I'm reminded of the possible retort Pope Francis had when JD Vance said he shouldn't talk about science: "That's DOCTOR Pope to you, Vanny, I've got a couple of PhD's as well as this big hat!"

That'd make Pertwee spit out his tea! (For the non-Whovians here (did you get lost on your way rlsewhere?), when the producers hired John Pertwee, they wanted him to do the high-pitched semi-jibbering voice of his character ftom Carry On. Obviously, he refused. (That fake voice was a vocal strain))

His handlers act as if we haven't already figured out which playbook they're copying from. That, or they've already written off the 70% that know what's going on and are only playing to their (de)base(d) 30%.

Looking at it from an Engineeting/Gamer perspective, I see three potential paths: 1: Open-source OSes ate exempt, and gaming shifts to Windows Emulation on Linux for legacy games. 2: Open-source is NOT exempt, and banned from the EU, causing much chaos.

Exactly. We're all so used to him saying nonsense and self-contradicting himself, we forget that his handlers could pick and choose the snippets of his rants to retroactively always have been true. It's like generative AI making a picture out of static.

(However, we WILL be making sure that the racists understand that racism is not only wrong, it's foolish, and that they are foolish for believing that people are 'more' or 'less' of a person just on skin tone.)

Also, voting writes should be conditioned on being able to show you understand the moral of the story. You don't have to agree with the moral, you just have to describe the moral in your own words. (That way the racists can't complain that we're "denying them their rights.")

This was the first thing I wrote after I left the Washington Post almost three years ago. What a wild ride (to hell) it has been. gillianbrockell.com/one-neat-tri...

So, here it is - with apologies to my former editor for getting this out way too late - one neat trick that proves the Civil War was not about states' rights:
If the Civil War had been about upholding states' rights, then slave states would have been fine with non-slave states passing laws protecting Black residents who had self-emancipated ("run away") from slave states. Slave states weren't fine with that.
They pushed a federal law - the Fugitive Slave Act - that superseded states' rights, forcing federal marshals to arrest and transport these people, regardless of the laws of the state they were in.
Bloop! That's it!
In the lead-up the Civil War, this was a common point made by antislavery activists
- a ubiquitous thing we have somehow forgotten, like sewing our own clothes or shape-note singing.

It is all coming together right before the midterm elections. Hegseth plans to cut 20% of senior military leaders and Trump wants to federalize elections. A coup is taking place RIGHT NOW. All that is missing is a Reichstag Fire, a USS Maine, a "yellow cake" . It is coming.

Not as intimidating when used properly. That training collar is for Large Dogs, such as Great Danes, who have such thick, muscular neckd they can't FEEL a normal training collar tighten.

European playgrounds are designed to let the kids experience a little risk so they can learn you to judge the riskiness of a behavior or environment. In the US, we design city streets like they were highways, then wonder why people drive fast on them like they were highways.

Eric Adler @ericadler.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

That's becsuse "American standards" for playgrounds are legislated by "how do we prevent the parents from suing if the kid gets a minor bruise or scrape." American playgrounds are made to be "safe" at all costs.
