The Jumbo Mug is Superior to All Other Fiestaware Drinkware

The Jumbo Mug is Superior to All Other Fiestaware Drinkware

I guess they're not drinking giant amounts of coffee over there in West Virginia. I wind up having to refill my coffee a bunch of times. It's useful for soups, dips, dessert. I wish that they offered it for every new style they made. They used to, so I guess the numbers didn't pan out for them, but I suspect that was more due to retailers under-ordering than actual demand given the premiums on this size that are often seen online. Is everyone else happy with their pittance of coffee every morning in those smaller size mugs?

"What's the lowest you'll go"?

Significantly higher than it would have been before I got that message. There's a "best offer" button on every single one of my listings and I get this question daily anyway. I wish that eBay would block those messages and direct the buyers to the best offer button.

It's always Australia.

Pryde of the X-Men (1989) - Patrick Pinney gives Wolverine an Australian accent purportedly because being Australian was thought to be way cooler than being Canadian at the time.

EDIT: This supposition comes from an unsourced quote by Rick Hoberg floating around the internet. "According to story editor Rick Hoberg, he gave Wolverine an Australian accent due to the Australian fad going on at the time, and it was planned for Logan to be Australian in the comics. However, Logan instead remained a Canadian."

X-Men (2000) - Hugh Jackman, an Australian actor, is hired to play Wolverine in the X-Men movies.

Wolverine (2026) - Insomniac hires Australian voice actor Liam McIntyre to voice Wolverine in the video game.

He's the best he is at what he does, and what he does is an Australian accent.

What's on Little Ricky's Kite?

Looks like an astronaut maybe. I know in one of the previous episodes he had been talking to Bruce Ramsey about contacting the moon with the intercom. Just curious.

Counterfeits from India?

I want to acquire the set of the GYOG and noticed a seller in India selling the set on eBay. Something is fishy because they have ten full sets in stock. Somehow I doubt Scholastic is doing modern reprints in India of 30 year old Goosebumps enough for these sellers to have so many complete sets in excellent condition. These have to be counterfeit correct? They are advertising them as "reprints," which would be believable if the sellers didn't have them in bulk quantity of complete sets.

What's the latest on Acapulco?

We were there a couple nights ago and nobody knew if or when they were closing. A couple months back, they were two weeks from closing and somehow stayed open. I'm happy to still be able to go for happy hour, but does anyone know what the latest is with that situation?

Strange rash of return requests

We had an item that doesn't sell super frequently suddenly sell five times in a day to different buyers in several different locations. This item had been viral several years ago and I assumed the video somehow got shared around again. Shipped the orders. They weren't flagged by Shopify. A couple weeks go by, all were delivered. Suddenly literally every single buyer contacts within a couple of days asking to return saying the item is factory sealed. It's not a very expensive item with anything desirable inside to mine. I'm positive there's some kind of scam going on here, but I don't know what it is. Anyone experience anything similar or have any idea what is going on? I rarely get return requests. It's either a happy buyer or a charge back. I'm so confused.

Seen on the Sketchy Dan PAC: Mitra and Cassie Supporters Campaigning Together

With a lone Grossberg supporter that looks suspiciously like his wife in the background. Hoping that these two camps, who both had very good people, can come together.

Another Alleged Victim of Daniel Grossberg Comes Forward - "He sent me photos with descriptions of how he wanted to hurt me"

Voters, do your part. Do. Not. Let. This. Creep. Win.

Here is the text of Persephone Greene's post:

TW: Assault and Harassment

I am one of KY Rep. Daniel Grossberg’s victims. I attempted to speak out against him during the 2024 election, but unfortunately there were less who had come forward and few knew about what he had been doing. I moved into his district in late 2022, but I hadn’t researched the politics of that area and couldn’t vote due to the timing of the move. But with his 2024 campaign, I saw his face with the name and everything from 2007/2008 came flooding back. Ever since, I have tried to tell my story every way I knew how.

