This ought to happen everywhere. Either I’m the admin on my machine or I’m not. If it’s not, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll tolerate a Windows machine.

He’s one of the absolute best.

Silly rabbit! The Mormon theocracy has no constitutional concerns. The only representation they care about in government is their own.

They want to get rid of ad blockers? They should base on the same model that keeps me away: namely, that Facebook is repulsive and useless.

The only way I’d watch Tucker Carlson on purpose is in a cage fight with Mike Tyson. Pay-per-view is fine, but I’ll travel if I have to.

Given trade, it doesn’t seem to be in their best interest to cripple the US.

Nope. Not even once, and that’s just fine.

They meant to say fecal recognition. They’re struggling to determine the difference between a Whopper and a whopping dookie. No luck so far, and I doubt an app is going to help.

I used to live there a long time ago. It wasn’t terribly stable then. It’s sad that it’s only gotten worse. It’s a beautiful place, with some of the kindest people I’ve ever known. I hope they find a way out of this.

Sociologists call it anomie.

I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It’s not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn’t. It’s more that a person with dark triad traits isn’t going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.

In other words, they were already screwed up.

Ben Folds. He’s got classical, jazz and rock chops, with a full helping of the wit and mischief in his lyrics.

There’s nothing objective about that opinion at all. I think Mariah Carey’s song is cynical corporate kitsch written for one reason and one reason only: to make money. That’s why I hate it.

I can tolerate some of the secular big band/swing songs, and there have been a few decent ones since then. Fiona Apple does a brilliant cover of Frosty the Snowman. Vince Guaraldi’s work for the Charlie Brown Christmas show is still wonderful.

¿Porqué no los dos?

LOL! Good luck with that. You invited me in. I’m not going anywhere. 😈

According to the people who know me intimately, the AI is gonna nope out even harder than I am.

I’m not sure I realized that. Are you getting that info just from the app store, or are you detecting it somewhere else?

Podcast Addict has worked for years for me, and he’s constantly improving it. Why the fuck would I ever want a paid service to manage and profit on the podcasts I’ve always listened to for free?

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Kindle Paperwhite. I’ve had it for six years now. I’ve occasionally cursed it when it forgets the WiFi, but that hasn’t really happened a lot.

The phone app has a lot more features, but it hurts to read on something that small and heavy for very long.

The mob that killed him in jail was upset about the press he’d ordered burnt down after they publicly criticized him.
