I love my furious, constipated mole son
Chris B (@cjosephbea.bsky.social)
two strange dreams: In the 1st, St John's College added an AA booklet to the senior seminar list and an annoying classmate was being pedantic and refused to accept that alcoholism existed In the 2nd, I adopted an anthropomorphic infant mole as my son and he kept having GI issues and getting angry

By the way, I’m including the troops that pulled the trigger here in this. You had an obvious civilian target that had violated no orders (eg to stop), and instead unilaterally hit it with a hellfire. That is a violation of the LOAC. The order to fire was not lawful.

Look, the next Democratic president needs to put everybody involved, from Trump all the way down, on trial for murder. They blew up 11 civilians in broad daylight without statutory authorization.

totally agree, but I also think there are a lot of other movie franchises that would also be vasly improved if you added Merry or Pippin with a gun

ok, but how are people supposed to learn these things, if they can't type a question into something and find an answer (and search engines don't work, and books don't exist, and research librarians aren't a thing, and there are no documentaries about World War 2, and they don't have a boomer dad...)

there are many problems in the world, and relatively few of them are solved by making and eating a giant club sandwich and drinking two or more beers but I'm willing to take the risk, to push the envelope, and maybe, just maybe... start to make things better

here's the truth- the Sirens episode of Aqua Teen is more deeply imprinted on me than the actual Sirens scene in O Brother, and that's never going to change apologies to Carl and John Kruk

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) isn't my favorite Coen Brothers movie, maybe just barely top 10, but that's a function of how much I love their movies. Terrific picture.

I'm a serious 0 RB sicko, when circumstances allow, so probably not the best person to advise on this. That said, I think Saquon and McCaffrey both have age/mileage concerns this season, so Gibbs and Bijan feel like the only guys I'd take that early- and I just think the Lions O has way more upside
Chris B (@cjosephbea.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm going Chase or Jefferson at the 1.03 if either is available then, I think. If I had to pick an RB that high, I'm probably going Gibbs, especially in full PPR
