I have to wonder if the jury ruled because of the law, or because of hate for Zuckerberg.

"could crouch over and ride fast when the horse is galloping?"
"The horse in the movie was not cantering. It was not galloping. It was flat out running as fast as it could. And the girl was lying down with her face tucked up against the horse's neck."
Which is it? You are describing 2 different things.
Some of the riders in the stuff I posted i think meet your OP. Good old horse racing comes close to to the second, and that uses what is basically an English saddle.

You can't teach people to not do stupid things, but you can teach people how to do stupid things safely.
Well....sometimes.

Sonoma County Sheriff FB
Weapons, Whispers, and a Not-So-Great Getaway
On March 23, 2026, at approximately 7:34 p.m., a Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputy located 44-year-old Lloyd Robinson, who was wanted by the Santa Rosa Junior College Police Department for a recent domestic violence incident. The deputy was aware of Robinson’s extensive violent criminal history, as well as an active pending case involving a firearm.
The deputy contacted Robinson and 49-year-old Bouala Kavanh in the 200 block of College View Drive in Rohnert Park. Robinson was standing next to a Mercedes in a parking lot with Kavanh when he was detained without incident. At first, the situation appeared under control.
That calm didn’t last long.
While waiting for additional deputies, Robinson and Kavanh were permitted a brief conversation. During that conversation, Robinson began whispering, never a great sign when you’re in handcuffs. Moments later, his behavior shifted from cooperative to calculating, and it became clear something was being planned.
Then came the predictable twist: Robinson made a run for it.
He didn’t get far. The Deputy quickly caught up and took him into custody after a short foot chase. But while attention was on Robinson, Kavanh made her own move, slipping back to the vehicle and opening the driver’s door.
At that point, it was clear this wasn’t a coincidence; it was coordination.
Kavanh initially refused commands and attempted to use her phone, prompting the deputy to step in and detain her as well.
A quick look inside the vehicle revealed why the distraction mattered. In plain view, deputies spotted a loaded handgun tucked into the driver’s door. That discovery led to a full vehicle search, including multiple masks (including a ski mask and a red face mask), gloves with hard-knuckle protection, a machete, a ballistic vest, and multiple cell phones. Near where Kavanh was standing, the deputy found a firearm under a car that she had previously discarded.
Based on the evidence, deputies believe the items were used to commit armed robberies.
Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics detectives authored a search warrant for Robinson’s residence, where they recovered additional firearms and ammunition.
Both Robinson and Kavanh were arrested on multiple felony charges, including weapons violations, conspiracy, and resisting or delaying a peace officer. Detectives obtained a bail enhancement for Robinson.
Robinson remains in custody with a bail amount of $150,000. Kavanh’s bail was set at $50,000. She later posted bail and was released.
Moral of the story: whispering mid-arrest, running from deputies, and trying to hide evidence rarely improve your situation; they usually just add to the list of charges.
Case No: 260324-024

Baseball. Is this the sporting event where 2 guys play catch and if a 3rd guy, opposition, hits the ball 25% of the time he's a superstar?
No. It's the sport where professional musicians who play a 6' tall violin get together and have a melee.
Why do people who hate baseball have a compulsive need to constantly belittle it any time there's a thread about it? Feelings of inadequacy?

If there is supposed to be a picture underneath that picture I posted, there is not. It says it's a picture, but it's not a picture.
I took it into Google Lens and that's what it said about the blue can.

I don't know what the heck that blue can with the - rhinoceros? - on it is.
Falstaff has a shield, with what appears to be a large bullet hole in the upper right side. Maybe it's a shot from a cannon.
This image features a vintage Falstaff Brewing Corporation beer can, a collectible item from the 1970s.

From Arizona GeologicalSurvey at the University of Arizona FB page:
If you have ever driven US 395 in the Owens Valley east of California’s Sierra Nevada Mtns you encountered the Big Pine volcanic field. The Owens Valley is a rift basin and the western-most valley of the Basin and Range Province. The valley hosts a multitude of low-angle normal faults and a major right-lateral strike-slip fault. Volcanic activity here began about 1.3 million years ago and continued, episodically, till about 17 thousand years ago. Most of the 40+ volcanic vents and flows are basaltic.
Haproff and others (2026) provide new constraints on structural controls on the distribution, volume and composition of volcanic features comprising the Big Pine field.
Image CAPTION: "Map of Big Pine volcanic field and faults of central Owens Valley. Cross-section line across central Owens Valley (B–B′) is shown. Map references are listed in Figure 1 caption. Base map is from Google Earth."
Citation: Haproff P.J. and 4 others, 2026, Structural controls on the spatial distribution, volume, and composition of rift-related volcanism in Owens Valley, California, USA. Geological Society of America.

I'll just say the command or punch the number as soon as it says it. Otherwise I usually get something like "I didn't catch that." Then it goes through the list again.
If a person starts going into a sales pitch, I say "No thank you." and hang up.
