Agreed - the firehose of diarrhea let that slip right by.

“WE”?!? Unreal. Not even trying to disguise it and….crickets.

Corrupt is his jam, no wonder.

That’s the stupidest goddamn thing I’ve seen in ages.

….and right about now that’s exactly the chuckle I needed. Thanks!

Narrator: “it was exactly the fuck what they had voted for”.

The more I learn about her the more I really like her.

…and people kept saying he was compromised by Russia.

How silly!

Crash the commercial real estate market, buy up properties.

You know, “Presidential”.

At least CBS bravely folded like a wet tissue.

So….NOT less?

Elian lost his mother coming here and was living with relatives in Miami. His Cuban father (rightfully, in my opinion) wanted him back. His family here reasonably argued that his mother’s last act was to bring him to the US and hence he should remain.

The legal battle and ultimate decision he was to be sent back traumatized an innocent kid, but it’s not the same. The US was in the middle of a family fight where both sides were asserting viable arguments and the kid was a pawn. I don’t see that being a US policy mistake.

Why would you do this? Who hurt you?

If you think the Eastland Steamer is a story you should check out the Cleveland Steamer.

Thought #2….maybe don’t.

Your point is well made, I’m not sure you caught my sarcasm in noting that they literally (well, supposedly) have precisely the expertise and processes to have seen the fire claim risks here or hurricane risks in the south or tornados in the midwest and mitigated their own exposure accordingly….but you’re right - roll the dice and win and they rake in the cash today and F tomorrow.

Maybe they should have analyzed and prepared for risks that someone could project and price like those actuaries do for….insurers.

Well put - and I expect we’d agree that the worst are outlets like the NYT and WP that trip over themselves trying to appeal to a demographic that hates them by constantly pushing “both sides” or worse pretending it’s normal partisan dynamics and not an utterly corrupt SCOTUS and dysfunctional Congress let alone aspiring authoritarianism on one side. They focus on eyeballs and revenue, journalistic integrity be damned.

I suppose “the media has catastrophically failed in it’s job to inform many voters” wasn’t as catchy.

I thought oil was the problem?

Their point is absolutely valid. Their method is absurd. This doesn’t generate a dialogue, it undermines the point by enabling opponents to rightfully condemn the vandalism and changes no minds.

Attacking art or culture is counterproductive.

I’ve never seen one outside of a hotel before. Is it behind the fire?

A Norm reference made this much less depressing, thank you.

Being used to riding on flat land be aware of sight-lines being obstructed by the hill. “Hug” the fog line (not the centerline) in case oncoming traffic blows the turn an runs wide - this also enables a later apex so optimize your sightline in left handers (for right side traffic, not sure where you live)….also you may not be familiar with turning/elevation changes so take it nice and chill. Enjoy! Having gone from flat FL to mountains in CA it’s how to truly enjoy what your bike can do.
