Without tying it directly to the differences in adminstrations, this was basically the premise of Michael Lewis's last book, Who is Government? Not only were those people not making the headlines, they almost to a person didn't want to!

I have made several attempts at it and was recommended The Joyce Project as a path through it with wayfinding. I got as far as saving the bookmark and yet, someday…

If President Trump ruins my long-stated plans to be “Bentham’d” on top of the war crimes, the crime-crimes, the inhumanity, and mounting damage to the reputation of the USA, democracy, and the rule of law, well, it seems pretty small in comparison when you list it all out like that.

I made this one custom to talk smack with one of my best friends who’s only real flaw is being a Guardians fan. But we all have to take pity on those born in Cleveland so I let it slide.

This tracks.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy…

I looked very quickly yesterday, forgot completely about it because of life, and got a forfeit. When I went back and saw the answers, I realized I would have gotten them all wrong which took some of the sting out of it. Today, I’m feeling confident about 4/6 and with some thought, I might get there

Persistent questioning like this helps point out the Mack truck-sized holes in the President’s ideas and should be a template for others. It would be great to get an ID on the reporter or at least what outlet or “outlet” they represent, if only to see if they do this kind of coverage all the time.

I believe that’s partly due to Thomas Keller (of French Laundry fame) was a consultant so they could get it right.

Sounds exactly like how I settle in to a beach vacation.

Had to dig this one out of the archives:

I’m not gonna argue since everyone has their own tastes. Plus you’ve got some leeway built in with broad categories like “cheeseburger”. But two specifics that will always stand out to me are Dinic’s roast pork with sharp provolone and the muffaletta from Central Grocery in New Orleans.

Reminds me of The Amazing Johnathan!

“Idea” not “use”. Clearly posting mid-morning coffee is not a good use either.

My therapist’s version of this is “Just because you survived running through the fireworks factory with a lit candle does not make it a good use.”

Beastie Boys opening for Madonna on the Like a Virgin tour. I was in 4th grade and only went because my mom was chaperoning my sister’s friends and couldn’t get a sitter.

Funnier answer is Young MC opening for Milli Vanilli. Young MC was the reason I went in the first place. 🤣

Maybe the planes were already in the air before they agreed and so not subject to Trump's verbal cease fire agreement? Did he write it down? These things can be tricky, I hear.

Ugh, & he's got it backwards. What Jesus said is "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." The responsibility is on you to do good so that in theory others would do good to you. The more important ones are "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, you do to Me." & "Turn the other cheek."
