Maybe he’ll be feeling ballsy enough an actually order up some of his numb-nuts followers to commit a felony on Truth Social. He can only go so long before believing he’s a modern day Pablo Escobar. That’ll get him sent away.

Soooo, The LakePowell system works fine, as long as conditions are absolutely ideal.

Oops.

Gotta expect Solar to become very popular in cities dependent on Lake Powell’s power production.

Good question. If there isn't an exact term for his bloviating stlye, we all need one common term for describing his particular brand of BS.

An arrest at least generates some interest in him. cmy guess is chance of nil, nothing, zippo.

Transgender issues in sports is a bible- belt conversation analogous to"'them immigrants is taking my jobs from me conversation. It only exists in the heads.of those people imagining it to be a real concern. I've got better things to spend my time on folks. Piss off and go away shit birds.

oops. I do want to amend this thought t add that thhe genuine issue is that we have waaay too many shitbirds amongst us that want to crap onthe lives of transgender individuals.

Agreed. I’m generally of the mind that baseball needs some serious updating. Unless a person is a huge fan of The Sandlot”, “Field of Dreams, or”TheNatural, baseball is increasingly difficult to engage with.

katakowsj  ·  29 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What superstitions do you have?

Baseball could do without the Superstitions. They can e so odd and nonsensical. It alienates the younger generation that look for ways to engage in the game. what’s your view on pitch clocks? My son had waaaay too many super-late little league games that had to be ended arbitrarily due to darkness, and player safety, that I expect pitch clocks will eventually become accepted and possibly save a game that cannot meet the needs of folks that keep a schedule.

Knocking on wood seems useful to me. I often see it as a way of reflecting withgratitude on something positive in my life. I might mention to my wife,” Knock on wood, but tomorrow’s weather is predicted to be nice so I can get out and run a few miles. Knocking o wood is recognizing things are pretty good and there are no guarantees they’ll stay that way. I’ve no good reason to change it and don’t expect to do so.

Sure.Be willing to admit your white privilege is that you've never been stopped for driving while black, or that having never had your ancestors.owned, or redlined while. buying housing, or being subjected to Jim Crow Laws has left you with a privileged head start in life over those whose ancestry were purposely penalized in their efforts in working to achieve financial success.

Being white seems cool. Being white and ignoring the challenges of those that are not , is a dick move.

Speak as a douchebag. Get canceled as one.

I've been thinking of watching Parasite again. I haven't seen it with my kids yet. Just watched Pulp Fiction with my 15 year old son. He said he "thoroughly enjoyed it".

Also wanna watch Carl Sagan's Contact with my son anddaughter They're both primed to discuss how& when if science and religion are able to able to coexist.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out.

It's wholly satisfying to review how the GOP clown car sar was like the proverbial frog in a pot. They were the one's slowly kicking up the heat, cooking theirPartieslegitimacy away slowly. Only recognizing it waay too late (Insert Nelson Muntz "ha-haw" here).

Iguess the topic hit a sore spot for me. I had wogood friendsI see far less often as he and his wofegot caught up in the jackassery of wine and.bourbon snobbery that my wife and I ccould not justify ever trying to keep up with. Dissapointing to find the friendship was built on a bed of san, I guess.

It's nice to know I can always count on a thorough response from the blOO. AAThanks for the food for thought. Jeff.
