I also watched an “explanation” on YouTube where the analyst sliced, diced and julienned the audio file and said that the upper registers say “Laurel” but all I could hear through the entire thing was Yanny,

Well, that just ruined my day. The Expanse is one of my favorite current shows. I hope Amazon picks it up - and if it turns out to be Netflix, I’ll just have to finally subscribe . . .

Wait - are those the doctors in costume?

I haven’t replaced my V20 (and I have my repaired old V10 that previously went into the dreaded “boot loop” as backup), because I like being able to replace the battery. That V20 was the last flagship phone I know of that allowed me to replace the battery.

I am deeply disappointed in Joy Reid. As much as I have admired her work at MSNBC, she has done herself serious damage by first denying, and then admitting, the heterosexist blog posts of her past.

“If only I could marry Lois without subjecting her to danger from my enemies! But . . .”

It’s called a “shotgun” approach, and is a perfectly legitimate tactic for naming defendants. Shotgun approaches are also used in the drafting of complaints (adding “causes of action” (federal court “claims”) that rely on some or all of the stated facts to serve as the basis for multiple theories of the case); and it…

I am waiting for G-Mail to allow attachment links to appear at the top of e-mail messages. At my office they have switched us from Outlook (that has this feature) to G-Mail, which does not - though for me, our incredible IT manager has set things up so my G-Mail gets piped into Outlook, just so that I have this…

Having recently lost my spouse, I only wish we had shared passwords for electronic devices - computer, phone and iPad are like bricks. Also, while I am aware of our joint accounts, it has been an adventure ascertaining other accounts for probate.

Ben Carson does not believe in equal rights for everyone. He exists, like other members of the Cabinet, solely for the purpose of crippling or destroying the agency he heads, and harming the people he is supposed to protect. I’d rather he spent time shopping for dining room tables than continuing to do actual harm -…

Not a bad sketch of Ms. Pirro, especially the background. She has certainly fallen far into the abyss. FWIW, you are getting a star . . .

Hillary Clinton is not running again. She has no further reason to pull her punches. I don’t care about the wounded feelings of Trump supporters either.

I insist that Make Pence apologize to the American People, and especially to the People of the State of Indiana, for all the evil things he has done from the time he was in Congress, from the time he was Governor, and now that he is sitting in the Vice Presidential seat for the evil he has done as part of the Trump…

The new Tappan Zee Bridge (another one with a politician name issue) is not a “New York City” bridge. I grant that in the latter part of the 19th Century, New York City expanded into the southern parts of Westchester County, in 1898 those parts of Westchester County and a bit more became part of New York City as the…

As with singular“they,” there is some resistance to gender-neutral “dude,” as “dude” is often implied-as-masculine. On the other hand, the use of a gender-neutral “dude,” and referencing a mixed or even all female group as “you guys” with “guys” being intended in a gender-neutral way, is acceptable in some circles.…

I have maxed out the “see first” option and there are a lot more friends I would like to see there.

I’d like to see the “most recent” posts from my entire “friend list” in order, as the default. There are many friends who never appear in my feed and I only see what is going on with them if I go to their page.

As an actual trans individual, I call B.S.

Since I knew that Latinx was a gender-neutral version of Latino and Latina, I was on the “La-TEEN-ex” pronunciation side ab initio. But I can completely see someone just reading it coming up with “La-TINX.”
