"WAIT! WHAT!? I confess I did not even know that you could have "Christianity as Noble Lie” on your modern Bingo Card:"

Lol! Never relinquish your power to be amazed. Defend it doggedly. That's the only way you'll survive the various perspectives on religious conversions.

Normalization of Consumer Sentiment Continues: The Michigan University's Consumer Sentiment index is one our longstanding consumer surveys. The other one is The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Survey. The way the Sentiment has been dragged into the mud of Republican versus Democrat sentiment is not very desirable. Those inferences are most likely incorrect. If they were right, then the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Survey must go to mostly Democrats, for the Confidence has stayed remarkably elevated. I find it hard to believe that the Conference Board has not learnt what a random sample means in its illustrious long history. Maybe it is time for the smart folks at Michigan University to snatch their survey back from this partisan debate if they want to preserve the reputation of their Sentiment Index.

Well duh. Schools teach kids far more about presidents than other politicians.

It is rich to say that the AVP doesn't look cool, and then immediately plop down an image of the Meta Quest, which resembles an inverted, three-week-used high-school juniors jock strap.

Apple headsets don't look cool: "Mostly, I think, because my East African Plains Ape brain codes their facial expressions as inappropriate to their situation…"

Lol!

Up next: Apple vision situation-appropriate face expression sets. Can't imagine that the East African Plains Ape is gonna give that a nod either, and quickly return to munching useful leaves instead.

Memo to Apple. Um, go watch Alien and Aliens. Your device looks like the cranial grabbing beasties that spring out of the eggs. Expect a cartoon depicting that in the next New Yorker.
