Someone tracked down the things stuck on the fireplace - they’re polystyrene spray painted gold and stuck on with glue.

I don't think it's even that good. A narcissist's idea of what being very rich and powerful looks like?Opti wrote: Thu Jul 17, 2025 3:33 pm
A poor person's idea of what 'classy' looks like. And a 'gold' tie to match.
Re: Trump 2.0
My BiL married an American - took citizenship to be able to vote for Obama.
They're currently out of the States, on a summer break in Europe
I'd just finished listening to a recent 99% Invisible podcast ( The Return of Con Law ), so I messaged them both a link to it, with a quick comment on how it's about how T is attempting to use the Alien Enemies Act, and how he's ignoring court decisions that go against him.
Within a minute, I got a phone call from her, strongly asking me to please not to send them such things* as they are so worried about how it might turn out for people like them (socially concerned, community minded, soft left - at least in US terms).
*I guess, they'd be less concerned if they didn't have to re-enter USA following their travels, but for her at least, the concern was genuine.

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.
