Yes, mathematicians first encountered equations which could only be solved with complex numbers in the 16th century.

TL;DR: We can’t hold them accountable for their crimes, because they might try to hold us accountable for the same crimes.

The Red Green Show

Easy-going comedy with minimal plot, mostly there to tie together an episode of shorter skits. Some Boomer humor, but not too cringe, I think.

One of the Big Lies that they repeated over and over throughout the election season was the one about the “border crisis,” where allegedly criminals and rapists were flooding into the country across the southern border by the millions. They promised to round up and deport all of them, literally millions of people. You can see where the problem arose: Lies collided head-on with reality. There simply are not millions of migrants for ICE to round up. They don’t exist. They never existed. It was all a lie.

Now, the regime has to appear like it’s Doing Something™ by actually deporting people. Stephen Miller has even given ICE a quota of 3,000 deportations a day, and it’s struggling. They have to make the numbers somehow, and the low-hanging fruit are the immigrants that they already have records on, and know about. ICE can just comb the immigration records, and go pick up people whom they know exactly where to find. Morality and logic have nothing to do with it, it’s all about throwing the red meat of performative cruelty to their base, and intimidation to their political enemies.

My guess was cave exploration. He said he was going to a remote area where pooping was an option, but he didn’t want to, which makes sense when you know you’ve gotta carry that shit out with you in your cave pack. There are only a handful of scientific cave expeditions that go into caves for three days, so I figured that if he said so, he would unequivocally dox himself.

Who set those rules? Is there standards body that promulgates them? I remember that social media emerged as a term to describe media on which the users provided the content, rather than traditional gatekeepers like newspapers and TV networks. Wikipedia agrees, using special jargon, distinguishing between monologic and dialogic media models.

Reddit is quintessential social media.

Sir Terry Pratchett tweeted his own meeting with Death.

It that’s true, and we’re afraid Iran might use them, then it seems like a bad idea to attack it.

It’s even sillier when you realize (hah!) that -or came from Latin, and -our came from Old French, and both had been used interchangeably in English for at least a century when Samuel Johnson decided to use -our in his dictionary, and Noah Webster decided to use -or. So Britons and Yankees are equally (in)correct.

Personally, I’d go with the idea that the Democrats are the ones who fight for brightly-colored warning signs, guardrails, and PPE for the operators of the orphan crushing machine.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I believe in due process, so any Republican making a lot of noise about protecting children should in, a just world, at least be probable cause for a search warrant.

It’s the New York Post, though. 100% intentional.

A rainbow appearing in the sky over Dublin on the day that Ireland voted to legalize same-sex marriage? A tornado destroying the house of Rep. Joe Harding, who authored the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida?

I don’t know how much clearer He can get!

ready and willing and even eager to mouth whatever he thinks will please whoever he’s desperate to please at the moment.

How much would you bet that that doesn’t apply to his wife, if you know what I mean?

Brilliant! Just put your pillow in the wash on spin cycle while cooking your risotto to save a lot of effort.

The right wing propaganda machine had been at work on Hillary since even before Bill was elected President in '92, so that could certainly explain it.

That just makes it worse! (From my point of view here.) People behaving reprehensibly because an authority figure asked them to do it? That’s just the Milgram experiment, but without any apparent hesitation!

I’m saying that more people voted for Hillary Clinton than her male opponent, which flatly contradicts the claim that people wouldn’t vote for a woman. But let me ask the question: If the GOP nominated Kristi Noem as its candidate for president in 2028, would you rest assured that she couldn’t win because of misogyny?

The country did vote for a white woman the previous time: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
