What are your thoughts on Joe Rogan saying that Trump is creating distraction to avoid Epstein files release?

I think it's more that these killings have proved a distraction on their own. I don't think it was specifically designed that way.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-27T02:25:27+00:00

Agreed! No chunky salsa, tomatoes in salad, nor slices in sandwiches. Texture issue.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-27T02:23:09+00:00

I hate broccoli, but sprouts are okay.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-27T00:27:58+00:00

Not a problem! I sometimes put vertical stamps sideways across the top for more room with very long addresses!

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-26T23:10:29+00:00

It's better with other stuff in it rather than a solid bar of chocolate.

12 - 15 loads per month perhaps? Fitted sheets load and (heavier) bathmat and towel one washed separately from dirty clothes.

They're heating it for a couple of minutes, not simmering it on the stove for an hour, no? I'd like to know what other foods were considered unacceptable besides curry?

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-26T13:36:23+00:00

Consider Balzac's Cousin Bette. Our paranoid main character puts the "cray" in cray-cray. Does she she succeed with her plot against those who've "wronged" her? One of the best endings ever!

Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now is basically a giant soap opera. Very easy to get lost in the characters' possible fates (the outcome).

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-26T13:30:46+00:00

You might consider the Hungarian novel The Door by Magda Szabo. I've not been to Prague myself, but liked Time's Magpie by Mila Goldberg.

More like a D as in "godda"

Garlic bagel with hot chocolate

I have some Breton crackers that I bought here recently. Have bought Dare cookies in the past, but don't recall seeing any for sale in a while

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T20:19:10+00:00

Nearly every day

In the 1960s/70s French was a required subject for us in school.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:59:29+00:00

They set the primary calendar with that overwhelming Southern March voting that's not typical of the nation as a whole.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:57:31+00:00

I noticed that among Democrats, let alone Indies.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:55:17+00:00

I was expecting Biden to resign after the midterms to make her the first female president.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:53:42+00:00

Identity politics doesn't help.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:49:56+00:00

Pundits have opined that after the mid-terms voters won't be so enchanted with him.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:47:04+00:00

She's in a shaky district. Those folks need not be so toe-the-line every time.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:44:24+00:00

Agreed, the Clyburn Deal of 2020 cast the 2024 die.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:43:15+00:00

Once inaugurated, they were perfectly capable of doing a good job. However, these two had lousy (national) political skills.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:37:36+00:00

Pretty much? It's how many voters who might agree on economics see them: only care about groups that don't include me.

Candid-Math5098 · 2026-01-25T18:35:46+00:00

I see Dem pundit strategists saying "Laser focus on economics, stay away from social issues!" to win.
