Trump always looks like a petulant child who is upset about being scolded by a responsible adult in these meetings. The debasement of the office of POTUS is a tragedy to watch.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Yes, I do understand, but .. and that's most impressive! but .. allergies can be mild, but .. I guess it's a tradeoff, if it stays mild. I would worry a little, still.

No -- like Joanna said. If it has such a significant effect, you may be allergic to some ingredient. Really, best not to tempt fate! Try to find something else.

AI is a wholly parasitic technology. It has hoovered up centuries of human cultural production and can reconfigure it in a split section to produce the simulacrum of original human thought, but it can never replace that. IMO, we'll miss the products of genuine human thought when it's gone.

She's not a troll, but it would have been a good idea to have enclosed the MLK-only part in quotes.

So, let me get this straight--Trump pardoned a health care exec convicted of Medicare fraud and, in the same breath is cutting Medicare to recipients because he claims they are receiving it fraudulently. How much money the healthcare exec load into Trump's pockets.
