Used to blog about Simpsons; made this account to follow Michigan sports after Twitter died; steadily following more accounts (migrated or not) in other nerdy subjects. Rarely posts, often favs, if I added you to a list it means I like your posts. he/him

The pleasure of the pitch clock is lessened somewhat by 'a quick word' from a company from which I've already heard far too many words.

This must never be a debate. Either Ds prosecute the officials or we will replace them with people who will. We will not be put off and certainly will not take no for an answer.

There's going to be a huge debate about whether to aggressively hold Trump officials and federal agents accountable after this is over.

However, it isn't just a matter of justice being served. The American economy, its diplomacy and national security literally depend on it.

To add to @snowden.st, it's plausible, this was a print heavy society where faith went with reading, but putting a number on it (85%, 90%) is an artifact of 20th century history where they desperately wanted to be a "science".

Almost everyone owned and scribbled in an almanac, for example.

Out of curiosity I looked, Selman is in his early 50s, just about 10 years younger than Jean. So he's taking over at the same age Jean was during Season 27.

It’s as if a terrible burden has been lifted from my shoulders.

My soul is weightless and gliding on the breeze.

It's a risk, but if you can make it on I-10, Alabama would shelter him for the lulz.

Plus the endless suffocating humidity and all the bugs and critters it brings

“Florida is certainly the poorest country that ever two people quarreled for,” one Army surgeon wrote. “It was the most dreary and pandemonium-like region I ever visited, nothing but barren wastes.” An officer summarized it as “swampy, low, excessively hot, sickly and repulsive in all its features.” The future president Zachary Taylor, who commanded U.S. troops there for two years, groused that he wouldn’t trade a square foot of Michigan or Ohio for a square mile of Florida.

I have only ever been through there, and so do not know Louisiana well.

By the state's reputation, however, if I were Brian Kelly I'd be headed for the nearest state line in unmarked transportation.
