So, would it be incredibly bright ‘above’ and absolute darkness ‘below?’

… as far as we can tell currently.

Oh, you know: Tomato tmahto, potato criptofacism.

There were still mammoth when the pyramids were being built.

Yah. At 6’2” I get people a bit scared of me… and then we talk. It can be a kind of entertaining turn of interaction, especially with kids.

Merkin here: I apologize to things and also say thanks to digital assistants. It is just polite, I suppose.

All of Putins homes. All at once.

Weird story time: My great grandfather was obviously the source of the autism in our family line. Man could not read social subtext to save his life. He felt driven to find some sort to group to belong to that had set meetings and such. For a 5 year span, he joined, like, everyone. Elks, masons, you name it. When we were helping him clean out his house in the early 90s we found a KKK uniform. We asked about it. Apparently it was billed as a men’s group and they just had costumes made. He went along with it for a few meeting and then the extracurriculars were discussed at his last meeting. He finally got the point of it. He got out. We had his calendar book from that year(and every year from the 30s-retirement) and we saw the date where he started crossing out the KKK meeting times.

Why he kept it? It was the best work his wife had ever done.

Several years later I asked my grandfather if his dad was racist. Basically, he said that his dad had gotten in trouble for not understanding the racist, unwritten policies he was supposed to enforce and kept asking why, as there was no logic to them.

Its truedeau. (Its a pun)

You can be as evil as you want, as long as you are doing it to the right people and you’re on their team.

Ooh. Dunno about the adaptation side of things. I will say that I read the damned thing all in one night. Had to stay home from classes after doing so. Good book, to say the least.

I think they are buying carve outs for the tariffs

Yah. Mine just has full on knife wounds from that.

Well, when no justice is occurring in the justice system, this is the logical next step.

Ah yes. The “nonsense drawer” as my youngest labeled it. It has stuck. In my parents family it was called the junk drawer.
