Hotblack is spending the year dead for tax purposes . . . and to avoid a pedophile rap.
You know that guy who thinks he's always right and then when he is he never stops telling you, "I told you so?" I hate that guy.

And fear, it seems. I absolutely don't understand the fear. What's to worry about folks who, by and large, just want to be left alone. But then hate, for the being of a woman, or the being of an ethnic group, is nonsensical as well. Hate never makes sense to those privileged enough to not be afraid.

Honestly a bit of prescience I did not expect the remotest chance of coming to pass: .
And then Frankenstein aborts 'the mate' experiment so the Monster kills Frankenstein's betrothed and so Frankenstein chases the Monster to the ends of the earth? Perhaps I'll just dig out the Illustrated Classics comic book.
And that would certainly craft a more interesting metaphor.
Perhaps. It's been over 50 years since I read the classic. I must re-read, or perhap re-view the Michael Sarazen version from the 70s with an ethereal, young Jane Seymour.
The reality show "Opposition" might not be renewed for a second season. The treatment on "Saber Rattling" is being work shopped right now.
Max must not have been paying attention when Joe Lieberman was proffered as a VP candidate. The neoliberal rentiers of the Democratic hegemony have been unmoored from the comprehension of their voting base, at least since McGovern.
Broomhilda, in the mirror reflection, looks as if she's charged with rushing in and catching the tottering bulk when it comes unmoored from its elevator lifts, and it looks like she's the proper gender and muscle mass to be allowed the job.
Laches is a legal concept even my layman's brain can comprehend.
all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe
I see what you mean by blowing up the image. And Xerox's legal department certainly missed out on the possibility of residual royalty, much like the creator of DOS, but not stolen per se. Thank you for this information!

Does Ketamine have a box label?
Indeed there should! I live in a town where F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, and at least there is a placard to commemorate his efforts.
LOL, chances are good it WAS nicotine stained. Mine was, as well as littered with the detritus of Snicker bar wrappers and Coke cans, which was the staple of every late night programmer's diet.
Mmm, I cut my programming teeth on that little marvel (that and the predecessor Apple II). The operating system was stolen from Xerox, I believe, but what is IT if not a bastion of theft and plagiarism? .

Similarly, racism is blight on the human experience because *race* does not exist, and I thank the wisdom of Toni Morrison for knowing this simple truth. So much human hate is wasted on that which does not exist. Transphobia is valuable in that it distracts from racism. .

I see you in easy traveling distance to Lake Geneva. Is there monument to those supposed fabulous dinners there, in 1816?
Movie version, monster burns in the windmill. Book version Frankenstein chases the monster across the ice of the frozen north. The Shelleys, or Byron, had certainly read Dante and knew the plane of Hell with the frozen lake, Cocytus, where the evil souls who betrayed the trust of their fellows fall.
With Lord Byron, during the summer that wasn't after the eruption of Mount Tambora. . The monster of climate change impacted the creation of monsters in the human mind. The irony is succulent.
Also, the playing of god, the assumption that all life is yours to do with as you wish which is a highly narcissistic subset of hubris. In this analog the monster of unchained fascism rips off the head of Peter Theil's bride, JD, but worry not, she comes back in the movie version.
Brilliant
Three and four are steady state facts but have been for some time, so unlikely; one is a wish, but unlikely; three is most likely if you amend it to be a continuing onset of Alzheimer's which is exhibited by wild fabrications put forth as reality, making diagnosis hard since he lies like a rug. .

In Los Angeles, this should be done everywhere. The pics of Americans snatched by ICE Gestapo is being projected on the side of a detention center in Los Angeles. #iceout #losangeles #california
In order to do that, she would need to be able to read the writing on the wall, and that hasn't proven to be her strong suit. I'm not sure she has a strong suit? Pearl-clutching, perhaps? She has the accoutrement.
Will do. Cheers mate, but before I recede into the forever, what does Dom Deluise portend on your personal page?
Ad hominem looks good on you, you should see it from the rear. Cheers mate.
I call it mockery, thank you. You may call it what you will, but I don't know if ad hominem attacks strengthen your argument. Cheers mate. (Oh, and do, please peruse A Modest Proposal in your leisure)
The difference is readily distinguishable.
You will mute or block me shortly, until then, consider this: They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but *they* are generally stupid. What *they* forget is that mockery is the most baller form of satire.

