Good for him if he's being genuine, but still... [BLEEP] him.

It really is an iconic picture. Even the ones who hate him have to admire the tableau of an historic moment. 

How many are thinking, “Damn, I wish my candidate was in that picture.”?

It’s really not that big of a deal.  Joe does that pose once or twice weekly after he successfully [BLEEP] on the toilet instead of in his pants.

Interesting stuff about private equity group Blackstone acquiring Ancestry.com, along with all the DNA information they have acquired.  But I would point out, Blackstone acquired Ancestry back in 2020.  This is not new.  And I would also point out, Ancestry was previously owned by a different private equity group, and your DNA data could have been misused by them as well, or by anyone else who had access to your DNA data.  If Blackstone was buying Ancestry to get the DNA data, it's not necessary for them to buy the company.  They could have just paid someone to leak it to them.  Or they could have hacked into it.  So probably the only reason they bought Ancestry was the reason any private equity group buys any company, and that is, to own a profit-making business.  Private equity groups buy businesses, dress them up, reorganize them, and re-sell them at a profit.  Usually a private equity group holds a business for 5-7 years at the most.  

But this is an interesting subject, so I'd be happy if you give me a differing opinion.  I just don't see what's so unusual or notable about Blackstone buying Ancestry.

No, I agree with you on the Ancestry thing. It is pretty creepy how it works. I did it years ago and they were able to find images of my grandmother and great, great grandfather that my grandmother didn't even know existed.

The idea of it being sold for profit is common sense. As many companies come and go or they are sold and expand into a new brand, etc.

Our cellphone and cellphone provider's actually have the most information on us, as far as views, likes, hobbies and picking up on our private conversations.

Our data is sold to advertiser's daily and then we receive neat little packages here and there in subtle or not so subtle ways. Sometimes I feel like these damn devices are capable of reading my mind or it's ability to predict my next move is on par with scientist's running lab rats in a maze.

To the bolded... ain't that the truth.  I get ads for things I've spoken about sometimes (and not previously searched for online).  I've reviewed all my settings, even deleted the facebook app for a while suspecting it had something to do with it, and still saw it happen occasionally but more frequently than to be chalked up as mere coincidence.

Go to the Victoria's Secret website, surf around looking at all the supermodels in lingerie, and I guarantee that in the future you will get lots of Victoria's Secret ads with supermodels wearing lingerie.  It worked for me.

George Orwell nailed it in his book 1984 didn't he ... 

on an interesting side note

By a vote of 6-3, the justices overruled their landmark 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which gave rise to the doctrine known as the Chevron doctrine. Under that doctrine, if Congress has not directly addressed the question at the center of a dispute, a court was required to uphold the agency’s interpretation of the statute as long as it was reasonable. But in a 35-page ruling by Chief Justice John Roberts, the justices rejected that doctrine, calling it “fundamentally misguided.”

ISIS are Sunni, Wahabbi, atavists.  Hamas started as a Sunni modernist movement (they were the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood) but now they get almost all of their support from Iran which is Shia modernist.

Point is they are natural enemies.

If underground housing was actually cheaper, everyone would be doing it.
Maybe one day it will be cheaper, All depends on technology.

Underground housing is not a new concept.  Having grown up in southeastern Ohio it was a common practice of cutting into a hillside with the entire house underground with the exception of the front entrance.  Often the entire entryway was a glass front to add light to the living and dining area.  This was a common practice in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
