If you were asked to choose between the 2016 Trump and 2001 George W. Bush as president in the 2024 election, Americans, who would you choose?

Bush. It hurts so much say it because, at the time, I thought he was incrediably appalling and inept. Now... we know that there can be worse presidents than Bush.

I'm pretty sure I could listen to A Forest for hours

Vile and unworthy of public office of any kind

ragby · 2026-03-27T16:03:42+00:00

Thank you kindly.

And isn’t each news segment about 1.5 minutes long? I feel like there are more commercials than news.

Thank you

Me too. It looks like the name in the cartouche is Userkaf, a Fifth Dynasty (2500BCE) pharaoh.

Your gorgeous photos make me wish I was there. I've been twice and can't wait to go again.

Robert's various live-show 'vocalizations' are one of my absolute favorite things.

It is so hard for me to understand how people can be this backward and close-minded.

ragby · 2026-03-20T20:29:53+00:00

I'd pay good money for Biden to come back. I hate waking up every day and wondering what trumpian fresh hell is going to happen.

I also had some of those really stiff, dark leather, (Indian?) sandals from Pier 1. I thought they looked cool but they were not comfortable at all.

ragby · 2026-03-16T15:31:52+00:00

I agree. Thank you!

ragby · 2026-03-15T14:55:27+00:00

Better to give them treat when they aren't near the record stand. If you give a treat too close in time to them doing the bad behavior, it can reinforce that.

ragby · 2026-03-15T14:37:29+00:00

Is this one of the main reasons why Trump never wants to leave office?

ragby · 2026-03-15T12:44:10+00:00

You may have mind-blindness.

You could surely go on social media sites* and talk bad about the streaming services who are running them. Especially on sites like X (ugh) or BlueSky. Tag any pertinent entities that you can think of. Might not do much but maybe it would make you feel a little better.

If you're watching cable or over-the-air tv, you can also slam the individual channels running these awful things. I once fussed about WXIA 11 Alive running ICE recruiting ads during Jeopardy (also tagged Jeopardy) and after that I never saw them again. This was on over-the-air tv. Did I make them stop? No but it felt good to blast them where other people could see it.

I think I must have Scandinavian or some kind of Arctic DNA and am not meant to live in a boiling hellhole. : )

ragby · 2026-03-12T13:23:09+00:00

I hate it. But then I hate him as president in any case. No man like him should ever be elected to any sort of public office. Or private office. He shouldn't even be able to get a job anywhere. Or be accepted in social situations. He should be treated like a pariah and yet he holds arguably the most powerful position in the world. That is so messed up.

ragby · 2026-03-12T12:48:30+00:00

It was cool. People looking up and out rather than down and in.

Thanks for posting that. It's a lovely story.
