Serious question for someone in either Law Enforcement or Legal - isn't this Slander/Defamation and/or Making False Statements? It seems to me that Felony-level accusations made in an official government meeting would be actionable if they were found to be true, so if they're found to be false...

White House Lists Smithsonian Exhibits It Finds Objectionable

Absolutely disgusting - the WH's list itself is so petty, so venal, so anti-historical I would be surprised if Tacopedo himself penned it.

I do like me a good creepy mystery, so I'll check it out. I'm currently invested in Department Q, which is Scottish enough that I have to watch it subtitles.

I highly recommend checking out Alien Ocean's two parter about the wild lives and criminal history of geoduck smuggling. It's a truly wild ride. Here's part one: youtu.be/-gmVnHL1k0M?...

Heh - just relived my own personal heck with 4th grade and "thoroughly", so I feel you.

Michelle still occasionally goes through a mood where she puts in a streak of color, but they've definitely gotten more natural in tone over the years.

Yeah, probably that spring, now that I think about it. Getting descruffied for grad school, I suppose. Did you keep changing colors for yours even after it got shortened?

It meet its end in 1996-7, so a good long time. I still have about a foot of it in a braid around someplace for...a perfectly good reason, I'm sure. Mostly terrifying the kids.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

There was this hole-in-the-wall lunch counter near the Lincoln airport that I stopped in once. Good food, but unremarkable until I got to the dessert - triple berry crumble. You know in "Ratatouille" where the critic is mentally transported back to his grandmother's home? That exact sensation.

Is that a threat? Cause I habanarrow and bow and aren't afraid to use them.

Well geez, don't make such a big quesdeala about it!

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

A completely valid point. Let's swap out burger drive-ins with buffalo wing places, Chinese places that specialize in duck, and fried chicken joints. (also tagging @arctomet.bsky.social in this thread because I suspect it would amuse him)
