Just looks like a pen to me.

The number of lives lost is now 9.

What did Ernst do now? Lots of chatter on the 'net about her, but I haven't found anything about msnbc this morning.

GreatGrey, I'm so sorry. I'm old now, but I remember all my critters. And I still love them and miss them. My child is an only child, so I surrounded him with critters. He picked his first cat when he was 2. Not the same as having a sibling, but he loved kitty. And we added more critters on his birt...

Not very amusing (imho), but here's SNL's cold open.

Not panicking yet. We don’t yet know how dangerous the new coronavirus is – and we won’t know until more data comes in. Twenty-six deaths out of 800 reported cases would mean a 3% mortality rate. However, this is likely to be a overestimate since there may be a far larger pool of people who have bee...

It's so hard when our sweet furbabies leave us.

Schiff's too smart to run for President. Unfortunately.

Too bad, because I'd support him.

I relied on Bed Bath & Beyond for lots of stuff on my very limited retail island. Then it started to charge me for postage. Fortunately, I have some other options, but the Trump administration plans to make shipping to Hawaii prohibitive.

Agree.

On a less entertaining note: I have been edgy because the entire impeachment focuses on the phone call to the Ukrainian president in July 2019. Nothing about abandoning the Kurds, about violating the War Powers Act, about violating the Geneva Conventions, about failing to rehab Puerto Rico, about t...

Well, Mercola claims msg causes a gazillion horrible medical problems. Ignoring him, always a good idea, I haven't found any research that supports the idea that msg is unhealthy. The only potential negative regards people with high salt intake and dysfunctional kidneys. If trying to avoid msg, an a...

I can't figure out who to pick. I see Klobuchar's good points, but she helped Trump pack the courts. Not sure if that is forgivable. Correction - that is not forgivable. Warren will need a strong VP pick. I had a passing thought that Biden could be a one term VP to help smooth the way for Warren. Du...

The NYT Editorial Board statement surprised me. NYT has frequently disappointed (to put it mildly), but that statement seems ... reasonable. I have a couple of quibbles, but all in all, it's thoughtful and reasonable.

Remember Chinese restaurant syndrome? I still see some foods labelled "No MSG." MSG in Chinese food isn't unhealthy -- you're just racist, activists say https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/18/asia/chinese-restaurant-syndrome-msg-intl-hnk-scli/index.html It turns out that one paper claimed that msg caused "C...

In an unrelated thread, for a short time the big question was Potatoes - Healthy or Deadly? I followed a link that brought me to "healthy" potato-leek chowder. It's low fat and sodium. Looked yummy, tho, and I was hungry. https://www.health.com/health/recipe/0,,10000001097038,00.html So I made it an...

Stirring the pot for $500, Alex.

The killer shot his landlady (apparently alive in critical condition) and set fire to the neighborhood. 12 homes were damaged, at least 5 of them are a total loss. The killer's body is believed to be in one of the destroyed homes. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/01/19/breaking-news/2-honolulu-po...

I mostly watch CNN and MSNBC to an unhealthy degree. So when I tear myself away, I watch Masterpiece on PBS and totally junk tv, like Project Runway which has returned to Bravo. And various train wrecks on TLC when I vacuum or wash dishes. No matter how low I feel I feel, I cheer up because I'm bett...

It isn't hard to find shit on Manafort. I posted a bunch of it here in 2016.

Found this on LGF. I love ASL. It's kinetic. It's emotional. It's full body communication. (I also suck at it. It's top of my list of "things to learn when I retire.")

And here's the latest Lev drop!

Aussie Firefighters Save World's Only Groves Of Prehistoric Wollemi Pines It was a lifesaving mission as dramatic as any in the months-long battle against the wildfires that have torn through the Australian bush. But instead of a race to save humans or animals, a specialized team of Australian fire...

I'm grateful for this discussion. TBH I haven't recovered from the nastiness I experienced when Sanders was done, and I said we had to pivot to Hillary to prevent Trump from being elected. Basically, I was told that we had to suffer Trump b/c it's Killary's fault and she'd be worse. And I was a Hill...
