I'd don't object to the quality to many of the interior materials and extra points for the tennis court. I'd have to take part of the house (would need more information to choose which) and built an apartment with foyer and locked door to rest of house and its own entrance. I don't know what I'd do with rest of the house so not the house for me.

@wtg Thank you . Learning more online An MRI is being scheduled

Two years ago my niece looked at me and said, "I don't think gays shoud be seen." It still matters to many. Evil never dies, etc. Bernard covered the matter well.

Sagrada Familia is too much for one visit, which is all I did. I liked it and its excess, but it is load for the senses.

Your comment about deciding "how bad I feel" to take a pill describes this morning perfectly... In the midst of another cluster, but so glad there is something that can put it on the back burner for the day.

I’d imagine being an author would make the home’s history…intriguing Quirt’s clients should eternally grateful for his Diligence.

Financial success does not equal journalistic integrity.

Good idea. Too bad the technology (or the budget) is not there to make the balls crystal and seamless.

Nice local write-up https://www.wbez.org/architecture/2026/06/02/museum-tower-obama-presidential-center-maligned-signature-building-worthy-consideration "The center, with its companion buildings, plaza and redesigned park space, is among the best urban spaces in the city, maybe second only to Millennium Park."

Sounds delicious and healthy. Going into the bookmarks.

Matt Yglesias putt it well - his only qualification is a demonstrated willingness to engage in abuses of power.

Both of these incidents are terrifying to me. I feel like there’s less news attention to ICE’s activities, but the activities themselves continue.

I knew fog was creepy. Did not know it was infected.

Erin Brockovich gets involved: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/erin-brockovich-says-people-angry-165957745.html For now she's not taking side (at least not overtly). She's just advocating for more transparency and crowd-sourcing information about plans for data centers.

Good use of ill-gotten gains. I've read that the wine industry in Georgia is booming. Never had one but I'm sure we will.

Well, "science" is a interesting topic but like any sub-branch of any epistemological system, science is not an exact science (pun intended). Questions like these aren't "solved" and then set in stone or displayed in a glass case. "Measurements suggested the giant planet's rotation rate was changing over time, as if Saturn were somehow speeding up or slowing down. That puzzling result left scientists searching for answers." I'd venture to say it appeared to be "changing" in fact because it was and is always changing. This isn't so much a mystery as it is the nature of the universe. I just posted about this topic in my Chronos and Kairos thread. https://wtf.coffee-room.com/topic/3681/kairos-the-ancient-greek-art-of-knowing-when-to-act#:~:text=Kairos%3A The-,ancient,-Greek art of We human beings have to be vigilant continuously about what Karl Marx (the writer whose work is canonical among intellectuals, not the "communist" we all love to hate) called reification. Reification involves setting up a continual feedback loop where we "play back" what we think we know in a way that the only outcome is our belief, whatever it was when we started believing it, can only end up being fallaciously reinforced. The planets, the galaxy, the universe-- are never static and if a human being truly wanted to map their machinations, he or she would die trying...
