Affogato

I know a few prople who fumble to find bumper stickers. I bought used. I bought before Musk went crazy. These ads are great. Thanks. This is in the UK?

We have economic power, at least.

It is a lot like House, without the malignant narcissism and codependency via Wilson. I’m not convinced the stalking accusations are realistic. It seems like old fashioned, comfortable tv.

I’m enjoying this show. Background. A little bit of an arc.

There is always value in voting. I have voted in elections, more local, where no one was contested.

It is optimistic to think we will have an election. I’m beginning to think, anyway. We can only hope things go differently.

There was a pro Palestine protest in my city yesterday. I’m glad, although I missed it. I go to protests when I can. I can’t vote in congress. I’n not a judge or lawyer. But the right to protest is something I can do. What did they expect? To be heard, I imagine. the protests were peaceful and included a variety of people. But yes, voting is a compromise. I hope they learned.

I thought they should have let the shut down happen in this case, but I also see that Schumer had a considered point. I think we have to stand together against this mess that is happening and appreciate any instance of democracy and law. i appreciate your anger, though. toadd, we lost the last election because of many things, but one of them was that people had some one issue and used their vote as a protest. It didn’t turn out well.

It is possible that oDylan is someone who works hard and has just been beaten down by life. I wonder if Miss Huang will run into Irving.

Yes children need to learn critical thinking. They need to be exposed to newspapers, news shows and people need to discuss social media. They need to learn why people are upset that Musk made a gesture. For one thing at this time you cannot keep them away from social media and it is a disservice if you do keep them away from it. They will have to deal with it and the poor children who were raised without the support of their parents, learning to navigate it, will suffer because of it. This was always true. Learning about slavery and learning about the persecution of trans children doesn’t make you weak or whatever people are afraid of. It makes children educated, informed and capable of making a better world. what are the better ways to teach a child to defend themselves than to give them a knowledge of himan rights, sympathy for people that are not like them and the knowledge of history to put it in perspective? This is what not to teach children, that when you are cornered, deny the truth and bluster your way through. It is what Trump models. We need to do better.

I am content not knowing anything about Trump’s sexual parts or proclivities.

Gretchen doesn’t prefer innie Dylan, she is oddly attracted to Dylan without the baggage. Go figure. The baggage is real, though, and they could use some couples therapy. Odylan and Gretchen aren’t getting what they need. Gretchen response to an impossible romantic scenario and oDylan test drives cars he can’t afford.

I did notice Miss Huang was picked up by a driver and Helena has a driver. I thought he had likely driven people to bad ends but also some people to work. But be felt guilt when some of the people he drove disappeared without a trace.

Children need to learn to stand up to bullies. What better way?

I don’t. I bately know what show you are talking about. However they are not a news source, as far as I know.

Yes, Putin is a bully, has a huge history of rights crimes, and in general seems to be someone Trump wants to emulate and be friends with and it isn’t admirable. Putin is also quite capable of manipulating poor Donnie to get what he wants. Putin is delighted to get what Putin wants and he doesn’t have to give 47 anything real. Zelenskyy has to make the best of a bad situation. It doesn’t mean that 47 was right.

Well the actual point is that the Ukraine is at war with Russia because Russia started a war taking over Ukrainian territory. Trump’s plans to end the war involved giving Russia the territory, which should noy have been an issue because Ukrainia apparently was wrong to defend itself in the first place. so, also, if the US decides to make Canada a state, Canada should just permit it, I imagine. It is the diplomacy of bullies. his plan to end war is not acceptable. See ‘take Gaza, make the people refugees that other countries (not the US) will deal with and make the country a resort for rich people. I can’t find it either. Although I suppose Musk has someone attached to Trumps account to eliminate really really really dumb posts.

No impaired facilities there. Nope.

I’m still weighing Helly/Helena. Obviously Helena is an expert swimmer and sophistcated egg eater. I wonder of Helena could have been who we saw all along. The interchange with Mitchick. A little off for Helly. The walk maybe a little exaggerated . The WTF at the end of the episode. Yet, why is she memorizing the directions if —-maybe she can skip the switch from outie to innie but not carry words out of the floor ? Alternatively could she use the otc and tesch Helly how to ritually eat the egg? Leave instructions. Or are we just seeing the innie and the outie starting to feel the same dissatisfactions?

Boston Harbor used to freeze. So did Duluth and other parts of Lake Superior. Now it is less likely.

Yes. Ben Stiller said on the pocast that observant people will notice the things that happen will reflect the opening credirs.

I’m fairly sure that is a big part of the finale, with a side of Helena and Jame.
