What, Trump had nothing to do with the ceasefire?

I should believe that guy, right?

Go to 4:00.

This is going to confuse the shit out of the aliens.

I’d tell the truth.

‘Of course not. and don’t even bother asking any other nominees. If we were such people we wouldn’t be here because he’s selecting for fealty, not strength or independence’.

Snort…

If you look at clips from "The Right Stuff," there's a whole sequence of US rockets in the early 60s blowing up. It would have been a national embarrassment if the Apollo missions had failed (look at Apollo 1!).

Good call about that movie. Similarly, and I've mentioned it a few times recently I know, the movie First Man is really "authentic" and you see some of the closer calls they had to deal with such as the first successful docking (Gemini 😎 but resulting near-disaster when it went into an uncontrolled roll. Very intense. And of course during the actual Apollo 11 moon landing let's not talk about how they were down to the last few seconds of fuel before touching ground.

I ventured into the congestion zone in my car yesterday, first time.

I was coming down the FDR (highway on east side of Manhattan island) and the exit one before the zone was backed up. People were avoiding the zone, as intended.

I went on. Perhaps there was a little less traffic in the zone but I don’t drive it enough to notice the difference. Plus if I drive there 5-10 times a year it’s at a different time of day so that probably adds too much variability for me to notice a difference.

Now USA has to insert the age of the President-elect...because TDS.

Well it’s also pretty historic. He will be the oldest person ever to be sworn in to the office. By a number of months. lol

I haven’t either but when AO discussed the case they mentioned who he was.

not personally familiar with Frisell; great thing to look up over the weekend!

He's definitely worth spending some time with - I discovered him a few years back. There's quite a bit on YT that's worth a watch. He has a much more thoughtful and melodic approach to guitar improv than is typically the case.

This isn't a jazz gateway drug, though, is it? Because I'm going to level with you, I already hang out with a rabbit, read poetry and play D&D on the weekends, my social credit can't really take another hit. I'm at rock bottom here.

Maybe someone more focused on the mission than the politics is what the doctor ordered.

They all had to be federal, so lots of DEA involvement. The DEA doesn't go after little guys.

I'm all for it, but the devil, as usual, is in the details. Will it be an effective bill, or will it just put a veneer over the issue.
