@CHAS said in No, Nancy, it is not time to be nice: Pelosi said only if Trump does something flagrant." WTF? Good thing she's retiring. Apparently, having masked ICE agents drag American citizens off the street with no explanation and no indication of where the persons will be sent isn't "flagrant"!? Blowing up sovereign nations' ships isn't "flagrant"!? Pirating another nations' oil isn't "flagrant"!? Murdering suspects isn't "flagrant"!? Ignoring court orders isn't "flagrant"!? Bribing isn't "flagrant"!? What sort of culture do these politicians live in that leads them to say we need to wait for something "flagrant". Lame, lame, lame. Out of touch with reality.

I know I’m a bit behind the times as this book has been everywhere since its release, but I just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures and it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.

Princess Bride… or maybe Stand By Me. But it’s amazing how many classics he was involved with.

President Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism of Rob Reiner, asserting today the slain Hollywood director was “a deranged person.” “I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” Trump said from the Oval Office, less than a day after Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in what is being investigated as a homicide. “He became like a deranged person – ‘Trump derangement syndrome.’ So, I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country,” he said.

It was Gene Hackman who died, after his wife Betsy Arakawa died of hanta virus. So sad.

I cooked a couple of squashes yesterday, one delicata and the other a kabocha. Both were splittable with a big chef's knife without pre-cooking. In my experience, butternut squash is in a whole 'nother category...

Got me thinking what that process would look like in 3D if it were in a weightless environment. Unfortunately I couldn't find a video for this with a quick Google search.

Agreed! Mr wtg and I have watched some of her shows on PBS and enjoyed them immensely.

New this year will be making Demi-glacé. We ff to buy some bones…

One state governor said he regretted signing a bill permitting sports gambling online. Sports gambling was illegal???

I wonder if the argument that serifs make text easier to read is related to the notion that cursive handwriting is better for the flow of ideas. After all, they both involve extra strokes that guide you from one letter to the next.

Thanks, wtg! And Loki thanks you, too.

@Bernard such fun shows! A dance party, for sure.
