    Oh my.

    Kanye West said he’s planning a 2024 presidential run and has tapped far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos in a video posted to Twitter Sunday.

    Gotta wonder who's the sane one - if, indeed, one of them is.

    And, while we're on the subject, how do you pronounce, not spell, this device?

    Screenshot 2022-12-04 at 6.31.47 PM.png

    Every surgeon I worked with pronounced it as a "wheat-lander."

    Totally wrong it is a Weitlaner retractor, developed by Felix Weitlaner..

    It should be pronounced "Veyt-lanner" or perhaps "Feyt-lanner."

    Bengals also should have taken the field goal in the first quarter. They already had an 11 point lead. I’ve seen them make that mistake several times this year. Swagger doesn’t win games. Points do.

    The greatest achievement for any satirist is for people to take them seriously.

    For years I thought Copper was a lib.

    I used to think Quirt was actually a lawyer.

    Hahahahahaha

    I love the English and bull mastiff breeds. Quiet, gentle giants. If they bark, you know there is a problem.

    We used to have them when my husband and I were first married. I have a great picture of my eldest daughter (maybe at 7 yrs old?) with her head next to one of the bull mastiffs, and his head was bigger than hers. Then there's another one of our cat with half of her body inside the dog's ear; she would go in there to clean it.

    But those dogs don't live very long, and each death broke my husband's heart. So, now we have pugs.

    @Copper said in Dangerous approach:

    Those white rectangles on the runway are called aim points - they give you something to aim at. The exact configuration of the markings depend on runway length.

    Typically the aim point is 1,000 feet from the end of the runway. This runway is only 2,119 feet long, so the aim points appear to be closer to the runway end. This could have confused the pilot.

    I mean, he almost landed on the white rectangles exactly. Just the wrong ones.

    Exactly why I have no Alexa and have turned Siri off. My machines have no business listening to me or spending my money because they thought I wanted a <fill in the blank>..

    You can get it at Amazon.

    You’re welcome.

    A $15 mug with $7 delivery?

    Nope.

    See for me, slowly and deliberately sipping from that thing in every Zoom meeting is well worth the $22.

    I like it. Also regained an appreciation for how cute Garfield's love interest was. That body doesn't just happen. She puts in the work.

    Fucking Heathcliff, man. Totally different cat.

    Oh, yeah. Garfield was more of a sellout.

    Oh absolutely. Like john's sister, he spent many decades spreading himself around wherever he could.

    Heathcliff stayed true to his bullshit.
