That's so far out of Catholic bounds. You can't just say "intervene or I do, you know, the thing."

Ross Douthat obviously sucks and doesn't attack that position because it's an endorsement of other ghouls who have no business near the levers of power, but he does go on to argue against the council-of-ghouls concept in a surprise to me and anyone else who's internalized Betteridge's Law.

Biden concession speech will be a whole genre of posting leading up to it and he will blow everyone out of the water.

It can be done and is done in Finland, or at least Helsinki -- there are a bunch of stands where you can get a salmon soup by the docks. I think a would-be soup vendor in, say, burgerland, is up against cultural expectations about soup, namely that it comes in cans and sucks and you only eat it when you're sick.

Are you sure he isn't saving his heat for 8:01?

What's frustrating is how he's not like my folks, near the same age. They're getting their steps in, adjust to European time as fast as anyone else and one can go full-on Putin with the history lectures, nailing detail after detail with no regard to how late it's getting. And yet the media portrays the concern about his brain being pudding as ageism. It's not about old people in general, it's about this particular old fuck who doesn't know which Biden he is.

When are we watching it?

Kudos to your friend. I can't imagine feeling remotely physically safe burning a US flag in front of USians who didn't know about and support said burning in advance.

if he has two more events like that

Mf thinks that was strike one and he's good as long as he avoids further plate appearances.

Now Dayman is stuck in my head.

I like the way they serve them at Korean and Japanese fast food places; dipped in cheese and covered with potato bits or even crispy ramen.

My work laptop, Windows 10 with no option to change that, keeps emitting the thing-unplugged sound. Is there a quick way to find out what it thinks was unplugged?
