My wife read this to me last night.

Wife: So apparently Biden pardoned his son

Me: Cool. Can’t blame him.

Wife: Of course people are say…

Me: Fuck ‘em.

Wife: You know because he promised…

Me: Fuck ‘em.

Kinda stupid if they’ve been waiting for the US to come around. We’re basically everybody’s senile old grandpa. Never know what we’re going to say/do every 4 or so years.

Often when tenants lose keys to a deadbolt, a shady landlord or superintendent will say the knob lock is “good enough” to avoid paying to have the deadbolt replaced. Consequently, tenants might install their own deadbolts.

You might ask, why not just replace the existing lock!? Well, the super is going to call a locksmith to do that, and the locksmith can charge more for installing a new lock rather than replacing the old one. Plus, an extra lock when everyone’s is home for the evening == extra security.

Great point!

That one and G Gordon Liddy. I especially liked in one of the later Liddy episodes where he said he doesn’t like doing more than 3 or 4 because it gets monotonous, but that Liddy’s life was so bonkers that he just couldn’t decide what to cut!

When I did this as a kid, I think the part that was missing was tying my efforts to tangible benefits. What did the money from selling popcorn, candy bars, or wrapping paper actually buy? This was never made clear to me, so putting forth the effort never had much value.

If this is about the FISA/RISAA bill, an article is probably a better source of info than a tweet!

US Senate to Vote on Bill that Critics Call ‘Stasi-Like’ - Wired

The holy war we deserve.

Journalism is a skilled profession that covers things like properly sourcing articles. Something Carlson could never be accused of. He’s a personality and nothing more.

Putin was interviewed in detail by a US journalist for the first time since he started the full-fledged war against Ukraine almost two years ago

And in the next paragraph, he’s a “television personality.” I mean the second one is more accurate, but sloppy reporting and editing nonetheless.

Add to this I read somewhere that she actually purchased more carbon credits than she would need for her tour to cover for unplanned travel - like to football games. Regardless of how some feel about the carbon credits, it’s more than nothing.

You might say it’s an “epic” story!

They may have started in the mid-late 70s, but London Calling was released Dec, 1979, and Combat Rock was ‘82. I think calling them an ‘80s band is fair.
