Funny isn't it, how those people who're so in favor of unrestricted gun ownership are also in favor of the death penalty and are also dead-set against termination of an unwanted/nonviable pregnancy, calling themselves "Pro-Life".

It doesn't surprise me he felt entitled to act like a twit. The Elongated Muskrat connection is indeed disturbing, if true. This is more than a case of "Wealth Gone Wild", it's how Germany got fascism.

I read now that Monkfish is a thing. As they are solitary bottom dwellers I have to ask : do we really want to make these a fad ?

Ah but the Prezzydential logick is hard to beat -- It's Uhmerkin to be Jesusy. If you don't Lubs you some Jebus you must be Aunti-Merkin. If you're Anti-Merkin yer wif da terrists. If yer Wif da terrists you have to be shot, or jailed, or shot and then jailed. See how easy it is ?

Can't see a woman who isn't wearing five yards of sack cloth and being escorted by a male relative -- it might cause impure thoughts. What utter bollocks.

Yes, it was. However, timeline wise it seems to occur before the Nostromo finds the wrecked ship.

Perhaps your local office supply store might have something that could be used. I used to keep my Cheez-Its in my desk drawer, but during working hours they would be on my desk so anyone interested could come grab some.

My right ankle and knee are full on lit up with pain. Only paracetamol for pain and I don't want to turn myself autistic. Perhaps I can risk it if Dr Orangeface, Dr Brainworms and Dr Pleasegoback to Oz turn out to be incorrect.

done away with by republicans. So, we find ourselves in a situation where a handful of billionaires control what about 60% of Americans see on their TVs. It's what happens when you allow monopolies in TV.

They back Donald Trump to the fullest. (it's about the culture war with them.) Given their control of ABC affiliates in major markets, they de facto control if the show will be on local screens. In previous years this would not be as possible due to FCC regulation, but those rules have largely been

The system is rather archaic. The network head office telecasts the show to all the local affiliate stations, which are owned by different companies. One of the major but nearly invisible to the general public TV station owners is Sinclair broadcast Group. Sinclair are very politically conservative

The Pentagon's Attack on Free Speech Doesn't Have To Work When it comes to things the government can’t do without violating the First Amendment, imposing prior restraints on what the media can report is near the top of the list, absent a compelling rationale...

The Pentagon Papers case gives us important insight into why having a free press matters so much. This week has taught us that we have a role to play in protecting the 1st Amendment, & (to quote a woman who would have made a great president), when we fight, we win. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If I bumped into you on the street, the first thing I'd say is "Sorry, wasn't' minding my step." The second would be "Hey, aren't you Emma Thorne ? I see you on Youtube! " But then you'd probably wonder aloud how come I'm in Britain when I'm a dead broke unemployed colonial from the SW USA. :-)

I don't know much of UK politics, but my general principle is to support the person I really want in the office but to vote for someone who is close to what I want even if they aren't perfect. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Of course, I don't know if Starmer is any kind of good.

Many Americans are of the opinion that Brits have bad teeth, but I assure you, yours are great, especially compared to mine. It's mostly due to poor dental hygiene on my part.

If you are unfamiliar with farming, that is several million dollars worth of tomatoes rotting in the field, and all the farmer will be able to do is plow it all under. MAGA? got any retort ? I'll wait for the crickets over here.
