Did you watch them go up? I did...every time.

^^A5^^

Could someone explain that to me?

^^A6^^

There's a little larceny in all of us.
^^A7^^

Do you think we ought to tell them?

Prove me wrong.

I've been fascinated by "high-status profiles" for a long time. 

That young woman has it in spades.

A civil rights group is challenging legacy admissions at Harvard University, saying the practice discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni. The practice of giving priority to the children of alumni has faced growing pushback in the wake of last week’s Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action in higher education. The NAACP added its weight behind the effort on Monday, asking more than 1,500 colleges and universities to even the playing field in admissions, including by ending legacy admissions.

And I find that hilarious. And here's why.

I applied to Yale for my master's degree. That year they had 12 slots. There were 800 applicants. They culled it down to 60 and those people had to go to New Haven for an interview unless they lived overseas. I drove my 8-month pregnant wife up there in an old truck loaded with paintings. Once there I talked to as many art students as I could and found out that I didn't have a chance and all this visiting was just for show. Why. Out of the final 60 applicants, children of alumni were pre-slated to fill every slot.

Back in the 70s, I watched a movie called Soylent Green. It was set in 2022. I will not be eating fake meat.

Would it kill a 9-year-old child to use beauty cream that makes you 10 years younger?

STUFF YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY


A 1950s television show did the unthinkable: surprise a victim of the Hiroshima bombing by introducing him to one of the bombers on live TV.

It's sort of like a perpetual motion machine only with electrons.

Speaking of...

That reminds me of Richard Petty racing on brand-new Sears tires on Sunday and then returning them on Monday because they were worn out.

If ten years ago someone had told you that in the future the United States of America would start banning books I bet you wouldn't have believed it.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL


More anasaphilia...

And to remind you of what a marvel they are...

That's amazing.

Foot fetish?

Now to music...

Did you recognize that very appropriate music?

^^C5^^

I don't eat anything that grows out of the dirt either.

^^C6^^

It's strange how some things just stick in your memory...forever. Every time I see little frogs I think about those hundreds of them that died trying to cross a sidewalk of wet concrete and left perfect impressions of themselves in the surface. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it.

On a side note - why do you think it has wind turbines on the side?

This man looks like he is restraining his truck. 

What do you think happens when he lets go?

I like the way the car pulls forward to protect the cyclists.

Talk about your videos that end too quickly. Damn.

Really sad, one might expect it from the one side but both sides are doing this shit. Then there's self censorship where publisher does it to pander to the pc/woke brigade like with Dr. Seuss for example. Y'all lost your collective shit.

Dear A6 Anon,

A12; You wouldn't tolerate "free" health care for a day; the standards and waiting times here in England are appalling. You have to pay to "go private" to obtain the quality of care you enjoy...

@Mike Harris A12 - It's no better here in the US if you pay for insurance. The insurance companies are in control of paying the doctors. Heaven forbid you don't have a job that provides insurance; then it is just tough shit all together.

I went to my Dr. back in April of 2022 about numbness in my hand and he diagnosed it as Ulnar nerve entrapment. Said we have to wait and see it it gets better on it's own.

Finally, after many more visits, I was approved to see a neurologist in March of 2023. Got to see him in the first week of April 2023, and he looks at it and says, "yep, looks like Ulnar nerve entrapment. Better schedule a test to be sure".

We scheduled a test at the end of April and confirmed what everyone already knew - Entrapped ulnar nerve.

Finally - I get to see a surgeon in near the end of May. It looks at it and says, "To bad you didn't see me sooner. We might have been able to save the muscles in you hand from atrophy. We better schedule surgery".

June 15th, 2023 I finally get the surgery I needed back in 2022. My hand is withered away and I can barely open a zip-lock bag.

July 17, 2023 - the occupational therapist says, "Our goal is to save what little functionality you have left. there is no hope to regain the lost muscle."

Healthcare in the US sucks! I've experienced it my entire life.
Until the barrier between for-profit insurance companies and healthcare are burned to the ground, it will only get worse.

Some guy is out there on his yacht drinking mojitos earned from the pain and sufferings of his "insured" policy holders because he refuse them treatment in a timely manner.

Fuck You, Mike Harris!!

Dear Anon Nerve Guy,
I'm sorry that happened to you. Thank you for sharing your tale of woe.
You were doing so well...then the last sentence. Don't do that. Please.
