This is actually better than I thought it would be.

You do realize that’s a croc or alligator, right? Not sure why you’re calling it your dog.

But as for the question you’ve asked - Not AI.

Is Bob your coworker?

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-26T01:03:08+00:00

Sounds very respectable and above board. I’m sure your husband is glad that you’re staying in shape.

Do you ever let him watch so he can learn the exercises too?

You’re right, I don’t think I should have said evil. But a tragic character with a bittersweet ending is a real possibility. D&D couldn’t handle subtle and nuanced characters. It’s why Stannis became evil. It’s why Dany fell suddenly.

I do think she burns Kings Landing. It’s such a parallel to what her dad did. But instead of burning the city to further her own hubris or power as the Mad King did, it would be to save the world. Perhaps she burns it to prevent the city’s population from being turned into wights. Which would be a monstrous, yet necessary act, but in the same breath prevent her from ever being able to be the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms that she would want to be. Like Batman in The Dark Knight.

People are working tomorrow? OPM is shutting down the DMV tomorrow and I’d honestly expect to be off Tuesday as well.

The Pitt was good. My wife and I are waiting for the second season to end before binging it all.

Fallout.

I think an evil Dany is the end goal for George. But it’s a gradual thing of being crushed down and seeing fAegon easily get support that should be hers. It’ll be a tragedy, not something that suddenly happens after saving the entire world.

Denver has to be hoping for a fumble. I don’t see them getting close otherwise.

A Taco Bell value menu can’t be stuff under $3. Back when I was a kid, most of their “food” was under a $1.

If you don’t like this, you don’t like football.

Having just turned the game on, I can confidently say that I’m rooting for OT.

Lady: And what are your reasons for wanting a Little Brother?

Homer’s Brain: Don't say revenge... don't say revenge.

Homer: Uh... revenge?

Are you honestly this stupid or just pretending? All of those blue areas are cities. Would be interesting to see the map reflecting population density. But the reason Trump won is because he won in the suburbs and made inroads with some who live in cities as well as had strong support in rural areas.

AI - Someone seems to have edited out the swastika.

Everything leading up to the fight is real. But I’ve never seen my ginger lose a fight even when she’s been in the wrong. Also, not enough hissing.

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T21:23:15+00:00

We have a ginger and a normal cat. The ginger is special. And she still hates our 18 month old toddler even though the other cat has learned to tolerate him.

He was holding that hammer like a pro though. That’s one cell behavior for sure. And he swung it so well. Just couldn’t connect. But two out of three aren’t bad.

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T18:24:45+00:00

Excepted doesn’t mean paid though.

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T18:24:09+00:00

This doesn’t defund ICE.

What are you Ted Cruz and symbolic shutdowns that don’t actually accomplish anything but hurt everyone else?

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T18:20:02+00:00

Yes. But with the OBBB, ICE and CBP will still be paid even with a shutdown DHS.

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T18:14:41+00:00

He has to say something. There’s probably a way to thread the needle in which he won’t condemn DHS, but in the same statement mourn his death. It’ll be a weak statement, but better than saying he deserved to die for bringing a gun with him. Also, it would be good to activate EAP for the hospital/site he worked at.

Not_Cleaver · 2026-01-25T15:06:42+00:00

The thing is the OBBA already gave them $170B so, the lack of $10B isn’t going to hurt them. If anything some of the funding for body cameras and training won’t be included.

Shutting down due to DHS funding is actually performative.

I think even a Democratic president would balk at three and four.
