It has taken a long time... Don't follow me as my interests are so varied I'll just confuse you and even the bots will get bored.

FBI agents spending their time harassing DC residents and adding to authoritarian imagery rather than investigating fraud, corruption, or trafficking is, to this administration, more feature than bug.

To repeat: Israel is deliberately killing journalists after labeling them as "terrorists." Based solely on their being Arab / Palestinian. This is not just racist targeting. It's genocidal. Every single leader of that country needs to be dragged before the ICC. War criminals, the lot of them.

I imagine that was really hard but if she's still supporting him after all this I don't think that you are losing that much not having her in your life. I am still sorry you had to make the choice.

Israel will deny that this was its intent. But we have no reason to believe them.

I presume by now she has regained possession of said bottle and left Midge to her own toys.

Multitasking matters. Yes, the news cycle is chaos, but don’t let this week’s distractions bury the Epstein story and Donald Trump’s role in it. He’s counting on you to look away. Don’t.

I am sure that she will do that then. So Midge managed to wrench it away from you.

Deleting a post about Israel β€œaccidentally” killing international journalists because I missed that they had declared them terrorists.

Everyone involved in this genocide needs to be sent to The Hague

Looking at the evidence presented to us, Susie it looks like that you tried to steal her bottle and she was just not having it. Of course we didn't see how she came to have it in her possession.

I only know anecdotally that a lot of Australian friends are doing their best to avoid American products. Probably a tiny minority but lots of tiny minorities like them around the world taking a step back and rethinking their American purchases.

Doctors have an inbuilt prejudice against what patients tell them. Assume it's either made up or misunderstanding of the physical reality. But they're using AI for all sorts of medical purposes despite the fact that AI without rigid controls makes shit up constantly. I don't find that comforting.

I was in a mood yesterday and I got a cold-call from a client who said β€œAI told me this is a strong federal case.” Hand to God she said that. I told her anything AI told her about her case was shit and this did not look promising. And lo, it was not.

Incredible.

Roland Reisley is 101 years old, the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He still lives in the 3,200 square foot home that Wright built for him in 1952.

The price? $40,000. Or a little less than half a million in today's money.
