@Doctor-Phibes said in My mail-in ballot was counted!: @Jolly said in My mail-in ballot was counted!: Trump was right. There's a huge difference between relatively minor irregularities and a massive over-arching fraudulent conspiracy to steal an election. Something Trump's supporters and apologists seem determined to fail to acknowledge. I can't imagine why. If Trump won but they found fraud, I'm very sure Trump would pursue lost votes and other discrepancies.

@George-K said in The best thing about social media: @89th said in The best thing about social media: I've even stopped using MySpace! Just wait until MySpace turns into MyChart. LOL funny you said that. I just signed up for that a few days ago. Part of the process of establishing an account to get a primary car physician, I haven't gone to a doctor in a few years (and definitely not since moving to Minnesota). I'm also learning that getting an appointment for a specialty (like an ENT or dermatology) is usually a months-out wait. Thanks a lot, Obama.

@Mik said in Thousand Year Old Tradition Ending: Meh, we don't do much ritual sacrifice these days either. Not during Lent at least.

I just realized I was wrong! It’s not Lame Donald [image: #photo] It’s Lamè Donald!

@Mik said in 'Shrooms are growing..: Bad trade. Yeah, agree.

@George-K said in Why haven't we talked about the NYPD dance video?: That's why I don't understand all the mockery and hate about it. That's because you're taking it at face value.

Manicure is $60 around here. After paying for it, you've spent your French fry money...

If it's ten cents, it's waaay too much!

His nickname is 'Teflon Mark'. That says enough.

Chess is the one activity where white privilege really is systemic.

They’ve got a legitimate beef.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/house-republicans-mask-mandate-dispute-denied-by-supreme-court The US Supreme Court refused to consider if three Republican lawmakers, who violated a Covid-era mask mandate, can sue the House speaker and congressional officials for docking their pay. The court on Tuesday said it won’t hear a claim by Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina that the $500 fines violated the 27th Amendment, which says congressional salaries can’t be reduced by law until there’s an intervening election.

Last night I cut some gold potatoes and air fried them. Kind of limp. Tonight I’m doing broccoli and baby carrots with a nice pompano filet. Healthy and delicious.

@Jolly said in Capital One Is Buying Discover Financial: And the big get bigger. Don't care for it. Barry had the right idea to bust up the big banks. Too bad Timmy didn't listen. The Occupy Wall Street movement also had the right idea to bust up the big banks. Liz also had the right idea to rein in the big banks with the CFPB. Ditto Chris, Barney, and Bernie. The Tea Partiers came along and weakened Barry's hand. Donny did bupkis to bust up or rein in the big banks. Sad.

More like stupidity feeds off unwarranted attention.

Just another tidbit to shore up the fantasy being sold to our children.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Non-Woke Entertainment Wins: Comms majors. I'm serious. You might even say literal. Drum majors could literally write better than this. You can lead a rising ship to water, but it will gather no moss after the stable door is bolted.

@Jolly said in Gen Z Snapshot: https://nypost.com/2024/02/17/us-news/foster-kid-who-went-to-yale-says-family-trumps-college/ From that article: There was a period in my adolescence from 9 to 13 where I did have two parents. My adoptive mother entered a relationship with a woman and they raised me for a few years together. The bright spot of my childhood was those years. My grades were the highest they had ever been. I was the most academically focused. I was the least likely to get into trouble at school or with my friends. See, @Jolly, the best parental configuration, based on this guy’s life story and experience with no less than 10 foster families, is one with two women co-parenting together!