In 2007, I was introduced to Dan online by an old high school friend. His instant messaging username was GrinnellDan. I didn’t know what Grinnell was then. Now I know it was where he went to college. I was confused as it didn’t match his last name on Facebook. I was 19. I didn’t know until recently he would’ve been about 29. We chatted. Eventually, he asked to hang out in person in early 2008. I initially agreed. When he started acting strange, my gut and my friends said not to meet him. So I cancelled the meeting. He got angry. He threatened me in detail. He sent photos with descriptions of how he wanted to hurt me. The police couldn’t do much then. Laws were different. Campus security took a report. I blocked him. He never showed up. But he scared me. He was the first person I ever blocked on social media.

Cut to 17 years later. This man is now my state representative and has harmed more women over the years. A true pattern of disturbing behavior. He’s been asked to step down by multiple people and has refused. Citizens deserve better representation. I am a registered Democrat and a Jewish woman (Dan is Jewish). I am not speaking out for his party or faith as I am a part of those. I’m speaking out because people in power should not be predators. We should be able to trust our leaders.

I officially endorse Cassie Lyles for Kentucky House District 30 in this race. I’ve actually known her for several years as she went to college with my ex-husband. She had an amazing vision and a good heart. Please don’t allow this man anymore time in this position. Louisville and Kentucky deserve better.

Thank you to all of the other survivors for reaching out and speaking out. ❤️

Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Colman Endorses Cassie Lyles For KY House District 30 Against Alleged Sex Predator Daniel Grossberg

Lyles was endorsed as well by former State Rep Charles Booker. Mitra: Time to make a phone call.

Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Colman Endorses Cassie Lyles For KY House District 30

As Lt. Governor, endorsing a candidate in a legislative primary is something I don't do. But the 30th House District is a different situation, and I'm making a deliberate exception.

The district deserves better representation in Frankfort — which is why I'm proudly endorsing a fellow teacher, Cassie Lyles, for state representative.

Cassie has spent her career solving real problems with limited resources and showing up for kids and families every day. Those aren't just admirable qualities — they're exactly what effective representation in Frankfort requires.

Vote for Cassie Lyles on Tuesday, May 19th.

Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman

And here is the Charles Booker endorsement:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 14, 2026

Former State Rep. Charles Booker Endorses Cassie Lyles for KY House District 30

LOUISVILLE, KY — Former Kentucky State Rep. Charles Booker, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, released the following statement endorsing Cassie Lyles for Kentucky State House District 30:

“Today, I am proud to offer my full support and endorsement of Cassie Lyles for Kentucky State House District 30. Cassie embodies everything that we need in Frankfort right now. I am honored to stand with Cassie as a Champion for Working People, and I am fired up to make this endorsement.

As a teacher, fourth-generation union member, and community leader, Cassie knows what it takes to stand up for what is right, decent, and just. She will center the needs of working Kentuckians and ensure they have a strong voice in our State Capitol.

I call on everyone in District 30 to cast their vote for Cassie Lyles in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary. The people of District 30 deserve a state representative who listens and meets the needs of the people they serve. It’s time they had a leader with integrity. It’s time for Cassie Lyles.”

Representative Sarah Stalker endorses Cassie Lyles for House District 30 Against Alleged Sex Predator Daniel Grossberg

Mitra Subedi should really consider pow-wowing with Cassie Lyles ASAP. Do you really want to chance a Grossberg victory?

Representative Sarah Stalker endorses Cassie Lyles for House District 30

“Cassie has the heart of a teacher and the backbone of a union leader. She doesn’t just understand the struggles of Kentucky families—she’s lived them.

We dont need career politicians, we need people like Cassie who have real-world experience, integrity and compassion. Let’s send Cassie to the State House to fight for us.”

Early Voting Has Begun in District 30. Go Vote Against Alleged Sex Predator Daniel Grossberg

Election map linked above.

I'm going to add that since the momentum is rapidly building for Cassie Lyles I think Mitra Subedi should tap out and endorse, but I'm not saying he would be a bad choice when I say that.

