Nearer my Q to thee
  • “Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.”

  • JD Vance endorsed book by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist calling left ‘unhumans’
  • The thing is, I don’t think you’re going to find anyone who’s willing to run as Trump’s VP that doesn’t have some sort of baggage like this. He’s looking for someone who’ll ignore valid election results as some sort of leftist scam.

  • Donald Trump may drop JD Vance for Nikki Haley, ex-Clinton adviser says
  • Sure, just remember, if you change who’s on the ticket after the convention, you can’t really complain if the Democrats complain who’s on the ticket before theirs.

  • North Korean trash balloons cause flights to be suspended in South Korea
  • If challenged on this, South Korea simply replies they’re responding to trash with trash.

  • Apple Maps launches on the web to take on Google
  • In iOS, that’s a function of the Calendar app, not Maps. Create a new event, set the location & start time, then “Time to Leave” should be the first option in the Alert dropdown.

  • House Republicans say Biden must resign after ending reelection campaign
  • 25th Amendment, Section 2:

    Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

    Between the do-nothing House and the hypothetically deadlocked Senate, it’d never happen. Besides, without a VP, the Speaker of the House is the next in line for the Presidency.

  • House Republicans say Biden must resign after ending reelection campaign
  • The one upside for the Republicans of Harris becoming POTUS right now is that she’d no longer be able to break any ties in the Senate, letting them bring both houses of Congress to a halt.

  • Next thing you're gonna tell me they often reused a cave set or ran the same footage of a Klingon Bird of Prey explosion
  • SNW cheats by using a digital set for their alien worlds instead of Planet Hell. Just change the objects in the foreground and swap out the images on the screens behind the actors and you have a new planet. This set is also used for Engineering, with some railings and consoles installed.

  • Just a reminder that Kamala is garbage too
  • Didn’t take the propagandists long to switch their targets.

  • How am I just now realizing this?
  • I guess you could make the argument that it adds a bit of diversity to the alien looks for the cast. Keeping the “The Host” look would have one of the female cast members playing an alien with a wrinkly nose and the other female cast member playing an alien with a wrinkly forehead.

  • How am I just now realizing this?
  • Her makeup would also get repurposed into the Trill makeup. Kamala is a Kriosian; the powers that be didn’t like the original Trill rubber forehead from “The Host” on Terry Farrell, so they switched to Famke Janssen’s look from this episode and hoped no one would call them on it.

  • BIDEN DROPS OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE
  • I wish he had done this last November. I voted in the Republican primary this year just because the Democratic Primary was seen as non-competitive. I would have much rather had a chance to vote for a candidate I liked rather than voting against a candidate I didn’t like.

  • Nintendo celebrates 40 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Switch
  • How do they get 40 years? The first Ninja Turtles game was released on the NES on May 12, 1989. That’s only 35 years by my reckoning.

  • What is a "bad video game" you have bought as a joke (as in just for the laughs, the lols)?
  • I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

  • Barack Obama ‘says Biden must seriously consider stepping down’
  • If people were going to pressure Biden to step down, I really wish they had done it back in November or December so we could have voted on a replacement in a primary, rather than one being appointed at the convention.

  • Bob Newhart, legendary comedian, dead at 94
  • Larry, his bother Daryl, and his other brother Daryl are all alive and well, though they’ve each retired in the last five years. Larry’s 80, his brothers are both in their 70’s.

  • they look so dumb
  • Wearing face masks is unacceptable, but…

  • NYC to Boston in 100 minutes: a high-speed train proposal picks up steam
  • Connecticut officials are upset that some CT cities are being bypassed, but the whole reason for the bypass is the low speed limits on CDOT owned MetroNorth tracks.

  • I am the fountain of affection, and the instrument of joy.
  • Jokes are less funny if you have to explain it, but if you need it...

    unofficialnetworks.com Stratton Announces $6.9 Million In Capital Projects For The 2023-24 Season

    Stratton Mountain is investing $6.9 million for the 2023/2024 season, enhancing multiple facets of the guest and employee experience beginning in the base area with RFID lift gates...

    The change I’m most excited to see is RFID ticketing. I keep my pass in a pocket built into the hem of my jacket, it’s always been a pain when I go to Stratton and have to flip it out to be hand scanned.
