OK I'm kind of stunned how AI can make anything sound like a song.

I loaded my pinned post and this spit out.

Excuse me please if I'm like a kid with a new toy for just a little bit.

".....sooooooooyyy latte...."🤣

@gabriel_zucman I hope the case study about the evisceration of California’s tax base includes an explanation of why you wanted to destroy their capital base and their total tax revenues. Why the hate for California?

A quick reminder....

When someone says "Our Democracy", they aren't including you and me.

They mean "Their Democracy" and you and I aren't part of it.

I'm assuming incredible incompetence when the design team for the GWOT memorial makes it look like the primary terrorist symbol.

@SandyofCthulhu Focus groups really vary with the composition, the instrument, and the moderator. Some suck. Some are excellent for the task.

@shipwreckedcrew I too have been named a "Super Lawyer". It goes in the spam folder.

@jd_sauvage @MilitaryCooI I watched a 2LT sent to the supply sergeant for a box of grid squares during a map reading class. Upon return, the sergeant running the class looked at the map and said, "Sir, what's that?" as he pointed to the map.

@CynicalPublius Teaching them how to think requires considering alternative views and exploring whether one's initial assumptions were correct and rational; two acts that most current professors cannot allow to happen. Their world views narrowed to the point it risks their own ego destruction.

Great job!

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position.

LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!

@normanbuntzhsb @RobSchneider @EagleInTheCloud @ChicagoBears Primarily a lack of the harassment of Illinois and Chicago government. Also, a good portion of the Chicago area can drive to Hammond faster than they could drive to Arlington Heights.

Gandalf, whose true name is Olórin, is a Maia of the Ainur; in essence, an immortal spirit. During his battle with the Balrog in Moria, his physical body, his old man guise as an Istar, was destroyed, meaning what we call “death” for him was only the end of his physical form. His spirit was cast beyond time and space, outside the bounds of Arda.

At this point, it is not the Valar who intervene. Gandalf’s mission is not yet complete, and his sacrifice triggers a higher authority that surpasses even the Valar’s jurisdiction: Eru Ilúvatar himself. Eru calls him back from the Timeless Halls and sends him once again to Middle-earth.

For a Maia, taking physical form again requires great sacrifice and power. In this rebirth, Gandalf does not merely return; he is restored with even greater strength and elevated to leadership among the Istari. Taking the place of the fallen Saruman, he becomes Gandalf the White, now endowed with higher authority to complete his task.

His spirit is returned naked to the peak of Zirakzigil, where he is reborn anew. He is then found and rescued by Gwaihir the Eagle and carried to Lothlórien, where he is fully healed. This transformation marks him as no longer just a guide, but one of the direct instruments of divine will in the war against Sauron.

@ingelramdecoucy @grahamformaine Decided to marry a guy with a huge Totenkopf tattoo on his chest. Perhaps her judgment shouldn't be trusted.

@shipwreckedcrew The polls have had a horrible record in previous elections predicting Collins actual vote percentages.

[Sean Mead @SeanMMead]

@catturd2 Undecided at 16% in a race with an incumbent should not be a good indicator for that incumbent.

@BrendanCarrFCC Pull all the broadcast licenses and auction them off. The old stations can buy them at auction if they can deliver the value that spectrum is worth.

@shipwreckedcrew Back when my day job was a lawyer, I frequently found some of my best case law for my position by reading the cases the OC cited.

@shipwreckedcrew I would love to hear how they decided a successful tactic for countering his masculinity problem was publishing a photo where he looked like a 14 year old that mommy dressed eating BBQ with a napkin.

@QTRBlackGarrett @EndWokeness @RealDaveA78 That would be along the lines of a color revolution playbook.
