in other news the "Budget Hawk Conservative Party" is planning to plow the deficit like JD Vance seeing a sofa just to give the wealthy more at the cost of the poor and middle class ... we're into dystopia rising

maybe we should make elected and appointed officials choose: week long guides trip on hallucinogens or spend a month living on poverty level income without any help whatsoever.

also, no stock trades while in office, blind trust that portfolio

it's not a cult if you can manage to get the tax exempt status. that's the dividing factor

correct me if I'm wrong here, but technically with the Jedi rules of attachment, they're allowed to be on tinder, just not on match.com?

On the upside, that gives me a fun title to try to write sometime, "Meat Suit Marty"

That'll go wrong a number of ways

Stark kept doing stuff because he cared for his people, and the innocents caught in the crossfire. That's not very GOP.

Aelita was a Republican.

That's not the case, there were many floors still undergoing renovations, along with the main lobby from the front of the building. And we couldn't get any of the rooms under 75F without leaving the window open the 2 inches allowed the entire time.

Other than the hotel, we had a great time, and the hotel has a fantastic location. When we booked the hotel over a month before our intended stay, the marketing messages and hotel guest services all proclaimed that the hotel was newly renovated and that the rooms were all quiet.

A very curious part of the hotel I recognize now is that the Twitter/X profile they have linked from their company site is suspended. Yikes.

We took a vacation for the kids' Spring Break and stayed at the Millennium Hotel Downtown NYC in the Financial District. The positive thing I can say is that I would prefer staying there to sleeping little spoon with Bigfoot in Central Park, but just barely.
