@George-K said in So now what?: Does the GOP Senate eliminate the filibuster? Does Trump appoint 10 conservative justices to SCOTUS? Will Jamie Raskin refuse to certify the election? Will cries of "save democracy" die in spite of the popular vote? Because that's how it works, right? Will Martin Sheen cut another Electoral College commercial? Link to video And most importantly, will Bette Midler have a drink? https://x.com/BetteMidler/status/1853636033029505335 Hey, has anybody heard from Bette? I haven't seen anything and her X account has been deleted...

@Jolly said in AI - killing writing skill: @Aqua-Letifer said in AI - killing writing skill: Don't get me fucking started. It's a rainy morning here. Perhaps the same is true at your house. Perfect weather for a good book or a bad blonde (other hair colors may be substituted). Either of the above selections is a great way to start the day and lightens a man's mood. Well, for me and what I do, AI is kind of like the herpes of social ills. You can ignore it sometimes, but it's always around. Oh yes, it's not going anywhere. But yeah, you're right. It's actually been near 80 for the past couple of days—today's the first step toward something closer to normalcy. Recently went through Tolkien's Sir Gawain, which if you ask me is a ton better than Simon Armitage's, poet laureate or not. Up next is his translation of Pearl. I don't even know if that's really all that possible, so it'll be fun to see where he took it. (He did lecture on it, back in the day.)

@Aqua-Letifer said in PhD in Breakdancing?: @Horace said in PhD in Breakdancing?: Now broken dancing can heal. Are you saying she is a heel? Because I think you're right. I try not to use such strong language, but I think you’re right.

Perfect.

It’s not obvious that celebrity endorsements aren’t actually counter productive. But then again hulk hogan played a bigger role for Trump than any celebrity did for Harris.

One has to wonder why someone would release the bear into the wild after maybe their whole life in a zoo. Seems cruel.

May have to rethink fengshui, but I wouldn't mind as long as it is safe and comfortable (and affordable).

@Renauda said in It's dead, Jim: *bitumen or oilsand never “tar sand”. LOL. Thanks!!!

When you live this far north DST is wholly unnecessary anytime if the year. This time if however it’s justvplain dangerous for the reason jon posted above. No daylight until 9 am. I can live with changing the clock twice every year.

The line in the article ‘those who would want it already have one’ reminds me of my situation. My dad always assumed I’d take his Steinway. But then I got my Bosie. He wanted to give it to my sister but she didn’t have the room for it. So we ended up donating it to a local music school.

@Copper 555

We should have.

It’s not intuitive that the effect of a poll is to create votes in conformance with the poll. If a surprise poll came out and it made me think my side was losing, it would motivate me to vote.

@George-K is smart and proves it yet again. Alot of it sounds like, "I am going to go after people who dont like me" Why not "crack down on government workers who collude with the leftright-wing media to create false narratives" for example? (Though I actually dont agree with term limits unless the value is quite high, like 20 years or so)
