He's been dead for 16 years! His first solo hit was 1979, 45 years ago. Kids born in this century definitely refer to MJ as oldies music.
And I'm not saying all that to dismiss your reaction. Far from it. I can't believe MJ music is older now than Chuck Berry's when I was growing up. Ugh.

I don't understand this desire to absolve Trump of being massively nativist, racist, inappropriate, narcissistic, and just terrible. He doesn't need Steven Miller's help to write awful, awful stuff.

Your work is very good, Henri, but your paintings' backgrounds need some work. It's very difficult to make out what is happening there behind the chocolate pot.
Check out the work of Bob Ross, who really knows how to paint backgrounds.

Decades ago when Snapple was a local company in NY, they had a cherry lime ricky soda that was great. They also had a clear cola that was… not great.

If that company was Jones which did make a thanksgiving flavored set, they’re not organic and those soda flavors used aspartame. I got a gift set of them and wouldn’t even try them, not because of the gross flavors, but because of the damned artificial sweetener.

What does that have to do with repealing §230?

What DOJ are you thinking of that isn’t threatening newspapers, television stations, and publishers for stories that it (being Trump) doesn’t like?
Newspapers aren’t websites, by the way.

I’m in super suburbia. We have off street parking and neighbors who peek out their windows and write down the license plates on anyone parked in the street.
Anyway, 20-year old cars pass inspection and emissions checks, but can’t be upgraded to tell on their drivers.

Thank you and Monty! Not only is he a viewing pleasure, but he is today's cat stopping me from doomscrolling.

I think you're exactly right. Taxes will go up, but will the average tax payer spend more money than the system we have for private insurance? Nothing prevents private insurance companies from raising prices at whim. We already spend more on healthcare than any nation with a nationalized system.

You're probably on a block list that he subscribes to. It's really annoying that anyone can make a block list and include any account for any reason in that list. You don't know you're on the list so you have no way to appeal!

You know, I think it's because America is so big. Being a partial nutter who lives in a city will get you ignored at best. But the partial nutter in Montana or Idaho ends up listening to their own paranoia.
