n.n বলেছেন...: Mmm, croissant.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৫:৫৬ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Over 1,000 people are missing and still unaccounted for in North Carolina alone and the media couldn't be bothered. The entire northwestern part of South Carolina and most of western North Carolina are untravellable. Media couldn't care less. Can't make Kamala look bad right before the election.

This is Kamala's Katrina.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:০২ PM

Jaq বলেছেন...: The sunset today was a dead ringer for the sky during the total eclipse. I guess it was the clear skies to the west.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:১৯ PM
Jaq বলেছেন...: Thanks for the heads up.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:২৩ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: A Google Maps refrain these days; "Your route may be affected by Georgia Floods".

If Kamala or Trump were driving: "Your route to the White House may be affected by... "; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:২৬ PM
Narr বলেছেন...: The silver-tongued devil is dead. RIP Kris Kristofferson at 88--older than I would have thought.

Played opposite whatzername in A Bore Is Star'n'.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৩৩ PM
paminwi বলেছেন...: Saw that a congressman was on X asking for generators for constituents on ventilators. Guess that’s how people are getting their vital needs these days. AndJohn Kerry says we need to get rid of that pesky 1st Amendment because there is so much misinformation out there. Is this Congressman posting misinformation? I mean we could all think FEMA & local , state governments will take care of citizen’s needs.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৩৭ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: I just came back to say this. Thanks.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৩৯ PM

Mason G বলেছেন...: "I mean we could all think FEMA & local , state governments will take care of citizen’s needs."

Well... first, you have to determine whether or not they're Democrats and likely to vote for you. That takes time, you know.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৪১ PM
Jaq বলেছেন...: Just goes to show that good looks aren't enough to be a movie star.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৪৭ PM
wildswan বলেছেন...: I feel very curious about what's coming next in the Mid-East. Israel has just struck terrifying blows against the terrorist groups which were Iranian proxies. And Iran seem ready to retaliate and order a fight to the last member by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This is an attitude towards others which the Mid-East well understands. What will the terrorists do? - especially since they realize that they are literally in Israeli gunsights and that Israel is - choosing its next target. Who feels lucky?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৫২ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: "Well... first, you have to determine whether or not they're Democrats and likely to vote for you. That takes time, you know."

It will be faster once they're able to force us to wear badges.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৫৫ PM

Locals, you suppose?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৫৬ PM
tcrosse বলেছেন...: The Harris campaign TV ads seem to be getting more and more panicky. They are preaching to the choir rather than trying to persuade.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৫৭ PM
tcrosse বলেছেন...: You rang?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৬:৫৮ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: There's an ad where she says when she was a prosecutor, she never asked if you were a Republican or a Democrat. I actually find that quite shocking. What kind of mind goes there? I would have assumed it, until she apparently found it necessary to say so. But now, I don't believe her.

The ad runs a lot in Wisconsin, and it grates on me every time I hear it.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:০৩ PM
gilbar বলেছেন...: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/29/1042510168/kris-kristofferson-musical-rebel-and-movie-star-has-died-at-age-88; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:০৬ PM
Aggie বলেছেন...: No, it isn't and never will be. She's just the VP and not in charge of anything related to disasters. All it is for her, is a missed opportunity.

I do notice, as I'm sure many others do, that nobody is stepping forward with a helping hand, from the Federal Government. Nobody taking ownership. They're plenty willing to work up mischief behind closed doors and spring it on the unsuspecting public, but when it comes to being constructive, it goes against their grain.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:১১ PM

Big Mike বলেছেন...: Also a US Army helicopter pilot and he completed Army Ranger training, though I don’t know whether he actually served in Ranger unit.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:১৩ PM
Jaq বলেছেন...: I am just so happy to spend my time in states that are not in play, VT and FL. Nobody wastes too much money on either state. But the one ad I did see, it seemed like she was running for Santa Claus's job.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:১৩ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne বলেছেন...: এই মন্তব্যটি লেখক দ্বারা সরানো হয়েছে।; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:১৪ PM
Josephbleau বলেছেন...: The last of the red hot Scandinavians. Seems to me that the average life expectancy (if you live to 70) is pushing 90. My Mom lived to 100, and decided she wanted to die due to lung necrosis. Don't depend on social security, buy Berkshire B shares if you are an optimist, buy gold if not.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:১৪ PM
Josephbleau বলেছেন...: Government functionaries are there to tell you no, so that your congressman can intervene and be your hero.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:২০ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: Is this true?: "Harris / Walz Campaign BUSTED for using 2 paid actors to pretend they were former Pennsylvania Farmers & Trump Voters who switched to Kamala. Turns out the 2 were not only actors but democrat donors for years."; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:২১ PM
Josephbleau বলেছেন...: In my opinion, this is where the little kid punches the bully in the nose. The bully is nonplussed and demands it little kid be punished.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:২৩ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: "I will miss being your eyes and ears, but 42 years, all I can say is, can you believe it?"

