I’m sure there’s a term for this but I can’t think of it. Simultaneously offering “warmest sympathy” for a “horrible massacre”, also “terror attacks” and a “horrible event” while believing it’s not white nationalism that’s the problem, it’s just some crazy people. Those two things don’t jibe. It’s the wrong analogy, but Hitler was just some crazy person, too. Somehow, that didn’t minimize the problem. And if you’re not part of the solution, here, you are definitely part of the problem. https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/15/politics/white-house-new-zealand-mosque-attacks/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/15/politics/white-house-new-zealand-mosque-attacks/index.html?r=https://www.google.com/

This is a sfinge. Deep fried, airy, crispy outside dough with ricotta and candied citrus peel. In this case with sprinkles and a cherry on top. Also called zeppole in various incarnations. Made specifically for St. Joseph’s Day, which is March 19th. This is from a local, family owned, old school Italian bakery. Happy St. Joseph’s Day!

This is my favorite relatively recent photo of me and my dad. It's at Rocky Mountain National Park, somewhere above 11,000 feet. It was windy, obs. My dad was as photo averse as most of us, so I don't have a lot of pics of him, and fewer with him, but I have a very few from places we went hiking together. 💔😢

He doesn’t really get anything, does he? It’s too hard to understand so let’s just oversimplify and thus mislead. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/12/trump-says-planes-too-complex-after-crash-of-boeing-jet-in-ethiopia.html https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/12/trump-says-planes-too-complex-after-crash-of-boeing-jet-in-ethiopia.html

So, yeah. The interview part of this article is reasonable and makes sense. My reactions to the main story went from how could anyone be this stupid to duh, obvious how. The stupid about semantics over “robot” versus “secure video technology” versus FaceTime or whatever is that when the family says they got talked at by a robot they are telling you something . Iow, “robot” contains all the alienation and lack of compassion they felt because people just didn’t think before they did this. https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/3/11/18256929/telepresence-robot-hospitals-patient-information-medical-news-ethics-kaiser https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/3/11/18256929/telepresence-robot-hospitals-patient-information-medical-news-ethics-kaiser
