@89th said in Happy Birthday 89th!: @taiwan_girl - that is funny! I really liked Bush Jr. I thought he was much smarter and more authentic than the press gave him credit for during his time in office. My opinion of him has only grown since then. When he released the public statement re-affirming the race narrative in the wake of George Floyd, I lost respect for him as a thinking human being. I also lost a sliver of hope for humanity in general, when someone like him can get swept up by the righteous mob group-think like that. He didn't need to say anything.

Link to video Thanks phibes!!!

I think that will be determined by the judge and jury.

@LuFins-Dad said in Square and Cube Roots Calculations by Heart: Did anyone else expect the video to be Annn and Nancy Wilson singing about square roots? Or was that just me? Yeah...it was just you.

Poots might get thrown out.

20.3% turnout in my county. Depressing.

@George-K said in Will Roe v. Wade overturn violence...: @jon-nyc said in Will Roe v. Wade overturn violence...: Pretty hard to tell. How many followers does this guy have ? 50 million? Or 500? 258K. Do we judge crime by the number of people who like the criminal? Laws of my state be damned, I'll do what I think is right. Nice attitude for a candidate whose job it is to enforce the law.

@Horace said in On the extinction of original blockbuster movies: Studios are making bigger bets these days, and want lower risk on their returns. I think this is the main reason. MOvie studio will want something that is proven and are afraid to take chances. On a somewhat related note (at least it is related to movies), China wanted Sony to remove the Statue of Liberty from the latest Spiderman movie. Sony refused, so Chinese did not allow the movie to be shown in China. For the previous two Spider man movies, 15-20% of revenue for the movie came from China, so it was a pretty big decision to refuse China. Sony Refuse to Delete Spiderman Scenes

That’s good. I did not think he could possibly be beaten. Despite the Trump effect, Ohio voters are by and large a sensible lot. Vance is winning the Senate primary. Not who I voted for, but he’d be my second choice. I have no problem voting for him.

I would have to Google but I couldn’t be bothered. RIP all the same.

And evil.

Well, I call that rank ingratitude. All that Snake Chow, and this is how he's repaid???

@George-K placet.

It won't be long before democrats demand equity. The good athletes are just too good. Unless everyone can play that well, the top athletes will just have to slow down. No justice, no peace

Blood-letting and Ipecac to level the playing field...

I capsized a four man scull once in a practice in Annapolis. That was embarrassing. Proceeded the next day to lose to the naval academy's freshmen team.