Joe Castiglione, long time voice of the red sox on the radio retires.

If you ever watched "In the Bedroom" (2001) he's the one doing the game play by play.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৩০ PM
Josephbleau বলেছেন...: Just saw a vid of Walz flipping the bird to a student at the Michigan game who yelled Trump 2024. That's what happens when you are elected to high office in a one party state.

Why not smile at him and move on?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৩১ PM
Jaq বলেছেন...: OK, I flipped on a weather channel to check in on the Carolinas, where I have many close friends, and the forecast for the high temp for Boston was 67° F, not C, but F, and the color to indicated it was orange.

They just lie and lie and lie and repeat the lie and repeat the lie and repeat the lie. Is a high temperature of 67° hot? No, it's a lie. But if they repeat it enough, you will come to accept it.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৩৪ PM
Josephbleau বলেছেন...: That also makes me really wonder about him as a CSM E-9 in the Minn NG. Is that how he treated his enlisted folks?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৩৪ PM
Sprezzatura বলেছেন...: "I actually find that quite shocking. What kind of mind goes there? I would have assumed it, until she apparently found it necessary to say so."

You do assume this? If so you are very different than a lot of people that go on and on about political "lawfare."

DJT first ran w/ promises of "locking her up."

And, DJT fired Comey because Comey (registered R for most of his adult life) overly used the government to go after HRC before the 2016 election.

When you put these things together you get DJT promoting the investigation of HRC, and Comey did do that, but it turns out Comey investigating HRC was not legit (you may call it the deep state run amok attacking HRC), so DJT used Comey's having gone after HRC as the official reason to fire Comey.

Anywho, I don't believe you when you say you don't know anything about politically motivated prosecutors.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৪২ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: Is that the last of the batch of respected Boston game callers? Who’s left? I still consider Sean McDonough Boston even though he’s national now…and because of his dad…; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৪৮ PM
Breezy বলেছেন...: Harris ad this evening in NC claimed Trump was anti IVF. Despicable lie.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৪৮ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: DJT first ran w/ promises of "locking her up."

I don't remember hearing that. Do you have a link to back up your claim?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৫০ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: A while ago somebody put together a side-by-side of 2 UK national weather service temperature maps. One was from like the 1970s and the other was recent. Both temperatures for the days in question were similar (maybe it was in the 80s in the south and 70s in the north). The old map was rendered in pleasant greens and yellow, the new in scary red and orange. Same temperatures, very different impression.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৫১ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: anti-de Sitter Space, right?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৭:৫৪ PM
Eva Marie বলেছেন...: With candidate Kamala replacing candidate Biden, are the Democrats training, brainwashing us, to think of the Presidency as purely a ceremonial position?The permanent bureaucracy takes over the actual functions of the Presidency and every four years we pick a ceremonial head of state.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:০৭ PM
Sprezzatura বলেছেন...: Yes OM, I've used that name and many others.

MG: https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/02/politics/fact-check-trump-false-claim-lock-up-hillary-clinton/index.html; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:১৩ PM
Maynard বলেছেন...: @ Eva Marie

Yes.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:২২ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: I didn't expect to find it in a wide field-of-view image, but it didn't hurt to look.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:৪১ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: I notice your link has a number of "They should lock her up" comments from Trump, but I asked for a link of his promise to do so. You know- like you said above... DJT first ran w/ promises of "locking her up."; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:৪৮ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: And to be clear, "They should lock her up" and "I will lock her up"
are not saying the same thing. Wouldn't you agree?; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:৫২ PM
Political Junkie বলেছেন...: Lovely colors in that photo.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৮:৫৫ PM
Michael K বলেছেন...: Yup. Thanks to whoever smoked them out. We had a similar TV ad in AZ.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৯:০৬ PM
Michael K বলেছেন...: Lots of TDS around here. The crowds at the rallies shouted "Lock her up." Comey declined to prosecute her for obvious security crimes.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৯:১১ PM
FullMoon বলেছেন...: Saw a Dust Bunny here a while back.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৯:৪৩ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: Yes. Miss her.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ৯:৪৬ PM
FullMoon বলেছেন...: এই মন্তব্যটি লেখক দ্বারা সরানো হয়েছে।; ২৯/৯/২৪, ১০:০৮ PM
planetgeo বলেছেন...: Speaking of sunrises, I watched about a half dozen sunrises (and sunsets) over the last two days. I was checking periodically on the SpaceX and NASA live streaming of the Crew 9 mission to the International Space Station. From the launch to the rendezvous and docking with the ISS, and the hatch opening and celebration inside. What an incredible show and brilliant engineering achievement.

