Am I the only one suddenly finding the obnoxious "Help me write" choice at the top of common right-click Chrome context menus where the incredibly useful "Undo" choice used to be? No more UNDO? HUH?

By the way, Google, I already damned well know how to write, and there's a snowball's chance in Hell of my letting your "AI" write anything for me.

I would be in the laundry room, over the washing machine, hiding behind the duct tape. But's that's if I were a roll of electrical tape.

A while back I stuck some googly eyes on some fish & was annoyed because it was a rubbish loop & a bit slapdash even for me, so I got another clip & have sporadically been adding more googly eyes.

Decided it was done & generated the new file.

Downside: The loop is worse & overall the new clip looks just the same.

Upside: I think I've discovered a new form of adding-googly-eyes-to-moving-fish therapy. Surprisingly relaxing. Would recommend.

A video clip of a dark aquarium tank with many fish, all the same kind, swimming back and forth. Quite a lot of them have had a set of googly eyes and an open O mouth added.

Docket, NOT SO FAST:

Judge Kaplan set time for to oppose Trump's supersedeas bond request, and March 11 oral argument if she does

@GottaLaff

So... and if Carroll does object to the bond as posted, and the judge upholds that objection... what then?

Via Pagliery: 1/...

Taking a closer look at the judgment entered Friday, the math becomes pretty clear.

For example, each day that convicted tax cheat and one-time Org CFO Allen Weisselberg doesn't pay up, he owes another $246.57 in interest.

That's on top of the $1,101,342.46 he owes today.

Similarly, Don Jr. and Eric Trump each owe an extra $989.51 with every passing day.

They're each on the hook for $4,662,144.37 right now.

@GottaLaff

So... what happens if, say, Trump does not appeal; but also, does not pay?

    @freemo @FeralRobots @lizstl13

    The number-crunching rather disingenuously misses the point, which is that here is a SEVERE problem; that problem desperately needs attention; when we start figuring out how to redress it, then is the time to start trying to be "precise" as to the exact scope of the problem.

    Your rebuttal, here, is bullshit.

    For example, read the first parts of the book of Acts in the Christian Bible, describing how the early church community lived: you will not find a stricter socialist than Peter....

    Hi, everyone:

    No matter what I post, 90% of the comments are filled with rage and cynicism.

    To respond, I wrote a series of blog posts here:

    https://terikanefield.com/can-democracy-work-in-america-part-1-there-are-no-yankees-here/

    The country (and democracy() can survive Trump.

    I don't know if democracy can survive the degree of rage and cynicism I see.

    I'm afraid that I really don't do much good with my squirt gun up against the firehose of destructiveness.

    I am beginning to think . . .

    The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin just said (on Threads) that last night's results show that 90% of political reporting is garbage.

    That's because 90% of "coverage" is speculation and opinion. An email from the NYT "The Tilt" assured me that it was a good night for Democrats but that doesn't mean anything for 2024.

    Rubbish.

    Elections tell us how voters feel. Polls do not and pundits do not.
