  1. I'm about 20 minutes into the Rogan/Talarico interview. Impossible not to like Talarico. Question: I'm also about 20 minutes into the first Rogan interview I've ever listened to, and I have to admit that while he doesn't commit any cardinal errors, I'm pretty much surprised by his interviewing technique. I was expecting something in between a Marc Maron let's be buddies and a Peter Attia I'm smarter than you approach. He's kind of sounds like a UNT radio and television communications intern. What is the superpower that got him to having the biggest podcast that anyone's every heard of?
  2. Dead Man was the only one that year worth a good goddamn.
  3. Sounds like the symptoms of night hoss to me.
  4. Nathan Johnson for Texas Attorney General Attorney General Ken Paxton has abused the office for his own personal and political interests, and – following orders – to light destructive partisan fires. Under his control, the office has been corrupted and abused and debased, while its powers to do good have been wasted. I’m sick of it. And I’m betting that the people of Texas are, too. They do not want more of the same.
  5. Wishbone Ash.
  6. Cuba>Iowa when it comes to fun and beautiful cane sugar. Deal pending.
  7. I'm not going to read all of this for fear of spoilers but jesus, oldman is needlessly disgusting. Not my book, not my story, but would have been less revolting if the fuckheads in this show bathed. It's like they were all in an experiment to see how it would be if you have 14th century grooming habits in the 21st century. That being said, like it so far (1st season)
  8. I thought you whole point is definitely not the second sentence. They should be extra sad when the dotard says anything bad about Russia. They should ignore this shit. Ukraine war briefing: US resumes military supplies to Ukraine, Zelenskyy announces | Ukraine | The Guardian
  9. You should PM the Ukrainians and tell them this is really bad, not good news. You seem to be on top of things.
  10. I'll take it. Imagine how wonderful it would be if Trump only fucked with true enemies of the US and its people - dictators, polluters, Constitution-haters...
  11. I kind of like some of what he said on the Ukraine in recent days although I'm being pretty half full about it.
  12. I'm still having trouble fathoming all of this. God fucks some people over, and makes the rest of us sad, sometimes. A Father with very questionable methods.
  13. Yep. He needs to go now.
  14. A Handful of Dust, Evelyn Waugh (1934) Wow, this was terrific, and with a fantastic double twist of plot. I always really loved Scoop and although I didn't enjoy Brideshead Revisited, the guy can write. My somewhat dated audiobook had a narrator who seemed to be channeling Mike Myers little kid cheeky monkey accent, which made it kind of fun.
  15. Of all the things that it appears we are never going back to, it is to be a country that empathizes with immigrants who determine they can't afford to wait and go through whatever formallzed and hostile immigration protocols we put in place to keep them out. The only reason this country will ever have to accept immigrants is a pure economic need. And one side of the political isle is going to lie about that need to keep brown, non-Christian people out. The idea of this country as a haven is over. For every person who is horrified by ICE and the needless pain they are inflicting, there is at least one other celebrating. Yeah, and I realize I'm finally catching up.
  16. MAGA looks at this as WORSE than warning people who are about to bomb federal buildings that their hideout is about to be raided. Just so we can keep our perspectives.
  17. I had no idea Brisket looked Jewish. Not that there is anything wrong with looking Jewish.
  18. Interesting - I have a much easier time following non-fiction than fiction on audiobooks. I think when I lose the train of which character is which it's a bit more unwieldy to go back and figure it out. I'm doing audio mostly because I have some age-related vision problems. I'm generally curious about the "cognitive" differences in digesting audio vs. visual reading.
  19. America is willing to let a mendacious rapist to be President. Keep America's focus on this issue while you do other horrible shit. Profit.
  20. I eat a bowl of bun whenever I'm up in Richardson so thank you Mister President!
  21. Your avatar photo was taken in West Marin, correct? With someone brought in from outside of West Marin?
