Submarines don’t sink. They drown.

Kefir is popular in this house. Even I have developed a taste for it. Took a while, mind you.

Honestly I think it’s a combo of two things. One, she doesn’t do well with bad sleep and…well let’s just say it’s been probably 6 years since either of us have topped 8 hours of sleep in a night. Our kiddos are sweet but they loved waking up 1-3 times a night before they turned 3. Second, hate to say it. But the smart phone. Very easy (and understandable) to sit down and just scroll and relax for…far too long. Parents and stay at home moms did a lot more around the house in the 80s and 90s because the smartphone didn’t exist yet, or internet, or more than a few tv channels.

Look, it was lawfare to begin with, a particularly odious form of politics that needs to die the death of a woodpecker, no matter who originates it.

People need delusions. It may be all that someone is clinging to.

@Axtremus said in Yet another data breach - 106 million people: @Horace said in Yet another data breach - 106 million people: There is a certain de facto safety when everybody else had their info leaked, too. Not really. Filtering big data is not that hard these days. The safety I have in mind doesn't come from a difficulty in filtering a large dataset. The value of the information is lessened if it's understood by the marketplace that the information is no longer private, and no longer a reliable indicator of one's identity.

I was aware of him, that’s about it. As for Jazz trumpet players, I rather like Dave Douglas. Check out his 2015 album Dada People on the greenleaf label.

@Axtremus said in President Biden's track record: Manage the COVID, then the economic recovery following COVID, those are huge challenges. Giving Congress a chance to enact a legislative fix is reasonable. With all these, 3.5 years ain't too bad. Ah, he was distracted. If only he had had a capable black woman #2 who could have done it.

She has RDF. Resting Disgruntled Face.

My favorite thing to say at the dentist: "OK Doc, let's just get this straight. We're not gonna hurt each other, right?"

I hope I'm wrong, but it looks a little like she has an eating disorder. [image: 1727354975638-ee21a1e7-c10e-4325-93e1-71148e6174e7-image.png] [image: 1727354984621-6f0d6782-b720-4617-9296-9cce67593cf4-image.png] [image: 1727355023665-0dcffb5a-3151-462c-80ea-513655cd2792-image.png]

The first one was sort of beatles like. The second one was more like something out of the 50s.

@Horace said in The Big Guy: I'll feel a lot safer when he's in prison. "Cage the senile man!"

@George-K said in "The Batman": @LuFins-Dad said in "The Batman": See Afleck version.. Any good? I put it right up there with George Clooney, but that's just me. I always felt that the villains were easily the best part of Batman, even the camp ones. And isn't it a bit hard for anybody to wander around in a black rubber suit without being camp?

Interesting thought exercise.
