Four wrong autocorrects before it gave me the right one.

Questioner: Can you explain Eli’s act?

Still me:

Instant block on that.

Terrible loan quality and abjectly pathetic securities portfolio management.

That’s one of the worst Texas ratios I’ve seen in a long time.

Whoever was advising them on their bond portfolio should burn.

Not a sign of industry issues, just a terribly-run bank.

My review of the one in Columbus, which came out a long time before I knew what kind of guys they were, was along the lines of “someone dropped a Stuckey’s into a Dave and Busters and served the best beer the corner gas station had to offer.” And I rarely give bad reviews.

Then I read up on them.

The gall bladder attack I had last night would like a word.

Another reminder of why the McCaskeys shouldn't own a football team.

I took this photo in Florida a couple of years ago and you have no idea how badly I kick myself for not taking video.

Non-major related (and I changed majors a few times):

1) Northern Italian Renaissance Art
2) Russian
3) Religions of the East
4) Logic (Should be required. I mean Jesus Christ, with everything going on right now, but I digress.)
5) A religion class taught by a gay, atheist, Jesuit priest (really).

Happy birthday to Phil Collins.

If memory serves, he was discovered after a pairing with internationally renowned comedic genius @emophilips.bsky.social on Miami Vice. Then he made some albums or something.

Just saw that.

Sad. She was amazing.

Stay tuned. We're finally on Bluesky and hope to be up and running in early February!

You’re following @sciencemonkey.bsky.social ?

That’s a questionable move.

For anyone who doesn’t know what this group is about, watch.

We miss you Dr. Hall.

I prefer the Owl variants.

Wow.

The Fox/DOJ comments use a lot of loaded words.

Completely not shocked.

They’ll be billing you $1.34 for using it in your comment.

Bloomberg headline this morning - “Prison Stocks Tumble With ICE Backlash Stoking Business Angst.”

Dave cheated on his wife and had a kid. He’s putting in some effort to replace some of the people his actions helped to kill. Give the guy some credit.

The six pillars of vagueness.

Fascinating.

The Independent is clueless.

Iraq and Afghanistan are perfect examples of what happens when we go to war in the Middle East. If we have to kill another 1,000,000+ people to not make things better, then god dammit we will.

Is “revealed” an appropriate word to use in the article’s title?

It was revealed that ScienceMonkey isn’t actually a chimpanzee.

No shit.

Narcissistic personality disorder - Symptoms and causes

For anyone trolling this conversation and (wisely) not getting involved . . .

www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

Name dropping (quick scroll through the timeline and he does the all of the time), exaggeration, self importance, entitlement, lack of empathy, superiority complex.

Classic narcissistic personality disorder.

Back away slowly.

Let’s put the list of your facts together.

1) You’re admittedly a bigot.
2) Poor people are worth less than your father.
3) You assume immigrants are criminals/terrorist at a higher level than US citizens.

Did I miss anything?

“I’m not begging for special privilege!” followed by two posts about why you should get special privilege.

I know as much about your father’s origin as I do about the origins of other immigrants.

Kick him out!

He was fleeing a situation that he felt wasn’t tenable just as many of the immigrants who come here are fleeing situations they feel are untenable.

You are begging for a special privilege solely because it applies to you. It’s OK that you got the advantage of it, but screw everyone else?

What gave your father more of a right to come here fleeing oppression than the fathers of others who came here freeing oppression?

You’re starting to layer selfishness on top of your bigotry.

What if the deliciousness helps them to rethink their bigotry?

(As a near 100% Polack, I will say this might have the opposite effect with Polish food.)
