  - Doesn't he have something else to do? -- nm - loosilu May 27, 16:05 1
    - If I was being honest, I’d rather him chasing his tail with stuff like this than knuckle down and actually DO something horrible. -- nm - Qale May 27, 16:17
  - shit -- nm - mud May 27, 16:00
- There’s not really much he can do -- nm - spamlet May 27, 15:53 7
  - Hee will probably steer into the curve and formalize that his tweets are official presidential statements and therefore can not be altered. - Spawn May 27, 16:14 4
    - More likely my guess is he’ll try and argue that the exercise of editorial discretion in regards to his tweets removes any safe harbor -- (edited) - znufrii May 27, 16:21 3
      - Right he can try the Sec 230 bs that the far right has been crying about but it’s a non-starter. - spamlet May 27, 16:31 2

      - I followed her before this and she's great. The "lady scientist" and "bird pervert" things are from weird people complaining about her research. nm - ralph wiggum May 27, 16:07 1
        
        Ah, excellent. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 16:11
Huh. I may actually have to go into the office tomorrow. - pmb May 27, 14:57

- Alan Parsons - Sirius (the Bulls introductions song). -- nm - pmb May 27, 14:55 11
  - That is strong. On at least half of my airline flights I have listened to Streets on take off. Would be fun to cue it up for lift off. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 14:59 3
    - I listened to them play it on the rooftop for the video. I was driving in DTLA, stopped at a light when I heard them and knew it was U2. I didn't - jnine May 27, 15:16 1

Do they get to pick new music for Saturday? I'll tosh out Whalers On The Moon. -- nm - VMan May 27, 14:53
It cracks me up that people think we are going back to the office July 15. I mean, maybe in other cities, but there is no way they are forcing NYers - JackDawson May 27, 14:42 2
- We aren’t as a company ( nation wide) I thought maybe cause people would complain - Epiphany May 27, 14:44 1

  - It’s Meg. The mission is completed quickly or she completes her mission. -- nm - Will Hunting May 27, 14:56
  - Kaiser's pretty good in that regard. The basics - CBC, Protime and a few others come through the same day. Others might take one or two days more. - Meg May 27, 14:54
  - I'm 97% sure "blood work" and "results" are euphemisms for "clandestine assassination" and "payment". - Roger More May 27, 14:54 1
    - Hey, that visit cost me $25 - I expect my money's worth. -- nm - Meg May 27, 15:52

- Unmotivated -- nm - Dano May 27, 15:06
- Food truck forgot my part of the order for supper,but a quick FB message and I got comp'ed a free dozen wings and the missing item the next time I go, so not bad overall. -- nm* - Shaun May 27, 15:02
- I'm doing well so far, thankfully. How are you and Kim? -- nm - Krusty May 27, 14:46 1

  - That's not to say I didn't like it, just liked the others more. -- nm - Todd Manning May 27, 14:12
  - 5 was released in 2016. -- nm - Todd Manning May 27, 14:05 1
    - I did not see 4 or 5 on the big screen. Might be part of why I rank them down. - Spawn May 27, 15:02
