When Muhammad Ali met Prince In June 1997, Muhammad Ali and Prince, two men who greatly admired each other, met for the first time. The man who introduced them tells the story.

Brilliant! 🤣

Popplagio is like that…at 9 min, then at 10 min, then at 11 min. It’s good it ended at 12 min or heads might explode..

FAA should flatly deny airport access to any Qatari-donated 747s on the basis of (unspecified) “national security”grounds.

I’ll consider an expressed intention to do that a litmus test for every Dem candidate for a President. To strip his name and grubby handprints off everything really.

I love Springsteen but I actually like the cover version more. Maybe just because I got used to it being like that first. Should I have confessed that?

I’d go a bit farther and say he “portrays” himself as a Christian Nationalist.Whatever core set of beliefs that label denotes, I have no idea whether he truly “believes” in them or whether he just sees this as a good way to advance his career at Fox and now in the Trump admin. I’d guess that latter.

Now they’ll all start spelling “rain” that way. Another reigny day!

Often at the gym I just put the song I’m Kissing You by Des’ree on repeat and think about that movie.

A person can actually learn to make a very nice signature without devoting school time to it. In fact, many of the very coolest signatures aren’t standard cursive at all. There are far more important things to be teaching.

DiCaprio was just a teenager in the 80s, so he wouldn’t have worked as the father.

Sad. I am just a regular guy with a deep and broad interest in science. I think I one of the coolest things is that I have, on a few occasions, emailed a question to some expert in some field and got a very generous and helpful response. Sounds like that might be yet another thing ruined by LLM/AI.

There should be a word for killing a bunch of civilians to achieve a political end.

It’s all performative. Manipulative. Zero chance Hegseth is actually guided by anything other than what he perceives as benefiting him. It’s just a useful tool. Just like Trump.

I do a lot of travel to foreign countries. When it becomes clear that I am American, I make certain no one ever has to wonder…first thing I do is apologize for Trump. I find I am welcome everywhere. I admire these Irish people for not wanting to waste their time with people like this.

Pretaliate!

Suspect he was home schooled

Netanyahu will be appreciative. He is running out of little children to kill in Gaza.

Brilliant!

His email been hacked?

One heath topic I’m pretty sure he will never ever mention is gluten.

Even if we were to return to rational governance today, after this unprecedented foray into destructive idiocy it will take years to restore faith in the system and to re-establish the research and development momentum that has been destroyed.

Or Prayer.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

John Ruskin was born on this day in 1819.

Ruskin was one of the most influential writers on art and architecture in 19th-century Britain.

The use of colour in art was important to Ruskin. He believed that the colours of the natural world could inspire and guide artists.

He attracts the kind of people who believe that NOTHING good enough for ordinary people will ever be good enough for them.

After years upon years of headaches w multiple Epsons, I bought the Brother a couple years ago. Several thousand pages on and I’ve not had a single issue.

The biggest shock for me is that Clarence Thomas isn’t in there. So far. Probably been redacted. With his penchant for porn, sexual harassment, and acceptance of favors from billionaires, seems like he’d be first in line.
