Or until they beat the confession into the suspect, whichever happens first.

All else being equal, the guy who destroys all the evidence is less trustworthy.

Was it a supporter?

Upgraded from secretly dying to visibly dying.

“And don’t tell me I don’t love my country. I love it enough to hold it to account.” — This kid knows the difference between love and infatuation, between patriotism and nationalism.

And I’ve hit the age when I am angry to see an old still from The Price is Right features pre-ozempic Drew Carey and not Bob Barker.

The dumbest fakes fool the dumbest people.

It’s not just homes. I was working at a place when it moved to a newly built office. Plagued with dumb mistakes. Most striking was when we got into summer. First really humid day, AC stopped, wouldn’t turn back on, and then we realized water was seeping from the ceiling in the bathroom. Room was drenched. Turns out, the original building plan was for AC to use a water drain, but the building or fire inspector said it needed to be pumped. The builder did order a pump installed, but because it wasn’t in the plans, no electrical was built for it, so it was never plugged in. Just blatantly sloppy.

Between that and the condition of friends’ new homes we’d seen, we bought an older home, which has its own problems from age and previous owner workarounds, but we know any hidden and/or structural builder errors are long revealed.

The only difference between a Wal-Mart steak and a Trump Steak™ is the 200% markup.

Is putting small companies out of business better for the country? No. Is putting this guy out of business better for the country? Maybe. 🤷🏻

The Grey’s Law variant, “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice,” is how I interpret our current reality.

Analog audio is analogous.

“…viewed by many evangelicals as a “heretic” who exploits faith for profit.” — They are so close to figuring this out, yet so far.

Yeah, it’s weird to call this a “warning” after he already sent a mob after Pence, and then pardoned the entire mob. Seems like we’re well past warnings at this point.

“Earlier this week, DeepSeek unveiled its R1 model, which, the startup claims, meets, if not exceeds, performance from OpenAI’s o1 model released last year. (o1 is designed to tackle reasoning and math problems.)” — Oh, so China built their for math and we built ours for garbage. Interesting approach.

The plural of elemelon should be elemenōpē.

Will the space be oval?

Our fault.

It wouldn’t have stopped him from winning the election. Trump escaped accountability when the Senate failed to convict him in his second impeachment. That, and the first impeachment, were the only convictions that would have barred him from running. Two impeachments, one coup attempt, one felony conviction, and we still elected him. Pretty sure that’s on us.

Should we be listening to suggestions from mutant frogs? Seems like a trap.
