Looking like a fine day to reorganize the basement.
So far I found a little acrylic robot arm kit. Maybe if I unbury the workbench I can finally assemble it!

Whats so unnerving, among many other aspects of the whole sordid Epstein miasma, is how incestuous the world of these elites are. Everyone knows everyone. The personal, social, and professional spheres all overlap.

Nobody hates the Democratic party more than a true progressive.
The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

What does a risk pool mean when 100% of participants will require medical services at some point?
Health insurance isn't insurance, it a payment plan with extremely bad terms.

A man walks up to a newsstand every day, looks at the front page, and walks away.
Finally the newst. operator calls over, "what are you looking for? Every day you just look at the front page and leave"
Man: an obituary
Newsman: its at the end of the paper
Man: the one I want will be on page 1!

A conservation success story!

Alt: a panda bear is sitting on a wooden platform with toys, it barrels through them, falls, and manages to roll down every part of the stairs, as if on purpose. Just agent of chaos behavior.
