You can frame the lunatic fringe progressive ideas as the culprit in their loss in 2024 in any number of true ways. Not least that Kamala, a very weak candidate, would not have sniffed the nomination if she hadn't been lifted up out of the undistinguished masses of Dem politicians solely due to her gender and skin color.

I’ve seen old age. Past the early 80s it generally doesn’t look too attractive.

If NPR is breaking the law, I would prefer it be done that way. Then the opposition would be left with the weaker rhetoric that the courts are all ideologically captured. The rhetoric that the GOP hates liberal media, and will use the legislative branch to destroy it, is stronger.

That's good. I liked her from the hearing. People like her and Tulsi seem like genuinely independent voices, though I know people are flawed, and don't act entirely on principle, and I know most clearly that oppositional framings can always be deployed to make them look less principled than they are. All that understood, I am cautiously optimistic that her office will be less politicized than the previous one.

Unforced error. Not helpful.

One of ours was like this. It was always when the other humans were away.

I think it’s all about enjoyment of music and learning something fun from a 6 yr old’s point of view. Something she’ll sit down at not just to practice lessons but to play with, experiment with, develop her ear for, sing with. It was way too formal and painful when I was a kid. That old wooden upright. My 65 yr old friend has a keyboard her daughter once used and I noticed girly pink flower stickers on it. If I had a redo as a parent, sure, why not? It’s all about enjoyment of music.

Yep. That’s the business.

Does Rubin still work for the Compost?

Oh man very cool.

Fair. Though I would have figured we’re the more annoying bird.

Always thought that scene is a great piece of cinematic art.

Thanks for reminding me, I have some avocados in the fridge getting overripe. Delicious. Two things I will not buy from the store anymore. Premade Guac and Pico de Gallo. I will cheat and use a food processor for the onions and the jalapenos, but it is so much better homemade than store bought…

@jon-nyc said in Historic: Man Wins Argument With Woman: Thanks for confirming that right wing news sources aren’t reporting the December 18th announcement of the 1.3B and 10k troops. Thanks for confirming that the legacy media is not noting the additional $200B, Canada declaring the cartels terrorist organizations, and the Fentanyl Czar. I think the terrorists declaration was what he was really after, along with the attention.
