Then when they crash into a US (or Taiwanese or Philippine, or etc) plane or ship, they will then blame the other side.

@copper Pretty pictures!!! Those are definitely a "picture worth a thousand words!"

Here's the story in the "Tech News" section on NBC news: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-border-visit-video-patrol-mexico-eagle-video-texas-rcna122382?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=653be59b866c2700014668e3&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter Nothing like reporting hard tech news, NBC. Musk has become increasingly outspoken about U.S. political issues, and has repeatedly discussed immigration online. He has also become an outsize figure in Texas, where his companies have made major investments and purchased large swaths of land. The incident caused some controversy at the time, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., referring to it as a “joyride” in a post on X. No doubt, AOC wept.

We’ve been using Kirkland Paper Towels and TP for years. Recently noticed that the paper towels are not nearly the quality that they used to be and are switching to Bounty. Now I’m worried their TP is going in the same direction.

Kind of unrelated - last night I came across a masterclass taught by Jonathan Biss. It was on the Schubert Impromptu in C-minor. He said, "When Schubert writes in a minor key, it's sad. When Schuber writes in a major key, it's tragic." Link to video

If you had tuned in to NBC on a Saturday morning in the summer of 1992, you would have seen animated programs such as "Space Cats," "Yo Yogi!," and "Captain N and the New Super Mario World." Say what you will about wokeness these days, but we should never go back to saturday morning cartoons like Captain N Word.

The one on the left used to look like a big rock, and could tunnel through the planet as if it were butter. Not sure about the guy on the right.

No, we'll elect the Fat Orange One.

Young man was not playing due to injury and rehab. Lots of rumors floating around.

Anecdotal...Electrophysiologist told me two weeks ago that his cases were up 10% post-COVID. COVID? Vaccine? COVID + Vaccine? An in-depth, large study would be interesting...

You get the government you vote for...

@jodi said in No side effects yet: Wondering how long I should wait for the Covid vaccine - just (in the last week) got over my second covid infection, and it absolutely flattened me. (Except for the fear of the unknown factor, first time i had it in March 2020 it wasn’t as bad.) There are antibody tests, although I don't know if there is any good data on correlation between antibody titers and natural immunity.

Hmm. No, can't see it. Trump cannot pull the rug out from under his supporters, which is exactly what he'd have to do to get them in line to actually accomplish something.

Stephen Merchant is almost as sophisticated as I am. Notice the bottle of high-class Newcastle Brown Ale!
