He bankrupted a casino. And a lot of other stuff. He bought the Plaza Hotel for wife #1, also a bad deal.

Maybe take that behavior and give it a different context. De Niro & Stller n Meet the Fokker were fun.

I saw a suggestion to write "is a pedophile" under his signature when those bills start showing up. People write lots of other stuff on paper currency, so why not?

Same damn thing in the leadup to Bush II's Iraq war.

Thank you for posting this.

I saw a NYT article that said "thousands" demonstrated nationwide, whereas there were actually many individual events with 10s of thousands and a few with 100s of thousands. 8 million is a far cry from "thousands." WTF? 3 orders of magnitude low.

Fox & Friends lately: "Food prices are going up" said the brunette lady. "Could we get some kind of subsidy for fruit, vegetables & meat?" Snap! SNAP!!

Why do they say "thousands of demonstrators"? It was millions. WTF? Just like back when there were demonstrations against invading Iraq. People studied the aerials & found the reported numbers to be way low.

These days, it seems that hardly anyone thinks climate is an issue. Aren’t we lucky to have love spring weather a couple months early? Local TV weather lady said that lately.

Live at the Minnesota Capitol: Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers perform at No Kings rally YouTube video by KARE 11

Grateful to the Boss, been a fan since before many here were born. But my favorite moment was Tom Morello. Song starts 4:45, he comes in abt 7:00. Also Joan Baez & Maggie Rogers.

I am wondering why the article talks about "hundreds" of protestors in DC. You're a news outfit, glad to repeat unfounded claims of sinister funding for these events. Did you bother to look into whether it's true or not, or are you satisfied to repeat Trump admin statements without any question?

Does anyone know where to find a map showing just the new first-time No Kings demos? There's something like 1200 new ones, so it will be a fairly busy map all by itself.

Perusing #NoKings events map ahead of showing up later today, I find myself wishing there were a map showing just the new ones. First time events. Anybody know where to find that? Or even if it exists?

He doesn't think anybody's been treated worse than he has. Nothing he's done to hurt anybody else comes close to his endless personal grievances.

Especially if you're a public figure, you must write emails, texts &c as if they'll be made public.

Caveat: Tracking cookies are opt-out for Versant. Dunno if it is required every time

Art & science are both, in different ways, about identifying and examining assumptions.

I'm too old for them to care about but... I've been watching CBS Sunday Morning & 60 Minutes for damn near 50 years; DVRing for 20+. I've quit recording, quit watching. Sunday was already diluted by recycled weekday stories, fewer specials & features. Weiss was the last straw.

Albuquerque typical 1st day over 90 degrees is May 2. Happened already this year. Will be more this month. Ski areas closing early due to melt. Very little H2O for irrigation. Worry about fire season abounds

Hey, #NewMexico folks. I just called Senator @heinrich.senate.gov to say that friendly working ties with #MarkWayne on tribal bison act is nice, but does not qualify him to run immigration. Reminded him I'm voter, donor & long-time support who is POed. Here's the DC office # to call: 202-224-5521

That's the kind of thing copy editors should catch, even if the writer is too lazy to check that they have it right.

Does NYer have copy editors any more? Kang got a simple fact wrong, 1st paragraph, making the rest of article questionable. Country Joe did NOT play at Woodstock w/the Fish. Just him w/acoustic guitar, rope for its strap. Easy to check on YouTube, folks. I was there; I remember it all too well.

Thx. Found some in other posts. Experience I bring is MidEast studies 1970s w/lefty Iranian friends ("we underestimated the strength of religious conservatism in rural areas"); female co-worker 1980s from highly privileged family under the Shah. All stayed, now retired US citizens.

Um, I don't know these acronyms. Could you make a reply that spells out JTF and JIPOE in particular? I'm trained in fish biology and this stuff didn't come up. (Though there's a decades-old story about Israelis paranoically blowing up some flashlight fish in the Gulf of Aqaba one moonless night...)

Our first cherry blossoms are out. And this:

Been thinking about calling Schumer's office to ask if thinks more about the welfare and needs of Israeli Jews or of Native Americans, roughly the same population #, but one group are Americans. (We all know the answer.)

"No amount of $$$ can make up for bad taste" was what I said to myself upon visiting Hearst Castle. Pretty much the same for this thing. BTW, football field is 57,600 ft sq incl end zones. Who needs party room 1 1/2x the size of a football field?

And Kavanaugh’s decision said that gifts to Supreme Court Justices are “tips”

For me, it was a single #MeToo rape derailing my PhD quest. Ultimately, I'm happy with my life now & it wouldn't be so without that life-changing episode. There were rough years & I'm way more supportive than I'd be without that experience. GLP-1 finally defeating the associated weight gain. Yay!

Back when Rudy was Mayor, it was declared that break dancing was dangerous to health. Public dancing required permit henceforth. Somebody - drag queens was it? - organized a mile-long conga line in protest
