needs for an entire year if they eat beef five days a week (one beef centric meal a day).

The family will avoid the growth hormone implants and routine antibiotics used in feedlot production, and the commodity mixing that blends trim from hundreds of animals, often from multiple countries, into a single package. That commingling is also why one problem animal can trigger a recall covering tons of ground beef. Finally, if the animal is raised the way we raise ours, it is active, healthy, and calm its entire existence which creates better, more nutritous beef overall that was treated humanely and respectfully its entire existence.

Costs:

We price roughly in the middle of the antibiotic free, hormone free, no feedlot, raised-on-pasture-their-entire-life market at $5.95 a lb. hanging weight. Processing (billed by the processor) costs $1.00 a lb.
At those prices you're paying $6.95 a lb. hanging weight or between $11-$12 a pound take home weight across the board for all steaks, roasts, hamburger etc. If you figure equivalent steak, roast, and hamburger percentages that works out to $6.50 a lb. for hamburger, $22.50 a lb. for steak, and $9.00 a lb. for roasts.

No, no, Adam. He wanted you to notice and bask in the pride of being AMERICAN, watch great racing and patriotism on display. Not only that, this was privately funded, not government although it drove thousands of folks to the DC area that have never been (that’s economic impact for you). It allowed folks who have never been to see museums, monuments, the White House and AMERICAN history for the first time as well. And guess what, hundreds of thousands of AMERICANS, blue & red, as well as fans from all over the world loved the #Freedom250! 🇺🇸

Columbus residents, your utilities would like a word. 💸

According to the City’s own 2025 financial report, the average annual water/sewer/stormwater charge goes from $1,470.02 in 2025 to $1,644.28 in 2026.

That’s an 11.9% increase in ONE YEAR.

Water alone jumps 18%.

For comparison, the total annual increase was:
2022: 4.5%
2023: 4.5%
2024: 4.8%
2025: 6.2%
2026: 11.9%

And over the ten-year period shown?

Up 53.5%.

Anyway, please enjoy your increasingly premium Columbus water. 💧

The top two vote getters in the primary move on to the general regardless of party. If nobody challenges these two, they will face off in the general. 30% of Columbus voters voted for Trump in 2024. If the @ohiogop doesn’t run someone in the primary, it’s political malfeasance. A moderate Republican can win in the primary and with enough financial backing could give Columbus voters their first real chance at an outsider to effect change in Columbus.

JUST IN: It’s been revealed NYC-DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo lives in a $1.5 million Brooklyn townhouse reportedly held through his parents’ family trust — potentially subject to Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax.

A man can be seen firing a handgun during the active shooting situation in Twin Falls, Idaho.

The individual appears to be responding to the alleged shooter.

@grok @OhioState Aww man. Guess I'll start digging

[Rich Marshall @BSISE1997]

@OhioState @grok Please help me find information on who funded this research

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.

Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.

The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.

Why in the world is Ohio State offering "Queer Ecologies" "Introduction to Queer Studies" and "Latinx Gender studies" as a part of their mandated "Foundation Courses?"

Didn't we ban DEI at Ohio State?

Reminder: OSU got $432,000,000 from taxpayers last year.
