Members of congress were hiding a few yards away from the break-in where the woman was shot as she attempted to get through the broken door. Many had to shelter in place in offices because they couldn't be evacuated in time. Horrifying how close we were to a far more serious crisis. I expect we will...

ROOKIE HISTORIAN. I have died and gone to heaven. I started watching it while holding some random objects I was in the process of moving from point A to B and C, and I ended up just standing there slack-jawed for like 25 minutes, holding the stuff, until finally my fingers started sending the "...

Phoebe

Was she hiding in her office? I did not know that! Wow. I was under the impression they had evacuated everyone. I am not able to process all that info at the moment. They could have found someone like that, while things were still out of control? And the WH and DoD were refusing to let the National ...

Phoebe

It is true. Very screwy week. It's liberating. Nobody is supposed to have quiet placid pleasant thoughts through such weird and wild events. It makes us vulnerable to other unfortunate and negative thoughts creeping in. But it is ok! Onward we go. I have coffee #2!

Phoebe

I am deep in the cynicism about these people's motives.

It was always already great! Hope it is a happy one!

I really do like that song - I am not a fan of her singing style but when it works, it works well! I can't attend to her lyrics, or his lyrics, whoever writes them - just not my thing, not at all. But at least she seems like a pretty decent human, so good. I have bigger and better fish to fry, and y...

It would be magical if someone wanted to pay more than ten bucks and a free coupon to the casino for my trade in vehicle, so we should consider that. Buying local has some benefits even if other major drawbacks. I will ponder all of this wisdom closely. I don't much care which car I get - I am a dri...

Phoebe

The way this event is playing internationally is probably going to change some things. We are accustomed to sitting here like, WTF? Of course they're not going to accomplish a damn thing with this play-acting. But people looking on from abroad have radically different reactions and assume - whether ...

Phoebe

Well it's been fun but I got to go back to work now that I have a computer again. Buckling in for the long haul with this baby on repeat:

Phoebe

My strategy is not to have a strategy.

Phoebe

Well this is the question: Is the essence of the Kyle way to pick out something because it was best and then not allow anyone to divert you from it through salesmanship? or is it to save time and some money by going to a place that only gives you one choice and then can't upsell you because there is...

Phoebe

Oh Lord yes Mahalia Jackson. It may not win because it's such an apples to oranges thing but I just love it, and there's no denying what a huge success it was at the time. So influential. Anyway it's a good list.

Phoebe

It seems like an appropriate song for this dark day when that monster drove people to murder because of his lies, and he would do so much more if he could.

Phoebe

Oh wait you said King not Sting.

I am locked in such a war with my phone's autocorrect. I am positive that it has developed its own proto-intelligence approximately the level of a 6-year-old human or not particularly smart herding dog.

Do Costco tires count? They only have one kind of tires I could use so I hope that it counts!

Phoebe

I will never use words again.

Phoebe

Are we able to use any of our emojis?

Phoebe

I will go ahead and be the s***** person who says this thing: I think your motivation and plan is awesome because you're trying to include things, but people who feel like their traditions are already excluded may not look upon this as a gift. I would probably get somebody who has specific expertise...

Phoebe

We are receiving it. I can't tell you how much it is helpful to read that other people have similar struggles of their own in this area, and it doesn't impede their ability to do great things in life (Even if they may not always think of themselves as doing such things! I still think it!). It's hard...

Phoebe

My husband loves this show and I have been watching it with him by default. It's actually hilarious. The parts with the teenagers are absolutely unwatchable in my opinion, but all the parts with the main character blonde guy are amazing.

Phoebe

Well, we know he genuinely loves those people! I feel like Stan's joke a few pages ago is not getting enough credit, because I read it the same way he did and was puzzled in the same way. Watching Josh Hawley's face last night, you could literally see the back and forth struggle between the fat part...

Pedro Almodovar Stanley Kubrick Martin Scorsese Kathryn Bigelow (did you know by the way, not only did she direct Point Break, which occasionally came up when she won her Oscar, but she directed K19: The Widowmaker, which is bizarrely a favorite movie of ours and I have seen it about a dozen times?)...

Phoebe

I'm horrified that you said the phrase MAGA pompons because you know that's going to manifest in reality now. Someone is going to make them, in China.

Phoebe

The songs have been a hilarious juxtaposition to the previous comment for a while now.

