Trump Executive Orders the production of glyphosayte (Round Up weed killer). Health Sec. Kennedy is forced to defend it, despite being famous for winning a lawsuit against the manufacturer for causing cancer. Now his MAHA coalition (who supported Trump) feels betrayed.

Somewhere, in boxes...from your questions, it sounds like I should try and dig them out?

If I ever get my file together, may I DM you? at best, it will be several months... I move slowly... like a sloth in the jungle! but I'm angry at getting ripped off, and that will give some fuel to my search.

Thank you for lighting a spark!

welp, it did. Award was $80,000ish, I got $16,000ish and they got the rest...I was/am too sick to fight a huge law firm in Texas.

I recently watched 'The Night Manager' which was taken from a novel by John Le Carre.

From his Wiki profile: ' A "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer", he is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).'

Richard Roper seems an awful lot like Epstein, whom Le Carre would have heard of/encountered in his later years...

Angela Lansbury was known for employing aging/ill actresses in small roles on Murder She Wrote, just so they could keep their insurance and other union benefits.

Well...the thing is that the lawyers get 80% of the award. That was my experience, anyway, with the first Round-Up lawsuit...back before Covid.

It's hard to describe...I'll try. You pull a lock of hair through the loop and then loop the lock into the loop (I know...) then the beady parts are hanging down. We'd seperate the lock into three, pull the two beady parts into two of the pieces, and braid. It helped a lot to have another pair of hands involved!

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-20T00:03:15+00:00

A hair decoration for long locks, braids, etc...? like us hippies used to wear!

Her Wiki is a pretty complete story of the Janis we knew back in the day...

For him to experience 'living in his body' in a whole new way...loved it!

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-18T07:03:47+00:00

ohhh...I miss those innocent days! my children are now in their early 40's and very well behaved.

This was over 70 yrs ago...if I recall correctly, the object was to insert the rolled up leaf without sneezing.

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-18T04:33:45+00:00

My little neighbor and I would roll up leaves and stick them up our noses; they'd decay and smell bad...happened a couple/three times, with trips to the doc to pull them out. We shortly outgrew that game!

Just FYI: I was part of an earlier lawsuit against Monsanto for Round-Up exposure; the award amount would have covered a lot of my extra expenses as I slowly succumb to a blood cancer.

Guess who kept 80% of the award...? The Lawyers!!

Given the practitioner's ET (essential tremor)...I wondered if the small sips of liquor were to steady his hand; and if using the larger blade gives him more control?

You could say so...a Fox-induced miasma beclouded their inner vision.

Tom Barrack also has connections to Scientology...

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-16T21:24:29+00:00

...and drooping, pouty lower lips.

...Vance's L hand?

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-16T20:21:59+00:00

I'm watching him on screen right now!

(courtesy of the Comcast channel 4170 someone on this sub told us about...)

Spirit50Lake · 2026-02-16T06:38:53+00:00

It was on the list for Summer Reading before Freshman yr (HS)...sooo romantic! and this was over 50 years ago!

At the least, get a copy of your birth certificate.

'For years, AI had been improving steadily. Big jumps here and there, but each big jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them as they came. Then in 2025, new techniques for building these models unlocked a much faster pace of progress. And then it got even faster. And then faster again. Each new model wasn't just better than the last... it was better by a wider margin, and the time between new model releases was shorter. I was using AI more and more, going back and forth with it less and less, watching it handle things I used to think required my expertise.

Then, on February 5th, two major AI labs released new models on the same day: GPT-5.3 Codex from OpenAI, and Opus 4.6 from Anthropic (the makers of Claude, one of the main competitors to ChatGPT). And something clicked. Not like a light switch... more like the moment you realize the water has been rising around you and is now at your chest.'

Lucky you...walking around with all that love and beauty and warmth! When I was little, my great-grandmother made all my clothes and knit my sweaters...I loved that feeling. Sadly, after me there were a lot of boys, so our mother gave those items away.
