3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

"The Devil Wears Prada 2: A Knives Out Mystery" would break all box office records.
Hoping against hope that this is a murder mystery
The full trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The pitch perfection of Miranda completely forgetting Andy gives me hope that this will be a worthy sequel. [youtube.com]

I’m 33 minutes into the PBS American Experience documentary on The Gilded Age. Oh god, the next 10 years or so are going to be ROUGH.

With all that's going on these days, has anybody else been wondering who is staying at Trump branded hotels? Hotels have to turn rooms to profit. Yes, they're a "luxury" brand, but I have a hard time buying that there are that many monied MAGA folks staying in them. Maybe I'm wrong.

Watching an old episode of Japanese “Iron Chef” and the commentator drops, “this is a Ukrainian wine from 1983. The challenger says he only uses vintages from that region from before 1986 because the wine doesn’t taste as good after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.” 😳

I hate those “every Republican politician should be asked…” posts on here, but someone needs to ask, “if none of this rises to your bar where impeachment would be required, what does? And if it does reach that level already, why haven’t you done something?”

Not a lawyer myself, but a big part of our annual HR sexual harassment training was about how companies can be responsible for creating a hostile workplace if their vendors harass their employees and the company doesn’t intervene. Curious if that would apply here too.
If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

I've been watching 2 different playthroughs of "Blue Prince." One is by a video gamer who sometimes plays puzzle games, and the other is by a puzzle expert who plays video games sometimes. It is fascinating to see the difference between those skill sets when playing the same game.

"They keep rebuilding the living room because they don't like where the sofa is," might be passing, "they're digging a third hole because the first two weren't deep enough," as my favorite folksy office expression to use.

My “snow equipment” is my great aunt’s small plastic snow shovel from the 1960s and a large metal push broom I bought at Costco 3-4 years ago. Guess which one survived my snow removal attempt.

For the past couple of years, my biscuit making game has been kinda shit. So, I’ve been sciencing on how to make them fluffier and more layered. I think I finally cracked it.

Me speaking in Canadian hockey accent to the tree outside my window that was enjoying the warm winter a little too much, “I hate to tell ya this, bud, but you’re in for a fuckin’ hell of a week.”

I assume the stores are busy right now. However, if I place an order to be picked up between 9-10am, I expect it to be ready for pickup at 9:00. According to the tracker, they haven’t started picking my items yet, and it’s 9:08.

Louisville is expecting 15-19” of snow Sunday after up to 6” Saturday. Last snow we had over 20” was in 1998. I remember my family lost power for a week, and it took well over 2 months for my friend Jennifer’s family’s power to return. Prepare and be safe, everyone.

When the Hilton story first dropped a couple of weeks back, my first thought was, "holy shit! They're violating the 3rd Amendment now? We hardly ever dust that one off. They really are trying to Pokémon amendment violations now." Nice to know I wasn't the only one that thought that.
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

I've said it since Trump picked Vance to be his VP: Trump is a decoy. Thiel wants Palantir to run the country and needs his puppet JD in the POTUS chair to do it. You have to boot out Trump, Vance, and Johnson, otherwise everything gets worse.
