I was Matt+numbers back...there. No, not him. No, not her either. Yeah, the one who won't pay their nouns. Otherwise? My bookshelves don't like me any more than my walking shoes, I read cookbooks for fun, and my trivia is more trivial than most.

It's a 'Queens Republican carrying a Democratic party card because his father could help him cut the line to get his snout in the trough' thing. You wouldn't understand.

According to the Russian press, demand for steel dropped 15% in the last ten months; and demand for 'metals' is at the 'lowest level for years'. Even if we don't make that worse to allow for the source, that's really bad in the middle of a war: shells alone are roughly a megaton of steel a year.

Russupblicans have been the only kind seen in the wild since 2016, so why not.

It's been a long time since the Russian army has been able to field a whole company of identical armored vehicles, much less a battalion sized group of them. But, you know, they're building thousands of brand new ones every year: just ask them.

I'm guessing the kids weren't impressed, or weren't the ones making enough of the cereal buying decisions.

How many Republicans are there? Any who don't gloat over it still vote for it.

Apparently, here in the US, the difference between the median and the average household net worth is 32 percentiles (50 versus 82). That's depressingly close to two standard deviations. But naah, the wealthy aren't getting dangerously wealthier.

Remember: it's not cool to conflate reporting with overt Republican propaganda.

Of course Trump loves it. That was the first solution to the Jewish Question.

The GOP has been the Hitler Playbook party since Dubya. Trump's just a bigger boil on the body politic from the same disease.

36: 50th street to 14th street.

Along the route of the NYC march, someone was holding a sign reading 'You know things are bad when New Yorkers are walking this slowly". I think he wins.

Must be fun for the rest of the flag/general officers, trying to decide if their oaths are consistent with simply letting the Republicans replace them until they get the war criminals and traitors they need in command.

A Russupblican calling out the actual Russians for being intellectually dishonest to the point of delusion. My, my.

To be fair: the right was designed by an actual architect, and assembled by skilled model makers, at the behest of someone who wasn't quite a drugged out and senile cretin yet. The left is the flip choice of a drugged out and senile cretin who knows someone with a 3D printer. It's not quite fair.

Naah, two predators and a carrion eater.

The way that's written, it reminds me of what the Americans did with the first atomic bomb (Tall Boy). But I suspect there are previous rear area tests not being noted here.

Blue skying (as it were): but do you suppose the folks in the military who take the money Trump stole to pay them are potentially opening themselves up to prosecution for possession of said stolen funds?

Sergei, I told you not to drive on that twig...

And because the majority of the people with money to fly regularly are Democrats or democratic leaners. Pissing them off is rather short sighted for a lot of airports.

Be fair: some were that distasteful to the original audience, too. Until literary mental masturbation became fashionable, nobody liked Moby Dick.

They've got a decent one in Philly, even if she's only a few hundred years old. Probably started her calls with 'Hello, Central", too.

I just looked at a satellite photo of that tank farm, and discovered that all of the tanks are connected by unburied fuel pipes. It's going to be a while before even the surviving tanks can be used for much; most to all the pipes and valves will have to be replaced.

Be real careful about that, though. Illuminating doves are often just misidentified phoenixes. Scriptoriums harbor the latter at their peril.

Apparently we found three complaints of him cheating his customers in his files; this is just the one everyone has heard of. For certain values of 'everyone', of course.
