And it's a first time Bill Gates had a thought that he would better be dead by now.
weird design for steve jobs.. without context it looks like the depiction of some spiritual leader (which maybe is a bit funny given the early apple fanbase). I get he was a bit of a hippie, but that's not exactly his claim-to-fame > His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection i dont associate "reflection" with him. not to disparage him in the slightest, but its just not in the top ten of…
That is funny, although nothing will ever top Deborah Feingold's 1985 photoshoot where he lies on his desk and flirts with the camera
are these meant for regular circulation or are these "collection items"? (Im not from the US, so Im not aware of local specifics)
If they're meant for regular circulation, the program is being led by a buffoon. $1 coins have failed to circulate every time they've been introduced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_B._Anthony_dollar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea_dollar Dollars are worth a lot less now than they were. If vending machines start charging integer numbers of dollars, maybe dollar coins will catch on.
Concurrent dismay and delight.

just out of pure curiosity.. what's the context of this? He wrote a poem.. to email to himself? and.. how did he get access to his private emails?
I can't think of any other example of people writing and mailing poems to themselves

What I wonder is, if ever the Trump lineage of emperors should come to an end, (God forbid, all hail Trump and all that) and we have a Republic again, could staff be prosecuted for breaking Federal law during this term?
Of course, many people get away with stuff because the decision to prosecute and the effort needed is not universal. And new presidents have often pardoned previous administration's criminals.
Thing is though, for people like e.g. the national guard that is illegallly being deployed to bring peace to toad-infested Portland it's either follow orders or get fired and lose their income, benefits, and pension - at least temporarily, but they'll need to file a long and expensive civil suit under a hopefully better future administration to get their back payment and / or job/honor reinstated. But they don't have the financial reserves or plan B to do so, thanks to decades of reducing the population's spending power, using pverty as a means to control people.
