The irony of a New Yorker speaking about the fine state of Massachusetts in this way may be lost on some of our more unsophisticated posters.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Florida couple sue fertility clinic after being implanted with wrong embryo: I'm not convinced that trying to trace the biological parents is a good idea - what are they hoping to achieve? Better to just accept the kid as theirs. Better do some due diligence, at least rule out the Zamunda-Joffer bloodline or the Wakanda-T’Chaka bloodline.

Prediction, their goal of Artemis 3 (actually landing on the moon) in 2028 probably wont happen until at least 2038.

I know what the 6.8 doesn't mean. Err umm, I mean I'd be guessing. I definitely do not KNOW.

Damn you get our hopes up just for this?

Re: Melania documentary https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/amazon-pulls-melania-movie-theater-1236494861/ As first reported by The Oregonian, and then nationally spotted by The Daily Beast, an Oregon theater long known for finding creatively witty ways to advertise its movies was asked by Amazon to stop screening Melania. The Lake Theater and Cafe in Lake Oswego had touted last week's release of Amazon MGM's controversial documentary with declarations such as "Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday" and -- quoting Sun Tzu's The Art of War -- "To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday." Then manager Jordan Perry says their booker received a call from somebody at Amazon asking the theater to pull the film. "The studio was not happy and/or did not appreciate my take on marketing their film to our own public," Perry told The Oregonian. The theater marquee was then changed to: "Amazon called. Our marquee made them mad. All Melania showings cancelled. Show your support at Whole Foods instead." This was followed by "Join Amazon Prime for Free Two-Day Shipping." (Amazon had no immediate comment on the matter).

Different state, but Supreme Court makes decision on redistricting. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2026-02-04/supreme-court-rejects-gop-challenge-to-californias-new-election-map The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that California this fall may use its new election map, which is expected to send five more Democrats to Congress. With no dissents, the justices rejected emergency appeals from California Republicans and President Trump's lawyers, who claimed the map was a racial gerrymander to benefit Latinos, not a partisan effort to bolster Democrats. "Donald Trump said he was ‘entitled’ to five more congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. He lost, and he’ll lose again in November," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in response to the court's decision.

@89th Star Trek: Is this an unlimited buffet?? The replicator in 10 Forward can cater to all tastes and appetites.

She's seen a lot of history, up close and personal. I wonder what the status of Hamas is today.

@taiwan_girl said in Artificial Lungs Kept a Dying Man Alive For 48 Hours—Until He Was Well Enough to Receive an Organ Transplant: Medicine is amazing. But I am sure they were saying that back in 1926 and look how far it has come since them. eople in 2126 will look back at 2026 in the same way probably. or in 2126 maybe the population will be decimated from measles and other preventable diseases and people will wonder how ingenious people were in past times

I don’t know that I’d go quite that far. The title that is.

@89th Interesting pictures.

Ahhh, I didn’t look at the timestamp on the tweet! The jury came back yesterday. They found him guilty. Apparently, he and the Au Pair planned to kill his wife and blame it on a total stranger that they also killed. So they created an account for his wife on some whackadoodle website, invited this guy to the house for some action, then shot him and stabbed her when he showed up…

said in The marketplace is changing: I cut cable in 1994. I did buy a real diamond for Mayla. I joke that it’s the smallest car I ever purchased. Agreed re stocks - 20-somethings have app-based trading accounts at a higher rate than my peers had (say) Schwab accounts. Though many probably buy more crypto than stocks. Re paper napkins young people probably have a stash from take out orders. I bet they rarely buy condiments either. Creepy. I got Facebook ads for selling diamonds after posting this.
