This sounds perfect, yesssss!!

Phoebe

Love that lead singers voice, silky!
Today is the day of Haegeum. It's so pleasing. The fiddle. Obviously I have feelings about that. There's a lot going on here and all of it is good:

This article (https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/it-totally-backfired-pitfalls-alzheimers-genetic-testing-2023-04-21/) considers the issue of testing for genes for Alzheimer's disease, and takes as case study a particular woman who was tested after her mother died of the dis...

Back with that perennial question, this time needing books for kid that would be interesting to adult readers but more appropriate for the middle school set in terms of spicy content. Context: this reader likes the Tolkien books, but does not like Rick Riordan or those cat books anymore because they...

Phoebe

The same was true in the case of the much bandied about photo of two transgender track athletes in CT a few years ago. A small number of athletes and their parents complained that the competition wasn't fair, but their legal argument was destroyed because the numbers completely contradicted it. Turn...

Phoebe

I have a vivid impression of what my dad's feet looked like when I was younger and he was either a little bit younger or approximately the same age as I am today. I looked down this morning at my foot while putting on my sock and suddenly realized it is the same foot, slightly smaller. I feel shaken...

Phoebe

It's on Netflix or WILL be but it's not on mine? Maybe not released yet. Example of the problem: https://www.themarysue.com/netflixs-cleopatra-documentary-has-a-ton-of-red-flags/ Person explains the obvious reasons why it's completely fine to cast a Black Cleopatra but somehow still objects as if th...

Phoebe

Your theory seems reasonable to me. Today is anniversary of Prince's death and I am verklempt after listening to this - Rosie Gaines! Not trying to take anything away from Sinead O'Connor's effort to cover this song, but this is really something.

Phoebe

It is definitely that time of year! I can't get my kid to do his homework even when sitting on the top of him asking every 5 minutes. The children are restless.

Phoebe

Note to the world: If you alone possess the secret knowledge of who Cleopatra's mother and grandmothers and great grandmothers were, you alone can object to whatever Jada Pinkett is doing with her Black Cleopatra show. Meanwhile everybody else should shut up and make it possible for me to watch this...

Phoebe

I share your feeling on this - It's a little good accountability for the company itself to have to pay, but I feel like they just papered over a bunch of really damaging content because they used it to get more money. So a bunch of people who would have been exposed in their culpability have been ab...

Phoebe

I went far enough down the BTS rabbithole to have incredibly extensive knowledge of all 7, but three sub-units of NCT is too many for me! I'm also so annoyed by the intrusions of irritating humans, in everything from the school drop-off and pick-up line to the most elemental work tasks that should n...

Phoebe

Damn, these people are going to smash up my shit once they figure it out! I'm piping in whatever they use to soothe the violent - maybe a little Vivaldi or ASMR murmurings? Lizzo and SZA, Special?

Phoebe

That is exciting! I would like to see Mamamoo on their tour but alas, it is not to be. One of my friends from work is really into this NCT group - I should ask if they're going to see one of the shows. Somehow I have stumbled upon this man - from Quebec, like Celine Dion! Never heard of him before! ...

Phoebe

Did he win? What is going on in this one? I have been out of touch! Out of town! Out of time!

Phoebe

Watched the previous season of Succession so that the spoilers of the current season that flash by on my phone can be meaningful and destructive for me, as I lack HBO or whatever you'd need to watch it now. Have been watching various documentaries about the "wild years" of Group B rally ra...

Phoebe

I like it for K-12. I'm so horrified by the way people have been speaking and acting in response to the recent wave of anti-trans legislation that I feel like we need a moratorium on any rules affecting sex and gender until we figure out what the heck is going on. Why has a quarter of the population...

Phoebe

trying to watch the Expanse. I liked this, with some caveats. Mainly I LOVE Shoreh Aghdashloo. Can't see to spell it. I watched Leap Year for maybe the 19th time. Why? I watched Love is Blind Season 4, first half. I don't have words for how awful "those two" are. Ugbhbbbdjejek. But the sh...

Phoebe

I so want to do this, though I prefer fantasy to normal, partly as I think it will make the AI responses more entertaining.
But I am not able until May. I would watch and see! Maybe later? Love the idea.

Phoebe

I don't really care for fame or being less than anonymous. I prefer to flit along unseen. But. But... I just read a notification from Google maps and realized, this is going to be my legacy of impact on the world. More people will read and respond to and care about and be changed by my Google review...

