Lovely late night timeline cleanser and imagination activation.

I always thought it was the 5 second rule, changed when we went metric.

Why does this remind me of those creatures that are in the La Brea Tar pits, were they debating whether or not moving was a good idea while they thrashed around and drowned?

We're already in #idiocracy do we really have to LARP #dontlookup ?

I happen to have edited my God down to nothing, but as long as someone else that hasn't doesn't bother me, then peace be upon him.

If someone tries to edit *my* definition of God, then I would be annoyed.

I'm an atheist, not annoyed. Sounds perfectly reasonable.

I’ve started using my phone to record reminders and things and setting alarms for the next day.

It will also happen across India, Asia, China, Russia and other major populations.

The world and humanity in 2125 will look nothing like today.

One of our better ideas getting those manufactured, nice to know they work as designed and keep people alive.

I think your focus on Disney is wrong. It was the affiliates that put the pressure on Disney because they were the ones who Carr had power over.

Disney pulled the show, but hadn't cancelled it. Then people started boycotting, enough to spook Disney, who gets *direct* revenue from streaming.

I'm sure they are working on it, but this is worse because they know that not only will they be facing the DOJ, but that Trump will use every arm of government to fight them.

Ring their advertisers. Nothing else will make them listen.

FFS, I was worried you were talking about the host of 7.30 on the ABC, not the (very-) ex-princess!

Extensions are a left over plot from MS-DOS instead of reading the magic first 4 bytes as god-Unix intended, or the MacOS file type codes.

They couldn't find an hour of Kirk without some form of misogyny or racism or outrageous positions on abortion and rape and on the second amendment.

He can't, because he can't identify the leadership or organization of the group (it doesn't exist), and there's no such thing as a designated domestic terror organization, only foreign.

But hey, the law seems to be "flexible" in the US these days.

So that merger needs a rule change as well as approval. So ABC/Disney caved because they were threatened with losing their broadcast affiliates.

Nextar heavied Disney after the FCC/Trump heavied them and threatened the merger.

Complete extortion and authoritarian behavior.

Paramount+ needed FCC approval and the chair Brendan Carr basically threatened them which is why CBS cancelled Colbert.

Nextar needs FCC approval because the merger will control stations that reach 80% of the US.

How many people realize that the press that has cravenly collapsed with censorship is controlled by the FCC licenses, and FCC approvals for mergers:

CBS was part of the Paramount+/SkyDance merger
ABC is broadcast by Nextar which owns 10% of the stations and wants to merge with TEGNA.

Another Deco example in the Albury Hotel - designed by W. H. Merritt and built in 1939 #albury #murray #nsw #au #latergram #bentsabout

Love Deco, but can't help thinking that it looks like an iHotel by Apple?

Just the curved corners, which I love, now mean iPhone, iPad, etc.

Although sadly, as of this year, Apple are ditching the "squircle" and moving to just boring circles.

I'm pretty sure it's not just a "coin flip". People that actually live in reality know the benefits of vaccines, both economically, but for community health.

As for "sticking a finger", the way to do that is to make politicians in Congress, particular Republicans actually grow a spine against RFKjr

What's going to make it uneconomic is the removal of immunity from lawsuits for companies that manufacture vaccines.

Currently you can't sue the manufacturer, but the trumpists are talking about removing that immunity.

It's there to encourage companies to actually make them.
