Well an updated version would be difficult because David Graeber died in 2020. But maybe someone else can pick up the torch

By doing it this way, they preserve the “lifetime appointment” part in the Constitution while still leaving room for a regular infusion of new people

…Until someone brings a lawsuit, which goes to the Supreme Court and they conveniently decide for themselves that the law imposing term limits on them is unconstitutional.

Plato, Republic, Book I, Cephalus’ speech:

How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles⁠—are you still the man you were? Peace, he replied; most gladly have I escaped the thing of which you speak; I feel as if I had escaped from a mad and furious master. His words have often occurred to my mind since, and they seem as good to me now as at the time when he uttered them. For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many.

This comment could have been posted word-for-word in February/March 2020 and it would have had the exact same meaning. Even if Trump completely blunders this conflict it will ultimately be someone else’s mess to clean up.

Next AG pick: Tomi Lahren

You’re right but I think that most of those people are worried about consuming micro plastics and are less concerned about the effects on the environment. So most people aren’t munching on their tires or Lululemons ^unless you’re into that sort of thing…^

Guaranteed to have a rip-roaring time!

OP’s dad must be Pentheus

Whoosh

I hope they change Say’s Phoebe just because it’s annoying to say, no one understands when you say its name, its name easily leads to confusion.

Since no one has posted this yet so far, the Mattress Underground is the place to go for high-quality information about mattresses.

You’ll learn far more than you’d ever want to know about mattresses. And you’ll probably end up paying more too if you buy from one of the recommended retailers. But if quality is your main concern, then this is how you figure out what’s real and what’s not.

Yup, Omarosa Manigualt-Newman. She had her own roller coaster ride with Trump since 2016. Here’s a few excerpts from her Wikipedia page:

In December 2016, Newman was announced as one of nine additional members to Trump’s presidential transition team. Unlike the rest of President Trump’s inner circle appointments, Omarosa didn’t have any roots in the Republican party or otherwise conservative or right wing activism.

On January 3, 2017, it was reported that Newman would join Trump’s White House staff, focusing on public engagement. Her specific title was made public the next day as assistant to the President and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison.

On December 13, 2017, the White House announced Newman’s resignation, effective January 20, 2018… CNN White House correspondent April Ryan reported that White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly fired Newman, but she disputed the account, stating that she resigned. But Newman had secretly taped her firing, and gave the tape to Chuck Todd to play on his NBC program Meet The Press on August 12, 2018.

Newman wrote a book deeply critical of Trump titled Unhinged, which went on sale on August 14, 2018, in which she labels Trump a racist, and states that witnesses have confirmed the existence of tapes of Trump repeatedly using the word “n*****” during the filming of The Apprentice.

The same David Brooks who wrote a column just one month ago claiming that people are paying too much attention to Jeffrey Epstein?

FYI the vote did happen a few days ago. It just had the entirely predictable result of failing, since there was no longer any leverage for Republicans to vote for it

This is only scratching the surface of the weirdness of semen retention advocates. Throwback to the Canadian political candidate who advocated for this a few years ago:

“Every time you’re tempted to ejaculate, every time you’re tempted to go watch porn… You are essentially in the fight for your life. You’re fighting for your very lifeforce. Nature’s forgiving, and because of nature’s merciful nature, we’ve taken advantage of that nature and now we’re depleting,” argues Nakula. “Right now the world needs men. Men with full balls,” said the PPC candidate in a YouTube video.

“Breathe deeply into your balls," he wrote on Instagram. “Imagine your testicles expanding like lungs. When you exhale, imagine your testicles deflating like your lungs would”. “Most men never breathe into their balls consciously,” he added.

There are lots of stroads in my (American) city where the speed limit is 40mph or roughly 65kph.

All Canadians (at least of a certain age) have learned the etymology of the word Canada from this heritage minute that used to be played all the time on TV: https://youtu.be/nfKr-D5VDBU

Shane MacGowan. Exhibit A: Irish Rover (he comes in around 0:38)

Cleaning, especially doing the goddamn dishes

He endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020 and I don’t think he’s changed his politics since then.