Diet could make it happen?

Phoebe

OK, scratch everything I said further above - it was all lies: I have found people I probably hate. The people who phone you up and make loud, crass jokes like a donkey, always having something to do with the Little Lady or the Husband or general Sexism, and it turns out they Represent the Police (n...

Phoebe

Although my problem is different due to lack of seething and hating and such, I am having trouble with two things lately: People at work and people in my general region. My standards for respecting people as competent contributors to life are very low. I don't need you to do much. But I do need some...

Phoebe

I don't know, it's all so tawdry and grotesque. It's like his crimes go beyond what anyone is going to hold him to account for piecemeal - I hope he is held to account, but really it's history that will judge him our worst president ever, maybe fighting it out with Andrew Johnson in the afterlife fo...

Phoebe

Is that you with all the hair btw? I can't tell, that's how sad it is. Can't find my glasses. Giving up generally.

I always thought it was because the two of them were getting down in a synchronized dance. The purple ones are OK but a little repetitive and floppy. I feel L & L are really going to the beat.

Phoebe

Here's another gem: Kirk Cameron was invited to read at a library storybook hour from his Evangelical book. The library discovered overwhelming interest in the event and proposed that it be moved to a nearby large church to accommodate the crowd. Outrage ensued including bomb threats for which a man...

Phoebe

Trump and DeSantis getting spicy with one another now. There's a bizarre video comparing DeSantis saying his name, DeeSantis, up until a certain point when he must have been advised that everybody else said it a different way, DaSantis, and he should adopt that way for political benefit. Wild. RuPau...

Phoebe

Totally agree with you about this. Inconsistency in the response is a problem. I don't know what they've actually agreed to do, and it's right to make depositors closer to whole before investors, but they have to be consistent when dealing with different institutions.

Phoebe

Sensible.

Phoebe

Nor did SVB bank fail because it was too generous in its pandemic remote-work policies. Seriously, the articles about this in mainstream media are something you'd forgive from a high school newspaper but they'd still need a talking to about how to reason and examine information. It amazes me. Guaran...

Phoebe

Things are not going over here in a manner that would prove conducive to regular play so you should do one without me. But I like it and would play again.

Phoebe

Dogs in both threads! Makes total sense. That's a really attractive dog.

Phoebe

But did you get to keep the dog?

Phoebe

O time, thou must untangle this, not I.
It is too hard a knot for me t'untie.

Phoebe

I don't know how to assign a percentage of blame to the media for giving us the Trump presidency but it's a pretty juicy percentage. The same thing is happening again now because of the failure of reporting across the board, and I'm so sick of it. It's imperative that we get a smarter group of peopl...

Phoebe

Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?

Phoebe

That is cool - I had a similar experience once it occurred to me that YouTube probably showed a solution. So at one point I had to watch how it was actually done and see if I could reproduce it. It was satisfying to finally understand what had seemed like an impossibility.

Phoebe

I would do it only if you cannot get a new third player - anyone? It's pretty fun! The thing is I have sick people here and can't easily guarantee steady checking in.

Phoebe

Very cool game, congrats to the victor! It has a lot of interesting twists and strategy choices I did not anticipate! Fun.

Phoebe

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house.

Phoebe

Ya, any of that, any of the breaking up once they are togethertogether, I don't like any of that part. That's when I stopped. It was sad to me - I didn't want to let it go but it was hurting me. Aiee. No TV here so I was trying to watch a video online. Well, I have an issue with the new practice of ...

Phoebe

Oh myeeeeee have you ever watched Doc Martin before?? I absolutely adore that show. My cousin recommended it to me, in one of those situations where your cousin is in a position to really know what you would like. We both love it!! The only part I don't like is after a couple seasons, they get to a ...

Phoebe

Oh, I am so sorry about your friend! And when someone is so accustomed to going cycling and is in good shape, it's probably the last thing on their mind that this is going to happen. How sad for the family going through this.

Phoebe

Pass!

Phoebe

I play card 2.

Phoebe

But I am a great eater of beef, and I believe that does harm to my wit.

Phoebe

Update: yes! It appears one of the new arguments of the "gender critical" movement is that a whole class of diagnosed conditions should prohibit anyone under 18 from taking puberty blockers or hormones with the intent to gender transition. Autism and depression are two of the many. It's on...

One face, one voice, one habit, and two persons,
A natural perspective that is and is not!
