Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues hitting Russian refineries. Ironically, they do it in large part because of the US stalling at providing aid. US weapons come with the stipulation that they can't be used on the territory of Russia itself, but there are no such restrictions on the Ukrainian drones. At ea...

Re: World News Thread

Meanwhile in Russia, a 3-day event is under way in which Russians, in a free and clear election, will elect Vladimir Putin for another 6-year term. Despite there being no serious opposition, Putin isn't taking any chances. In Kursk, there were reports that government-provided pens had vanishing ink,...

Re: Gender and threats to "Normality" (spilit from "The challenges ahead")

If she self-identifies as a bimbo (a dumb, sexy, and probably promiscuous female), that's her business. I don't see why she can't have that name.

In the course of business, I see a lot of names, and some of them are... a lot, so Bimbo as a name doesn't phase me.

The concern in Congress is that a Chinese company has too much influence on American users. Having desperate users tell you they can't live without the company won't dispel that concern!

Barbara Lee appears to still live in 2003. I somehow didn't grasp that Porter was giving up her seat to run for Senate. That was a bad move, and I'm disappointed in her. It will be tough for Democrats to keep her seat. To bad the election wasn't last year, when California tax filing deadline was ext...

Adam Schiff ended up in first place in the California Senate race, with Steve Garvey in second.
I wanted Katie Porter, but I'm not too bummed because her congressional district is probably less securely Democratic.

A little bummed.
