I may just borrow one from my brother for a while to see if it sticks.

@LuFins-Dad I think the general shape of intergenerational wealth shift is unchanged in the modern era but the timing has probably shifted considerably for the reasons you state - homeownership is a big chunk of middle class wealth as they age and younger generations are starting that much later.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Tyler Robinson Investigation: @Renauda said in Tyler Robinson Investigation: @Horace I prefer dunks on actual people who say actual things, but sure, we can dunk on imaginary people saying imaginary things too. Tell that to the current POTUS. He imagines a lot about not only people but countries and what he imagines the people in those countries say and do. I will refrain from any comments or observations the POTUS has made recently about groups of people and their real and imagined affiliations of a US domestic nature. You are most welcome to let your imagination run wild with what I wrote above. The obvious difference between my flight of fancy and those of The Greatest Living Human and his followers is that I acknowledged that it was a flight of fancy. Maybe if I'd stated that it was an Alternative Fact it would be more acceptable. Possibly probable.

Yeah, the article went into that. This has all the usual suspects, food dyes, chemical this and that, an entire quarry of sodium, etc.

This seems ill advised. The people who believe Israel had a role aren’t going to be persuaded by Bibi denying it. All this does is plant the idea in people’s heads who otherwise might not follow the fringes of magastan. https://x.com/israelipm/status/1968511432032391272?s=46

(Seems more appropriate to talk about this in this MAHA thread.) @jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics: Ax - You should stop asking him until RFK’s policies have time to metastasize. Presumably LD thinks dead kids is a worse outcome than transed kids so, assuming nobody stops RFK, LD will come around in time. Just like sometimes some people value certain principles more than life itself (e.g., "give me freedom or give me death," certain cultures would rather their daughters be dead rather than shamed), I have not rule out @LuFins-Dad won't have similarly firm conviction on the trans issue. The Texas measles outbreak haven't changed the minds of the anti-vaxx parents after all. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/us/politics/vaccine-mandates-covid-measles.html

What the more experienced blues men - musicians in general I suppose - learn is when not to play to leave space. With Clapton’s nerve challenges I’m sure he has as well. BB King is a great example.

@Mik & @LuFins-Dad I got that one, but missed the question about Madison and the Federal Papers.

Nah ... I won't be there for quite a while yet. Besides, that's more Aqua's style.

@jon-nyc said in TikTok: I suppose we’ll find out at some point though likely not soon. It is already wrong to state as understood fact that there will be no oversight of the code. And without certain cynical biases, it seems unlikely.

@Doctor-Phibes I do admit though that in when I saw a picture of his face posted in the news, it was immediately familiar. No idea from when or from what source. It was just familiar. Possible that he was on an interview or member of a panel discussion I watched sometime in the past number of years.

Ha! Here it is in 2013. Wow, what growth since then. [image: 1758199666193-6448b115-065a-4cb0-b07f-c58483a0547d-image.png]

@Doctor-Phibes said in I don’t think Matt Dowd will be the only news personality fired this week…: @Horace said in I don’t think Matt Dowd will be the only news personality fired this week…: Apparently he apologized today. I'm sure Jesus would be good with that. Those guys will forgive anything if you're sorry afterwards. It's part of what makes being a Christian so great. In theory, Jesus knows if someone is being disingenuous.

We need @Larry here to say that the fact that China has not placed ANY orders for US soybeans this year yet (and they generally buy 30(?)%) and cost of production for soybeans and corn is higher than selling price is a good thing for farmers. LOL

@Axtremus said in Deporation - Not Just for Spanish people any more: 2026 is less than four months away. How big a deal is it in the realm of multi-$billion construction projects? Yeah but they didn’t specify what month.

@Horace not sure if it’s marketing but I’ve heard Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest movie, One Battle After Another, is really great. Apparently an extremely hectic first hour too

@Horace Thank you, Horace! You are also a man of good taste. Your opinion is to be respected, too. It's good to be in your company.

I read it for the articles.
