@BodyofBreen I seldom hear what Craig says because I’m hypnotized by the back-and-forth of his hands.

Does our president have the attention span to watch an entire NBA game?

In addition to five pages of self-serving blather, we see that the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois doesn’t know how to reproduce a cliche accurately. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/media/1443716/dl?inline

☃️ What is the speed of sound on the Moon?

Honestly, if people just read my blog, they would’ve known months ago how Trump dishonestly miscalculates drug price reductions.

@podfeet I was able to scroll on both of those pages in iOS Safari, but I have run into several sites lately that wouldn’t scroll. Restarting Safari sometimes works but not always. It’s very frustrating.

This may be a record for Apple Watch obliviousness. Had been on my feet continuously since before 7:00, cleaning up after breakfast, going upstairs, putting away laundry, and my watch still hadn’t given me credit for standing. Had to do a few jumping jacks to get it to register.

I don’t mean to make all you HomeKit users jealous, but I wanted to automate a lamp in my living room, and this has been working perfectly.

Is there a parallel story I’ve missed? One about shutting down border crossings at El Paso/Juarez?

And now the airspace closure is lifted?

The desire for artificial intelligence is strong because the real stuff is rare.

@WarnerCrocker All January, I took my morning walk later than usual, hoping the additional couple of degrees would make it more comfortable. Now I have to make sure I don’t overdress.

I remembered that the spurious equals signs we keep seeing in the Epstein files were an email encoding thing, but I didn’t know the details laid out here:

I try to avoid doing things that make my (adult) children roll their eyes, but I just sent a text telling them to open the cabinet doors under any sinks on outside walls.

☃️ An interesting mathematical reversal by Donald Trump.

@WarnerCrocker I’m sure Johnson thought it was going to be a high-scoring game when he went for it on that first drive. Tough finish after that tying touchdown.

Applying for a job at ICE should put you on a watch list of some sort. Being hired by ICE should put you on a desert island, far from decent people.

Has there been any explanation given for taking Maduro’s wife? Is she named in the indictment? Was it for “her safety”? Is it now DOJ policy to arrest drug dealers’ spouses?