Well, I'll make a modest proposal that you're just not that up on what constitutes satire in the 21st century. And that's OK.
The satire is what I like. The 'acting like a buffoon' is your interpretation, and you're welcome to it.
Me. I like it just fine.

Time for nukes.
It's a republic if we can keep it; come to find out, as a nation of pusillanimous fools, we cannot.

Modified Chinese proverb: when words pass the silicon in your lips, make sure they have touched both the tooth of wisdom and the tooth of truth. PuppyKiller Barbie is a total fail vis-a-vis this proverbial construct.
Spot on, man, that's pretty much textbook fascism and failure to comprehend that should be a disqualifying circumstance for being allowed to report on the regime, much less proffering any opinion that anyone should ever respect or take seriously.
. . .And Trump boots and the Trump dysentery helmet, he's got the full kit! What a fanboy ('cause that's the common thread between Nazis and Trumpies. . .that and being evil out of malicious ignorance).
Mustering is fine, but then you gotta march, otherwise the encampment stagnates and dysentery sets in (an apt analogy for the current hegemony of the Democratic rentiers).
I appreciate it, thanks. Cheers lass.
Middle child did undergrad at University of Manitoba before finishing Masters at other UofM in Minneapolis, I reckon they might take him for his STEM, then he can chain immigrate me. I do a lot of remote work with those southerners in Toronto. Maybe they'd take me, 'cept I'd tease about mild winters
Yes and build more nukes, obviously.
I don't know. The idiom is usually used with crocs as the cryers but there aren't too many crocs in the states unless you go down to Hemingway country in the Keys. I've heard crocs tick-tock, but do they giggle?
After dealing with serious health issues from the last two elected executives, I think asking the voting public to vote for a morbidly obese man is beyond foolish. JB has to drop 50 to prove he's serious. He's got three years to do it, then he can have my vote in a heartbeat.

Oh, it's a laughable cake-walk into Canada (and visa-versa), compared to the debacle on the border of Mexico. I'm in Minnesota. In 20 days I'll enter the BWCA and, paddling the Basswood River, I cross into The Quetico a thousand times and back in a single day; I've done it before. You mean legally?

Sure, he who defines the terms, wins the argument, and if a magic text holds secret definitions to the initiated for *consolidating* and *authoritarianism*, cool let's hear it, but if it's just something Marx pulled from an absinthe binge to write in his memoirs, I couldn't care. Thought experiment.
Xactly
Yeah I'm with you. It seems to me 'consolidating authoritarianism' is a very apt term for a significant chunk of the American experience right now; so much so that I believe this is a thought experiment to see how many fools can be Pied Pipered into stating the contrary or equally specious argument

Indeed, every day I remain in this country of idiots is a day I feel more foolish than the last.
*Uncle Sam* was our first super hero but I think you're onto something with the communal mindset believing "Uncle Sam will fix it," making room for the counter position Reaganism that, "I'm from the Government, I'm here to help," is somehow inherently bad. Both concepts are the posits of fools.
The Scientific Process is either a process (or a philosophy, called The Socratic Method) of theorize, test, evaluate results, adjust theory pursuant to results, rinse repeat. Only fools consider a preference for this method to be a religion akin to believing what ghost friends in the sky might want.
Prior to the steam train revolution, the arm chair *physicists* thought that humans travelling faster than 45mph would suffocate. Of course this did spell doom for the horse carriage industries, but no human died as a result of the locomation, itself.

Word. And, sadly, the primary reason the malignant narcissist lost in 2020 was an utter mishandling of the Covid pandemic. If it takes a major parasitic infestation to save the US from fascism, that's natural consequence to being a nation of imbeciles, but at least not fascist imbeciles. .

It's systemic. Consider DOGE cut programs to control screw worm in Central America so that Mexican beef imports wouldn't bring the parasite to the US. When screw worm infestations begin occurring here, people will ask, "How, did this happen," but all the smart folk will have taken answers to Canada.
