Happy to talk about classical music (for real) and grammar (for fun). Will occasionally chat about computer programming and AI. Recovering from politics; healing for a while, back in the fray eventually.

Does anyone else read about Fodor and immediately, dislexically see "Frodo"?

A different Jim Meehan, not me, alas. His drinks sound great, though.

No. At least not on your chest, where the startling division of the two halves is cool.

Two earthquakes nearby today, 3.2 (at 11:54 AM) and 3.7 (at 1:59 PM), from the same location. Unusual to have two of these in row. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I wonder how much more of Trump's Gaza craziness ("I would own this") it would take for JD Vance and the Cabinet to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, declaring that "the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." #LesserOfTwoEvils

I agree. I don’t tip at a drive-thru, for example, even though someone β€œput together” the order.

It’s not for him. It’s to keep his zealous fans away.

Occasionally, in the middle of a Waymo ride on a clear day, the windshield wipers will activate, just once. I think, π‘‡β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘'𝑠 π‘€π‘’π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘‘.

Several simultaneous quakes, all in Nevada.

Yes. Curtains swaying, etc. I'm sure it will show up momentarily on the USGS map.

Earthquake! Just a second of rolling here in downtown SF, but that's the biggest one I've felt in a while.

At Thanksgiving dinner in Nantucket.
Joe Biden: <unintelligible>
Hunter Biden: I beg your pardon?
Joe Biden: OK. Done.

So now Biden should pardon Jack Smith, Juan Merchan, and Fani Willis.

The best part is that since he gave up his seat in Congress, he is officially NOBODY. There’s no reason, other than memes, to see him in the news or social media.

Listening to RFK Jr. is worse, for both content and vocal quality. What happened to his voice? Something terrible.

Here's a bit of irony. As a nation, we were unprepared for Covid, but we learned a lot (the hard way). It's all still fresh in our minds, so if RFK gets in the way of vaccines, or botches the response to some new health crisis, I think everyone will start yelling, no matter which way they voted.
