We went to the local bookstore today. The publishing industry must be getting lazy; not only are there fewer books in the store nowadays, but they've got a whole section of books that haven't even been written yet. Completely blank!

Damn it, Janet!

That's not just a coverup. That's criminal conspiracy after the fact.

Maybe the ICE vehicles shouldn't drive toward Minnesota citizens. That should avoid this problem.

I've done that ever since my comments on a concert were overheard and used in the (major) paper's review the next day.

His first was Alan Parsons, but we're a little odd. I'm job hunting at the moment, so I do need to be careful, but we'll likely end up going. I've seen them 6 or 7 times; the first was when I was younger than him (23).

I am hoping so. I'd like to take my son.

I'm looking forward to everything about the new tour except the $750-$1500+ ticket prices (Boston).

Um, if you have no idea what they're talking about with the rest of this, you're not really in a position to judge their knowledge, are you?

This is what is in other areas called "the soft bigotry of low expectations." No one expects the Republicans to act like caring humans, so it's no surprise when they don't and people don't bother talking about it. The same dynamic is repeated all over in other circumstances, esp by the left.

I take your point. In the instances that particularly gall me, it feels like the intent is to make it sound more important and "business-y", whether or not there is a need. But in the end, just my opinion.

I really hate the tendency to verbify nouns, and vice versa. You don't "action" something, you *take action*. It's not an "ask," it's a *request". Why do people feel the need to commit acts of violence upon the language?

Nice try, but no. Until the UK betrayed the local Arab population, the Trans-Jordan area of the mandate was intended as the homeland of the Arab residents of what was to be Israel. Obviously the double-cross (in favor of the Hashemites) changed that plan in 1947.

Jordan.

So let me get this straight:
Blowing up boats having nothing to do with drug smuggling and drug deaths, in the name of fighting drugs is ok, but assassinating the CEO of a company whose decisions resulted in the deaths of many thousands is problematic? Uh, ok...

That is the traditional breakfast for the entire (F-Sun) Thanksgiving weekend.

If it's "my party," I'll cry (if I want to).

I truly do not (and cannot) comprehend a person who is closed to all input - not like "cannot see or hear," but "refuses to take anything in." They're fully in output-mode only, and eventually that teapot runs dry, no matter how full it may have been at one point.

Buy food, pay mortgage, etc. But with less stress.
Or, as they say, "chop wood, carry water."

I roast the dark meat separately in a Dutch oven with dried fruits and Belgian ale. I can make stock from the bones, and make lots of gravy long before the first guest arrives.

I de-bone the turkey before roasting. I take the boneless breast and stuff and roast that, allowing me to make simple cuts straight through and serving stuffing and meat in one slice.

And creating a nuisance.

Badgers? We don' need no steenking badgers!

"Holy sextuplets!" I exclaimed as I opened the door. I never expected six uniform police officers to turn up at my door.

If antizionism were a critique rather than a hatred, there would be no reason to shame, exclude, or pathologize "Zionists." The very figure of the sinister "Zionist" -- with their supposedly manipulative "hasbara" -- would simply vanish. What would remain is ordinary disagreement among people with different political views. But that is precisely what does not exist today, either in academia or in the public sphere. - Adam Louis-Klein

He's got a point. I'm a bit tired of being asked to apologize for wanting to exist in peace and safety.

I am reminded of HR Pufnstuf, and the Magic Mushrooms 🍄, because I am old. I didn't understand it at the time, because I was young. Can I trade?
