When the lines hit your eye

FAFO is "poison to the journalist’s soul"? LOL. Responsible Journalists write for truth and justice, not stenography for power. Actions have consequences. These idiots are finding that out. So, no, FAFO is actually appropriate to the plight these fools find themselves in.

Exactly this. I'm more of an NDP person, but the point holds: Truth and Integrity are what matter in this realm, political parties are secondary.

It's all good. Frankly, one can be massively partisan and still be fair and critical. All it takes is integrity and honesty. So, if some people ditch you because you criticised their hero, fine. Did you do so fairly? Did you did it honestly? Yes? Yes? Then FINE - you're good. Ignore the fools.

He's 62yo. He might be sick of the weather. Works at the FL Uni for say, 5 years, and retires to... FLORIDA. where he already lives. Summers suck, and it's going under water, but it beats an icy late March and subfreezing weather and brutal humid winters. That's my guess.

Imagine: A very sharp realistic photograph of a donkey standing in a skiff. The skiff is floating on a very large and very calm lake. The far shore is not visible in the mist.

I think the humour and playfulness will come to Bluesky - it'll just take time. I also believe that if they took a page from Facebook and allowed arbitrarily long posts, it would help. It's hard to tell an interesting and funny story in so few characters.

Horden: Has the European Union, has China, has India—have these countries reached out?
Bessent: Well, they've all reached out, but it's going to be up to President Trump to see what he wants to do. I-I think the mindset might be to let things settle for a while...

They are idiots.

I coulda sworn I was a bus boy there in high school for about a month. It was somewhere on Rte 9 / 35, in New Jersey up in Woodbridge. When fiction is unnervingly real.
