    "Trump is great on Twitter because he can sum up everything he knows in 140 characters."

  • Literally exists.

    "Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. Six self tests to determine what natural talents you have, then a list of jobs that use those talents. For example, a paramedic and a product demonstrator both need to have good mechanical skills and good people skills. Tow totally different jobs with a similar skill set.

    It pointed me at a job I'd never considered; I liked it from the first day of class and made a career out if it.

  • Read the Time Travel stories of Fritz Leiber.

    One of the things he talks about is how theaters would be the best place to put a time machine. No one would think it strange that someone in Elizabethan clothing is chatting with an astronaut.

    • We're choosing a musical name for our baby daughter.

    Jump

  • I edited it to be 'Brass.'

    I got some upvotes with 'Bass' so either everyone out here is as dumb as I am or people know bass players are horny.

    Probably both.

  • Don't name a girl "Brass," or she'll grow up horn-y.

    edit Brass not Bass

    • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • The question I ask is why people needed to be excited at all?

    Trump was openly talking about aiding the Israelis plus stopping aid to Ukraine.

    Apparently, people thought if they didn't vote for Harris Trump wouldn't win either.

  • I suppose I could do a fact check on that, but my mind is still reeling from the music video he released yesterday.

    If you didn't see it, he's a rock star with a dozen go-go dancers behind him. And a flag guitar.

  • Crime novelist Jim Thompson [Pop.1,280] wrote a novelization of the TV show Ironside.

    If that's not esoteric, I don't know what is.
