Square-state old guy with a rambunctious curiosity and little to say. I stare at my feet a lot.

I'm a 75 y.o. male with CAD, had a COVID jab in June. Should I get another?

Not taxpayers exactly... the US Treasury can just do the modern equivalent of printing up a bunch of money, and we kick the debt down to our kids and grandkids. So taxpayers, but not us. ibgybg.

Read the article. It's short and insightful: "... the guardrails of this liberal democracy were illusions easily dispelled by one who would dare." "...an elite opposition that mostly believes in handing over It's lunch money."

Do you like maps?? I’m in a briefing where the USGS shared these amazing 3D Elevation images that are just so cool. Find your state/district, and behold this example of DC! www.usgs.gov/3d-elevation...

I just took the NYT dialect test and it said my vocabulary most resembles that of people from Fresno or Modesto, which is ridiculous because I'm from Bakersfield.

Ann Leckie writes good books and people should stop annoying her so she will write more books. This is not difficult.

Breaking: Congress funds government. I'm old enough to remember a time when that wouldn't have warranted so much as a mention. This is tiring.

With a nod to people who think otherwise (there is room for differences of opinion regarding burgers), I believe we often underestimate the value of a pickle on a burger; good crunch and a hard hit of acid.

Yeah, however you do it. "One-thousand one" etc. and you count too fast, "one hippopotamus" etc. and you only do nine intervals. "Hippopotamus one" etc. makes no sense.

Here's a recommended book-list-interview, for a UK publication. For everyone who has had enough of discourse (as I certainly have): it has a tiny mention of Nolan as the hook, but then we move on to some reading. www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/emil...

Two for two on banger essays.
Nolan shot the Calypso episodes in the disputed Moroccan-occupied territory of Western Sahara without the consent of the Indigenous Sahrawi people. The choice underlines the lack of seriousness in Nolan’s thinking about his themes: the ethical and cultural costs of entering other people’s homes uninvited, for the purpose of extracting resources without respect for an unwilling host.

I wrote about the Trojan horse, and what we can learn from her mouth about different cultural attitudes towards deception and violence. As someone comments below, the phrase GIFT ARTICLE is pretty scary in this context.

Justice served, or embarrased or something. The sham case against Olympic Canoeist Davey Hearn has been dismissed by the DOJ, which admits "botched installation" by the crony contractor -- not any phantom vandalism claimed by Dear Leader Trump -- created the damage at the reflecting pool