Not all of us read Reddit and the news all the time, so if you can familiarize yourself and inform as many district residents as possible, all of us that were negatively affected by Grossberg's behavior would be greatly appreciative. Here's a recap of Grossberg news:

Former college classmate of KY Rep. Daniel Grossberg alleges he assaulted her

(And I want to stress: he contacted this victim when she was a minor)

Grossberg banned from strip club after inappropriate touching; also sought sex from dancer

(The circumstances of the 2024 alleged assault closely match the 2005 college classmate's police report. The incidents occurred 20 years apart and the two victims had no knowledge of each other)

Embattled KY Rep. Grossberg settles with public reprimand, waives ethics hearing

(The only reason he was able to settle and face no real consequences was "because sexual harassment is not explicitly included in the legislative ethics code" -- which should be next on everyone's agenda, but good luck with the GOP on that one)

School district investigated, found insufficient evidence in allegations against Grossberg

(Multiple students and parents from Ballard High School, where his wife Erica Grossberg works, have reported that Daniel Grossberg allegedly acted inappropriately on field trips, including new accusers that came out in the last few days in the comments on Reddit, so this well probably runs deeper than anyone realizes)

Previous accuser corroborates the allegation that Daniel Grossberg called his victims "little sister" in the Facebook comments of an accuser video.

This is a highly illustrative tidbit I found that nobody has reported on, but should be reported. It highlights the predatory nature of the alleged behavior, especially with multiple allegations of behavior around minors involved.

Beshear, Coleman demand Rep. Grossberg to resign following Herald-Leader investigation

Both of these guys need to endorse someone ASAP now that voting is open to end any chance of Gross getting re-elected.

All of them need to endorse as well.

Minority Whip Rep. Joshua Watkins Endorses Cassie Lyles, Opponent of Alleged Sex Abuser Daniel Grossberg, for House District 30

Probably time for Mitra Subedi to reflect on his campaign. Thank you for stepping up Representative Watkins. I hope more people do ASAP.

Minority Whip Rep. Joshua Watkins
Endorses Cassie Lyles for House
District 30

I am proud to endorse Cassie Lyles for State Representative in House District 30. Since I came to Frankfort, Cassie has been one of the most trusted voices I know on education and the issues facing JCPS families.

Her passion for children does not end when the school bell rings — it follows her into the community, into the union hall, and onto every picket line where working Kentuckians need a champion. I have watched her advocacy up close, and I know her labor roots are exactly what the General Assembly needs.

Cassie shows up. She speaks up. And she will deliver for the families of the 30th.

Previous Accuser Corroborates the Claim That Daniel Grossberg Called His Alleged Victims "Little Sister"

PSA: Mary Wurtz, the accuser named in the linked article, commented on Christina Ross's video corroborating the claim that Daniel Grossberg called his alleged younger victims "little sisters." The media has not been sufficiently clear on the nature of these allegations.

Here's the original video again for anyone who missed it so you can watch it or read the comment.

Daniel Grossberg is Out There Smearing and Re-victimizing His Accusers Again

Where the hell is Andy Beshear to solve this once and for all? He endorsed this creep in 2023 and got him over the finish line. I understand he asked him to resign. He needs to endorse this time to ensure his defeat. Everyone is showing off their participation trophy of a call-to-resign and nobody is stepping up to lock this race in for one of Grossberg's opponents. Cowards. I urge anyone reading to please go talk to or blast the higher-ups on socials to help stop this predator from running around his district lying to his constituents for the next several years. He's essentially a Republican seat right now because they have used him to neutralize District 30. Is that what Beshear wants to see here?

‘Enough is enough.’ KY Democrats again want Grossberg to resign over new allegation

At this point, I think calling for him to resign is sort of a cop out because it hasn't worked so far. I think the lieutenant governor and the governor should consider endorsing one of the candidates in District 30 to ensure his defeat. Beshear endorsed Grossberg last time and subsequently called for his resignation once it became clear who he is, but he really needs to endorse this time as well to cull the field and I think everyone in that district should be asking him to do so.
