Thank Thomas Jefferson for that brain damage. It has a lot to do with why most of our topsoil is now in the Gulf of Mexico.

I’d be happy, too, if I didn’t have to wear pants.

Right proper shitpost here. Imma start forking ASAP.

Sean Duffy strongly asserted that the tower was fully staffed at the time of the crash. So, we already knew that it definitely short-staffed.

The crying woman is close enough to the design of a monument in the cemetery near my house that I’m pretty sure that he’s stealing her dead baby, which, given Jesus’ close association with Israel, is right on brand.

It’s also a shiny bauble to dangle in front of the demented puppet who’s the face of this regime, in order to keep him distracted.

They still don’t have color photography in Europe?

A timely question! I’ve been listening to Neutral Milk Hotel a lot recently, and for the first time. I’d heard of the band back in the day, but somehow never listened. The Wikipedia entry lists a number of my favorite bands as influenced by them, so I guess it’s no surprise that I enjoy it so much.

Mostly I hear it in the idiom death throes, or in the throes of passion, but occasionally it pops up in other contexts to describe painful spasms, or difficult upheavals, like workers in the throes of economic turmoil, or the throes of childbirth.

*throes

I mean, I understood the comment just fine, but throe is kind of a neat word and it’s a shame not to use it.

There is no better, quicker way to turn a dyed-in-the-wool, rugged-individualist, capitalist American into a raging communist than to mention anything to do with their cars: Gas (should be cheap), highway lanes (no tolls and MOAR!), or parking (free parking was the 3rd commandment).

Having watched Israel consider lying and misinformation a matter of existential necessity for decades, and the U.S. regime lie about everything all the time, I have to disagree. Not that I think Iran is trustworthy, but I know for a fact that whatever the other two say is definitely a lie.

True, but if I had to rank them by trustworthiness…

Unless I missed something, how is it alleged that the wife had anything to do with causing his pneumomia? And where was it proven that it was not caused by SARS-CoV-2? Or even an opportunistic bacterial infection that piggybacked on COVID-19?

Make this your year!

Remember to wear your safety gear! In this case, one of those RSI wrist braces…

That’s the Wheel of Dharma, a symbol from Buddhism, and to its right is the “Happy Human” symbol used by secular humanists.

In a walkable area, you don’t buy for a week at a time, you buy what you need for a meal or two. Popping into the store is a pleasant, 10-minute diversion where you’re likely to see friends and neighbors, not a 2-hour safari overland to the edge of nowhere. It means buying fresh, healthy food, rather than the giant pallets of highly-processed product that I see folks haul out of the CostCo.

Even better would be sitting in a climate-controlled box, with a nice chair, and a good stereo system… at home, relaxing after a nice walk.
