Joan was quizzical, Studied pataphysical science in the home... Today I learned that 'Pataphysics' is a sardonic "philosophy of science" invented to be a parody of science. Difficult to be simply defined, it has been described as the "science of imaginary solutions". --Wikipedia

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

I, for one, would like to thank the Trump administration for how their focus on Ilhan Omar has enabled so many people to become aware of her intelligence, focus, and determination.

I've had that line "programmed by fellows with compassion and vision" echoing in my mind about AI, so when Keith Olbermann referenced it, it felt like a spark in the neural network of our shared cultures and wisdom that, more than a living human or generation, will carry us past the AI dangers.

Gladys Kravitz sees stuff but is powerless. The Great Gazoo is invisible to most people and has amazing powers. Describe how each represents a part of the American psyche, especially that of the late 60's and early 70's, and how it echoes in present day cultural dynamics. (From my PhD thesis.)

I hope when Olbermann returns he will address the fact that Nancy Grace got a space telescope named after her before Rita Cosby.

Remember when Elon Musk asked for a number to end world hunger, got one that he could easily afford, and then did the opposite through DOGE?

Just when you think you've seen everything, you discover that a guy you recently befriended through mutual interest in guitars was once a stand-up comic in the Catskills. "In the best tradition of the Borscht Belt comedian. You'll laugh." Who knew?

Both its air of superior knowledge and tendency to be wrong half the time makes AI the ultimate mansplainer.

AI is so awesome. It can come with answers you won't get anywhere else.

They're liars. "Hypocrites" implies two sides, but there aren't two opposing sides. There's the truth of birthright citizenship being the law, and the lie that immigrants are what's wrong with America.

Pathetic. A guy who can’t do comedy performing for an audience that can’t do journalism.
