In the end is it just an aging Boomer thing?

Late to the party.

Also, no, planting stories to make people on the other side look mentally unstable is not SOP for lawyers.

Ah, DT offering to buy Greenland to get pesky ‘lil Denmark from pushing back against Putin and the PRC. I can certainly see that.

Neither explains why the self-determination of the people who live in Greenland ought to be ignored nor in any way supports throwing a hissy-fit when Denmark correctly cites the former as powerful cause to say no way.

Well, I for one have been without a car going on 14 years now and do not have Uber or Lyft accounts. CTA, bike and my shoes work fine.

If British security think Royals flying commercial can be done without risk, I am all for it.

Lot of folks were saying the same after NYC dropped stop and frisk yet crime rates just keep tanking in that city. 

A friend works with A-list celebrities. One day after a meeting he decided to walk to get frozen yogurt with one of them. Just a casual stroll a couple blocks away. A group of kids started following them that grew and grew to be about 30 people, just staring at them, taking photos. Not the end of the world, but I’m…

Is that any different from anywhere else a celebrity goes?  Based on gossip photos on Jezebel this does not seem to stop celebrities from going to the gym, getting coffee, walking around Coachella, etc. 

Yes of course safest as far as accidents and all. But then walking in downtown Stockholm in the 1980s was considered rather safe until someone came up behind the Swedish Prime Minister and killed him and injured his wife.

Unless the paparazzi have first class tickets, TSA would arrest them following celebrities into the airport.

F*ck the rest of them though, they could easily fly first class and it would be fine.

As I note above, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren both have flown coach this election period.

(do you think solar panels and the new windmills are made without some form of climate warming material?)

Honestly, I would not. Commercial coach is fine.  Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have both been photographed taking coach the last few months btw.

still believe that he lost interest in the series, or gave up the will to continue it, or was staggered by it’s popularity because now it’s a goddamn chore, by book 4.

so he can stay at home and finish the story?

Writing a decent book is time consuming, difficult and lonely work.

Still remember how he promised to focus on the books time after time only to announce this or that spin-off/prequel/new project and then jet set to various countries for minor cons.
