I don't want to say you're wrong exactly but I drink a fair amount of Jim Beam.

I do like it that the worst outcomes will be mitigated because the autocrat will be fundamentally incapable of methodically using his godlike powers for calculated evil rather than mostly his own narcissistic bullshit.

Pretty sure Trump would like to start that testing with San Francisco.

The Church used to have more options but they can't burn him at the stake anymore because woke. Which, without reading it, is this guy's problem, which does suggest that Pope Francis could do the funniest thing.

My older cousin Bobby told me I'd be voting Republican by 40. He's dead now. From COVID. I guarantee you he was unvaccinated. No, Bobby, I wasn't and am not. Because I am not that big an asshole.

The NYT arguing that an authoritarian candidate is bad, actually? Someone needs to tell their editorial board to get their shit together.

For context: Arizona has a hair over four million registered voters. So one in five registered voters signed the petition.

Is it? That makes it much easier to talk about in casual conversation with people who don't already know that it's a proof assistant. BITD there was a log-management program: Open Source, worked pretty well. But it was named "Octopussy" so it's not like I could recommend it to clients.

Well, sure, but Catholic doesn't count as Christian to evangelicals. And brown skin doesn't even count as human.

Yes, of course. And I intend to monetize this by, when I get my Kickstarter going, not merely offer plans and bills of materials, but if you go for a higher-tier option, prebuilt, and, if you're fancy, out of luxury materials and I come to your house and build it in your own garden.

Let's also realize that Engoron is probably smart enough to realize that if Trump does become president, there's no way Engoron lives another year. "The judge that convicted me" is a very obvious target for an Official Act.

I really should print up "If you had a dick as small as mine, you'd need a truck like this too" bumper stickers and start slapping them onto vehicles I find at bars.

Eminent domain every property adjacent to Sam Alito's, bulldoze everything there, and set up jumbotrons right up on the property line showing nothing but drag shows 24/7.

Fedex having quite the week. I got something for someone who lives at (my street address + 300). So I walked down there and left it where hopefully they'd see it and porch pirates wouldn't.

I was gonna ask, you need an appointment for that, but, yeah, of course you do, and the next one is probably three months out for existing patients so first you have to find a slap provider who will take you and then see them and then the clock will start so nine months minimum.

You meant "Executive Director" but I read "Erectile Dysfunction." Except I feel like, given the tenor of the commentary, they might be already there with the second.

ColdFusion. This reminds me of every time an ancient celebrity dies and I am briefly startled that they were still alive up till now.

OK, that's pretty cool. Mostly because, yep, a lot of my dad's side of the family lives not far from Columbus, but there were a lot of answers where it was one thing when growing up but then I moved somewhere else and the term was better (like "feeder road" or "Lookie-Lou") so I adopted that one.

Definitely current in St. Louis. I think of that "anymore" as a midwestern construct but maybe just because we didn't do that in Georgia, where I grew up, in Texas, where I went for undergrad, or in New Jersey, which was grad school. Then I moved to St. Louis and there it was.

Specifically, "I ain't goin' nowhere" is a very forceful way of stating "I'm not leaving."

Well, the black version uses "fittin" rather than "fixin" but...you'd piss people off by saying they're the same, but both have many of the same useful qualities. E.g, a way to express "you(pl), including associates not currently present." And I use "Imma" just because it's so convenient.

Am I the only person who sees the Sackler decision as "I know it sounds bad being personally liable, but, guys, you get to start over with your lawyers and when you're back here in a decade the court will be Alito, Thomas, and seven Groypers, and as long as you give Clarence a hit of the goods..." ?

Naga: ultra-neurotic border collie who flies off the handle when something is Not As It Should Be and who has very strong and detailed opinions as to How It Should Be. Which does suggest she'd do fine in the GOP, except she's conscientious.
