About Elon Musk's black eye: Encouraging a child to potentially blind someone via detached retina?

I guess I blocked that out? Not going to rewatch to see.

Was this the first time for this specific category? If so, I wonder if they thought it was Masters Tourney-worthy, and then thought they'd better trial in the Regulars first? I wonder if it will appear again. Heather's positive attitude was exemplary. A soul mate of my youth settled near her hometown, and she bares a strong resemblance. I wish I had a photo of the portrait I painted of the old friend to share so you could all gasp. Was FJ supposed to just be easy, or was it supposed to be a fake out, like: James Bond? Nah. That's too easy.

For those with their US birth certificates confidently in hand, consider: As a frail woman I do not feel safe going to the public beach to watch the sunset. The current POTUS reinforces this "norm" by insisting he has the right to grab women.

I rate politicians by how well they can speak, and Buttigieg is tops in that department, but I worry that he doesn't have any demonstrative success stories as Secretary of Transportation during the Biden administration. There are bureaucratic reasons, but that doesn't help.

Every time I get a mailer to join AARP and see that they're offering a "2 for 1" for a year, I toss it in the recycling on principle, since that is not a deal from which I can benefit.

Week 38: 3/5, no asterisks: Mon. Yellowstone (pictured it on the map) Thu. Manifest Destiny (IEWYKI) Fri. James Bond (who else could it be?)

If it makes you feel any better, I've never had a house cleaner either.

I have access to the NYT, which ran several lengthy, in-depth, well-sourced articles on Project 2025 before the election, so none of this is new to me. Instead it’s a nightmare coming true.

Thanks for the chuckle. Did you invent this? Google AI is not familiar. Yet…

Similar for me, but it's more that I'm anxious about not fitting in with people of my ancestry — that I won't understand most of what they are talking about, even though we speak the same language with the exception of a few words. And yet here I am living in a condo/neighborhood/county with a bunch of people who I don't fit in with for different reasons. I'm not sure how this fits in with feelings of xenophobia. Except: Is it possible living among xenophobes can cause it to rub off on you? Or does it just bring out what was laying there dormant?

When Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court, in conversation with my distraught middle daughter, I predicted Coney Barrett’s relative youth, combined with her newfound near-untouchable power and resulting opportunities for independence, could result in her shifting to the left. I think that was before Roe was overturned, but there’s still hope.🤞 His egocentrism is a real advantage for trump observers who wish to unravel DJT’s thought processes; his rants at others seem to reveal his opinion of himself*, with this Washington Times article “Trump lashes out at ‘real sleazebag’ [himself]* Leonard Leo, Federalist Society” being a great example of how DJT’s own self-loathing may motivate most of his words and actions: I personally find it calming to figure out what motivates a person who is constantly saying and doing alarming, upsetting, and even terrifying things.

Wow. Fantastic casting and masterful directing by Adam Arkin, who I always thought of as just a H!ITG! actor — I didn't know he was Alan Arkin's son. It was nice to see David Krumholtz looking well. A really nice interview with Bad Seed Stephanie actor Jade Halford: indiewire.com/features/interviews/poker-face-season-2-villain-eva-jade-halford-episode-6-1235127515/

@Absolom, I think you might not realize the depth of delusion under which MAGAs live. But, of course, I hope my skepticism is wrong, and you and your hope are correct. Yes, that’s what I read, and a more literal than figurative crap shoot.💩 Ugh. I’d like to wipe🧻 the smile off that poop emoji’s face💩

I think the main guy was in it for the money, and the underlings had been convinced there was some principle to fight for. But I don't really recall. I may be conflating real world stories with the show's. Normally, yes. But CBS may be walking a fine line, so, "life imitates art" and vice versa.
