Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292

I have two theories. Section 31 was terrible at recruiting covert ops and we’ve seen their blundering over and over again on the small screen. Or, they were very good at covert ops and we’ve only seen the few times they misjudged the morality of their operatives.

I’m a carpenter. If I do my job well, you won’t know I was there at all.

Not going to read the article. Plunger. Use a plunger. Sink, tub, toilet, etc. For the sink and tub, use the classic plunger and be sure to cover the overflow hole, otherwise you’ll just be sucking air in and out and not getting pressure to the clog. For a toilet, use the plunger that has the extra flange out the bottom. If you own 2 plungers, you don’t have to worry about cross contamination.

What a wimp.

Wasn’t the genome sequencing in 2010 to determine just how the hell he wasn’t suffering from his epic substance abuse? So that we could get some of that Ozzy sauce and party til we drop, of course. Did Keith Richards ever do the same?

From wiki: “The lake was renamed from its traditional Mono name by American settlers after an incident on September 23, 1871, in which a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City, Nevada, and took refuge near the lake. They were pursued by a posse, and after it caught up to the convicts, a shootout followed, in which a number of both posse members and convicts were killed or wounded. The remaining convicts who survived initially escaped but were eventually captured to be taken back to prison. They were lynched instead.”

Wah wah (muted trumpet noise, emphasis mine)

I like to look up sources when quotes are embedded in a pic, since they are more easily spread without due diligence. The origin of this quote, from Wikipedia:

"Economics Cannot be Separated from Politics" speech to the ministerial meeting of the Inter-American Economic and Social Council (CIES), in Punta del Este, Uruguay (8 August 1961)

Just chiming in to say that it’s cool you keep coming back. You had a 3 star a few days ago, then 3 Xs. I’ve enjoyed this word game and try to post it daily. I’m not great at it. Procrastitron and GreenPlasticSushiGrass are consistently much better than I am, but I enjoy it just the same.

LAME!

The Orville is great!

Young Pre-diabetes. Young Crippling Anxiety. Young Fatty Liver. Young Sexless Marriage. Young Survivors Guilt.

I think I prefer the Wu-Tang name generator.

She just talked with Adam on the Factually podcast this past week, FYI.

You can cut a tin can with it, but you wouldn’t WANT TO!

There’s no wrong time to cancel Paramount+. Even when they had all the Trek content, the UI was dog shit so you could barely play what you wanted to watch anyway. And now that they’ve made the decision to split their IP, ugh.

I watched the CBS morning show for years. Amongst the morning news, I felt it was the best programming: had long-form investigative reporting, balanced viewpoints, etc. Then they added a shopping segment. Okay, gotta pay the bills. Then they started doing more pop-culture bits, even prompting Nora to ask, in the middle of her prompter read, “is this news?” Then they started to carve out time for at least 1 segment a week for Moriarty to interview a billionaire about their passion projects. And so on. The last straw for me was normalizing Trump’s shtick a second time.

Now the only news I watch is the Weather Channel.

Maybe to the tune of Throw That Beat.

I’ll hang on to 10 as long as they’ll let me, but I am never going to 11. Then it’ll be a distro for dis bro.

Sorry.
