Not a hard problem. You lie to it. It's a BABY ... people lie to it all the time. Whatever the ask is this time, lie to it.

After landing, of course, you spike that baby hard into the turf before it grows up to be a Trump or something.

If democracy is going to work at all, it has to work in spite of a bothersome share of folks like this chronically beclowning themselves.

Fraser was born in the USA (Indianapolis). Came of age in Seattle area.

Closer to my wheelhouse, I've known some hundreds of homeless people without finding one who prefers "persons experiencing homelessness".

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

In 2016: “By a 5-to-4 vote along partisan lines, the order halted President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, his signature environmental policy.

Living just a stone's throw from Chorus Frog Lane, we get quite the nightly performance from diverse species around our seasonal backyard pond.

Debris suggests there was an impact, not necessarily major, with another vehicle.

I once saw a big-ass SUV fall over after a very minor bump at very low speed on level ground. High center of gravity and all that.

Good question. On current supply, we released strategic reserves and waived Russia sanctions. Recession prospects may dampen future demand. Anything else?

Against credible threats of shut-in wells, bombed out ports & processors, it feels like market makers are whistling past the graveyards.

Remarkable expression of DJT's pervasive ignorance of both commonplace religious symbolism and conventional medical practice.

Most of us - Christian or not, religious or not, MAGA or not - get the message, and find that message ~~disturbing~~.

New? No.
News? Yes.

KALSHI: "WE OPERATE UNDER [our convenient interpretation of] U.S. LAW"

"... so supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — ... supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way ..."

OK, that would explain how he gets those radiation burns on his hands.

Any idea who he's healing? That's not Uncle Sam, is it?

In similar fashion, the Farsi idiom "Death to [x]" as in "Death to America", "Death to the Shah", "Death to Daylight Saving Time" simply means "Down with [x]", and not literally "Let's kill America/Shah/DST/etc.".

Further, what "everybody kind of knows" isn't always true.

Not far back, emerging prospects were regularly rumored gay if male or sleeping with higher-ups if female.

Not automatic these days, but there's still some distance between hearing and knowing.

No cards, but an impressive set of lawn darts.

You need an Eka.

My Eka lets me calculate arbitrary volumes - aat least of anything mall enough to drown in a bathtub.

When you have your Eka, you'll know.

Perfect photo. Caption?

Trump avoided national service in tie of war by paying off a medic for a "bone spurs" Dx, but a proper memorial to his reign could be as simple as a monumental depiction of fallen arches.

Better than Colby.

Root beer isn't real.

When is was real (pre 1960) it was wonderful, and carcinogenic.

And the fellow who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer ... he must have been Haitian too?

HOLY SEE, BATMAN!
