Trump voters don't care about the job getting done. I'm convinced they truly don't think the Presidency matters. What they want is someone who hates the same people they do and who says he'll hurt those people for them.

Ya know, given that she's an obscenely successful writer in English, my native language, I really would expect to be able to figure out what the #### the point is she's trying to make.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

It's okay because it's for the greater good. Or, in this case, the greater mediocre.

Ugh. Also, no one can possibly be surprised by this. When you own the world, you don't have to pay to use anything - it's already yours.

I live in the Colorado Springs area. Williams has been getting absolutely flogged (not for being anti-gay, though). It seems there were 3 anti-Williams ads in every TV break. Unilaterally directing state party funds to his own campaign was the big complaint. Who does he think he is, Donald Trump?

There BEING any future Presidential elections in the form we know them seems like it should be motivating. And I have a lot fewer of those in my potential future than young people do.

And if the units had been so shoddy as to be borderline uninhabitable, the project would have been flogged for that. It's spending for the less well off - lots of people oppose it on they would like to think of as "principle".

It would be a violation, except privacy laws don't apply to anyone except straight, white, male property owners. I'm sure the Supreme Court will agree since that's the way things were in 1789.

My Fathers' Day entertainment...I just asked Meta AI how to change a setting. It sent me down 2 dead ends. Then it asked if I had any suggestions for a better experience, and I said, "Let users opt out of Meta AI." It told me, "That's a great suggestion!" Can Zuck fire it?

"It"? I know people with lots of different pronouns, but that's one I haven't seen a sentient being apply to themselves. Although I am an admittedly somewhat sheltered person in early seniorhood.

Thank God I'm not in it. I understand the price of admission is 1) your sense of shame, and 2) your immortal soul. My children hold the former in trust, and I'm kind of fond of the latter.
