  1. Corollary: My brother and his wife (Fox news junkies), who are in denial about my octogenarian mother's progressing dementia, just flew down with two of their college-age kids to see her. Mind you, they're staying at her house (small cottage in Coral Gables) despite our strong urging that they get hotel rooms nearby. Of course they won't test themselves before going to see her, and I heard that the two kids went out last night IN HER CAR, and left vape pens in there. Leaving aside the completely irresponsible behavior (which I assume included some impaired driving), they likely were out at clubs, potentially bringing back who knows what sort of contagions to her house. Sorry, this just makes me a bit ragey.
  2. Jab 6 this week. First time with Moderna. Wife got hers a few weeks ago and had a pretty severe reaction. Mine has been mild (aches and headache and very mild chills after about 24 hours).
  3. You may not have intended it, but by highlighting her attraction to him the effect was to minimize. Call it unintentional slut shaming. Disgusting regardless of intent.
  4. Just don’t say his name 3 times or he’ll show up here.
  5. This. Any effort to minimize that (at least one recent post) by suggesting that Monica wanted it is disgusting to me. Clinton took inexcusable advantage of a huge power differential and ended up ruining her life for over a decade.
  6. Tor?
  7. I had a huge crush on Mrs. McEnroe back in the day.
  8. That this is posted in January is a nice subtle himblebrag.
  9. Slorch is Derka?
  10. Forget it. He’s rolling.
  11. So…Texas is a Nazi state?
  12. Israel is obliterating the West Bank? I missed that update.
  13. I'm still gaming my M1 TaylorMade driver and Diamana blue board shaft. I've done fittings with newer stuff but there's not been any significant difference in distance or dispersion for me.
  14. Not in the US. Fatty: Gun cOntROl dOeSN't wOrK! https://www.npr.org/2023/12/21/1220939974/prague-school-shooting-deaths
  15. Ha. That guy was a lawyer at a firm where I clerked one summer in law school. Odd bird to say the least, even 35 years ago.
  16. Adam Liptak at the NYT seems to think they'll not let this stand under a theory of "judicial restraint" and the political question doctrine. However, it seems to me that if they do this it would be the opposite of judicial restraint because it would be inserting their own policy concerns (we can't take away people's right to vote for the candidate of their choice) for the language over the fairly clear language of the Constitution (which defines who is eligible to be elected President, such as natural born citizens of at least the age of 35 [or whatever the age floor is]). https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/podcasts/the-daily/trump-colorado-ballot.html
  17. Israel has been occupying Gaza for decades?

  19. It's only unconstitutional if the court says so. (Checking notes, yep we're in the Fifth Circuit and oh, how does that SCOTUS makeup look?)
