Anyone remember Stewart Brand's observation that " We ARE as gods, and we might as well get good at it"?

I am just waiting for him and others of his ilk to start trying the insanity defense.

"... if you can keep it."

Another Ukraininan city in Luhansk falls. The Soviets are relying on their penchant for Verdun-like artillery progress. It is problematic how long they can keep it up. I read somewhere that the long...

They reconciled toward the end of their lives.

Reading the Adams-Jefferson correspondence is enlightening, and is available in book form.

Jesus, I hope so.

Lawrence's " don't give up the ship" ( Chesapeake vs Shannon ) was followed by " scuttle her".

Our ship has serious damn leaks, and half the crew is eagerly boring holes in the hull. It is...

A) Too much for my wallet.

B) My usual practice is to buy a car only when it it three yers old to wring most of the depreciation out. Three year old cars are generally coming off a lease...

Great pics. Kat had to work and stayed in AZ?

LOL. Meanwhile, solar shines all over his farm, with infinitely more energy potential than some farting cows.

Borowitz had a funny take on it, saying that god issued a ruling that said he doesn't pay attention to prayers from sporting events.

See my signature.

She and Kinzinger have made a principled stand on this one issue, but that's it. On everything else, she is, after all, Darth Vader's daughter.

^ Yes, remarkable story.

That is a hella image. Wow.

Surface crazing has turned into cracks so far, but the acid provided by conservatives will turn them into fissures and then splits unless something is done, i.e. the citizenry wakes the hell up.

I...

Fund progressive political candidates.

Move to Portugal, stat.

O please. No way to prove they 'lied'.

This is just wishful thinking.

What are they, pushing 80? Jeesh.

I recall a Rolling Stone interview done lo these many years ago in their salad days when Jagger said he didn't want to be singing Satisfaction when he was 40. HAH!

My investment guy says I am still beating the market by 3-4%. Cold comfort, considering how much I am down, but I guess ( hope? ) I will live long enough to see it crawl back up. If the market could...

Some supposed controversy now if it is really sunk or not. Whatever.

It makes me boil when people laud George Bush the First. That guy was a complete tool of Big Oil, gave us Dan Quayle and Clarence Thomas, AND his miserable son. Puh-lease.

SCOTUS has blood on their hands and soon will be drowning in it. History will not be kind to the conservatives on the court.

I'm sorry, I have zero empathy. If the Afghan people were so unafraid of the Taliban that their army collapsed in a couple of months, then let them live with the consequences. Let's see excatly how...
