I have fond memories of being on the net during the oughts. It was before social media and the mentality of people only willing to talk to people like them and it was before the rise of (toxic) conspiracy theories, nonsense, and highly aggressive anti-intellectualism - and the list goes on. I also miss blogs. The good ones were like somebody showing you their private notebook. Oh, well. That's progress for you.

As it said in the Book of Revelation, "His servants shall serve him, and they shall see his face."

I agree.

But it's a good bit.

The second cop comes with his sausage pizza, nobody gets the sausage slice so it’s obvious they haven’t been here before.

Edit

But I wonder if it's been copy and pasted.

I recently had a memory come back to being on aol sometime in 2001 and chatting with someone who claimed to be from Japan.

Back in my Myspace days I was naïve about the net an naïve in general. At the time I lived in Japan. The Myspace search function was utter crap and one day I ended up at a forum for a random town in Massachusetts. I hung out there because I liked the posts made by people who I assumed where in the 20s if not younger. It took me an embarrassingly long time to connect the dots and to understand why I was met with hostility.

The reason they didn't like me was that they assumed my "Hey, guys - I'm in Japan," comments were ridiculous lies and I was a narc and maybe even a local cop spying on the young people of the town.

I bet the movie might be 10x better if the budget had been 1/10th as much which is ~$20m. Hollywood budgets can be like the F-35 program. Throwing gigantic amounts of money at problems can make the issues worse.

Carville: Winning is Everything, Stupid | Official Trailer - YouTube

Within the first 20 seconds he says...

"There are three things I ain't changin'. I ain't chanin' wives. I'm not changin' sexual orientation. I ain't changin' my political party."

I'm watching the series "Big Love". A scene made me sigh because it's so much at lib efforts to downplay the genocide in Gaza and now the expanded war in Lebanon. Libs continue to demand people don't trust their own eyes and trust lib rhetoric and nonsense instead. The libs are stuck because with each passing day the evidence piles up but they are heavily invested in their pretense so they sound crazier and crazier.

Bill Paxton plays a polygamist with three wives who is also named Bill. He's an expert at hiding reality. People think he has only one wife. One of his employees confides something to him. She suspects his business partner and best friend to be a polygamist. This is a dangerous situation for Bill. The future of his friend's family, his family, and their business could be at stake.

She must be convinced that what she knows to be true is wrong. They are sitting in his office. Bill calls her accurate accusations "unsavory". Then stands up to show her the conversation is over and he shuts her down.

"But I know what I saw."

"What you saw was an action. But you didn't necessarily see the label you're putting on it."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Exactly. There you are."

Hurricane Milton looks like ‘storm of the century’ says Biden

For him. The century has ~75 years left.

There’s not a lot of appetite for raising an alarm, especially if it could be perceived subsequently as a false alarm.

I wish the interviewer had asked her what her take on seatbelts is.

Prime Real Estate Gaza

Trump's mental process is sometimes transparent. Somebody says something on Fox News and the Trump paraphrases it about an hour later. But in this case god only knows what the cause was. My wild hunch is that a few hours before he was on the show somebody might have mentioned to Trump that Gaza is prime real estate. And Trump was fixated on that. Maybe he even started dreaming of a TRUMP branded hotel there. And during the show he had prime Gaza real estate on the brain. He convinced himself that he's been there so he knows what's what and he's knowledgeable.

 

Donald Trump claims to have been to Gaza despite no evidence of visit | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Asked by Hewitt if Gaza could be transformed into Monaco if properly rebuilt, Trump replied:

"It could be better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything. It’s got, it is the best, I’ve said it for years. I’ve been there, and it’s rough. It’s a rough place … before all of the attacks and before the back and forth what’s happened over the last couple of years. I mean, they have the back of a plant facing the ocean, you know. There was no ocean as far as that was concerned. They never took advantage of it. You know, as a developer, it could be the most beautiful place – the weather, the water, the whole thing, the climate. It could be so beautiful. It could be the best thing in the Middle East.”

I left "flowers as a hat" in there because it's supposed to be - like - art.

Ninja edit: I just realized that - of course - "big boobs" isn't needed. It's a sort of default.
