The NYT is fooling themselves if they are pretending that there is any way Trump's tariffs could work. Their job is to just state the plain simple truth that the tariff plan is nonsense. That is the dereliction of duty by the NYT that we all complain about.

For shingles, my impression was that the side effect was like getting a limited case of shingles. I would have looked into it like that if I had some side effect, but fortunately I had none. There does not seem to be a central place to look up how to manage side effects.

The variability in response to a vaccine makes it quite hard to discuss it. Some people have a dreadful time, while others barely notice it at all. I don't think I ever hear about it being better to get the disease than to get the vaccine, though.

Just keep making the planes late and the TSA lines long so everyone has to run to catch their flights.

How do they know if it is an accurate date of birth?

My rule is 1 cup of coffee, then as many cups of tea as I want. This usually ends up as 1 cup of coffee and no tea, as intended.

It's a big business here in Oregon. This state supplies one third of all the Christmas trees sold nation wide. Over $100 million a year in sales.

Kinda judgmental there, Mr. Newsom.

Maybe a combination ballroom-mausoleum so we can dance on his grave.

(This sort of subject matter invites me to comment without having read or seen any of it and with no intention of ever doing so.)
My comment, then, is what are "evolution" and "breed" doing in a sentence with "asexual" and "asocial"? Has someone forgotten how biology works?

Ooh, reduce my taxes by $5,000. That'll fix everything.

Baby steps for the NYT. It is still up to us to point out who is Mr. Garbage here.

Those of us disappointed that the once-good NYT is kinda sucky now are not looking for a lame explanation. Do better. Call a spade a spade. Be a newspaper again. Get a spine. Be proud again.

This is where he got the garbage thing.

He’s gross.

Ew, gross.

$250 per kid. In ten years that’ll be $2500. Enough for college and a house down payment in fairyland.

“I’m being called a National Socialist because I want an immigration moratorium” - yup, that's being a Nazi.

The hope was that the LLMs would get smarter and smarter and become as smart as humans, or smarter. For some reason that did not happen all by itself. They are done improving them and no one knows what to do next.

Drugs are like gas and eggs. No one cares what price someone says they are. Everyone cares what price they are when they go out and get some and pay for it. That amount on the register, that's how much they are. No matter what some guy posts on the internet.

Blowing smoke rings.

YouTube video by Acoustic Lounge Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (Acoustic karaoke)

There is an acoustic karaoke version, with normal person energy levels, that you can sing along to. It is a good little song, which not all the power rock songs were.

Fancy pants cooking = slather butter all over everything. Genius!

It is not that it is always bad. It is that the representative may try to steer the funding to a group of donors or supporters. Also they may vote for a bigger bill that is mostly bad, but they want the local funding project part of it.

It will be worth the effort if you manage to never find out.

On a scale of stupid from 1 to 10 this about a 12. No one anticipated the scale might need to cover something so astonishingly stupid.

This place is getting weird.
I don't mean BlueSky; I mean the USA.

Theater goers in 1904: "I wonder what plays looked like back in the olden days of the 17th century. How they would have marveled to see a photograph of a modern production!"

this is the correct framing

this is lovely
