Same as it ever was - Geezer Comics, Public Corruption, American Philosophers, & The Fate of Humanity
Functionalist Grammar Policing done cheap
Burning & forgetting all Roger Moore Bond movies would be a great service to humanity & the memory of Roger Moore, a quite decent man by all accounts.
The media is focused on the big picture

“Our entire team was amazed — Gertrude and her egg were the talk of the reserve,” said the manager of a British nature reserve.
An ‘unlucky in love’ flamingo recently laid her first egg. She’s 70.

Our last cat lost catfights the 2 times she went outdoors as a near grown kitten.
After that she stayed inside for 9 years. Then she went out, found that the others were gone, and spent her last 5 years wherever she wished.
Ah, you know that book! Grisham created a villain they could fight, but mostly it's a giant system, and fighting the tide.
(I get why you couldn't have them go after John Roberts or Betsy DeVos)
Good luck with this one, and hope you keep at it.
So, like The Rooster Bar, by John Grisham?

WaPo just told us they're going to focus on the Hunter Biden trial.
Both sides would be a step up from where they're going.
At the time the WaPO has turned all its editing over to white men from Murdoch shops?
At the time they have 3 strikes against their Supreme Sourt Coverage? (Hiding the flag story, spiking & firing Balko, the Porter atrocity?)
They should just change their name to Foxlight.
Ted liked a 3 minute intro. The full scene was about 30 minutes, and pretty good. Cory Chase is a real pro.
British politics should only be practiced with a proper soundtrack

He's moved on to whining about the woman who dumped him a year or so ago. Estelle, not Stell. Estelle was over Wilbur the moment her door hit him in the ass.
Strange rubbery fungus grew in my parents basement. It was not food to me.
Neither is cauliflower.
Dune's all gray & brown & indistinguishable from scene to scene.
You can talk as long as you want as long as you don't wake them up.
Also too, Trump wrote off his Chicago Tower on his 2008 taxes & then shuffled it around, sold some condos, and took losses that should have been gains because their basis was $0

IRS Audit of Trump Could Cost Former President More Than $100 Million
The tax agency concluded in its long-running investigation that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on his failed Chicago tower.

youtu.beThere's a really basic flip in Christianity, from the violent, harsh, polygamist, rulebound, active GOD of the Pentateuch through Kings, to the completely different New Testament. Some Christians acknowledge this. Others idolize some of the 10 commandments & ignore all the other rules.
At least the lighting is enough to see what's going on. But who would want to? Why challenge the viewer? Put on a gottdam show!
Watching Dune II. Why is everything brown & gray?
Can desert movies be better?
Yes. Yes they can.
What the hell happened to cinematography?
It's been 17 years since the last housing crash started, about 11 since the debris got cleared. You'd think we'd be due for another crash, but there hasn't been a lot of construction or crazy lending.
Should be a lot of vacancies when Trump arrests 10,000,000 people.

I don't think Brooks gets "Self servingly."
He lives so deep in it, he's never considered other approaches.
As of their last available 990 (2001), the only paid officer was the executive director & she was making a pittance. The only squirrely thing is on their website where they boast of adopting out 450 cats in 2023. 9 cats a week isn't much.
I'd have ended it with "Bonus points!", but your "so be it" says the same thing with just a touch of subtlety.
"Average" is meaningless. House practice is to use median, since there are always a few mansions. You used 2023 adjusted to 2024. 2023 was a bad year because rising interest rates locked people in place.
There are lots of issues with affordable housing.
Size, supply, zoning

Comics for children are a zombie wasteland of punishment, broken souls, bad physics, and other trash that should have been dumped generations ago.
At least no kids read this garbage
For the next 2 years McConnell can just shuffle around muttering "Evil, evil, evil"
The picture looks like Kissinger, who loved fame, power, & autocratic violence.
Dorothy Tennov, in a 1973 book, took apart psychotherapy, male dominance, and most of all turned Professional standards into an epithet of self interest. D Pup says check it out!
