The current president of the U.S. is on record stating he hated the white house, found it trashy and low class. Remember that when you see these videos of damage to one wing of the white house. He likely wants to do that to the whole building and replace it with a giant tower with his name on it.

PBS is one of the few news outlets I watch when I want pure reporting without commentary. That's what I got here, with PBS simply showing the protests and what protestors were saying almost entirely without comment.

Yakkety Sax is a perfect compliment to this. Excellent choice.

And, if the other side doesn't LIKE when we engage in the way they're engaging, time to come to the table so we both can agree to cut it out.

If you're playing a soccer game and the other team start pulling out guns and firing at you, you stop playing the game. The game no longer matters until the gunfight stops. Then, after that, we can discuss playing a game with rules again.

Let's make things easier on police officers. Send social workers to do wellness checks, so police have fewer duties pulling them in every direction. Assign police beats based on where they live, so police have the advantage of knowing the neighborhood and it's people already.

"Learning how to use it effectively" is bizarre, because there's really not much skill in telling someone, or in this case something else to do something for you.

This is right up there with those people who think "invisible ink" will make THEM invisible, but somehow only to cameras.

Just so everyone knows, cameras work on the same principles of light as our eyes. If a standard camera sees it, so did they. They are lying.

I never knew about this interview. It's interesting to see what the limits are with different developers.

For the record, I don't begrudge someone having their lusty ideas and sticking it in a game, I just don't appreciate it in the games I play personally.

Some day I need to get me a lathe. There's so many little tech holding things I could make myself with some spare wood and one of those.

We have a president who lies about how amazing he is in every respect, but he's self conscious about a magazine photo. Hey Mr. President, why not just lie about that and say you look great and that it's a very flattering, no the MOST flattering picture a president has ever had? Is this a sore spot?

It looks like it was rendered on a SuperFX chip.

On the one hand, if I was a billionaire I'd probably have commissioned such a ridiculous car for myself. On the other hand, I would never assume my terrible nostalgic taste should be inflicted on others. I know it's ugly.

What do you mean "even"? He's a guy pretending to be lovably awkward. Everything about this guy is fake. Why would he write his own books when he can order a robot to do it instead?

No one is forcing you to be a crusader. When you're so mad you can bite, you can stop. You can stop any time you want. You can stop stop stop doing the thing that is wrong.

It may have been a mistake to put all of video content on a single platform owned by one corporation.

The only problem is you have people like Trump telling us he's a perfect good healthy genius and the chosen one, and I don't believe him.

As an aside, this is connected to trying to wedge apart the LGBTQIA alliance by claiming one "less oppressed" subgroup within it are "stealing resources" from other "more oppressed" subgroups, when the exact opposite is true. Every additional part of our alliance is a resource unto themselves.

Here's the test. Is someone trying to convince you to hate an entire group because of a trait that does no one any harm? If so, don't listen to them.

We need to be more wary of these agent provocateurs trying to divide us with such ridiculous ideas. What, is polio bourgeois because of the FANCY iron lung?

Without any context at all, I'm rooting for the rooster, not the guy chasing the rooster. I wonder if there are people who default to cheering on the human?

Cool, though ultimately it is up to parents and schools to safeguard access to these things, and ideally simply be present with kids to talk to them about the content they may encounter so they can process it maturely.

Then again, far too many just put their kids in front of a box as a babysitter.
