This one is from 87.

So we're not so different after all.

Not sure which thread I should drop this in but it is Russia related. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/justin-trudeau-tucker-calrson-russian-propaganda Tucker Carlson Funded by Russian Propaganda Machine, Justin Trudeau Testifies Under Oath

The Handmaid's Tale at work and No Longer Human at home.

That's printers for ya. I'd be looking at the print head as they can get clogged.

The difference between cryogenic freezing and getting cooked alive with my shower knob is roughly one micron.

Everyone knew it was going to happen but not this soon. I wonder if Trump will toss him to the side like everybody else who has lost their usefulness to him. If so, will Musk turn on him? You know he has to have some dirt on Trump but he'd also likely be implicating himself.

Trump is an idiot with a fragile ego. I don't think that's going to happen. I think he's going to try to go full scorched earth.

I understand that there are laws that require disclosure of ingredients but it still sounds silly.

Because the label neglected to say that it contained milk. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nearly-80-000-pounds-costco-215645276.html

I heard it was Red Herring. This one might be too obscure.

Republicans emboldened by Trump's win are now sending racist text messages. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fbi-justice-department-investigating-racist-mass-texts-election-115660990

I think you hit the nail on the head. Ignorance is the biggest factor. People don't know how government works. People don't realize that even presidents have(or at least did...) limited powers. People don't know how the economy works. People don't know how capitalism works. People don't understand the power of speculation. People don't think about the damage COVID did to our infrastructure. People don't realize how COVID effected our economy. People don't realize bad actors are taking advantage of the whole situation and making things worse. Then of course they're ignorant of the corruption in politics. Sure, they know it's there but they don't know who's doing what and will vote against their best interest. You say you can fix ignorance which is true for some people, but others are too proud to admit they're wrong.

It's more like too much of the population are absolute idiots or you know, racist. Who in their right mind would vote for a rapist, a fraud, a draft dodger, a racist, a sexist, a con man, a pathetic unraveling moron who shits his pants?

Waiting for the results.

Starting on Around the World in 80 days tomorrow as I just finished my last one. Then I'm done with my big honk'n 4 book collection...book.

I can't even tell what's real anymore.

Think I've only been to one once and I was whelmed.

Give this cameraman a medal.

Suddenly the claim that Trump is miming giving two hand jobs with his dance seems more plausible.

And it just got worse. A warning, this is descriptive and goes into detail. https://variety.com/2024/music/news/sean-diddy-combs-accused-drugging-raping-10-year-old-boy-1236192895/
