Yes, misogynistic, racist, intolerant, anti-democracy, anti- American octogenarian swine.

Rinse and repeat old learned ideas.
One tiny bit of deliberate or errant code could lead to algorithms with harmful and inaccurate syntheses of selective historical events to advocate for genocide, profiling, white supremacy and other evils.

I have had at least 3 cats who consider it their duty to nibble on me if I stop petting them before they are done with my attentions.

When it's time to vote, people need to remember that GOP sycophants enabled everything - he could not do any of it on his own. The GOP Reps and Sens hope they can lay all blame for this dysfunctional era on Trump. Do NOT forget they were complicit collaborators without whom Trump could do nothing.

Canadians are already doing their bit - flights to the US still down 24%, car travel down by 30% -- and this is 8 months since Trump declared his 51st State aspirations for Canada.
Canucks are very forgiving. Until they are not.

Let us not lose sight of the extrajudicial killings of All the alleged narco-terrorists with another violation of international laws and US military codes of conduct.
If there was incontrovertible proof of drug running, I would think the US force in the region would be sufficient to interdict them.

I think Gabby Giffords will do better, be more visible, and advocate to improve people's lives significantly more than the current First Lady.

Has anyone calculated the true cost of using AI in lieu of workers?
Data centers should be paying more for electricity and subsidizing local communities, not increasing electricity costs for consumers.
True costs of AI would include long term environmental impacts and additional electricity costs.

If there is a refund mandated, it'll be a corporate windfall that many will funnel to their shareholders, not the customers who paid the tariffs. Agree that Costco may be an exception with an membership model that allows it to track how much each member spent and to create some allocation model.

Perhaps you could add the hundreds of thousands of children and vulnerable people who lost critical food or medical assistance without warning when Trump cut off USAID.

Worst negotiator ever. He has 2 plays - bully those weaker than himself, and suck up to those he perceives as stronger.
Bullshit and obfuscate for the cameras because people's perceptions are more important than reality. If they flatter him he believes he'll get stuff in negotiations. So naive.

It seems like Trump is trying to elevate Senator Kelly's profile for a run at the Presidency in '28.

One of the few horror type movies I have watched. I, too, hate most. Ripley was bad-ass and an icon for the times.

I had to explain the Ripley scene to my 25 yr old, who has never watched any of the Alien series.
I ruined her for Alien(s) at a young age when SNL did a reprise of an alien emerging in the dining scene when Sigourney was on the show. She never forgot it and she never forgave me.
