#otd 1956: Hungary rises against Soviet rule.
Thousands take to Budapest’s streets. Stalin’s statue is toppled. Security forces open fire.
The protests become a revolution.
Within two weeks, Soviet tanks will crush the uprising
Listen to the story in tomorrow’s episode.

What are you thoughts on “Bridge of Spies”?

Still a little mad the HR at the casino I worked at made our Chief of Security who had a jar of VC/NVA ears in formaldehyde remove it from a shelf in his office.
If a boss wants to make an impression on their people that is a perfect way.
He was a West Texas boy who did two tours in Nam.
I hate this so much.
Some parents are ditching plates and silverware for a “dump dinner,” pouring the meal straight onto a foil-covered table and letting the kids dig in. For these families, it’s less about manners and more about making memories.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The "dump dinner" is a viral social media trend of staged videos primarily for engagement, not a common family practice. Children in videos often react with alarm rather than requesting it.

Seems clear to me now that the theory is going to be that she was NOT related to the person she claimed was her father, so she could NOT get derivative citizenship via his naturalization whether he ever was naturalized or not.
She has been an undocumented alien in the US her entire life because her real father remained in Great Britain when she came to the U.S. with a different family who lied about her being their daughter.
This is why they wanted DNA of her sister, and already had DNA of her husband/brother.
There is reporting that this all kicked off recently over a group text message on her sister's phone -- LIKELY obtained in connection with the fraud investigations in Minneapolis that involve her sister.
THAT's why they wanted her phone so badly -- to find the same message on her phone. She's probably in the group chat that was found on her sister's phone.
The message must reveal some information about them not being part of the same family.
If she acknowledged knowing that was the case, then she has lied numerous times as an adult about what she knew about her lineage and whether she was naturalized.
Lying about citizenship is a federal crime.

Absolutely incredible…
"Wedgewood Polls" just admitted they are a fake polling firm and made up their polls.
Their fake polls have been posted in both the NYT and Nate Silver’s averages.
I've seen a couple of personal injury lawyers advertise getting millions for clients that got hurt.
But I mean to get that kind of money there had to have been a severe brain injury or something else rather tragic. One of the billboards even said it was from a brain injury.
It just seems a little crass. You have to be really really hurt and have your life changed to get that kind of money.
When most cases are settled for much less. Getting a few thousand is still good.

When I was at Ada’s I thought they just have Sous vide them too but I asked the bartender who asked the cooks and he told me they don’t Sous vide but braise them.
The food at Ada’s is great but don’t undersell the bar program great drinks and they have ports and sherrys available too.
You can’t tell me that Russia isn’t in someway behind this unrest in France and Europe.
They were behind it in the Cold War too.
Russia loves sticking to their playbook.

Yes the ice at Bar Ginza is imported from Japan. They get in big 40lb blocks and cut it up.
Baseball playoff games especially for the pennant need to be on broadcast tv.
The Brewers/Dodgers games only on Fox Sports 1 is BS.
If there are complaints about low ratings they’d why.

It was recently brought to my attention that Sam has been sneaking off early in the morning to go visit an elderly couple down the road. They cook him breakfast and he takes a nap in their pasture before heading home. I caught him in the act today.
Great Pyrenees are something else.😆
