My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

And I guess in another Special K fueled bender, he ends up revieling the man behind the curtain, in other words, who most of those trolls and major influencers on his platform actually are.

Again? Extorting the media, while letting his guys (Faux, OANed, Newsmin) lie in ways that get people murdered via a fashion reminiscent of blood libel while he gets literal billion dollar paychecks from this now is the one of the biggest double standards I see.

I like to refer to this building and its identical twin across the street as Comcast's revenge, as when the sun shines just right towards the later hours it dazzles you I have found.

Things that make you say hmmm. Unless the flatcars the racks are on are hitting 50 years old (FRA has a 50 year limit for most freight equipment, old ones may be there), looks like it's going to be a tough year for auto sales, if it isn't already.

So for once it was one of our folks from the Brevard Containment Zone and not "Massachusetts Transplant Man" who caused chaos as the news often confuses for.

So for the 2nd time since 1/6, I apologize for the leaking of the Brevard Contianment Zone.

Listening to the LEGO Island soundtracks (plus a few mixes), such a great childhood memory. Remember playing it on a AST from 1995 at a frame rate of 0.2 FPM. Still managed to beat it then somehow.

It's a sad day when in journalism when British tabloid press can now be taken more seriously than legit traditional sources.

With reality falling apart, it won't be long until VoK on shortwave starts sounding reasonable and not completely insane...

Sometimes I gotta wonder if we're in a Temu version of the 1960s with worse music and more depressing airliners.

Listening to my mom parrot miracle claims and prices from an advertisement reminds me there is a large swathes of the population that would do whatever insanely and potentially fatal suggestion if an ad told them to do it, no matter how nonsensical or too good to be true it is.

Mark my words on this. The whole 1970s ceiling fan logo thing is a PR stunt like ihob, and they'll continue with the current logo.

I guess once this outage dies, they'll move on from cheerleaders to Flight Attendants, where we have to remind them that male flight attendants were common before the 1940s and that what we associate as FAs from the 40s to the 60s was largely marketing to attract business travelers.
