When your only tool is a hammer... Trump says US to scale back South Korea military drills after it stayed out of Iran war Nothing better illustrates how utterly ineffective stinky is at diplomacy. Or building a war alliance for that matter. Crackpot.

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
I did go to see it on Tuesday and it certainly is epic and long winded. Funny thing is though, I only empathized with one character in the movie. There were a lot of talented actors, but I didn't really feel much of anything. I've had a similar experiences with his other films. In contrast, I empathized with the cast in Project Hail Mary.

Perhaps the position should be replaced with an AI chatbot? I'm sure it would be about as effective in interpreting stinky's glossolalia?

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition
For me, the biggest benefit of EE is that it is 64 bit. The old 32-bit engine is getting a bit long in the tooth and requires a client add-on to run animations properly. With 64 bit, it seems to be able to handle the modern graphics cards better. Recently they've been working on a 64-bit port of the Toolset, which has a few bugs that they're working to patch. The Toolset port pushed it over the top for me.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Enough episodes for syndication
I re-upped the Apple TV stream so I could watch MLS games. There's still some decent shows I didn't pay attention to earlier, including The Crowded Room and Surface. The one I'm really starting to enjoy though is Prime Target, which is an espionage caper involving some crack number theory mathematicians, an a NSA agent, and a shadowy group up to (of course) no good. I'm also watching the third season of Silo, which has held up quite well.

Q. How many Trump staffers does it take to change a light bulb? A. All of them. As he holds the bulb in the socket, they heap praise so the world will keep spinning around him.

Yeah, it's not really legal contempt of Congress unless 60 senators vote in favor, which isn't going to happen. But yes the Department of Clown Justice can still pull out the trick flowers and hose him down.

It doesn't matter if it makes sense to me; it only has to make sense to the conspiracy nuts and their associated political pundits. From that perspective, it's a CYA action on Dr. Fauci's part, based on a lawyer's advice. I don't believe that Dr. Fauci is in any way criminally liable, and it's shameful behavior for our government to treat him this way after decades of service to the country. Break out the shame bell...

My understanding is that his attorneys believed Dr. Paul was hoping to trap Dr. Fauci by causing him to speak a falsehood while under oath. (See, for example, Clinton's impeachment over him stating he did not have sexual relations.) That would be a prosecutable offence, since his pardon only covered a fixed period. By taking the fifth, Dr. Fauci escapes that fate. It's all political gamesmanship, and rather a waste of the government's time.
