Moron: you don’t need a measles shot. Have you ever known anyone who got measles? Me: Before Trump got elected and appointed RFK Jr. to office, no I never knew anyone who had measles. Since then, however, it’s been a different story.

I attended College High before the merger. but Oklahoma History was in Junior High. Maybe we covered it at Central but they didn’t at Madison.

I also grew up in Bartlesville and we studied the Tulsa race riots in our mandatory 9th grade Oklahoma History class.

Driving home we went through a wooded area with a creek like in the movie. I got scared and asked my Dad to lock the doors and drive faster. My brother made fun of me. Later that night, my Dad went outside and scratched on my brother’s bedroom window and he screamed bloody murder. I love my Dad.

The Legend of Boggy Creek, a 1972 independent docudrama film about a Bigfoot like creature spotted near a small town in Arkansas. My Dad took my older brother and me to see it. I was around 9 years old. We lived in a small town in OK very much like the setting of the movie.

You can poo-poo the controversy all you want, but I for one am outraged at the selection of Meryl Streep to voice Aslan the lion. The role clearly should have gone to Dame Judi Dench.

The problem here is really the idiot judge who allowed the video to be played in court.

You’re right. What an interesting observation. Compare the red and blue in the US flag on the left with the red and blue in the banner behind the speaker. They are trying to bring to life some fantasy based on 90 year old propaganda photos.

My guess is those documents show that Epstein was laundering money for Trump.

He’s supposed to be an “AI Influencer” but he doesn’t even know Trump changed the name to Super Intelligence.

I don’t remember electing the AI Influencers, do you? I do remember when the Pope was elected — white smoke and all that pomp and circumstance.

Susan Collins claims that @propublica.org’s reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. 📽️ Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi...

This reminds me of the Futurama episode “Raging Bender” in which Bender is forced to fight Destructor, a giant robot who is secretly being controlled remotely by Leela’s enemy Fnog. When Leela discovers this, she fights Fnog whose movements are mirrored by Destructor who is fighting Bender.

Leela fights Fnog. We see Leela leaning back and preparing to kick Fnog. In the background on a TV monitor we can see that Fnog’s movements are mirrored by Destructor in the ring.

Very interesting. Haven't read the opinion yet but this sounds plausible. Note that Takoma Park, MD has let noncitizens vote for decades, but in local elections only - not federal or state. Maryland law prohibits noncitizens from voting in Fed and state contests. www.poynter.org/fact-checkin...

poynter.org

A Maryland city has let noncitizens vote in local elections for 30 years. How has it worked so far? - Poynter

Takoma Park has allowed noncitizens — including lawful US residents and immigrants in the country illegally — to vote in local elections since 1993

What’s wonderful about this photo is that the man’s attention is wholly focused on the kitten, as it should be and as it would be in real life. I hate most modern “selfie” photos because the people are never engaged with their environment or each other but instead are always looking at the camera.

When I was in college they still had smoking in the back half of the plane, but if you asked for non-smoking, they had to give you a NS seat. If I got a smoking seat, I would request NS and they would move you. A couple of times coach was full and I got bumped to first class.
