@LiberalLibrarian Yup. It's based on nothing but speculation.

Gee, Tesla is failing to protect the data security of its customers.

But sure, everyone will want to entrust their entire banking life and all their money to "X."

@Rustbelt_Dem In terms of fan passion, yes. But they've only been erratically good in recent years.

@Rustbelt_Dem And I say that as a Red Sox fan.

@Rustbelt_Dem It's good for the game if it isn't completely and constantly dominated by a few top money team. The game risks withering if it's a joke outside NY, Boston, Atlanta, LA, and a few other spots.

@LiberalLibrarian Yes, and they can end up dead if they don't meet their quotas... a recipe for corrupt recruitment and incompetent results.

@LiberalLibrarian A tempting argument, but I don't buy it. Firstly, he hasn't been directly charged with insurrection (for the very good reason that it would be extremely hard to get a conviction on such a charge). Secondly, even if he were so charged, I can't imagine SCOTUS upholding a ban under the 14th amendment.

The Baltimore Orioles' unexpected surge this season is great, and very good for baseball.

I hope they go all the way.

@LiberalLibrarian Sounds like a VIP with a protective detail, maybe?

I was once quite alarmed to see a jumbo jet fly over flanked by fighter planes. I figured a terrorist incident in progress. But it turned out it was AF1 carrying GWB to a 9/11 ceremony in NYC.

@LiberalLibrarian So he presumably didn't back Biden in 2020.

@LiberalLibrarian Do you know what it was doing?

@LiberalLibrarian He didn't back Hillary or Biden, did he?

@LiberalLibrarian Although it *could* also be domestic sabotage or simple incompetence.

@LiberalLibrarian Yes, he was. He already got slapped down for contempt of court and fined.

@floryloughead It's true that it wasn't in my own yard.

I've been dive-bombed by overly territorial mockingbirds, but this takes the whole aerial bad luck thing to a whole other level.

@LiberalLibrarian And leave his position of omniscient non-answerability?!?

@LiberalLibrarian But NYT expert-on-all-subjects Dave Leonhardt says abortion has no *electoral* impact against Rs because he forgets swing states exist.

@LiberalLibrarian We got 1.5 inches of rain in 15 minutes this morning. Just when I absolutely had to be on the road, of course. I've never seen street flooding like that. I wasn't sure a couple of times if the car would make it through.

@LiberalLibrarian

SILLY?!?
Silly?

Well, I suppose it is a bit. What are we all doing wasting our lives with this nonsense? Right, meeting adjourned forever!
