Great, now we're going to hear more about "a good guy with a gun" without acknowledging there is absolutely no way to determine a "good guy" versus a "bad guy."

"Bank of America admits willfully violating Bank Secrecy Act regulations and failing to 'timely report' more than $5 billion in 'suspicious' transactions, Treasury said." So, they still made $3.8 billion? Or is that my ignorance of how things work in this space? (legit question)
CNN@cnn.com · 4d agoThe US Treasury Department announced it was imposing a more than $1.2 billion fine on Bank of America, accusing the bank of violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. https://cnn.it/4zqT3fp
For those wondering where their postal mail is today, I'm here to remind you that it's a Federal holiday, still designated by OPM as Columbus Day. It's also 2026, which means you should care about very little about your postal mail, and the OPM needs to change the name of holiday.

It rained in Vegas, so now every single post about Vegas includes at least one shot of the flooding at the Linq. So it was when it was Imperial Palace. So it is now. So it shall always be.
So is NBC's upcoming "Newlyweds" basically "Dharma and Greg" but with Jamie Lee Curtis and two kids thrown in?

Character who works in the hospital walks into a bodega on Valentine's Day. February is sweeps month. So that means the place is getting robbed, someone is getting shot, and the hospital worker is going to have to save someone who accidentally got shot in the robbery. And... I was right. ER S3E15
It seems like the Pittsburgh Pirates end up playing every September 19. September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

What happened to Sisko and Bashir's combadges in "Past Tense"? It was mentioned at the beginning of the first episode that they were robbed, but by whom? And then what happened? Were they just melted down or did someone do something interesting with those combadges? #ds9
The Kennedy Center Honors are typically announced in the June/July timeframe. Last year, it was August in the midst of the chaos related with POTUS. I suspect there will not be an Honors for 2026, which is a sad break in the tradition that not even COVID could accomplish.
I remember when The Price Is Right added a space to the car value on "Any Number". And then there are places that are definitely gouging right now. "Regular gas prices in California hit an average of $5.92 a gallon on Friday, according to AAA, while the average diesel price stood at $7.98."
Surprised the CA DMV would let this plate exist, but then they probably weren't looking in the mirror at the time.
If you know anyone who works at El Pollo Loco, take pity on them today. There's a coupon for today only to get a free two piece meal (dark meat) with purchase of a drink. Yes, getting a $10 meal because you bought a $3-ish drink is happening, and those workers are going to be TIRED!
I have a real chance in the next few days of going to a Whataburger for the first time. I just have to convince my wife to go with me.

When Chase had their 100k point offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred, I caved and got it, even with the $95 annual fee. This week, I booked a flight where the few points I already had were transferred at 1.2x value & we got out $100 annual hotel credit. This year's benefits have paid off already.

It's interesting that California is just expending this for three years instead of making it permanent. Of course, we also took 10 years after Hollingsworth v. Perry to get rid of Prop 8, so that actually tracks.
