I don't get it… why are you calling it the Astoria?

It's easy to be so distracted by all the things the President is doing, to miss one thing he's not doing:
Rallies.
After he first won election in 2016, he kept having rallies b/c he liked them so much. He did them all through his first term, even during COVID. (RIP Herman Cain.)

Why not?

When I was young, I went regularly to the local Crippled Children's Clinic. It wasn't a full hospital, but it was a nationwide (possibly international) medical center dedicated specifically to children.

(& yes, at the time, that was their official name)

Tastes differ, but I think it's only AAA games that aren't good enough for me. There are plenty of indies which are either worth what I paid fof them, or worth way more.

But disreputable contractors cut corners. Things will be at wrong angles because the foundation is sinking. There will be a particularly heavy snowfall one year & the whole thing will collapse.

No way would I go in that thing.

The foundation will sink before they put anything on it. So naturally they're going to say "Isn't it cool? We designed it like that tower in Piza"

They're also not going to figure out what winds, snow & rain the roof needs to support, & with no internal supports, the design needs to be precise

Donnie isn't using reputable contractors so far. I also guess they think environmental studies are "woke bs" so they won't do them. The sort of contractor that builds something without studies, & without approval of necessary agencies is gonna cut corners.

If it does get built it's a deathtrap.

The thing's taller than the White House, which makes it at least 5 stories. No interior supports & a flat roof. Reputable contractors would require a soil study to know what sort of foundation would be necessary to support such a building.

I suspect it's partly this.

Whether Donnie or anyone else has a good sense of his actual health, they're behaving like they think he won't make it to Halloween & they're focusing on cementing their legacy, or breaking things in a way that is even more short sighted than Musk was.

I keep going through the structural issues with a building like he describes but then I have to remind myself it doesn't matter because it will never be built

I have been telling people for so long the next steps for AI are

1 Promise AI can do it (in this case, compose a take that lasts more than a few seconds)
2 Show AI not yet doing it
3 Sell contract to do it
4 Lay off employees
5 AI can never do it
6 Employee skills atrophy & can't be rehired
7 Shit

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Every discussion I've seen so far is like

American Chopper meme

Panel 1: Democrats are responsible for platner
Panel 2: No, It's leftists who support him
Panel 3: No, liberals fucked this race by choosing platner
Panel 4: my leftist friends always hated Platner
Panel 5: Sure would be weird for platner to be the first thing leftists agree on

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

One of the PSA people said words to the effect of "It sucks how the Democratic establishment controls the nomination & primary process!"

Hard agree.

Also a candidate with a *NAZI* *TATTOO* has no bearing on that discussion
