If they’re employing any kind of strategy, I gotta think they’re hoping/planning for delayed mid-terms

Yes, and if she were POTUS, the military would be in the streets only on Memorial and Veterans’ Days, and we’d all be posting β€œHey look guys, it’s Friday tomorrow!”

Trump taking another page from the Putin playbook. Trump may be Putin’s bitch, but that didn’t stop him from learning how to carve up a country

Beautiful! Helps understand why it’s so expensive.

Bring it BACK? Did I sleep through the part where it was gone?

I knew a woman who had been out to dinner/partying, was over the blood alc limit, but managed to drive home safely. When she got home the dog got loose, so she drove around the neighborhood with brights on, looking for the dog. Cop pulls her over for not dimming, busts her for DUI

Looong time ago

Sounds like you should relocate to southern Spain for a while. They like to eat late there.

If nothing else, I’m sure you’d hear a lot less about that guy in the White House.

Who knew that giving away the store for new development would come back to bite us so soon?

Yeah, I guess it does. My last winemaking job was with a BIG wine/booze company that did consumer research and product development. They were constantly testing new flavors and recipes. From the production end, it was fascinating to see how flavors and sensations interact in ways not always expected

Photo of a middle aged white man, Marcus Bachmann, trying to eat a corn dog. He holds the dog with both hands and, with eyes closed, takes a tentative nibble. As a gay conversion practitioner, he seems to be having trouble opening up to take in the full experience. His wife Michelle, the brown haired head in the lower right, encourages him: β€œThey’re really not that bad!”

β€œThat’s right, honey. Just start with the tip…”

Alcohol actually adds texture and your description - grapefruit rind sprayed in your mouth vs juice - is a nice illustration of just that. It also has a huge effect on the way flavors and aromas are perceived.

Snip from the cover of The Rolling Stones β€˜Exile on Mainstreet’ album. A grainy black and white photo shows a man, perhaps a circus performer, with three balls (pool balls?) shoved in his mouth. The balls are lined up in a row and visible through his stretched out lips

Chinese red-cooked pig’s feet. All that connective tissue…

Also, from a no-one-needs-to-watch-this perspective, popcorn.

Seriously. There are days when scrolling along, thinking β€œWho ARE these people?!” Then I scroll up, look to the left, put my hands on my hips…

Have you checked to see if you’re in the β€˜discover’ tab?

I always try to keep my β€˜buy-knock-you-lurz’ in the back seat of my car in case I see a bird

Is there any update on the current favored pronunciation of β€˜nuclear’? Whenever I hear β€˜newk ya-ler’ I get a little twtchy

A very colorful squadron of yuru-kyara (Japanese mascots) is lining up to march out. A bear, a turnip, a post, some burgers, a rabbit are among the many cute mascots heading to Portland

Clearly we’ve had to evolve from β€˜flower power’ as a response to soldiers in the streets. Just as well, given today’s goons will lock you up for a week if you try anything like that.

Maybe we invite a whole bunch of Yuru-Kyara to do a tour, hold workshops for aspiring mascots. Peace Love & Mascots!

That was my experience. I was, conveniently, in the cardiac wing when I coded. But one minute Vito Corleone is chasing his grandson around the garden, next minute blackness. Yes, I was watching The Godfather and swear that was the last thing I remembered.

Shoreline photo with a large chunk of dark brown/ black rock reaching into the surf. The sky is a clear, pale blue. A flock of six pelicans flies by above the rock.

Well, I think the final point of β€œHow to prevent the rise of new dictatorships” goes hand in hand with getting rid of the old one. So yeah, it feels like a good reminder that you need to replace the thing you demolish.
