@Mik said in At the White House earlier: How can you tell? He drops the medal.

Thought question: Trump calls Walz a dipshit and says, "Well, he's gay." What would the news cycle be for the next 48 hours?

We should lock them up before they build detention camps.

@George-K said in "Mr. Carlson, would you comment?": @Horace said in "Mr. Carlson, would you comment?": dare them to print it seriously. "Mr. Carlson, in a response to our inquiry stated that he, indeed, has taken a blood oath to Q Anon and other far right organizations. As of press time, he has not responded to our question about his alleged embracing the Nazi party. However, a source reported he was seen wearing a brown shirt."

Smart move for Apple. Photoshop is, I believe, the only Adobe software still designed and updated by the team here in the U.S. and not India. It's hard to beat. As a desktop editor, Pixelmator doesn't even come close. It'd be a stupid choice. But as built-in phone software? Great idea.

In the thread, someone commented that the FBI seized all of Diddy's computers. But, it wasn't to preserve evidence, but to prevent prominent names from coming out. Remember when Epstein's computers disappeared? Yeah.

Man I hope this isn't a woulda coulda shoulda Bill Buckner style election.

@jon-nyc said in Remember when candidates’ grades mattered?: Trump threatened legal action against any university that released his transcript. He must be so proud of them. I bring it up because I remember the Bush/Gore grade wars. Obama hasn't released his college records either.

@Copper said in But why?: @Doctor-Phibes said in But why?: So that started during the Trump presidency, and then went away after Biden took charge? No Like that other famous orange gentleman The Man from Del Monte, the graph says "Yes!"

Love this - this probably brings those kids more joy than a typical American buying a nice car.

In the box of paper clips

@Horace said in Trick or treat pics: Nice pics! What a beautiful neighborhood. Thanks - that particular street is a block over from our house and is a big uphill with culdesac. Probably not the most fun street to drive in the slippery/icy winters, but they do have nice houses built around 2009 or so. Lots of fiesta maples that blaze in October, blue spruce pines that provide greenery year round, and river birch with some cool 3-trunk trees throughout the yards.

Good piece, and well reasoned.

Remember the heady days when it was OK to call someone a chickenhawk?

@Mik said in I absolutely hate IP.: That’s the paper industry all over. One of our frequent dinner guests worked in sales for the mills for 50 years. Dying industry. Dying in the U.S., but doing pretty well in other places.
