  1. Threats do have an impact on the threatener sometimes.
  2. He's almost like the people in the Society Islands on James Cook's third voyage who were really into some red feathers he brought from one of his previous stops. Except in this he's interested in things with his image on them that celebrate him.
  3. My dad who is 95 was telling me that he and another guy in his 80s were both kidding/worried about being deported to the UK and the Netherlands respectively because their parents immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. White privilege I guess
  4. 1. Of course these crass asshats did.. also 2. did you screen shot that? I forgot that was an option.. bsky's lack of ease of recycling good posts is hurting it but maybe also helping it not be a vessel for misinformation and other hijinks.
  5. The PRC are sure to play Trump like all the other moguls.
  6. Yeah, we kept begging for at least one unforced error in this game and the only one that comes to mind is the first 4th down play. Their kicker missed a FB at the end but pffft. That was just a physical error.
  7. This scene has resonated with me since November
  8. Ditto. My plan as such is to do as much good as possible where it can be done and not violate the oaths we've taken because we are responsible for our own honor and can't help it if the system is rewarding the worst violators of those oaths. I was planning to return to Michigan when the wife retires from federal service in a couple years. So, we shall see.
  9. Allowing Tik Tok to continue in the United States in current configuration is like giving the Japanese spies at Pearl Harbor in 1941 radios because the Japanese Government stroked FDR's ego really hard, maybe gave him substantial cash concessions and that he was in the White House in the first place because of the LOLZ. Those spies might have told Yamamoto to wait a day until the Enterprise had returned. Remains to be seen if the United States can survive a thugocracy for another 4 years
  10. Defense was unable to make up for terrible Goff game.
  11. Tim Allen is less funny as Archie
  12. Tik Tok down until the PRC opens up their pocket book
  13. The media being cowed by Trump is going to do a lot of work to blanket over him selling wristwatches, plates, Hummel figurines, and whatever trash bearing his name image and likeness while he's taking office.
  14. TV and movies were better with cocaine addicts doing the acting, writing and the greenlighting. JK
  15. That was an amazing time. I got to see him pitch but it was the next year. He won and he was pretty good but we didn't know he was on his way to injury shortened career. Watching the replay of that Yankee game and seeing how electric the stadium was was amazing. As for your memory same here. But there is a side benefit of putting a gallon jug of memories into the shot glass of the here and now. My daughter was at a high school theater improv competition last night and my wife in the audience (she was there, I was not), told me because she more life experiences to draw from she was thinking of ideas for the kids way before the kids on stage were thinking things up. Whatever that would be worth to you, dunno.
  16. He’s sure flacking a lot of merch for a guy who wants to avoid the appearance of impropriety. :—)
  17. Well this mole is serving the PLA and PRC intelligence.
  18. The Tik Tok model exists elsewhere. Doesn’t make elsewhere any less egregious. The PRC has weaponized Tik Tok and is using it to influence and to collect very very valuable data.
  19. Damn right
  20. I see my name mentioned…hope people weren’t making threats again.
  21. Not to be extra cynical about such things but we would get at least 1 3rd round comp pick for Glenn, would we get another for Staley? I had heard PODcast talking about this the other day while coworkers were telling me to evacuate the building because of a nerve gas attack (writer’s embellishment). So i don’t recall what they said on the POD.
