Jaq म्हणाले...: I feel like one of those little rural dramas is about to unfold. Each evening, we sit on the screen porch, have a drink maybe, and watch night fall, and as the dusk gathers, a cute little rabbit appears on the lawn, apparently to eat clover, or maybe the dandelion leaves, or chickweed, or even the creeping Charlie. Well, last night, I fell asleep on the couch on the screen porch and was awakened by the hooting of a great horned owl up in the maple tree, so I am thinking it won't be long before our little rabbit friend is no more. Probably my fault for scattering clover seed in the lawn. Sorry little guy!

Yeah, this is what "summering" is all about!; २६/८/२४, ७:२९ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: The sunrise was beautiful this morning. Vivid red. Listening now to the cicadas because my windows are open.; २६/८/२४, ७:४९ PM
rehajm म्हणाले...: After subset we had something we haven’t heard before cooing in the back yard. Sending the sound recording around now. We’re staying inside in the meantime…; २६/८/२४, ७:५१ PM
rehajm म्हणाले...: I did the static poising on the Cyma balance this morning while waiting for the parts in the post to show up. Might have been a waste of time but, ah…time will tell. I reviewed a workshop on all the checks for the escapement. This thing was a mess so I want to be very thorough before I bother with assembly. Would hate to have to take apart and wash again…; २६/८/२४, ७:५५ PM
rehajm म्हणाले...: sun. set.; २६/८/२४, ७:५५ PM
Aggie म्हणाले...: At first I thought you were talking about Yoga.; २६/८/२४, ८:०३ PM
Noynac म्हणाले...: Heard a Pacific Loon yesterday calling (or announcing its territory). A very different repertoire than the Yellow-billed loon which seem to dominate the area. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pacific_Loon/sounds << 3rd call/link down. I imagined an animal in some sort of distress.; २६/८/२४, ८:०५ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: On a previous Sunrise I posted a video of professor Taleb talking about the "minority rule". Today I realized I put that into effect without giving it a second thought. It's a default mode.

I turn out a very small percentage of people receiving their Amazon packages make a note saying 'not to drive up their driveway' to deliver the package. I had usually visually sized them up according to how far I would have to walk to the front door. After about the 3rd note (out of thousands of packages) saying 'not to drive up their driveway', I decided I'm just not going to drive up on nobody's driveway. In short, let's just say the 2nd Amendment is a way of life here. Following instructions is just the best thing to do.

Link to video, if you are curious about what I'm talking about; २६/८/२४, ८:४२ PM
Dixcus म्हणाले...: Democrat Tulsi Gabbard ... who won more delegates in the Democrat Party primary elections than Kamala Harris .... has endorsed Donald Trump for President.; २६/८/२४, ८:४२ PM
Peachy म्हणाले...: The corrupt mob left tried to intimidate her by placing her on a terrorist watch list.; २६/८/२४, ८:४८ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: RFKjr response on X: "You were never my friend."

Keith Olbermann to RFKjr on X:
"To my old friend @RobertKennedyJr:
You're a fucking anti-American disaster"; २६/८/२४, ८:४८ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: Another contrarian video. The importance of doing nothing

"The contemporary subject realizes that it is now his ethical duty to pretend like he is not despairing, so as to appear happy for others and thereby being granted the acknowledgment of his existence."

Sounds to me like an apt description of post-Biden democrats. No joke.; २६/८/२४, ९:०९ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: Olbermann was not Bobby's friend, he was merely a client. Bobby sold coke to him.; २६/८/२४, ९:११ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: Tucker Carlson interview of RFK Jr.

Well worth your time. Remarkably informative.; २६/८/२४, ९:१७ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: Listening to Junior is like listening to a frog, but I made it through the part where he said that what Trump did on J6 was “reprehensible”. So he's not a total nutcase, only about 98%.; २६/८/२४, १०:०४ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: So it took Junior less than one business day to stab Trump in the back.; २६/८/२४, १०:१६ PM
Quayle म्हणाले...: Seems like a stilted world view and low-IQ thinking that compells one to judge absolutely everything based on whether it appears to benefit Trump or not. Mutaman, when you go to the store, do you judge the ripeness of bananas based on whether the selected bunch might benefit Trump?; २६/८/२४, १०:२३ PM
Achilles म्हणाले...: Today's episode of Strong Horse politics at work.

"I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it," reads the letter. "I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today."

He's also committed and "ready to push back if something like this happens again."

Zuckerburg knows that the game is up and he is trying to save himself because he knows who the next President is going to be.; २६/८/२४, १०:२३ PM
Achilles म्हणाले...: You have to get the 80 IQ take out there so the other morons don't feel alone.; २६/८/२४, १०:२४ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: Another day, another mutaman hoax! Mutaman has nothing else to offer...and lets face it, its more sad than anything else.

Meanwhile, kamala gets caught flat-footed by a gimme question and once again comes off like a confused special needs child.; २६/८/२४, १०:२४ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: You can just feel the flop sweat from the New Soviet Democraticals like mutaman.

