But still, lol.

One done research in the VaticanLibrary. It’s been a couple of decades, but from what I remember about getting in and out, this is a wonderful kindness that, from a practical standpoint, reduces hassle for everyone, not just devout Muslims (thinking Security checkpoints).

The amount of expensive cosplaying the members of this regime engage in is just kind of insane!

πŸ‘As an educator well-trained in pedagogy (incl. research on accommodations), & as an AuDHD person who did not have extra time (grateful my child did), I say sheβ€˜s full of shit. But if she wants to deny accommodations, she’ll need to deny the accommodation of glasses to those w/vision problems.

I’m with you. I still get unnerved by large gatherings of noisy avians. I remember watching it on TV with my Mom who was surprised by how much it freaked me out (she was uncertain about me watching itβ€”but I was stupidly brave And could tell she didn’t want to watch it alone, lmao).

Jaws, but I may have seen The Birds on tv before that. And I can’t remember whether I saw Jaws second run on TV or on HBO. Despite growing up in FL and swimming at shark capitol New Smyrna Beach, I think The Birds might edge out Jaws. Not sure.πŸ€”

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after 'discussion with King' He has been under increasing pressure for his links with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with calls for the Palace to take action.

The ghost of Epstein just won’t stay quiet. Makes you wonder whether someone knows what’s in those files that little Mikey Johnson is trying to keep locked up.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. That is a gorgeous shot though.

Still remember first dig I was on trying to see the changes in soil color and sure that the person explaining them was smoking crack.

I mean, if we are going to doing it around I think that Cuomo is maleducato (not sure if that gets used here like it does in Rome, but if the shoe fits, πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ).

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Resisting the urge to start blogging. Really resisting the urge to comment on the purpose and function of commemorative arches in imperial Rome/antiquity and their subsequent reception and use throughout the ages. Resisting easier when I think about getting my scholarship scraped for crap AI.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:
