I have all the liquor ready! Glenn Beck says I need to start reading the news with spiritual eyes, because politics is no longer about R and D and laws and policies, but is about the fact that the left literally wants to feed our children to Moloch as a sacrifice - this is what's behind the creeping...

Phoebe

What do we have to do to get journalists to leave this dimwit alone instead of discussing his tweets in breathless terms? Maybe they think by talking about him people will realize that billionaires are just people who need to pay taxes like the rest of us schmucks, but I doubt it, so it would be bet...

Phoebe

That is so cool!

Phoebe

Eruption currently contained to summit caldera and surroundings, but who knows what happens next? Apparently one likely outcome is that after this summit eruption, things move about below and then a new flow emerges further down. Not sure how long that might take but it is so cool to see it happenin...

Phoebe

Example of the kind of thing that concerns me. Why did they have a power outage, anyway? This is exactly the kind of facility for which we train cybersecurity specialists. It's hard not to wonder if there's a reason for that and what would happen if we faced a truly coordinated attack instead of the...

Phoebe

Going back into random enjoyables:

Phoebe

I miss playing these games and I need to go back to it when I get a break from the constant onslaught of activities. My problem was that I had a very small margin of potential game playing time available in my life, and I found that thinking about words made it harder to think about Chess and I was ...

Phoebe

This may sound paranoid and probably should not be indulged in that sense, but I'm concerned after doing some reading about the whole Russian strategy for winter. Apparently they have no compunctions about letting people freeze to death be it in Ukraine or anywhere else, and now Putin is getting eve...

Phoebe

I thought the story was that he or his wife are accused of personally leaking the outcome of the Hobby Lobby case - the one deciding companies don't have to pay for aspects of insurance their owners disagree with for religious reasons. The accusation is that they gave the information to dinner guest...

Phoebe

Phoebe

Yep. That seems about right. If they would let someone like, say, my dad or my father in law set the whole agenda for their party, they would be a reasonable set of adults doing reasonable things that you might actually want. But that's because these guys are real conservatives who think government ...

Phoebe

I can't find the speech - all I can find is that he appeared there maybe in October but I don't know what he said exactly? Anyway, the recent uptick in obsession about LGBT people and grooming and all this nonsense is deeply concerning. It really does seem like a tit for tat response to accusations ...

Phoebe

My husband informs me that some Native Americans are taking to calling it Thankstaking, lol! Well I'm grateful for the taking, thanks! We do live on a particular small piece of land that was known as a Indian encampment even for many years after nearby spaces were settled for a long time. So I shoul...

Phoebe

It's one of the songs on Rock Band for the Wii back in the day. Humbling even when you already know that you can't sing!

Phoebe

I hope the paxlovid has worked!

Phoebe

Yep, it will be interesting to see what happens because it's pretty clear that Democrats would love a rematch with Trump, and it's not so clear Biden could defeat DeSantis. It's particularly unfortunate that Biden is constantly attacked for being cognitively weak, when I'm sure it's quite the opposi...

Phoebe

Whew, thankful I'm not the only one who thought he was aware of what was going on at the end! It's nice that the director leaves open some possibilities that some of the scenes are fantasy rather than reality, but we are given many little clues that he knows what is going on even before he says so. ...

Phoebe

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat - Samin Nosrat I've been aware of this book pretty much since it came out but never got around to investigating it. I was going through a journey as a cook and had to go to certain other places before I could get here. Suffice to say I have arrived at the moment for this book, ...

Phoebe

I love soccer so this is a good time when we can watch the World Cup matches. A lot of excitement has sprouted up already. I was not pleased that they were going to have the world Cup in Qatar. How could any player who was not heterosexual feel comfortable going there at all? We see that playing out...

Phoebe

As covid numbers rise the people are really full of excitement: a new talking point can be used to fight the authoritarian left Democrats who want to force our kids into masks at gunpoint and send us to reeducation education camps if we refuse vaccination. The mask obsession is so upsetting to them!...

Phoebe

Nancy Pelosi has been an incredible leader, and yet another proof of her dedication to good leadership and to this country is the decision to step down and let the next generation come up to national prominence in the Democratic party. Maybe she has someone in mind that she mentors, but with Steny H...

Phoebe

Just reporting the radio has started playing Cuff it regularly as a new Beyonce single and it's great to hear in that way. Hearing it on the radio in the midst of other poppy songs also makes the contrast starker: Beyonce is doing things a couple light years beyond the others and it's great. I can't...

Phoebe

Are you thinking Hal Holbrook maybe?

Phoebe

That is wild! I love this type of thing though.

Phoebe

It's okay but I don't find it very interesting. I don't think you're being too harsh on him. I like him more than I should or than many others do and I can't understand how he remains such a money-making machine. He also committed the unforgivable sin of insulting our girl Megan. I don't know if tha...