Phoebe

What do these people who plan to engage in revolutionary fighting back, or whatever they're doing, expect to do in order to retain Trump in office? Is the idea that if they physically prevent anyone else from entering the White House they will somehow keep him as a legitimate president? Are they goi...

Phoebe

You appear to be in a really good part of the charts - not sure what year, but it was a good year. Any year with Jim Croce and Roberta Flack is a good year.

Phoebe

I really like the Billie eilish song. It was a good day for you to give the boot to BTS, if it was ever going to happen at all, because it was truly the worst day of the year so far. Today is a much better day so I would have actually been sad if you had harmed the beloved. Now it's just water under...

Phoebe

Kids and friends are good! I hope it's okay if it's a melancholy barbarian. At a moment of soul searching, one still needs to smash things.

Phoebe

I feel very blessed that we have been practicing for this moment with each year's iteration of Just Dance. Whoever runs that game could have so much blackmail footage at this point.

Phoebe

I dig the idea of being a half orc barbarian. I can't give you a hundred percent promise yet, but three to four hours are very likely doable? What time frame are you thinking during the day or evening? Edited: I found a better way of putting my statement, which is that I would enjoy playing any RPG ...

Phoebe

Today's mood captured in all its nuances by the second-best cultural product to emerge from Iowa, right behind cows made entirely from butter! New year not getting off to a very good start, but at least everyone is well and nobody has covid and so forth. Lots to be thankful for. Practicing gratitude...

Phoebe

Ya, silly lyrics there, I agree - not for prudish reasons but because, is that the best he can do? Anyway, the music is super catchy and The solution is obviously to have BTS write new lyrics in Korean and sing them without the yodel. They sang the song already in carpool karaoke, so we know they ca...

Phoebe

Happy New Year to all!!!

Phoebe

Between these and the drones we are doomed.

Phoebe

Random grab-bag of responses: I have not heard the song that was going against WAP, and can't judge so well after the first hearing, but ok. I like the version of Megan thee Stallion's Savage with Beyonce better than either of those - that was my radio target for quite some time. The bracket is roug...

Phoebe

The point about 2018 is good. If it was all messed up, why do they get some things much closer to right? I also wonder how much of this (not 538 specifically, but the overall narrative that develops) happens because people are writing speculative stories about Democrats retaking the Senate, which al...

Phoebe

Anyone here ever read anything by William Gass? Should I buy one of his books and if so, which one? I am intrigued by tales of his misanthropy and am faintly hoping for some vicarious experience, either reinforcement or purgative.

Phoebe

Dude your KID does this???!! Okay, I need to see it! Is it, like, safe-for-work, in the sense that work happens with an audience of my kids now? You are making this whole letting-people-pay-you to play games sound like WORK, and worse yet, like work that requires technical abilities and equipment. W...

After the gruesome surprise of 2016, I wasn't willing even to read any of that information or put any stock in it, so while I was happy to see Biden with a huge lead, it did not come as a surprise that it wasn't a landslide or the blue wave or whatever. It puzzles me that this industry, driven as it...

Phoebe

Okay, I think I understand now: in addition to the "being entertained if the person doing the talking is entertaining", there is also an aspect of learning or watching a skilled player, and furthermore, access to things you wouldn't be able to easily see or experience if you didn't watch s...

Phoebe

I used to love Donny Osmond so much. Parents should have done something about that early.

Phoebe

I will remain neutral on this one except to agree with you that the emergency alert is unhelpful - similar thoughts about other pop songs that employ weird noises like sirens, beeps, and other things that make you turn down the volume to check for problems with ambulances or your vehicle. I have ref...

Phoebe

Ugh, I am glad you made the right call above, the only OBJECTIVE, FACTUALLY ACCURATE CALL that could be made under such horrifying circumstances. That Watermelon song is just... bad, but the video is an actual nightmare scene. I feel about that the way that the people in this house feel about the fa...

Phoebe

Oh I just saw this on the other thread. Yup, would agree with Don't Be Cruel. The other two are fine; Hound Dog like I say was done earlier and done better by Big Mama Thornton, so while Elvis popularized, he also diminished it. Boo.

Phoebe

Oooh, I would say Don't be Cruel, because I think it was a bigger smash hit than Love Me Tender, and Hound Dog is really Big Mama Thornton's even if Elvis made it better known. He changed the lyrics for the worse imo. I remember really liking Hound Dog and Heartbreak Hotel when I was a small child, ...
