  1. I watched some kid from MorningStar on Bloomberg last night discussing the call with Elmo in Tesla’s economic future. He repeatedly said that everything was fine, that Elon often has several balls in the air at one time so he is spending time in the government’s not a big deal, and it doesn’t look like any downside to being in politics in Germany and America. WTF? Tesla’s brand recognition is so unfavorable that people are showing their hatred of Tesla in Elmo by attacking cars and showrooms. I think German sales were down about 50%. My God, while those among Trump supporters who can afford one will buy one, the progressive and Democrats will largely refuse to buy a Tesla chest based on DOGE. To have someone on TV who is supposed to be an economic sophisticate tell you that Elmo’s work on DOGE and his support of far right candidates in Germany is a nothing burger makes me seriously doubt everything that’s coming out of economic journalism today.
  2. i’m not really sure what she’s resisting, but I’m almost positive it’s not Little Debbie.
  3. It looks like Ms. Carlson had a thing going on with that old man they called “Flounder” from back east. It seems to me that given they are so very concerned about the physical advantages of trans women in sports, that Carlson should be actively recruiting trans women to help bring in the crop.
  4. My poor college roommate would call in some kind of pineapple pizza combo right before a pizza place shut down for the evening - and then not go pick it up. He’d drive by the dumpster out back an hour later and invariably the untouched pizza would still be in the box. The employees didn’t want it.
  5. I think a two pronged response is the best way to go. You need to dramatically increase your porn consumption - while at the same time working to optimize your memory skills/retention. That way you can remember the porn even though you can’t see it anymore.
  6. You’re gonna have to tell me what Harris and Biden did to stop the magma formation in Yellowstone. It’s like they just stood there for four years and let it happen.
  7. Well, when business is down 2 billion that means there are significant cost savings for the company when you cut a large part of the accounting department who don’t have to process sales anymore. Tesla is getting lean and mean baby, a self-DOGE!!!
  8. I watched a fascinating documentary about Australian aborigines. They showed movies from the 1960s of the first encounter with a distant bush tribe. Being hunter gatherers, they were constantly on the move and so very physically active. And if what you tried to catch escaped you, you didn’t’ have dinner that night. Every one of those people had a BMI that looked like the dude saying, “look at me - I’m the captain now.” they then interviewed current members of the tribe. Every woman would give Vic a Boner. To a person, they were morbidly obese and suffering from diabetes and various heart problems. The government convinced them to quit trapping around miles a day after lizards - and to stay in a village and get free processed food. The lesson was simplistic, but deadly accurate.
  9. What if he and Trump destroy the value of the next five largest companies in the world? You didn’t think of that Mr. Smart Guy, now, did ya?
  10. I fell in love with MFC Danger Girl…. Nighttime would find me in French Quarter bistros… Music would play as she stabbed and she hurled…
  11. It rained at 9 inches yesterday near my hood. It rained all day throughout the fishbowl that is Metro New Orleans. It took me two hours of waiting for standing flood water to recede off streets until I could finally make it home. That rain stuff, I wish we could give you some of ours.
  12. Glenngarry leads are weak? No.
  13. per iphone AI That gives each pope slightly over a decade, on average, to make his mark.
  14. Actually, we are not disagreeing. You look at the issue from the standpoint of members of the congregation or religion. Your view on that is entirely correct. I’m looking at it from the standpoint of those who are not members of the congregation or that religion. there appears to be universal condemnation so long as you are not one of the particular cult members. I totally agree with you that Moonies are going to Moonie
  15. This is exactly one of Putin’s policies in Russia. I think if you have a dozen children, you get a wheelbarrow full of cabbage.
  16. These two boys on bicycles came by the house and would not shut up about why I had to read some book they wanted me to read. I told them I was busy, but you’ll be sitting in the hospital for five days. Go see you.
  17. I took that to mean that while religious organizations do not meet those standards, lots of folks expect religious leaders to act more morally - even if they don’t. You even see it in criminal statues. There are harsher penalties if the exploiter is in charge of the youth that he or she molests. It’s like how I would prefer that my politicians do not get caught with a mistress. But I have a different standard if that politician is always banging the familyvalues drum. Which is not to say it’s OK to cheat on your wife if you’re not a family values Republican, it’s just not as hypocritical as when you are personally posing as a moral example to the public. I think that is what he means by saying held to a higher standard.
  18. Apparently, they are hung up on the request that the Prime Minister’s deputy dress in a Sailor Moon costume. Also, Trump insists on them serving well done Wagyu steaks at negotiation dinners, but the Japanese chefs are balking.