Thats why Garland came out with his New Soviet Democratical threats against anyone who might notice thw sems corruption, the dems are suing to throw Kennedy, Stein and West off ballots (sound familiar?), Shapiro in PA is already openly saying they wont count the votes for days and weeks after the election and the Detroit New Soviet Democraticals are already locking out republican poll watchers.

So much "confidence" on Team Joy....

...as the political realignment of the normies vs the pro-islamic supremacist communists continues apace.; २६/८/२४, १०:३१ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: Quayle
"Mutaman, when you go to the store, do you judge the ripeness of bananas based on whether the selected bunch might benefit Trump?"

I have never called a bunch of bananas that i purchased "reprehensible".; २६/८/२४, १०:३२ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: "anyone who might notice thw sems corruption,"

This is how you write when you're not getting enough sex.; २६/८/२४, १०:३४ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: "RFK Jr Says He Will Join Trump Transition Team and Help Pick Trump Staff and Cabinet"

Its fairly clear why mutaman is pissing his/hers/xerself.; २६/८/२४, १०:४४ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: IDK if this got discussed in the JFK assassination thread; both RFK Jr and Tucker Carlson stated that Trump didn't release the files the first time around because Mike Pompeo "begged" him not to.; २६/८/२४, १०:४७ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: Also Ryan and McConnell and the GOPe worked hand in glove with the New Soviet Democraticals to threaten Trump with impeachment.; २६/८/२४, १०:४९ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: Unfortunately, Raffensberger/Kemp in GA and Richer in AZ are up to their old tricks, despite Kemp's protestations to the contrary.; २६/८/२४, १०:५३ PM
Mutaman म्हणाले...: "Trump didn't release the files the first time around because Mike Pompeo "begged" him not to."

Well that's certainly a reasonable excuse.; २६/८/२४, १०:५३ PM
Gospace म्हणाले...: Multiple threads seen tonight on how Jack Smith is trying to get Judge Cannon's dismissal of the classified documents case overturned. And- all sating how he was most definitely appointed in accordance with the constitution despite Judge Cannon's ignorance. And- apparently they didn't read Justice Thomas's opinion on another case concerning his appointment. Nor the opinions of several well known lawyers and law bloggers... it's all Judge Cannon's ignorance and she shouldn't be on the bench...

Ultimately this case was a loser for anyone bringing it against ANY former POTUS for possessing classified information. The former POTUS goes before the judge- "I declassified all documents in my possession and ones that I took with me while I was still POTUS." Now- how is any prosecutor going to prove he didn't? He didn't follow procedure? Uh- he's the ultimate classification authority while POTUS- there is no procedure HE has to follow. He didn't TELL anyone? Um, he's POTUS- everyone reports to him, not the other way around. The National Archivist says he didn't. Who the F--- is he to make that decision?

Jack Smith should be sued for malicious prosecution. And THAT should be a crime in and of itself.; २६/८/२४, १०:५७ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: Your russia collusion hoax/hoax dossier schtick and full weaponization of the entire US national security apparatus will find less suckers, such as yourself, buying into the transparent lies this time around.

Looks like you'll be stuck with the "drink bleach" and "fine people" hoaxes only. With your Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon fake "war hero" as VP you'll likely want to avoid the "losers and suckers" hoax and the russian bounties hoax.; २६/८/२४, १०:५९ PM
Drago म्हणाले...: Massie already completely exposed Garland's unconstitutional Soviet-like establishment of Smith's role.; २६/८/२४, ११:०२ PM
The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...: I came here to post this. I just started watching it and they are already talking about things that I think would have broad appeal to most Ameicans.; २६/८/२४, ११:०५ PM

Corksoaker deserves much worse than that.; २६/८/२४, ११:४३ PM
Kakistocracy म्हणाले...: Trump already had the Putin loving moron vote, hard to see how Tulsi Gabbard helps him.; २७/८/२४, १२:११ AM
wendybar म्हणाले...: Yet??? You really should go get help for your TDS, it is getting worse.; २७/८/२४, २:५० AM
wendybar म्हणाले...: Wow. At least you admit you are voting for Trump...speaking of MORONS who love Russian hoaxes.; २७/८/२४, २:५२ AM
wendybar म्हणाले...: Tell us something we haven't known for years, and tell us we are the conspiracy theorists AGAIN. This is getting tiring. We all know the Progressives are communists, and they pretend WE are nuts for noticing. Put them all in prison. We need to put law and order back and take out the threats of communism.

Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.

2. Facebook censored Americans.

3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Big win for free speech.; २७/८/२४, ३:२३ AM

#Election2024: The Trump campaign is up with a new ad this morning attacking Harris on the economy and inflation.

