Late to thread-;but he will accept them? How quaint.

i’m hoping for George Santos /Mitch McConnell ticket from the Republicans…

Technology has become much too complicated as well as intrusive. All of this is much more of an energy sink than a convience. It also (electronics in appliances and devices, and cars, unfortunately) has a clear (and severe) tie in with planned obsolescence. I started using Android for the simplicity of it, the easy to understand and use software interface. Motorola has added so much bloatware to my phone since I bought it that it's not the same phone now. It also changes the user interface in numerous and random ways every matter of days (not weeks). Its battery is starting to drain progressively faster for the maker's purpose that a phone with a sealed battery (or every phone) is on a downward glide path to becoming inoperable (when otherwise it would last for many years). This is one time I won't mind it. I hate this phone with a passion.

Kicking Hegseth out...let's make it the first bipartisan initiative! https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/6197052-thom-tillis-pete-hegseth-reckoning/

Thanks. I don't recall a CJQ. I'm not going to be able to devote myself to reading Schopenhauer, unfortunately, but I am going to read Machiavelli. I'm kind of surprised at myself for not already having done it. My favorite philosopher is Socrates (and Plato) and my second favorite is Aristotle. Reading Plato changed my life. It was invaluable to me. There's no way I could read much more Jung, not that I've read a lot of him. It's a matter of needing to prioritize. Who are your favorite philosophers?

He knows how to kiss ass The fact that he would give a state award to someone up their neck in the Epstein files is also a statement in itself. This is not my idea of a statesman. YMMV.

@AdagioM said: Dates are delicious! But be careful, they can have a laxative effect. Go slowly if they’re new to you. I'm a fan, too! But I love all dried fruits....plums (formerly known as prunes), apricots, and figs. Dried fruit compotes are common in the cuisines of many countries. We Lithuanians always have "kompotas" at the Christmas Eve meal. Bunch of dried fruits, some water, honey, cinnamon stick, and lemon. Simmer for a bit so everything softens up and the flavors meld together. So delicious! But definitely can be laxative....

I agree we need lots more nuclear. I’m not a fan of coal though.

Arnold didn’t know he would get caught. In fact he thought he’d get rich and get a promotion in the British army. She and Massie and Tillis and Bacon etc made a decision knowing it would end their career.

She’s forgetting we’re basically insolvent. There won’t be another new deal or great society in our lifetimes. But I agree that we need a big tent strategy

I’m liking it. May the bull market continue as it has after every recent midterm.

There was more going on in Ohio than just Trump. The imperial GOP thought they owned us. They've neglected public school funding which was ruled unconstitutional by SCOO almost 30 years ago, plus a few scandals. Then their unfortunate choice for governor took the whole slate down. Hubris. I voted for as many Democrats as Republicans this year, maybe more. Plus an equal number of Libertarians.
