It can certainly be personal and affect people on a small and individual scale but on the macro? I doubt it.

And $9.50 per night for a shared room? The Plaza only charged $20 back then…

Ridiculous idea.

Iranian PM making positive noises about how the negotiations are going. Doesn’t seem like a good sign. https://x.com/osint613/status/1921584323704017062?s=46

@Copper said in Wow, Trump’s new Witch Doctor General pick is too insane for Laura Loomer: Clint Eastwood talks to the trees. It's OK. A lot of people did that in the 60's and 70's.

Tucker and Glenn Loury. Loury was "fired" by the Manhattan Institute recently, over his sympathy for the Palestinian perspective. I don't listen to Loury much anymore and no longer subscribe, but I'll try to make my way through this. I failed the challenge of his book, to accept his brutal honesty and transparency and not lose respect for him. So much of it was so gross. But, he's still an interesting and honest thinker.

@jon-nyc said in Brother Jim and Qatar: Can’t wait to see the original tweeter call for Trump’s impeachment this morning. Why would he do that? EDIT: Never mind ... just saw the Emir Force One thread.

Poor Alan Rizzo. We used to send that kids pizzas so often it got to the point where the restaurants would call his house and verify before making it. Also, Safari Cards, Columbia Record House, and the Ginsu Knife Collection. Never a dull moment at the Rizzo household.

They drove there. Ban them from driving too. A strange target to make such an effort to destroy. It was about an hour drive from where we live. Had the two idiots just watched Robin Hood and taken childish offence at the historical inaccuracies? Apparently Trump(CF) was watching an Alcatraz film the day before he announced he wanted to reopen it, so TV crapola does influence! The tree was a relatively young common sycamore and hardly beloved. In fact reflecting, I'm surprised it hadn't been removed for potential damage to The Wall, a UNESCO archaeological treasure. Anyway, moving on.

Lol. None at the moment. But as a teenager I would listen to VOA and anything I could pick up. Working abroad, the BBC World Service on my Toshiba saved me from being homesick(I still listen to it in the car). Just fancy messing about hearing whats out there instead of Sky tv channels. Maybe I'll get one of the Sony or Sangean portables.

@Mik great pun
