Trump thinking, "I cut a good one!"

Mamdani thinks, "How much longer must I stand next to stinky?"

True enough. We all depend on others' discoveries, from the moon to germ theory. It doesn't help when charlatans like RFKjr are treated like royalty.

Fox "News" Special Report: NASA says the Earth isn't a sphere!

Behind the scenes: NASA uses the term "oblate spheroid" to describe the Earth instead of "sphere" and Fox runs with it, leaving out "oblate spheroid" and its definition.

The MSM will search for that one guy out of 100,000 who supports the "moon cheese theory," interview that guy along with *one* actual scientist, and present it to the public as a debate, as if both viewpoints carry equal weight.

And if data is stored in a database, databases maintain transaction logs precisely to allow roll forward recovery from a backup, with little to no loss of data.

For what it's worth, here's something else I found. A possibility for older iPhones.

That's not a plan; that's a capitulation.

I'm not as familiar with Apple as I am with Android. I think Apple has much more of a lock on apps than Android does.

Then again, maybe not. I tried searching for ice block app and found this URL.

Apps that aren't listed by Apple or Google can still be installed, if you know where to look. What Apple and Google are providing is really just a convenience, like going to a large grocery store versus a mom and pop business.

Why was VP Mike Pence so worried about a not-hate symbol?

After Vance finished with it.

It all depends on how you couch it.
November 21, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Imagine if both Trump and Vance were impeached and removed from office before the 2026 elections.

Say hello to President Mike Johnson. 😱

OTOH, if Dems sweep 2026 and achieve a majority in the House, a Dem becomes Speaker in 1/2027, and president after a dual impeachment. 👍

Isn't that the other way around? Impeach (aka bring charges) in the House, then removal from office by the Senate. That opens up Trump to judicial criminal charges and trials.

That's "Democratic-led." I expect a news organization to know the difference between a noun (Democrat) and an adjective (Democratic).

I date back to the pre-internet days of "security by obscurity" when most computers were mainframes or midrange and ran unique OSes, Like GCOS-8 on Honeywell mainframes, or MOD400 on their midrange.

MOD400 was similar to UNIX. Call it UNIX's cousin. Both were derived from MULTICS.

Watters: "I don't know and I don't care."

Ignorance and apathy in one sentence. How efficient of him.

Meant to say "*months*" the DOJ has sat on it.
November 20, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Or at the very least, he thinks he has the upper hand.

Anyway, given the *month* the DOJ has been sitting on it, I call BS on needing 30 days more. Then it will fall into the "2 weeks" loop.

Wherever I can, I set up 2FA using a one-time pass code (I think it's the same thing as an RSA soft token) that changes every 30 seconds, instead of texting or email.

I do avoid biometric security (fingerprint/face) on my phone, because SCOTUS says it's okay for cops to force biometric compliance.
