    But the toadying is nauseating, and the refusal of those on the right to criticize Trump and his gang for their obvious mistakes is ridiculous.

    I hope he goes public with some more details about his interactions with RFK that led him to conclude that truth and transparency has no place. I'm will listen, but until then, we have one side of a story that began with Dr Marks being asked to leave, by RFK.

    @jon-nyc said in Gen Z? More like Gen Trump.: @Horace said in Gen Z? More like Gen Trump.: The "master of practical wisdom" framing is your own, or, more accurately, the story you tell yourself a direct quote of Horace 1.0. If you say so.

    Jingye, the Chinese steel group that owns the plant, blamed Donald Trump as it announced plans to shut key operations, putting up to 2,700 jobs at risk. It said the “imposition of tariffs” had made the blast furnaces and steel making operations “no longer financially sustainable”. The closures signal the end of steel production in the UK after more than 150 years. Nice.

    Student: With the UGM its all about our journey in life, not the destination. He beleives we need to take time to enjoy the little things becuase life is short and you never gonna know what happens. Sometimes he contradicts himself cause sometimes you say one thing but then you think something else later. It’s all relative. Truth, wisdom, profundity. We’re told to meet the students where they are, flip the classroom, use multimedia, just be more entertaining, get better. As if rearranging the deck chairs just the right way will stop the Titanic from going down. Really disappointed in this professor for using a cliched analogy like that. In seriousness, interesting piece.

    @jodi said in TNCR about to turn 20: Piano world was going in 1998, maybe a little before that. I started asking about pianos there before we went to Colorado in 1999/2000. I bought my piano in 2000. What was the other board that was active back then, rmmp? Dewey and Larry came over from there. The three boards at that time were RMMP, Mr. Land's and PW. I remember well when you bought the CW.

    Folks...Tesla is as much a data company as a car company. Once you understand that, you'll understand a lot about Elon.

    @jon-nyc said in Glad the free speech folks are in charge: They want a kind master. That’s certainly the case, to a person, with the maga movement. Hence the tie-in with monotheistic religious fervor.

    @Jolly said in Eggs > Fentanyl: Egg prices have dropped and are still dropping, NPR. It was always a temporary situation. Not worth fretting about.

    What really gets me is how "natural" these guys seem doing the music. It's almost as though they speak the same language without trying. When I try music...I have to learn the alphabet all over again.

    I’m old enough to remember the air traffic controllers striking. Also here it’s the subway guys even though it’s illegal.
