Looks like a nice house. But, I always worry about houses near rivers and the possible flooding.

@89th said in State Farm vs. Newsom: @LuFins-Dad said in State Farm vs. Newsom: In fact, the biggest cause for the increase in wildfires in CA are due to the government no longer suppressing them as they did in the first half of the 20th century…due to the thinking that the fired are a part of the natural cycle in California and that the fires allow for regrowth and are particularly helpful for sequoias. Guess I’m out of it. I heard the increase in wildfires is BECAUSE they are suppressed too much and not naturally burning the way they used too. Controlled burns ARE 1 step of suppression. There’s a difference between controlled burns and wildfires. It’s in the name. But there are multiple other components as well.

And it's Jon's nightmare that by that time he'll be humming Hail to the Chief, after attending Trump's Inauguration Ball. Hope he has a good time. I suspect Jon can acquit himself well on the ballroom floor...

We had dinner with Jewish friends last night. The conversation was lively!

OMG…are you suggesting we grow up? Quelle horreur!

@George-K said in UK Election: big win for Labour: @AndyD said in UK Election: big win for Labour: lefties like Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott but they seem to serve their local population So voting for avowed anti-Semites is ok as long as they meet your local needs? No, agreed, but people have to choose. You certainly wouldn't want a racist, bigot, misandrist or misogynist voted in as a leader, just as you wouldn't want a convicted criminal, or frail old person. The last 14 years have been pretty awful for Britain, from Dodgy Dave Cameron, throughout the farce that was Boris Johnson and 'era' of Liz Truss, to self-serving Sunak, its been all too easy to discern their lies and read about their shady deals. And Farage is right up there with the worst of them. The idea that he will serve his electorate of Clacton who he insulted only 8 weeks before standing & becoming their MP is surely rather optimistic.

@jon-nyc said in SCOTUS: Chevron Overruled: “some of the things they are saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal” “I wish them luck” As jolly says, he’s consistent. I take it as he’s saying it sardonically… Yeah, good luck with that

I Googled "Fat American Eating Pizza" and it was quite a bit more representative of reality.

There’s been no hawk tuah here. I was a little surprised. This showed up in my inbox in 6/23. [image: 1720232760041-ee8e710c-f9a0-4fd3-b094-62a368271d17.jpeg] They continued for a week after that easily.

@Renauda

Disgusting.

@George-K said in Beat The Cheat!: I gotta get my printer some new toner. BRB..... Be careful about the down ballot.

Nothing that an application of club soda and clean cloth dab or, if stubborn, isopropanol and sodium bicarbonate paste can’t remove. Move along.

Let’s see how tonight goes. Personally, I feel like the decision was made long ago, and now we are just watching the show they built around it.
