I am reasonably sure I have spent more time in churches being Christian and doing Christian ‘stuff’ out of church in my life than he or his father have and I lapsed 30+ years ago.

When the history of this is written I suspect a chunk of it will be a bunch of people who never grew up after school and never got over people disliking them using certain words.

Given one of the insults that side hurls a lot back on 'the other place' was 'fat' - I do find it a bit ironic too.

Started watching The Rainmaker.

Set in South Carolina. Filmed in Dublin and Wexford.

The fake sun filter is working hard.

I think you should, if you can stomach it, rewatch Biden, Harris and Waltz’s debates & watch them trip over trying to remember data over what the other guy(s) did.

Even Jeffries a week or so ago was doing data. They only just switched to more direct points.

Repeating stats is a thing Democrats do.

Probably and when it falls apart we’ll have to pretend it hasn’t.

We use that for some of the loyalty schemes so I have to type it in a lot which helps.

London with a Pocket A to Z

I feel attacked.

Yes. Never did cope when they turned WX into 4….

That one. Our next one and my best mate’s phone number are lodged in there.

Was wondering that myself.

Also soldiers with vague or poor terms of engagement on deployment are being put into an impossible situation.

Nobody joined the National Guard to pick up litter and support fake cops either but here we are.

Is that meant to mean anything in particular in this context?

Pencil. With a pencil.

Yarvin really doesn’t get what a weapon can be in the right hands.

Then I’m confused (I think) because what has been done to Gaza clearly looks like they want the population never to return and the society scattered?

That fits Lemkin’s definition doesn’t it?

What part of Lemkin’s definitions are you disagreeing with?

He covers that IMO.

The attempt to essentially eliminate the society, economy and any trace of what would be a nation and society surely has to play.

wow guys I am starting to think tariffs are not useful tools to force down China's trade surplus

As Lemkin pointed out when he coined the phrase. It’s not ONLY about the numbers killed is it.

Was ‘liberal’ ever a particularly good label for the Democratic Party?

Conservative stopped applying to the GOP some time back too :(

Ok then. 🙄

How long did the Korean War last in MASH?

Write a book they said. Self publish they said. It’ll be fun they said.

I have 50 reviews for my first one after literally years but I will admit ‘real’ life keeps getting in the way.

‘The Mob’

Uh huh. How about covering news in an impartial manner as befits national networks?

I was about 14. At school. We went on to laugh at the twee nature of the US version.

Now remember watching it when it came out when you were a teenager and ask what impact that had on you.

There might be rural areas that could feed themselves for a bit but they still have to fuel and equipment and supplies from somewhere at that is also somewhere with a port.

It’s entirely possible Monday might also be ribs. He says looking at the ribs he is preparing.

My plan for the week.
