I remember once criticizing Obama’s oratory skills because I was comparing him to the great speakers like Kennedy and Nixon.

I promise you, I will never, *ever* do that again.

I could tell I genuinely offended her by suggesting her poker face had a certain “it looks could kill” quality. But she is all business and I for one love it.

And the way she bets? No Hollywood frippery. 7,500 to call? Stacks up one 5,000 two 1,000 one 500, fires them ahead as if from a piston.

There is a woman of a grandmotherly age in our local poker community. Absolutely sweet and lovely woman, always with a smile in passing or a story at the bar during break times.

But when the clock starts up again? She's got a face so intense, she could make medicine sick.

Between this post and your “sex matters to Quakers” post, I’ve let the good lady know she’s off the hook for tonight.

She sends her thanks.

If he were the last casino dealer at the last blackjack table in the world, I’d go out and sign the pledge, if you follow.

It’s being remade?

It’s the only mainline RE game I haven’t played through to a finish and I really don’t think I ever will.

I have been blessed to be well off enough in life that I have all the knick-knacks and tchotchkes I could use. What I don't have so much of is time. And a half hour zoom call where you pretend my tired old jokes are still funny, and my catch phrases are still witty, would mean immeasurably more.

While I completely understand and appreciate your roasting of this dystopian take from Fox News, I can say that as a man almost "of a grandfatherly age", if I had grandchildren and I knew money was tight for them, I wouldn't want them to spend a cent on a gift. Just stop by for a visit :)

Of course, there may be some issue of the optics, of a grown man being 'in congress' with a significantly younger woman, but nothing illegal was done and the facts absolutely exonerated them.

And as a great President once said, he welcomed that kind of examination :)

Once, a woman tried to blackmail legendary hockey player Jaromir Jagr. She took, uh, post-coital pictures of the two of them, and she threatened to release them unless he paid up.

As he was single, and she was an adult who consented freely to sex with him, he simply leaked the photos himself. ->

Do a recount on the TP supply.

I would be at peace with him resigning peacefully, as long as they changed the locks right after he left, and they had someone follow him home.

I’ll ask you plainly, Mr. President; will this be what finally does him in?

Of course they deserve to eat. They can pack a bag lunch and no one will stop them. And last time I checked, "is a member of ICE" is not a protected category for equal accommodation laws.

The rockets go up -- who cares WHERE they come down?

IDGAF if she's doing it to win a bar bet. We all know how Trump treats women and we know how he treats people who defy him; MTG is willing to be both to take a stand, I'm willing to give her the "second-best time is now" benefit of the doubt at least long enough to judge her next actions by that.

I apologize for surely being repetitive, but every time I see FF6 get some love, and specifically the Dream Oath Opera get some love, I am bound by moral duty to post this, if only so I have an excuse to listen to it again.

Are they related to the reasons I’d pick Panam, perchance?

You’re the second person just this week to mention that site. I guess I better use it fast before Musk blocks it, huh?

Nduja sausage? Someone’s a Scrabble player, I see. I’m assuming you acquired this jnana through meditation?

Like even if what you’re doing is only 95% of what I’d say is optimal, like hell yeah, good on you for that 95% :) but honestly, I don’t miss Twitter. When I want an argument, I just go on Threads and suggest men are not Satan incarnate, and that seems to work ;)

at least the free Grok app seems normal now. Pardon the blue language.

I don’t have a Truth Social account. I don’t have a Gab account (anymore — Christ, what an experience that was). The more X turns into TS/Gab 2.0, the less I would want to be there. Simple and plain.
