@jon-nyc oddly enough, where I grew up, that was the symbol for wanker

He has. It just comes out of his mouth instead.

@taiwan_girl said in "New" Queen: Interesting how some music people write many more songs than they use on "albums" and others only write what they release. As you say, not unusual, at all. If you look at Lennon - McCartney's early stuff, there's a lot of songs that he "gave away" to other performers. "From a Window" "Nobody I Know." "World Without Love" "Bad to Me" "Woman" "I Don't Want to See You Again." Also, all of these hits were recorded by only two groups: Peter & Gordon, and Billy J. Kramer."

@Axtremus said in 30% of iPhone users...: @George-K , easy solution: get two Apple Watches. Right, @Horace ? That’s why God gave us two wrists. Also cargo shorts for storing multiple iPhones.

I thought you might.

@Klaus said in Hay Cats! Your "All the letters in the alphabet" post of the day.: Now I'm waiting for Lorem Ipsum to happen, too. LOL

I think Presdient Biden is not "all there", but I have heard him say previously that he believed that his son brain cancer was caused by exposure to the garbage burn piles they used. So, in a very roundabout way, he may be correct. (I think it is pretty much known now that those garbage burn piles left some really nasty stuff in the air for the soldiers to breathe.)

@LuFins-Dad said in Top Twenty: Just made me realize how truly awful the show is… I haven't watched it in decades. But I assume it is still true that if you get into the SNL cast you are all set, you are made. There is no longer any real need to deliver, it is SNL after all. Just show up, get your name in lights, then sit back and enjoy the celebrity.

@jon-nyc No interest from our son either.

@George-K said in Westworld?: @xenon being retired, I have the luxury of spending time recapping stuff. So, when season 4 dropped, I realized I had no clue of what was going on, so I rewatched 3 to get a sense of plot and continued straightaway into 4. Dolores...wow. Wild ride, to be sure, eh? It's one of those shows where I can't make up my mind about who I like and don't like. I like that.

Where’s the Extinction Rebellion when you need it?

Maybe you can get PP to stuff them full of dead baby parts. Consider it a two-fer.

This popped up in my feed - a blast from the past. How an FBI Team in Rome Gave Steele Highly Guarded Secrets The report by Inspector General Michael Horowitz details how a team of FBI agents in early October 2016 shared with Steele extensive classified materials, just weeks before the bureau cut off ties with him for leaking his own research to the media. The secrets included foreign intelligence information still considered so sensitive that the IG’s report refers to it even now only as coming from a “Friendly Foreign Government.” In fact, this is a reference to Australia. That country’s ambassador to Britain sent the United States a tip about loose talk by junior Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos. The FBI has described that as the predicate for its Trump-Russia investigation. The IG report also discloses that FBI agents knew Steele worked for Glenn Simpson, whose opposition research firm Fusion GPS was paying Steele to dig up dirt on Trump for the Clinton campaign, and that Steele informed the FBI that the “candidate” – Clinton herself – knew about Steele’s work. Steele did not keep to himself the classified material he had learned from the FBI. Shortly after the Rome meeting, Steele briefed Simpson on what the FBI had disclosed to him. The FBI’s disclosures to Steele -- described on pages 114-115 and in footnote 513, and supported on pages 386-390 and footnotes 252 and 513, deep in Horowitz’s report – were violations of laws governing the handling of classified material, according to the Inspector General and experts in national security law who spoke with RealClearInvestigations. Oh, according to the IG, the FBI broke the law.

As soon as I saw the first boat I had an idea of the punch line. That is just how the internet works.
