@bernard There be dragons! Lol!

It's the same today! You can read the "body language" of the royal family at any public event and "see" the narrative that's in play. People scoffed when I said the Queen's demeanor and facial glances toward Meghan during Harry's wedding told a story. Well, they most certainly did so. The Queen knew who Meghan was, what her agenda was, about her lies, about her sordid history, all of it before the big day. And actually you can look at footage of all the other members' interactions (I don't recall but Anne was probably stoic) and they were clearly incredulous and amused. None of it was subtle. We now return to our regularly scheduled program.

Going out on a limb... I wonder if the first one is Leeds? I say that because the very first picture reminds me of pics I've seen from a vlogger in England that I follow... but then again, a lot of modern buildings look alike.

@dolmansaxlil Those are the ones I buy myself now. The graphics are usually great.

That's really nice.

County Clerk is a serious job. One she had no business holding. THE County Clerk is the impartial keeper of records. Of course her personal life is messed up. How could it be any other way?

Sade My friends and I loved her music. Link to video Many Saturday nights began with listening to her and drinking gin and tonics. Good times.

Friendly? Just watch!

Oh no. Please don't remind me about needing to repeat insipid sentences all day to "verify my identity". The best however is "prove it's really you" 30 seconds after using a fingerprint as biometric identification.

Embarrassment at every turn with these people. Do you remember Hegseth lecturing a room filled with of career generals flown in from all over the globe, telling them they’re too old and fat? It reminds me of that Woody Allen movie where some clueless standup comedian makes off-color jokes in front of an audience of nuns and religious leaders.

@AndyD said: You guys never watched Baywatch? As seen on Friends, Joey & Chandler watching the girls running along the beach. The Hof was head lifeguard. Yes. I watched it. Yes, I did know that. I was trying to forget it. Painful. Friends was no better. A show about a group of young narcissists, living a life they clearly not only could not afford, but didn't- that aspect of the narrative was like a fictional black hole. The Hawaiian guy Jason what's his name was much better in the role. And that version was just as dumb.

Good idea. There used to be an important concept in the universe of forums- shilling. IRL,the line between shilling and not seems to have almost been erased. I don't trust social media reviews of contractors. I know that system can be gained because I got an estimate from a l. contractor from a company with a 5 star rating (that showed up on Google with the business website (Trust Pilot (?) is what Google was using) and after I got the written estimate, I knew dead to rights the man was a con artist. I doubt his manager didn't know it. Make that make sense.
