I studied Physics because I wanted to know how the world works. I found out how it DOESN'T work: magic. Atheist. Retired researcher and bassist for a local jazz band named "The Remnants." @CyEdmunds on Twitter (no such thing as X)

Oblivion Remastered is supposed to include a visual upgrade from this 2006 game. I think they did OK

This is the most disgusted I have been by Trump, and Iโ€™ve smelled himโ€ฆ

I suppose so, but he's not an easy guy to take seriously

A classic example of performative action

One of the few times I tend to believe this guy is when he pleads ignorance.

It's like watching a toddler play with a loaded pistol

I loved Turbo Pascal. I wrote some serious programs at work using it. One was a powder mixing simulation and another was a simple CAD/CAM program for editing magnet assemblies. A FORTRAN program was then invoked to compute the magnetic fields. Pretty cool for the time!

Some people conflate cruelty with strength.

Guys can we just revoke this babyโ€™s victim card? So beta

Seriously such a beta. This guy is absolutely unworthy to be commander of military men and women

Unfortunately, his admirers will love this story.

His first term cabinet didn't agree with everything he said. He fixed that in his second term. As far as authoritarianism, nobody has to teach him that.

It's all moot. Putin can't back out now for a number of practical reasons. I have no hope at all for any negotiations.

Sorry, this gives Trump too much credit. Every time he does something stupid or obnoxious, somebody says it's a distraction tactic. He doesn't need any tactical reason; that's just who he is

In order to realize you've been screwed, you have to have some inkling of policy options. Otherwise, you can be convinced your suffering is caused by the "bad guys."

Politics is a game of tribalism, not policy.

They elected him twice, so he kind of has a point

History suggests someone will play the same role.

He will never be the voice of reason, because he acts based on dogma rather than reason. Kind of like a kid who refuses to put his tongue in a wall socket because he thinks it will cause his mother to fall ill. Right decision, wrong reasoning

My Lottery Dream Home winner meeting his new neighbor:

Neighbor: Nice to meet you, too. Before I retired, I was a stock broker. What did you do?

Jeb: Well, I had a part time job in a bait shop.

My Lottery Dream Home winner showing his old friend around:

Jeb: 3500 square feet, swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts,... so what do you think Festus?

Festus: Seems nice to me. Of course, I still live in a trailer.

My new desktop background from the video game "Oblivion Remastered." It suggests that evil lurks behind that door... and it does!

Right. And if you strip out the effects of the explosion, the entire mission was successful.
