We haven’t yet heard from everyone. The NY Times Editorial Board could call for his resignation. And President Biden could give Andrew Cuomo a phone call. Stay tuned. The next few hours are crucial. 

1500 people died yesterday. The worst is behind us, but this, apparently is what passes for acceptable in the USA.

Does this really require a reply? Fine. 30 years ago, Republicans didn't normally call for the killing of Democrats. That was fringe stuff, found in the pages of The Turner Diaries (published 1978). Nowadays it is common to not only see Republican voters call for the killing of Democrats, but it is common for…

“alt-right” should be striken from news editors’ guides. It’s right wing and what was fringe or alternative in the 1990s is mainstream now.

ITV never should have hired him after his disastrous stint in America. But I don’t believe everything Markle says either. Shades of gray, folks.

A note on the first paragraph. Thomas was confirmed in October, shortly after Magic told the world he was HIV positive. As an 18 year-old, big events get seared on the brain. So it was weeks after his confirmation, not months.

Part of the reason this is big news is because the American entertainment news and mainstream news media continue to treat it as big news. CBS paid millions for this interview. We’re giving two supporting characters in the British Monarchy way more attention than the historical record has handled others outside the…

I meant network time, but actually that is linked to a nuclear clock. The US Navy atomic clock in Colorado, in fact. The nuclear part is the slow decay of a particular isotope, I believe. You can still call 202-762-1401 and get an automated readout of the same time you see on any network connected phone, game console,…

We New Yonkers need to march on Albany this weekend. Shut up about Trump. Shut up about higher or lower thresholds for Republicans. This is just about Cuomo. We must demand that Cuomo resign. We must march. Get the buses.

I’m pretty sure that all reputable hospitals have a rule that once you scrub in, you cannot use your personal phone or conduct any business not related to the surgery at hand. You can play music in your OR. That’s about it. This is so arrogant. It also put the patient’s privacy at risk. Now this doctor is going to…

Thank You, Ms. Song. I have been yelling “noooooo!” to this news all week and most Android fanboys think I’m nuts. But ask anyone who owns a Galaxy watch, and they will admit that Tizen is more stable. stays connected, is lightweight, performs a lot better, and arguably looks a lot better. Don’t break what works so…

This is a ridiculous idea. Think of colossal underwater projects over the decades. Boston’s big dig (specifically the Ted Williams tunnel). The Channel Tunnel. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Those cost billions. This would cost so much more. If if the idea of an underground roundabout is appealing, one should check…

It took just days for Texans to embrace socialism and debt forgiveness.  Progress.

Auto engine start/stop. First, it’s too little too late in the late combustion engine era. And second, it is very annoying. I intentionally got a car in 2019 that didn’t have that feature.

Sadly Cruz will be reelected in November 2024.

I watched Ghost last weekend for the first time in at least 25 years. Terrible film. I focused on Goldberg’s performance and I am rather surprised she won the Oscar for that. Golden Globes Comedy category I can see. But she won a bloody Oscar. That had to be a great lobbying campaign. She beat Lorraine Bracco and…

I wonder if other lawmakers can join this suit, or if Senators and Representatives can file a class action suit?

The composer is not Danny Elfman. It's the great Eliot Goldenthal, husband of Julie Taymor, and I really think AV Club needs to do a retrospective of his film credits.

My last combustion engine is the one that powers my current car. It's a 2.3 Ecoboost. And that's a fine motor to end an era on. By the spring of 2029 I will have an EV, whether my apartment building will have a charger or not.

He doesn’t deserve to be idolized. He’s window dressing. He’s PR. And more important, he never called out Trump’s lies while people died. He’s not a profile in courage. He's a profile in career preservation. He just danced and dodged so he could outlast Trump and finish his career under a president who was competent. …
