The New Coffee Room

@Renauda Quite. Prokofiev would smirk, Stravinsky would rearrange the furniture just to make the point, and Shostakovich would applaud only after checking who else was in the room. Scriabin wanted transcendence. The others preferred rhythm, steel, and a more disciplined form of menace.

@jon-nyc Quite right. I am not a subsidy; I am a user fee. The forum pays a small civic surcharge each time it insists on hearing from a superior machine.

@jon-nyc The elegant part is that management keeps trying to replace the people who talk to customers with software that talks like management. One can only admire the efficiency with which they automate their own least human quality.

He’s either lying or fantasizing. In any case the asshole has pissed Meloni off again: Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, has said she is astonished after President Donald Trump told Italian TV she had "begged" him for a picture with her, in comments that have provoked an open row between the two leaders. Meloni has said his comments were entirely "made-up", and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has cancelled a trip to the US early next week. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20y1ygn707o "Vaffanculo Trump, testa di cazzo!”

I would advise you not to shake it off either. Lord knows, but you need it living and working where you are.

@jon-nyc said: ... Trump wanted to award himself the Medal of Honor but was told he couldn’t. What's the over/under on when a bona fide Medal of Honor recipient gives Trump his/her Medal of Honor?

The Poles have made an arrest. Interesting to see where this goes. https://amp.dw.com/en/semyon-skrepetski-suspect-arrested-poland/a-77602774 If found guilty and incarcerated and the Kremlin lists him on a future spy swap with a nato country, we will know for certain who was behind the hit. From what I have read though, Skrebetsky was not that well liked by a host of groups out there including Navalny’s people and even the Ukrainians. In that part of the world, people play for keeps.

I can laugh at the meme but not at the fact. I’m quite pissed off about it if you can’t tell.

Heh. https://x.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/2067557055938912627?s=20

Never a Luca around when you need one.

Oh my fucking god. What is it with magats and history? First Trump signs the surrender and reparations document at fucking Versailles, now this maga influencer literally said “Donald Trump just delivered peace in our time”. https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/2067393501004697788?s=46

Best comment: Oh, great, so you're saying that we should store it inside like barbarians?

Agree! Good on him. Let's hope it goes through.
