So the investigation violated a policy but did not violate any laws, and we all know from Trump’s control of the Justice Department that policy violations are kinda the new policy.

The letter is necessary, carefully worded, and effective in its warning. How sad it’s come to this.

Human Seal saying “that’s a good looking seal” at the end salvaged it for me, just barely.

Now we know why Trump picked the Chiefs to win.

I followed you back. Let’s get to know each other via our posts and shares rather than DMs, if that’s ok.

Until we take seriously the myriad reasons voters chose Trump, & until we take seriously the impact of millions of Dems labeling & judging those voters, we are going to keep losing elections.
Call Trump a racist. Call S. Miller a racist. Resist calling all 77M Trump voters racist.
I voted Harris.

Courts are often slow & lack a mechanism of enforcement for Presidents. Impeachment & conviction fail with MAGA in control. This flaw in our system needs fixing.
As Andrew Jackson said regarding the SCOTUS enforcing its own rulings: "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."

When she shows up at the Super Bowl in an Eagles jersey, cheering for her boyfriend, so many will be confused! 🤣

… and no, it doesn’t get any better after episode 4.
Billy Bob gamely makes the best of the script he’s given, but his love for his ex stretches incredulity.
The soft porn is de rigueur in every episode.

I am a big fan of Billy Bob Thornton, but what a sexist show. Tommy (Landman) is a strong male character, & his son Cooper’s a big hearted entrepreneur. Ali’s a bimbo ex-wife, Ainsley is a bimbo daughter, the 1 strong female is Ariana, a newly single Mom (widow) confirming making babies is job 1. 🙄

Without a Trump Justice Department to enforce the law, who would they fear?

Trump doesn’t read novels (too long, more than 2 pages), but it is completely plausible whoever got in his ear with this idea got it from the novel. 🤣

I just saw the pattern +1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6… to compute my answer. Made sense that cutting a 2-dimensional pie (circle) could add at most 1 more piece than the last iteration added.

I don’t disagree with anything you wrote.
I’ve moved to online access to many things in my home & on my boat, accepting the associated security risks. I password protect everything, & your point about defaults is spot on.
I skipped WiFi features when I replaced my fridge, & I would on a stove too.

Nice, and accurate. 👍🏻
Cabinet “ceiling” (vertical space available for fridge), not room ceiling, and it sounds about right.

You might want to remotely turn it off if you accidentally left it on when you left your home.

You raise an interesting point, which I hadn’t considered when I bought my Linksys routers, but fortunately Foxconn (owners of Linksys) is based in Taiwan.
Will your concerns change if Elon Musk acquires Tik-Tok?

The article is good. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but Darnold overthrew long balls, failed to see open receivers, missed chances to throw the ball away to avoid sacks, & compounded holding the ball too long with often choosing the wrong escape route.
The coaching wasn’t much better.

There are ways Meta & its advertisers can track your purchase activities, including those directly from the advertiser’s sites or through other platforms.
The safest approach (hard) is boycott stuff advertised on Meta.
Or, wait a month after seeing the ad before buying, & scroll past repeat ads.

3rd largest US war death toll after the civil war & WW2, more than Vietnam or Korean wars, but yes, far less than many other countries that fought in WW1.
As for lessons learned from history, just 25 years later we were in WW2, 5 years later Korea, 12 years later Vietnam.
Maybe war’s inevitable?

True, but meaningless.
No one will enforce this prohibition of Trump possessing a firearm.
If someone tried to enforce it, given the previous assassination attempts he could argue that, as part of his duties as President, he must possess a gun for protection. SCOTUS gave him immunity.
Sad.

Well, no atmosphere, or a very thin atmosphere, are pretty easy to look through at any wavelength. A column of water gets increasingly hard to look through as depth increases.
We have (unsurprisingly) excellent maps of the surface below the ocean in shallow coastal waters.

WW1 in 1860-1940 kinda contradicts the point. Maybe it’s the LONGEST people can accept historical lessons is while some who lived the events still live, but we are capable of forgetting even while they live.

Two. Don’t ignore Melania’s emulation of her husband here.

Trolls are always loud and over represented in online comments, so we must take care not to interpret their fraction of comments as representing their fraction of the population.
“It’s us that’s broken” overstates it, although some of us are obviously broken.
Helping the LA victims is admirable!

I thought once a Community Note attained a status of “approved” it became public & was visible to all. I thought “approved” was supposed to reflect some consensus being reached among those writing/responding to Community Notes.
I agree it is a limited form of moderation.
I am no longer on X.
