@copper said in Inauguration attendance: The problem is that they closed the Mall. That is pretty serious. I think that property should the most open and free property in the world, including the Capitol and the whitehouse. Turning the area into a fortress started years before 9/11. That is really bad. Hell, the city itself is basically shutdown. The traffic notice signs on 495 are telling you not to travel into DC. That's a BFD.

There was a recent article about a guy who did a promotion video for bitcoin when it first started and he was paid with like 1000 bitcoins, which at the time was worth $1000 or so. He kind of forgot about it, and has recently tried to access it. I guess you get 10 tries with your password, and if you fail and all the attempts, you are permanently locked out. He is a try number eight right now!

Odds are I would ignore it Although my daughter works in the ED, it might be fun to surprise her

@mik said in Fish in Venice: Very cool. I wonder what KIND of fish they are. Are they bottom feeders picking up the crud of decades? Are the fish cleaning the canals? Yep, I was thinking the same questions. (Great mind think alike. Lol)

I am pretty sure the announcer and then video clip is female. She is the main news reader for the DPRK news, and is quite well-known there. If you ever watch any DPRK news bulletins, she is generally the one giving him. She has been there a long time. Time.

True. Chicago’s problems are even worse and there’s less visibility.

It will be interesting to see how Biden approaches the Middle East, if he seeks to expand the nations normalizing relations with Israel.

@jon-nyc said in Traveling to the inauguration?: @loki If you were at the march but didn't breech the capitol I doubt you have anything to worry about. I mean, assuming you weren't assaulting cops or whatever. Off duty police from across the country who attended the rally are being outed and their social media posts not just of the rally exposed. Just saw that this morning. I think buzzfeed.

@george-k said in "Kitbag": all the while he was waging a romantic war with his adulterous wife Josephine. He conquered the world to try to win her love Oh, FFS.

@doctor-phibes said in Video of Magat vermin beating cops: treasonous traitor Redundantly redundant.

This thread is womentally draining.

Heh, the warmth is a big part of what I like in a whiskey. It’s the biggest reason why I prefer Monongahela Rye and Dad’s Hat in particular. The heat doesn’t go away on the second or even third sips.

@jolly said in Trump in a few months: @mik said in Trump in a few months: @loki said in Trump in a few months: No clue. I can see both sides of this. Anyone who thinks they know is kidding themselves. Yep. It's all up to him. If he wants to stay in the public eye he knows how. Oh, he's coming, unless he gets a helluva deal. Trump has an entire movement (conservative populism) behind him. My prediction is that Trump is going to go the same way that Bruce Jenner went. He's already dying his hair and spraying his face like a Hollywood housewife. Rumour has it he sprays Chanel No. 5. on what's left of his knob. Remember, folks, you heard it here first.

Sid: "So you think you're pretty special with your claws, eh Boris? Take a look at these claws, whydon'cha. Yeah, and I can fly, too. You got nuthin' on me, kitty."

Wrongthink. Don't worry, AOC will fix this so it doesn't happen again.

The precedent is as terrible as the situation.

@jolly wow. That sounds tempting!

@lufins-dad said in What the hell were they thinking?: I'm also willing to bet that the guys that walked off with this stuff weren't running around wearing flag paraphernalia and Don't Tread on Me shirts, but were probably in suit and tie or uniform and looked like they belonged there and would not have been stopped... Maybe like Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, or Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi or, if in uniform, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis?

The new House on Unamerican Activities Commitee. Maybe they will use McCarthy’s playbook.
