It was Steinway. They didn’t want their rented pianos damaged. (or stolen)

I had a seizure during his first term and could not remember my name or the year, so they didn’t bother asking me who was president. I wonder what I would have said?

You mean the guy that called Obama a liar DURING the State of the Union address?

Actually, I am surprised at the prevalence of “OK” in every language. Mt father used to get annoyed that Captain Kangaroo used it so frequently.

Caving would be resigning. This is called “stringing them along.”

Is “their days will be numbered” referring to their careers or their existence?

It worked like a charm with Obama, and they have forgotten that Biden is white.

I live in the desert, and like many here, do not have any way to measure individual water consumption; it just gets divided up by an HOA. Thus I have no real incentive to conserve, or a way to judge the success of any such efforts.

They depleted their stocks so they would not be able to supply Ukraine or defend Europe/Taiwan. It’s a gift to Putin and Xi.

Whenever Trump makes outrageous demands I check to see if the Chaplin lookalike did something similar. The answer is always yes! He lacks originality.

Dr. Laurence J Peter used to refer to it as the “lateral arabesque.”

Same, except I know few personally. I’ve learned to evaluate art independent of its creator, which bothers many.

Whenever Trump says “a lot” he uses this funny voice that drives me nuts. OK, nuttier.

At least he was honest.

This is hardly surprising. Biological warfare is big business, even if it might kill “both sides.”

If memory serves me, he also got to inadvertently fondle Raquel Welch in “Fantastic Voyage.”

Resentment is his entire schtick. He’s not hard to figure out. Putin has him pegged.

I am NOT a fan of how AI is being used currently, but a lot of the objections I’m hearing were also leveled at radio, TV, audio recordings, photography, moving pictures, electronic games, electronic musical instruments, etc.

I misread it as “Hegseth Takes an Axe to Genitals” and found myself hoping this meant he’d been hit in the crotch. Testosterone shots might not fix that.

Adhesive? I meant aggressive (like the autocorrect on this site).

Richard Zencker @zencker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Capitalism rewards the first to market, so the technology of its consumer products is often immature. Capitalists engage in competitive marketing. These adhesive ad campaigns are the reason US cars (and healthcare) are so expensive.

“taking sides” against lies

Richard Zencker @zencker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Word on the street is that if he can tell a million lies he finally gets an office to do his interviews. He’s obviously terrified of setting foot in a TV studio. Is it claustrophobia? Paranoia?

A movement built on resentment doesn’t need policy objectives. In fact it has to avoid having them.

The very worst punishment his ego could ever be dealt would be not being remembered. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to forget him.

Fun fact: I had never heard of her until 1983 when I acquired a recoding of Charles Koechlin’s “Seven Stars Symphony.”