It's been a while since I watched, and this time I had the time to follow it carefully. We take so much for granted and waste so much time and energy on such trivial or such dark matters when now we see not just one but multiple sunrises a day on our beautiful Earth below.

Be thankful. We live in wondrous times.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ১০:১১ PM
FullMoon বলেছেন...: Wonder if Arabs are beginning to regret Oct 7? Don't think anybody expected this level of retaliation.Israel is serious. Biden will soon “have a talk” with Netanyahu; ২৯/৯/২৪, ১০:১২ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: "Don't think anybody expected this level of retaliation."

Netanyahu may be using Biden's vacuousness as an opportunity.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ১০:১৭ PM

Any comments on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President?
"With the collective bargaining effort I think they'll settle the strike."
That's not the Bee.; ২৯/৯/২৪, ১০:৩৪ PM

What planet do you live on?; ৩০/৯/২৪, ১:০৯ AM
Mutaman বলেছেন...: STANDING BACKSTAGE AT THE BEACON Theatre in New York, leaning against a crumbling brick wall in the dark, I could barely see Kris Kristofferson standing to my left. Willie Nelson was in the shadows to my right. Ray Charles was standing beside Willie, idly shifting his weight back and forth. A bit farther along the wall were Elvis Costello, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, Paul Simon and respective managers, friends and family. Everybody was nervous and tight. We were there for Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday concert in 2003. Up from the basement came one of country music’s brightest stars (who shall remain nameless) (ED Note: . At that moment in time, the Star had a monster radio hit about bombing America’s enemies back into the Stone Age. “Happy birthday,” the Star said to Willie, breezing by us. As he passed Kristofferson in one long, confident stride, out of the corner of his mouth came “None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris.” “What the luck did you just say to me?” Kris growled, stepping forward. “Oh, no,” groaned Willie under his breath. “Don’t get Kris all riled up.” “You heard me,” the Star said, walking away in the darkness. “Don’t turn your back to me boy,” Kristofferson shouted, not giving a shit that basically the entire music industry seemed to be flanking him. The Star turned around: “I don’t want any problems, Kris – I just want you to tone it down.” “You ever worn your country’s uniform?” Kris asked rhetorically. “What?” “Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer.” He paused just long enough to get a full chest of air. “I asked, ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not. So shut the fuck up!” I could feel his body pulsing with anger next to me. “You don’t know what the hell you are talking about!” “Whatever,” the young Star muttered. Ray Charles stood motionless. Willie Nelson looked at me and shrugged mischievously like a kid in the back of the classroom. Kristofferson took a deep inhale and leaned against the wall, still vibrating with adrenaline. He looked over at Willie as if to say, “Don’t say a word.” Then his eyes found me. “You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?” he whispered. I shook my head. “They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”; ৩০/৯/২৪, ১:১৩ AM
Kate বলেছেন...: RIP. One of the great lyricists.; ৩০/৯/২৪, ২:১৪ AM
wendybar বলেছেন...: How this THUG can say this with a straight face tells you all you need to know about these RADICALS. He is lying right to the American people's faces. You would have to be an ignorant, brainwashed idiot to believe a word out of his mouth after what these communists put Trump and his supporters through in the last 8 years.

What you’re witnessing this morning from the press is not some newfound commitment to honesty about the president’s condition, but rather complete rage that he didn’t do what he needed to in order to continue the lie they’ve been helping to legitimize.

Think about the coverup that was going on...

Every public face of the administration was either lying to us, fooling themselves, or probably some of both. But they weren't being honest, that's for sure.

gadfly বলেছেন...: Our "Hillbilly Elegy" Veep candidate does know, because he has never really lived in Appalachia, that people have always chosen to live along "cricks" in these mountains. When Tropical Storm Helene hit with its three feet of rain in the Asheville area, flash flooding blasted mostly remote, rural hollows trapping housing occupants. If searchers haven't found survivors by now their bodies are likely downstream in the Swannanoa River which reached flood levels not seen since 1791.

And Dixcus, above 90 IQ folks all know that politicians do not cause nor can they turn off hurricanes.; ৩০/৯/২৪, ৮:৩৪ AM
