Don’t worry, I’m sure everyone’s been there at one time or another. (At least the U.S. FBI seems to think so….)

I believe "marmots who fellate" is the term of art. (Though I suppose Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend might question that.)

The withdrawal came with unusual speed, following what U.S. officials said were threats of an Iran-based plot against the installation.

My neighborhood bar is randomly showing “Pretty Woman” on VHS in fast-reverse, and, honestly, I’m wondering what kind of metaphor this might be.

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

I can't recall ever seeing anything that low at Annapolis. (Sure, the Blue Angels got really low during graduation week--standard performance altitude for them--but their show was also over water adjacent to the Academy rather than over a packed stadium.)

Fair. I may well be badly underestimating its prevalence due to it not holding any appeal at all for me personally, nor for anyone I know (that I'm aware of). More kink research is always required--that's how you find your new ones! 😏

OK, granted, there's a grey-area border in a tiny corner of kinkdom. My thinking was more that there's such an enormously broad range of consenting, healthy kink interests that anything to do with pedophilia is both tiny in comparison and also as much a mental-health issue as a kink.

In other words, a literal copy of business as usual in the U.S.

FWIW, associating kinks with pedophilia does a disservice to a whole lot of people--of all genders.

Many of my USNA '91 classmates seem jazzed that "one of us" is in charge now, and I think that clouds their judgement as to just how much damage is being wrought to the place under him.