Trump's campaign currently has $60.5M in future reservations through Election Day.

rehajm म्हणाले...: It’s a horrible new choice. There wasn’t enough conflict in the world a few Tuesdays ago..; २७/८/२४, ४:२१ AM
Christopher B म्हणाले...: Just spit balling here but almost everything done in web apps seems to be predicated on a mobile device interface, or at least a touch screen for manipulation. Using a threaded format means you don't have to cut and paste anything from the original comment, which also avoids the need to manually add HTML formatting to distinguish your comment from the quote. I think it also eliminated the 'old .. older ... oldest' divisions when the number of comments rises. I don't know about the comment control but at first glance it appears to facilitate deleting not just a single comment but all the replies to that comment in one shot which would eliminate some clutter in heavily moderated comment threads (and leave no trace that the thread had even been moderated); २७/८/२४, ४:४९ AM
MadTownGuy म्हणाले...: Alaska Supreme Court Clears Ranked Choice Voting Repeal Measure for November Ballot

A convoluted headline, but the upshot is that Alaska's "ranked choice" voting may be repealed. Good.; २७/८/२४, ५:१४ AM
rhhardin म्हणाले...: Robert Wright and Paul Bloom (clip) managing to make themselves as unpleasant-looking as possible. The far-reaching effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.; २७/८/२४, ५:३४ AM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: Headline on the NYPost: “Zuckerberg admits Biden admin pressured Facebook to censor COVID content, says it was wrong to suppress The Post’s Hunter laptop coverage”

Why would Zuckerdork say this now? Could it be the Dork has his own polling info and sweating as to who will win in November. Dork: “It wasn’t my fault, the Devil made me do it”.; २७/८/२४, ५:३९ AM
Tina Trent म्हणाले...: Drago, what, if anything, do you know about Georgia politics? Or are you one of those Georgia Assembly fools who fell for their covert political leftist pimps and threw the Senate race and Senate control -- to Kamala -- so their "votes wouldn't get stolen?"; २७/८/२४, ५:४४ AM
Temujin म्हणाले...: The result is it makes me participate less. It's annoying to read, annoying to post.; २७/८/२४, ५:५० AM
Kate म्हणाले...: I still click on the post's headline, which gives me the old style format. If someone's posted a reply, it doesn't show up as threaded. A bit of a guessing game to read.

We hate it; Althouse has no control of it. Life under the internet borg.; २७/८/२४, ६:३८ AM
narciso म्हणाले...: Im cynical about most legs as molly ivins dubbed it, for different reasons seeing as how many gope senators enabled this regime as they have empowered the likes of fani willis; २७/८/२४, ६:५८ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Jack Smith should be sued for malicious prosecution. And THAT should be a crime in and of itself.

Jack Smith and Merrick Garland should be sued for malicious prosecution. FIFY Gospace. A few hundred million apiece should make Trump whole again — and serve as a warning.; २७/८/२४, ७:०७ AM
Aggie म्हणाले...: 'Trump's campaign currently has $60.5M in future reservations through Election Day.' What does that mean? What are 'future reservations', I wonder? In terms of Presidential Elections, it's hard to imagine that as a meaningful number.; २७/८/२४, ७:३५ AM
Kakistocracy म्हणाले...: In other words, Zuckerberg decided he can make the most money by sucking up to the Jim Jordan's and Marjorie Taylor Green's.

They say he's a nerd but he can read a room....; २७/८/२४, ८:०२ AM

wendybar म्हणाले...: He's probably afraid he's going to prison like a whole lot of people should for the lies, hate, violence and craziness they put us through in the last 16 years since Hussein divided the country. He and the other Media rats are jumping ship hoping they can save what little reputation they have left.; २७/८/२४, ८:१८ AM
Peachy म्हणाले...: So you are OK with the government forcing and pressuring social media to use censorship to push a dangerous unproven Covid vax? An unproven covid vax and the BS boosters - that do nothing but actually cause more covid and worse? Heart problems and birth defects.

Michael McNeil म्हणाले...: What is Blogger’s theory behind this horrible new format?

Many blogs over the years have chosen nested format; I presume Blogger imagines it's an improvement.

I don't like it myself, however—and anyone can still choose to read the comments in chronological order: simply follow the “date/time” link at the bottom of the original posting—just to the right of where it says “Posted by Ann Althouse” and read the comments from there.

Since many people are still accessing the blog that way, however, it behooves people (who want their comments to be read and understood, anyway) to include enough context so it's clear what the hell you're talking about.; २७/८/२४, ८:३१ AM
Breezy म्हणाले...: The Zuckerberg jig is up. If you believe him. Trust but verify.; २७/८/२४, ८:३३ AM
Iman म्हणाले...: We’ve got quite a few of Joe Biden’s “One Horse Pony” lefties mincing around the corral lately.; २७/८/२४, ८:३४ AM

why it's ... Marjorie Taylor Green. and Putin!; २७/८/२४, ८:३९ AM

ronetc म्हणाले...: Well, if the new format means Temujin posts less frequently, that is sufficient reason to terminate it. Generally, Temujin is the sanest, most reasonable voice in any comment session.; २७/८/२४, ८:४१ AM

Fauci knew about and did nothing to stop cruel dog abuse for the Big-Pharma paycheck bullshit Covid vax.; २७/८/२४, ८:५७ AM
