> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > How about “I don’t really see her picture enough, nor care to remember what the real Mrs Vance looks like, so from context this is probably her.” Yeah, Usha Vance does not take up a huge amount of space in my memory. “Indian woman, conventionally attractive, wears her hair long,” is about as much as I remember about how she looks. Putting her next to the AI version makes it clear they’re different people, but absent a reference pic, it’s entirely reasonable to see a picture that matches that description and is labelled “Usha Vance,” and not take the time to cross reference her image to make sure it’s actually her. ---

As a fairly normal man, I just can’t see Ikea as very sexy. You do get to consruct the couch as you prefer, but it just has this Nordic coldness, I don’t speak Swedish, but the Norwegian would be “Hva i helvete?” which is roughly “what the fuck” (“what the hell” but more rude) ---

Wonder if Vance goes into a furniture store and says “I’d like a sexual couch for an occasional piece in my living room”. ---

I heard on the radio at work that Usha and JD just had their fourth child today. I think it’s the first time a VP has become a parent again in the office. None of the VPs in my life have ever done that. ---

Those were the initial reports, but I saw today that it last happened about 150 years ago, without saying who it was. His name is Alec Neel Vance. ---

Found this on [Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-announce-new-baby-name-dramatic-decline-popularity-alec-12217042) > The last vice president to welcome a child while in office was Schuyler Colfax, whose son was born in 1870. Hopefully JD Vance will become as obscure as Schulyer Colfax in 150 years. ---

A “little squirt” from a dingus is what led to this situation in the first place.
