He showed that with that incident with the Thai kids stuck in the cave. They wouldn't take his submarine because it would never be able to navigate the cavern and he got all pissy and jealous of the actual heroes who accomplished the rescue. Kept calling one a pedo for years.

Who?

Seriously. I haven't seen a word from her since she lost. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren, Katie Porter, and of course AOC are posting and speaking publicly every day. Katie's running for governor of California and I will give her my vote when the time comes.

The DNC clearly has its head up somewhere dark and damp. Harris's campaign went flat as soon as they got involved.

Being the lesser of two evils was just not enough. The Democratic party has been failing to appeal to the working class and alienating groups of what are normally reliable Dem voters by neglecting them.

He wants the rest of the country dragged down so far that Alabama is actually not the worst.

"...anger is growing among Democrats about Green’s antics — which they believe have consumed headlines and distracted from Trump’s actions"

I have not heard of any of Green's antics because Trump's antics are what's consuming the headlines. Seriously, what a load of bullshit. I'm increasingly disgusted with Democrats' lack of response.

He's an SLM - small language model

I was pretty astounded to learn a significant number of Muslims voted for the guy who clearly did not want Muslims entering the county last time around, because they were told Democrats were continuing to arm Israel and thus supported Israel. Which is somewhat true, but because everyone thinks in black and white terms, they decided to believe that "Trump wants to make peace" meant he was going to get everyone to stand down, when the reality is that Trump doesn't give a shit about Palestinians any more than he ever did, and peace to him means getting rid of the Muslims and turning Gaza into a resort for Israelis.

“First they say, ‘Sir, how do you do it? How do you wake up in the morning and put on your pants?’” Trump mused. “And I say, ‘Well, I don’t think about it too much.’ I don’t want to think about it because if I think about it too much maybe I won’t want to do it, but I love it because we’re going to do something for this country that’s never been done before.”

This morning I was joking that he'd blame it on DEI because it was a Black Hawk helicopter. Then I heard the fuckstick really did blame it on DEI

First thing that jumped out at me was the picture of an iron lung which is for polio, not TB.

Not sure how widespread it is in Europe, but it's a thing in Germany to let cashiers sit at checkout.

 

This stephanotis was given to my parents for their wedding in 1961. It bloomed every year for my mom. After she passed in 2019 I took it home and did my best with it. But apparently these plants are notorious for being a bit fussy and resisted all my efforts to get it to flower. Two years ago I read something about how they don't like being rotated, so I stopped doing that and bought a grow light to keep the non-sun side from going bald. That seems to have done the trick. There are about 5 or 6 clusters and this is the first to open up. And yes they smell fantastic!

 

Used a Canon Powershot and solar optical film. Image is normally just shades of blue-gray, but I colorized them in post.

 

I started to polish my nails about 6 weeks ago. When changing polish I've noticed my nails getting yellower at the tips. I've read that the offending ingredient is nitrocellulose, which my base coat has (OPI natural nail) and probably the other coats as well (Essie, Seche Vite). My color polish is typically a light/natural pink.

So my question is, what if anything un-yellows the nails? Should I leave off the polish for N days? Filing (which I don't really want to do as my nails are pretty thin already)?

Thanks and happy new year
