I love travel, food, good story-telling, and empathy. I also have a huge man-crush on the rule of law. I run a company that does business phone, video conferencing, and contact centers especially for local governments. www.vertical.com

I think what you actually might want is 6 people all competing in the same industry against each other. It's the lack of competition that leads to bloating drugged billionaire who can just ignore any business common sense.

Psst, I would not suggest approaching it this way. Also, ALA 2026 is in Chicago.

No, no, you spend your life collecting a library's worth of books. Then you marry a librarian to organize them, like I did.

Just don't tell Trump that the MRI is full of magnets.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 1d

He does hate magnets. And, it seems like, electricity.

I kinda expect the Jays to STILL walk Ohtani first bat of Game 4.

I would also love to see how they would retrofit steam catapults into a ship designed from the beginning for EMALS. Should be fun.

No Such Thing As A Fish would be my suggestion. Years of five trivia researchers getting together and sharing the oddest things they found each week.
Also, Peopleing the Past is great podcast if you are interested in Archaeology.

Wil, I heavily use YT Music with Sonos and Android (listening to music at dialysis especially).
Works really well and, if you get the right plan, eliminates YouTube ads for the whole family.

And this is wrong how?

I'm sure Ticketmaster has donated to all the Trumpy things, Inauguration, Ballroom, Diaper funs.

Do 14 and you can qualify for ICE.

Buried power lines are one of the best community infrastructure improvements. Minimizing lost AC in the summer and lost heat in the winter really protects the .ost vulnerable.

The President is a Master Bulder. He may even be "the Special!"
You wouldn't believe what he is gonna build with Legos.

Thank you! Didn't expect this so son after the Demonic Ox.

Not sure I want to catch 'em all?

I suspect each entrance will have a TAP pad so you can pay on the way in.

Can you tell he's wearing a hare piece?

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 6d

When you're the President, they let you do it.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 6d

That's no bet. Considering all the regulations that were ignored to START the demolition.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, but I agree with @goldwagnathan.bsky.social that Napoleon was just a special case Supervillain.

Hey, this worked great for the Praetorians.

Kevin Butler @milesnaismith.bsky.social · 6d

Yes

I don't understand. Does AI need monitors?

I'm wondering if Trump has a secret Brewster's Millions type bet going on. If he can completely destroy the US Government he gets a much bigger government? The Nobel Peace Prize? Putin patting him on the head?
