Here's an intriguing study, btw. It made me think about this in a different way. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Hee. I took a break from "The Last Colony" to check my skyline, and here you are talking about PDAs.
I think of your PDA as something even better than a phone or tablet. I can imagine futuristic technology in them, as you don't really flesh out what they do, besides "everything".

I did. Sadly, now three votes against. She did also love the sold-out ones.
(I told you she taught me my sense of style. 😉)

Those look fabulous.
Boo on the sold out status. Boo, indeed. 🙁

Not a woman (obviously), but married to my lovely wife with a degree in clothing and textile design. Who has shared her sense of style with me.
I don't like the toes on those, at all. The color is pretty lovely, but the shape just doesn't work for me.

I wasn't originally a Walt Whitman fan, but have grown to really love him. His gift of that beautiful word alone to English should earn him so much respect from all of us.
Thanks again for bringing a little joy into my day.

The glory of the perfect word yawping to go with the perfect photo of her. 😍

I would say those qualify as gams. Especially if the commenter was a fan of 1920s slang.

This is the premise for 99% of the true-crime murder shows that my lovely wife and I watch.
The ones where the psycho men murder their wives, ex-wives, and/or girlfriends.
This guy is the prototypical murderer-to-be.

I am reading a nonfiction book about Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh, entitled America First. It is quite good, and I am learning so much.

Except for many of the things coming from the orange dictator's office. In the immortal words from Veep, they are noise-shaped air.
I might reuse your brilliant sentence in the future. I'll be sure to credit you.

Princess Bride mandatory viewing in Pre-K!!!
We made sure our boys watched it before they were 8 years old or so. They were using "inconceivable!" by fourth grade.
Now it's an almost-annual tradition.

Sadly, there is a third kind. Those who are just too young to have experienced the greatness. We can only hope that they start showing it in hospital nurseries eventually. If I was emperor, that might be one of my first decrees.

Dang it. You just reminded of something that I must also must make. Dinner.
Sisyphus indeed.

Would several botched invasions starting in late 1942 been better? Or the very-well-planned successful invasion that ended the war in Europe in about ten months? Lots of surviving GIs would prefer the latter, I'd imagine.

Huzzah! My Green Bay Packers are Super Bowl LIX champions. As they were leading the Eagles 19-17 at the end of the first half in game one of the season.
Is that how this works?

Oh, FFS.
Where is my "turbo-block", with the blocked account disappearing in an animated mushroom cloud of extremely blockedness?

It's going to be tricky and take some time, if the FDR attempt to remove Jimmy Walker in 1932 is any indication.
Fortunately, Pataki’s removal of Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson in the late 90s was upheld by the courts. This should be equivalent, if not even more clear-cut.

These musings on your own personal Bartleby both fascinate and horrify me. I do feel for you.

Sgt. John Basilone was an amazing Marine, a genuine hero. Day one on Iwo Jima demonstrated his mortality quite definitely and finally.

Lloyd says it best. You have no chance of surviving rabies. Surviving a lightning strike is far, FAR more likely.

So easy. This works on so many levels. One year before the Berlin Wall came down.

That's a great plan. I discovered them with Dance on a Volcano late one evening on a pretty great radio station. So went back to the pre-quartet Peter Gabriel days and caught up.
Chronological is a genius idea. Have fun!

You can be incredibly witty with the alt-text, as well. No only are you posting inaccessible content, you are completely missing out on the chance to be very clever with your descriptions.
This goes for gifs, as well.
And the character limit is huge for alt-text!

Autocorrect is relentless with that apostrophe. It is evil.
I just had a major skirmish when trying to reference a "gif". No Autocorrect, not another word for present.

Thank you, Roscoe. Your cuteness level estimate looks correct to me. 😍

Came here for that gif!
Thank you.

My multiverse-obsessed 21yo son will come and fight you for that sentiment.
His dad, otoh, a bit weary about listening to his son talk about the multiverse, thinks your statement is pretty darn apt.

I love that song so, SO very much.
I actually think that it may have planted a seed in my conscience that grew my teenager indifference into my now-middle-aged hatred of all things racism/sexism/discrimination.
This song and the Blues Brothers anti-Nazi stuff.

My goodness, that was a delightful way to start Saturday.
The entire 'fully three minutes?' paragraph had me in stitches, but it was by no means the only source of my laughter. 🤣

That is a spectacular piece of art, at least for me. I love every detail.

Yeah, my wife with an actual degree in fashion and textile design with an eye for color concurs on the color. It's perfect.
Me, as a generic middle-aged man, also agrees about the perfection.

Speaker, then Senate president pro tempore next.
The acting president would be replaced by the new Vice President, per the 25th Amendment. They would then need another new Vice President.
See Carl Albert, Gerald Ford, and Nelson Rockefeller.

Not legally, but that doesn't mean that he won't. The dictatorship rolls along, free of any legal checks.

I'd probably consider making candied bacon myself, as I don't know how well the cinnamon flavoring would work. That seems a bit weird, but maybe that's just me.

We do an official corporate walking challenge, so there are actual rules. And the official answer is YES.
(At least if you worked for my company.)

My teenage boys watched Tropic Thunder tonight. Both said "Best movie EVER!" Thank you for bringing us such joy.

I guess that they are allowed to be upset, but that changes nothing. I saw literally nothing untoward.
Their reaction probably reflects where they sit in the table, and some of the results earlier in the day, more than the play on the pitch.