Phoebe

Yes, watch this but if people watch it with a spouse or significant other, be cautious about the types of jokes you make!

Phoebe

I have a lot of terrible, shameful things to report. I've been watching so much of that Bar rescue show and I can't understand how it remains fresh and interesting after this much of it. The man is clearly somewhat deranged and the show has issues, but it is deeply fascinating. It's a classic narrat...

Phoebe

I'd like to know why Huey Lewis is still on my radio at regular intervals. Far more frequently than far better artists from the past from whom I'd like to hear. It bothers me almost enough to impact life happiness, but not quite. Still he needs to be taken off the radio because that's just awful and...

Phoebe

I accept your friendly amendment.

Phoebe

From my vantage point I would certainly report the kids are Angry. I'm not even sure it's specifically about Trump so much as general hostility toward whoever is responsible for hating on the LGBT kids and making them fear for their lives and learn to throw textbooks and chairs at a hypothetical man...

Phoebe

I was expecting to find it a bit tedious, as yet another entry into the body positivity sweepstakes, but it's actually hilarious. The lines about the old man who lives in Ohio and the thunder thighs particularly crack me up. Normal human thighs!

Phoebe

There are guys who replaced Rush Limbaugh called something like buck and dunk ... I don't know. Anyway, they were having a terrific little show where they tried to puzzle out how to fix the R party's current difficulties, and they made the reasonable and wise observation that it's probably not smart...

Phoebe

What kills me about musk is that way back in the days of Tesla, it was Martin Eberhard and the other guys who actually built the cars and the company and made a superior product. Musk was perhaps the one most responsible for the initial difficulties the company had scaling up production, and apparen...

Phoebe

This is what they're fighting about on right wing talk radio here. Inconclusive result. The topic is often "did we err by looking back to 2020?" which is shorthand for Trump because we know he won't stop can't stop saying he won and making everything all about him. But his true believers d...

Phoebe

When they first started reporting on that Drake album I just assumed it was the same one! How many albums does this man put out? Too many. For some reason it has taken me until now to find Drake irritating. I think most people got there about a decade ago? Surely at least a few years ago? My kids we...

Phoebe

So scary, those portable type classrooms are not safe places in a fire! Long anxiety fueled discussion has been omitted for your reading ease.

Phoebe

I like the fact that whatever is happening is happening mostly in silence without big media splashes and discussions. I hope it could be like that through the entirety of the investigation and any resulting prosecutions. At least one reason that Trump won the first time is that the media just would ...

Phoebe

I have been listening to excessive right wing talk radio so I don't want to uncritically adopt their notion that Democrats are all responsible for this - probably many different people are responsible! But I share a bit of their outrage that we don't have ballots back in larger numbers from States l...

Phoebe

I get why you're saying this but it's not intended as a criticism. The story is a lot weirder. It turns out there's a guy named Sam Ticer who died in 2011 after decades of claiming to be the wrestler, Stan Lane (the one who was alleged to be Boebert's father but then ruled out by the DNA test). This...

Phoebe

I do realize it sounds that way. One handy test to explain why it's not is to consider a common problem with conspiracy thinking: if your wacky theory were true, what other beliefs would also have to be true? Do we think all of the world's best medical experts are involved in a kind of groupthink co...

Phoebe

Another interesting tidbit I've learned over the years is that many people who have my specific job have the same experience, so I think it might have something to do with what we do and have become used to considering normal and pleasant. I think normal people consider it toxic for real.

Phoebe

I think Kyle is right that we can't really envision what it will be because it will come at us randomly out of left field. But if I had to try I would look at the things my kids make happen with their friends right now, that one of them will figure out how to code and spread to a wider group of peop...

Phoebe

She and her mother claim that her father is a non-famous pro wrestler, except that he was ruled out as her father by a DNA test. One weird wrinkle in favor of her story is that the woman who had conducted that area's paternity tests was later convicted for being bribed to change one, but they never ...

Phoebe

The elections were interesting. Well we don't know yet what will happen in Congress, it certainly wasn't much worse than expected and there were some bright spots.

Phoebe

I haven't had time to listen to much of that Taylor Swift but I do really like the first single they put out on the radio. So I'm looking forward to hearing the rest soon! This song below grows on me... I do not like the way he sings the first part, so I just skip forward to the part where he puts t...

Phoebe

Takeoff, at age 28. Terrible, so young, just released a new album, new song, the most talented one of the Migos. Apparently killed over nothing, so sad.

Phoebe

Yep, no idea about yesterday.

Here's a good Heardle for ya... My kid just played this for me and, much to my horror, sang along to all the words with a gusto. She is not learning these things at home I tell you!

NOTE: the series on Netflix is called UNTOLD. The Australian sailing cup winners show was a segment of Untold, but there are other segments, and this Manti Te'o story is one of them. It has More Than One Episode. My leg fell off during the first one so I am afraid to go into episode two. I thought t...
