Hmm. DB-9 was such overwhelmingly common usage, I think it swamps out the original designation here.

Not DB? I've only seen 9 and 15. 3 is bizarre.

Dunno, to me he looks totally pissed-off now.

Why the F did they ever have them in the first place?

New version of "Time Enough At Last" with post-apolictic Scalzi discovering a vast warehouse of Honeycomb and churros, but then suddenly developing Celiac disease and can't eat carbs.

It means that (aside from the oligarchs and people in the E.Files) 69M are gullible enough to believe all the right-wing spin.

Please tell me Kamala isn't running again. I voted for her last time (duh)but she basically handed it to Drumph, because too many of our idiot voters couldn't bring themselves to vote for a "black" woman. Yes, I said that out loud. This MUST be about winning, not about who's your dream candidate.

There's a chunk of them who've been brainwashed to believe the exact opposite, despite what they should be able to see with their own eyes.

For a couple of decades I've wondered what kind of crap has been preached in "churches". Is that what's winding these idiots up, or just right-wing media, social and otherwise. But I have no desire whatsoever to go undercover to find out.

These days i would trust CBC over the BBC. Good suggestion - I'll look them up.

It's amazing how much breaking news I hear first from you - thanks! :-)

Where are they gonna put it? The border runs right down the middle of the Rio Grande.

a close up of a man 's face with blue eyes and a shadow on his face . Alt: Bill Bixby, turning into Hulk for the 1st time.

Just had my 2nd radiation treatment. Found out the MRI machine has a freakin' linear accelerator built into it to generate the radiation. I SO want my superpower by now. Hulk, Spiderman, whatever.

We'd need to kick out all the jerks who make a living by spinning people up and fear-mongering for profit.

Happy year of the horse...
...Blucher!...

I'd love for her to be president. But there are so many morons out there, I think we'd need to get the non-voting third of the public off their asses to stand a chance. But this administration seems to be going out of their way to do just that.

99 Red Balloons is now running through my head.

I am in no way defending the scumbags, but Define "Referenced"

Let the victims do what redactions they want then release it all

I wonder if Miller, Putin, etc. now after seeing him at Davos, wish they had a puppet with an actual brain.

Where's WikiLeaks when you need them?

Um, looks to me like at 55 or higher, it actually gets *easier*. (Said from the vantagepoint of a 67 year-old eyeing Canada.)

Most people take 1984 to be a cautionary tale. The GOP take it as a blueprint.

I'm sure the music studios will jump right on putting out releases on wire. 😀

One of the many things I love about reading your works is that the words smoothly flow off the page into my brain, never hitting a brick wall, forcing me to re-read a line because it didn't scan. Then next I read a $0.99 novel cranked out in a hurry and regret it every few pages.

Like a Productive Cough?

Tell me about it. Im a Texas democrat - my vote hasn't counted for much for most of my life.

With those old time photos, I wonder what took place the next second, when the black-powder flash went off and startled the cat.

Muted-tortie on a blanket, looking to her left.

Damn.
We just had to say goodbye to Arya. She was not quite 7, but had stopped eating or drinking. It turned out her kidneys were enormous, and bloodwork showed her numbers were beyond the point of recovery.
I always figured she would be the one to make it to her 20s. She will be sorely missed.

Just encountered a snake at our back gate, which then slithered under the car. Apparently it was a Yellow Belly Racer. Fine, just surprising. We've lived here about 40 years and have never seen a snake on the property.
