If you would like to try a challenging, but ultimately very rewarding, sci-fi book that does involve first contact to a certain extent, I recommend "Embassytown" by China Mieville. It is also an eloquent meditation on the nature of language, and I thought it was brilliant.

I am just about out of here, but I did go gather some more info, and apparently what Elon actually said before making his unfortunate gesture was "from my heart to yours", which doesn't sound hugely Nazi to me...but I leave it to you all to parse his gesture as you will.

I'm not a Trump supporter/defender (I voted for Pismo T. Clam - he's my man, he's a clam!) but I don't think Elon was going for a Nazi salute even in the slightest. And furthermore, yay ADL for being a rational voice (they generally get things right, and here again, they did). Elon is a total geek but in absolutely no way a Nazi sympathizer. I've watched the clip several times and I think he is either doing something quasi-Roman or just flailing about enthusiastically - as I said, he is a geek and often spontaneously geeks out. And to the person upthread who posted that eggs were $6.72 a dozen where they are: please send me a email so I can have you ship me some (cost plus shipping) as that would still be considerably cheaper than where I am (at least $9.00 a dozen, even at Walmart). Mostly I am seeing a lot of over reactive fear on this forum which makes me think that doomscrolling (like what got going during Covid) is still a thing. Not good for your mental health, people...

First of all, it seems incredible to me that any "tsunami of posts" on any subject on FB is taken at face value: if there are Russian bots multi posting on political issues, why wouldn't there be equivalent bots (from wherever) designed to create the impression that all the sudden lots of young women think being trad wives is a viable life option? Secondly, I would be more concerned about the incredible numbers of young people that now think being an "influencer" is the best career choice (especially those based on beauty/fashion on TikTok or Instagram or being a sex object on OnlyFans). You age out of that a whole lot faster than being a housewife, and there is no alimony or property division waiting for you when you do.

You can get potassium even better from dark green leafy veggies (think: kale, arugula, etc.) Bananas are a good source of potassium but they are also one of the highest fruits in terms of sugar content and don't have any fiber...

Interesting...I really like Rossif Sutherland, but I prefer the scruffy, sorta sad type detective (see: Shetland until recently). Kristin Kreuk bugs me though; she seems continually nervous which makes me nervous (as a character of course, I have no idea what she is like in real life). The cafe gal is a cypher, as is the daughter so far. Yet, I will give the second season a try, hoping the stories get better because they were mostly fairly limp, in my opinion, in the first season.

Let us consider the actual facts: CNS Maryland https://cnsmaryland.org › 2024/05/16 › amid-controvers... May 16, 2024 — Casual observers may be surprised to learn that the justices this term so far have issued unanimous decisions in nearly 75% of their rulings.

Just because you want to give your kid some excellent opportunities outside academics doesn't make you an "anything"....I am an old, and my parents (back in the 1960s!) gave me piano and ballet lessons (the latter of which I pursued most of my life - thanks, Mom and Dad!) and sent me to summer camp every summer. Don't be worrying about labels or being associated with labelled people by default - it will drive you crazy!

That is how I feel about "impactful"...I still don't think that is a real word. (la la la la - fingers in my ears)

This would be funny if "trial" was spelled correctly...as it is, it is just kinda sad. (Should I take this to the "grammar" thread?)

There are professional dog sitters out there that come to your house as many times a day as needed (and a marvelous system of people that actually housesit/petsit your place in exchange for a free place to stay) that your mother should investigate for future trips. It sounds like you are not in a good place to be providing her pet sitting anymore so bring this up next time any vacation plans are being broached in your presence.

This is NOT true, from what I have read. The point is to detain illegal immigrants that *have* been charged with a crime, which is why most of the Democratic Senators voted for it and a Democratic Senator is a co-sponsor. Whatever you may think of the bill, it is important to get this part correct.

Watch MSNBC much? not "anonymous people on the Internet" according to an independent fact checking professional I heard interviewed on NPR a couple of mornings ago. He said that they actually found that MSNBC was *more* biased and full of incorrect info that Fox (Faux) News.

You can question feminist theory without being either "insulting" or a "reactionary". Its not an either/or world out there in my actual experience.
