20" of snow predicted for New York. Yoiks!

Is this related to a WH diaper disposal failure?

Forget Graham: This is a well-written summary of how Trump's actions re: Greenland have done absolutely nothing for the USA. Multiple formerly mutually beneficial partnerships are irreparably damaged and the US is no closer to "owning" Greenland. No pros, all cons.

@nytimes.com The NYT probably syndicates some of its content, but is this copy of Monday's obituary, without credit or byline, legit? www.texarkanagazette.com/news/2026/fe...

Is there a list anywhere of things the Orange Turd actually *likes* -- other than himself and things/people that/who flatter him? Has there ever been anyone anywhere who hates *so* many things? --signed, your humbled curmudgeon

A little Freudian oopsie in today's NYT news quiz ..

The accusations by Republicans that Mr. Smith had weaponized the criminal justice system came as Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department has done exactly that in ways that have not been seen in a generation. (NYT) "in a generation"?????????????????????????

This is how the Molotovs do it. Wowee!

"Trump has been openly campaigning to win a Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he has solved seven wars or conflicts, though his role in some of those is in dispute." (NYT) IN DISPUTE? How about "complete and utter horseshit"?

"A wide range of specialists in domestic and international law have argued that Trump and Hegseth are giving the military illegal orders and causing Special Operations forces to deliberately target civilians in violation of murder laws." (NYT) Isn't murder something that usually gets prosecuted?

The Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution marking Oct. 14, 2025 -- Kirk's birthday -- a "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk." That's 47 supposedly progressive Democrats endorsing a national tribute to a vile reactionary who promoted the values of a fraction of Americans.

Trump declared that he renamed the DoD because we haven't won any wars since WWII. Perhaps because we haven't been involved in anything officially deemed a war?

I watched a different baseball team's broadcast yesterday and was so relieved not to hear the Yankee booth's constant dissection of pitch selection.

How stupid do you have to be to think like this? RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

I'm disinclined to dabble in the black arts of AI, but am wondering: has anyone tried giving AI a novel's description of a character to see how that person might be visualized? As that is something I do mentally when reading fiction, it seems like an alluring concept.
