Random News and Notes 6 August
Does anyone remember when Howard Stern used to be funny? Or is it just me? Anyway, SiriusXM has announced Stern’s show will be going away when his contract expires at the end of the year.
The problem? Stern’s ratings have tanked in recent years. Prior to the first Trump administration, Stern was the most listened to radio show in the world. He regularly pulled in millions of listeners on a daily basis. Of late though, he struggles to pull 200k listeners. The math just ain’t mathing anymore.
President Trump made a post on his Truth social platform calling for the federalization of policing in the District of Columbia. He then followed it up with comments in a press appearance. Trump was uncharacteristically vague about the reasons, but Elon had this to say by way of explanation.
That DOGE team member? Edward Coristine, AKA Big Balls. Coristine jumped in to save a young woman from a gang of ‘teens’. He got his ass beat for his trouble, but he saved the woman. He took one hell of a beating:
I tried to embed the tweet that image came from, but Xitter can be fussy about that kind of thing.
Anyway, Coristine truly has big balls and is frankly a hero.

Watch this and tell me homie is wrong:
You can’t and he’s not.
Skip this next section if you suffer from arachnophobia.
It’s tarantula mating season. If you live in Texas, Arizona, California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah or Southeastern Colorado expect to see a lot more of the creepy-crawlies as the male tarantulas wander about looking for mates.
Living where I do, I do not have to deal with tarantulas, so I was surprised to learn that they only breed once and that they are between 5 and 7 years old when they do. Sucks for them I suppose.
