Expat from Post. Still loving The Big Apple, pizza, philology, honest discourse, retirement. Not likely to follow reposts-only. Nix to dogma, attention thirst, lack of civility. Serious or silly - it's all good. Teach me something. #expostie #expostnews
He probably got the idea from the cost of a NYC taxi medallion. After all, he's been hanging out with only the best people. The best at extortion and corruption, that is.

Oh no, they're going after the Italians! Does he realize "Roman" is also Italian?

Still trying to work out how Calibri is wasteful. What's the diff? I typed legal docs for approx. 1,006 years. Mansplain it to me, Marco.

Ma-rone!!!!!

Does anyone eat coddled eggs any more? Eggs gently simmered in water, only in a small dish rather than directly in the water like poached eggs.

And if you run the audio backwards it says "I buried Paul."

Who over the age of 15 or so would be surprised by this "revelation?"

This public appearance is just one more instance of "Women, stay away from me!" behavior.

I don't spend much time reading the posts of those who merely repost other people's thoughts, with no comments of their own. What's the point? At least say something in agreement - or opposition.

My bio clearly says I'm not likely to follow back chronic reposters, but they follow me anyway.

Perhaps they should be encouraged to do just that.

I wish there were more of this.

When I was an ESL "conversation partner" I would point out roots & stems & such to my students. They always found it helpful.

Yes, I can see that. Diehard Repugs who would never cross party lines.

Extremely common to find this word in crossword puzzles. I've known it for years. But I've never been able to work it into a conversation. 🤔

They profess to believe it until they need some for themselves.

I look at the Midterms with trepidation.

I don't have a lot of confidence that our current Democratic Congressional leadership is prepared, or capable, to fight for election fairness.

We'll have to look to our state Governors, and citizens, to keep things as honest and accurate as possible.

Why is this guy speaking for the U.S? Who appointed him the Voice of Anything?
December 7, 2025 at 2:53 PM
Can there be a fair Midterm? It's certainly not a given any more.
December 7, 2025 at 2:50 PM
About time. I would have expected better, sooner, from Minnesota Nice.

OK, sounds good. Maybe the next one, if I remember. Thanks.
