  1. Obviously amazing sites in Cairo. But the air quality was so bad when we there, it was hard to go outside. I have all these pictures at the Pyramids where it looks like it's a rainy, foggy, overcast day, just from huge amounts of smog. After I left for Aswan, had a lingering cough for a few days. But maybe I'm down on it because I really didn't explore much in Cairo. And our hotel was far from the Four Seasons. I was just jet lagged, having trouble breathing, and wanted to get further afield. Edit to add that I loved the rest of our time in Egypt, but Cairo was difficult.
  2. Unless he dies, Trump will be the nominee. And regardless of whether he is the 47th president, he will "win" the election, and bring the country down with him.
  3. Any suggestions for what to do with 1-2 days in London? I've been there before, and have been to many of the touristy things like the Tower and Westminster, but it's been many years. About to leave on a business trip there, and I'll have maybe a day or so at the end of free time.
  4. For how many years have people been commenting on dotard melting down on Twitter or Truth Social? His melt downs don't signify jack shit.
  5. NYPD is MAGA. There is no matchup.
  6. The police will be joining the side of the protesters.
  7. Lol. Probably. Except he's one of the few on my ignore list.
  8. Ok. Fair enough. I saw the wall of text pontificating on race relations and may have overthought things.
  9. Is SL Express Tahoe?
  10. What in the actual fuck? And, seriously, on a day in which Nazis have declared a Day of Hate against Jews, and in recent years for the first time in my life when I'm uneasy telling people that I'm Jewish, you're complaining that the problem is we're too insular. After leaving my synagogue this morning, which required extra security, a few weeks after another synagogue down the road had a Molotov cocktail thrown at it, I really, really don't want to be lectured about how I'm too insular. And IMO philosemitism is just a method of Jewish othering.
  11. It won’t. Desantis would send them to a godless immoral hellish blue state where they’d get their abortions.
  12. Who the fuck knows? Maybe wait till a month or two out from the trip? I got the bivalent in September just after it came out, probably too close to my first run with Covid in retrospect. But I was going to a conference for work and had a vacation scheduled for shortly after the conference (which would have been my second vacation ruined by Covid). Didn't get Covid at the conference. Just got it for the second time, a couple weeks ago despite four shots, although it was very mild. Basically a couple days of congestion, with a fever the first night.
  13. We're arguing clinical depression makes him unfit to serve? WTF. Someone shoulda told this guy:
  14. She does realize that she'd be living in the "blue" country in the divorce, right? No, no she doesn't.
  15. The powers that be are treating trump like a white collar criminal and not like someone who committed a violent crime and is a danger to society every minute he remains free. That's the disconnect.
  16. I guess I'm skeptical that this universally White group is going to lead to positive social change at a college that didn't admit it's first Black student until 1967.
  17. Were southern based White churches involved in the Civil Rights movement, or more likely to be segregationist? Weren't most of the churches involved in the Civil Rights movement, at least in places like small town Kentucky Black churches?
  18. Went 2 plus years without getting it. Now have it for the second time in about 6 months. Fuck. Managed to do a bunch of overseas trips without getting it, but apparently a long weekend at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere was a bridge too far late last week. Mostly just really, really tired.
  19. Jesus. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/07/us/tyre-nichols-photo-memphis-demetrius-haley.html

    LBGTQ

    That asshole. I refuse to listen to his voice, so hopefully this is an accurate summary of the "speech" he posted on his hell site yesterday.
  21. I'm probably missing something. But why would trump need to consent to use of the tapes? Woodward taped him on equipment he, or S & S owned, in connection with an interview trump agreed to. I don't think trump got a share of the profits from Woodward's book... I don't see why Woodward and Simon & Schuster couldn't do whatever the hell they wanted with the tapes.
  22. Jesus, there was finally one of these bad enough, or the officers Black enough, that my local PD actually issued a statement condemning them. Signed up for general town alerts (eg. no trash pickup tomorrow), and this actually showed up in my inbox. I'm not sure how I feel about it. They're saying the right things now, but I doubt they're actually doing them. And they sure as fuck didn't say anything about George Floyd, Breona Taylor, or any of the other police murders.
  23. You seem to have appointed yourself as their defense attorney. I'm not sure why you would want to voluntarily take on that assignment. To the extent this is "the same thing they would do in court, on both sides." I call bs. Whether or not the victim was driving erratically is completely irrelevant to them murdering him. It's like the defense attorneys back in the day, digging into a rape victim's sexual history to try and justify their client being a rapist. Which i guess means that given America and Blue Lives Matter this will all come into play. I can't fathom purposefully taking that position on a message board in my free time though. But you do you.
  24. I'm wondering how many other times these cops did this. They acted with impunity, because they thought there would be no consequences. Probably because there haven't been consequences for decades upon decades.
