I appreciate that someone took some time with that, but it's more along the lines of clapter for a target audience, rather than general purpose funny. IMO.

The headline is a thousand times better than the details.

America’s Worst Mayor Keeps Losing

Chicago’s Brandon Johnson gives up on a $300 billion property tax hike.

The Editorial Board Nov. 15, 2024 at 5:39 pm

On Thursday the City Council met in special session to block the mayor’s plan to use a $300 million property tax increase

Heard that in the original run. I've been listening to Megyn's show lately. It's fun. Listening to both sides of punditry, it seems like reality matches with theory (based on polling) that the left is not very happy, as compared to the right. Of course that's true now right after the election, but it holds true all the time.

My so-environmentally-conscious leftie brother just bought one of these Winnebago Travatos. gets about 11 MPG. I guess it's OK to kill the earth if you can save on hotel rooms and camp in people's parking lots.

Even a meter wide board would cause me to hesitate at that height.

One weird thing I've figured out about myself: sheer cliffs I'm fine with. But anything manmade I freak out. I can do the pass around Wind Gap in PA just fine but I can't do roller-coasters.

Fixed.

Very good harmony between the two.

I think you posted a video about harmony recently.

Who is Michelle Baker?

A Twitter rando.

Didn't watch the video as I am sure it is pretty gross.

But people sniffle their nose all the time. And that is just the liquid form of a booger. LOL

AFAIK.

@jon-nyc said in Another betting opportunity…:

I see three open CA races at 85%, 88%, and 93%.

Alaska at large seat is at 87%. ME 2 is at 90.

Why single out CA?

Why only look at open races? There are 12 Districts in CA that are still under 80% counted.

@Mik said in Is my dog racist?:

The dog’s brown. Maybe he knows something she doesn’t.

The FB person's dog is white, so that explains a lot.

@taiwan_girl

In the signature spot on the back of the credit card, I used to write "please ask for ID" rather than a signature. In some places, credit card stealing is a big deal, so tried to avoid that happening.

You have now jogged my memory…

come to think of it, that is exactly what the bank’s were advising and I accordingly did when I received the new card. That instruction on the back of the card is what triggered the clerk and his supervisor.

Unlikely.

That said, I’d take the Big Gray Dog before I’d fly Frontier.

@LuFins-Dad said in Could Anything Have Been Done Different?:

45% of women voted Trump.

Point taken. Easy to lose sight of this, with all the messaging that he hates women and wants control over their bodies. And that messaging is generally sourced from a female talking head.

Yep, he actually had a majority with white women.

What was Zimin doing in Belgrade in the first place? He ought to have known Serbia is an unsupervised sandbox for the Kremlin and its FSB and GRU hoods.
