The New Coffee Room

She’s 10 seconds away from a finger snap…

Maybe that was just his way of saying ‘no’.

There's a street around the corner from us where a bunch of rich people live, and quite a few of those houses are lit up. I quite enjoy it, TBH. Obviously, it's not particularly classy, but it's kind of fun. Not really worth getting upset over. If it upsets the HOA, all the better (we don't have any of that rubbish here in the wastelands of semi-rural Rhode Island).

RIP Gene Hackman.

If that article is even close to correct I support shutting it down.

[image: govspending_totalSpending-_700px.jpg] Sorry, the captions did not post. Not sure why. The above graph is federal spending starting Jan 20 for 2023 (gray line), 2024 (light green line) and 2025 (dark green line). Federal spending is UP USD$154 BILLION compared to the previous two years at teh same time. Of course, maybe it is early in the process.................... . https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-doge-government-spending-increases-5903992d

Yeah, Brody overstayed his welcome. I might not have minded if he had anything remotely interesting to say. I do want to see The Brutalist though. Oh, and according to the actress winner from Anora, the next group we need to elevate to normalcy is sex workers. FFS.

https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/moon-landing-private-spacecraft-second-time-week-rcna194919 For the second time in less than a week, a privately built U.S. spacecraft will attempt to land on the moon. The robotic lander, dubbed Athena, was developed by the Texas-based company Intuitive Machines. It launched into space on Feb. 26 and has spent the past week journeying to the moon. At roughly the size of a dishwasher, the six-legged craft aims to touch down at a site in the moon’s south polar region, then spend a week looking for the possible presence of water ice below the lunar surface. The landing is scheduled for Thursday at 12:32 p.m. ET. NASA TV will broadcast a live stream of the event beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET. Less than one hour away. https://plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-video/intuitive-machines-2-lunar-landing/

Sounds about right. Politician, not a cop. That's why it makes so much sense to appoint people with "no experience" to head up large agencies. The ones with the experience, are the de facto politicians. That's how they rose to the top, and got the resumes that show all that experience.

He checks through periodically.

Better than funding Gaza hip-hop.

I don’t feel safe with Harry in America.

I don’t mind Collinsworth.

I actually think it’s less of a hassle for President Trump to attend the Super Bowl than it is for Candidate Trump to attend Sunday Night Football. The security at the SB is already incredibly tight.

Oh man very cool.

@jon-nyc said in Historic: Man Wins Argument With Woman: Thanks for confirming that right wing news sources aren’t reporting the December 18th announcement of the 1.3B and 10k troops. Thanks for confirming that the legacy media is not noting the additional $200B, Canada declaring the cartels terrorist organizations, and the Fentanyl Czar. I think the terrorists declaration was what he was really after, along with the attention.

I think it’s all about enjoyment of music and learning something fun from a 6 yr old’s point of view. Something she’ll sit down at not just to practice lessons but to play with, experiment with, develop her ear for, sing with. It was way too formal and painful when I was a kid. That old wooden upright. My 65 yr old friend has a keyboard her daughter once used and I noticed girly pink flower stickers on it. If I had a redo as a parent, sure, why not? It’s all about enjoyment of music.

@George-K said in Let's make those fat people pay: When I went into private practice in a more blue-collar-ish community, I could walk into a room and also tell. Skinny legs, dry skin, a bit twitchy. Actually, that might be the crackheads. Funnily enough, I once commented to one of our admins that one of the senior managers looked like a smoker, but I'd never seen him with one. She gave me an awkward look and said she didn't want to say anything. I later learned that he smoked voluminous quantities of weed after hours.

Now I want to go find and watch the Milton Berle episode.

Yes, more births are great. Illegal entry to the country is not. Let them in, make them legal, give them a tax bill.
