There's also the "cabinet."

No idea if WP'ers are forced to listen to Fox for 4 years. Where would they find the time? Here's something that made me laugh. When the jury found the Candidate guilty of a felony, I decided to see how Fox was handling it. They never mentioned it, instead talking about the Biden "Crime Family"!

Correct. See my other responses. I had a problem with the use of the word "brainwash."

I agree. I didn't mention that I lived next door (Cornwall on Hudson) to West Point most of my life. My mother worked there. I had friends who went there. I ran distance races with many of them, played bridge with officers and teachers there. Never heard of any conduct I would call "brainwashing."

You are correct. They were Class of 51 and Class of 62. I have no recollection of their political stances back then as I was just a kid, but later in life the older one was a Trump diehard, the younger one was active for peace. I have never heard that the Academy brainwashed anyone however.

I do not believe that and wish you could clarify. My 2 BILs were West Point grads. One went on to vote for Trump’s first term. The other protested vigorously against war and did not vote for Trump. The academies are above supporting Trump.

Thanks. It was Cato, who ended all his speeches with "Carthago delenda est." He hated Carthage. Mostly a trade war, but man did those two countries fight.

"Fox delenda est!"

Rub dub just relaxin in the tub, thinkin everything was all right...

Thanks. Found a few friends from "over there". Happy to be here although the constant anti-Trump stuff gets a bit repetitive. (Correct stuff, just a bit too much!)

If for some reason you are in search of the best dressed men in America, don’t go to a bridge club

This is exactly right. Evaluating risk is tricky and complex. That is why Kahneman, Thaler and others contributed so many helpful studies on decision-making and risk. The scope is far greater than investment banking. Thank you.

Rather than whine every day about the present administration, why don't the press and other posters do some research and tell us the names of the companies that advertise on Fox News? Hit their pocketbooks instead.

Maybe the best example of what economists and sociologists call "confirmation bias."

sorry i yelled 'five second rule" when you dropped your baby

I would probably have sent the first sentence back to the writer and asked for it to be rewritten.

Thanks for following me @lisabolynn.bsky.social. Looks like we have a few things in common.

Last night my wife and I watched "Mona Lisa Smile" and there was one scene that touched me. The woman who had been lied to about her boyfriend said to the liar, "Why couldn't you just let me be happy." We can all help others by happy, and it's so easy to do.

Thanks Ariaa. When you get a minute, email me some of those enhancements for my own use. Sounds like a great idea.

Friends lunching at Picasso's home in the South of France commented on the fact that he had none of his own pictures on the walls. "Why is that Pablo?" they asked. "Don't you like them?" "On the contrary," he replied. "I like them very much. It's just that I can't afford them."

The key to many of us is in the phrase "lack of consultation." If there were a process in which wasteful spending is eliminated, no one would complain. Talk about the baby and the bathwater

So simple, and yet an obvious solution.

Good lesson. My wife is a power knitter and seamstress. I learned this the hard way.

Even worse here if you're a guy, believe me. Who are all these women so interested in a happily married 78 year old man?

Each day I meditate and in that effort I tell myself that I will dismiss thinking about things that don't harm me personally. But maybe now I'll add your idea as a positive thing to do. Thank you.

Worked 4 years in Sydney, Perth and Adelaide, flew up to Cairns to snorkel on the reef. Ran hundreds of miles there. Love your country.

Yes I remember it too

Einstein said that in different words: “I never teach my students. I simply provide an environment in which they can learn.”

All instructional designers work in the same three learning domains. What the learner needs to know, do and feel. Focusing on helping the learner trust the medium is a powerful issue. I will also add that total focus on know without the do is not a definition of learning.
