The monkeys were named after the monks, because of the tonsure, evidently. (But I thought they were just highly caffeinated, at first. )

There is absolutely a crypt gift shop. I bought a backpack.

Touring the crypt of the Hapsburgs and our friend has on squeaky shoes, which is only a little less embarrassing than me giggling about it.

Cafe Central, where Wally and Judith realize they are being followed in Anima Rising. I wrote about it, but today a bunch of us got to go there. So exciting.

A.I. stuff is happening so fast I can't even research a foreboding dystopian story.

In addition to being a talented artist, Michele is an extraordinary squirrelographer.

Agree, but with one corollary: Attendance is mandatory but no squaring off against other liberals until next year. We need to stand united, and win or lose, you have to show you share a common goal to stop this administration’s march into authoritarianism.

Some Democrats are already doing this, but I think all of them should treat No Kings protests as mid-term mandatory attendance events, like the local fish fry or county fair. Push back on the sweaty Republican attempts to make them seem scary.

I am not a religious fellow, but that sounds to me like an abomination before the Lord.

DON'T buy into #MikeJohnson's pathetic excuse for not swearing in duly-elected #AdelitaGrijalva.

Elected official CAN be sworn in during a government shutdown.

Want some precedent?

The full House was sworn in during a government shutdown when a new Congress started in January 2019.
#EpsteinFiles

Swearing-in ceremonies are not halted by a shutdown, because they are constitutional or statutory duties, not discretionary spending activities.

A government shutdown affects agencies and programs that rely on annual appropriations, but Congress itself and the offices of elected officials (federal, state, or local) usually remain operational for essential and constitutional functions.

For example:

Members of Congress can still take the oath of office even if parts of the federal government are closed. Congressional operations are funded separately under permanent appropriations.

Presidents are sworn in on January 20th regardless of any shutdown. The inauguration is a constitutional event that cannot be postponed by funding gaps.

State and local officials are likewise sworn in per their state constitutions or laws — those events are governed by state authority, not federal funding.

I think it's just really old and that part hasn't been restored.

The texture of pomegranate seeds has never improved any dish. The flavor, yes. The color, yes. But the seeds are for the birds.

Thank you for all the good wishes, but I was just trying to figure out how to make scenery pictures funny. We didn't really have a ceremony.

I realize that, but right now the discussion on the table is about Medicaid cuts and ACA subsidies.

Emergency physician here.
Can confirm. Not just treat in the emergency department, but admit, operate, etc if necessary to stabilize. So hospitals and physicians would absorb a lot if the care were not compensated.
