Cranky Canuck Torontonian. Failed repeatedly to get a job as corporate philosopher. Internet smarty-pants. These opinions are mine and not someone else’s. Pronouns: it/they, or whatever else you like, but I will absolutely respect yours.
Good explanation. I could tell it wasn’t SAP because that couldn’t have an end point in advance.

I didn’t know there was a cemetery of shame for mimes. I thought they were shameless.

It is possible that none of that shame has actually been buried!

I think it would be hard to communicate the intense need to someone who has not sinned as badly as I and therefore has not had such penance.

With radioactive salts of mercury. And Alito started gleefully practically the moment he joined the court. One wishes to go back in time and praise political flunkies like Miers.

I’m glad he wrote it, but this would be a lot more convincing if it weren’t a letter from the leopard party. Nunziata is one of the people who carefully made this bed. The current reality is what the Birchers and all their fellow travellers were aiming to create.

Yeah, I have never been a Cult of Steve person, but Cook is just not a product guy and so the company isn’t any more either.

It is sort of hard to believe both quite how accurate Orwell was (apart from missing the date by a few decades), but also how even his fertile imagination was not able to capture quite how bad it would have to get. It’s not even that ignorance is strength: it’s power!

If you get the Tesla Pestimus (or whatever it’s called) you can get some extra tears going just by interacting with it to start the walk.

Sort of. Back in the Usenet days it was really two of them, and later they divorced. Snopes.com is still operating, however. And the other one of the couple (I forget who got it) apparently continued doing similar work.

Indeed, if your name is, say, Sontag and you make the weakest version of that point in 2001, you’ll get pilloried for it. In this way, Kirk was a sort of latter-day enforcer for a whole bunch of Official Truths of Merrika, disagreement with which is proof you’re evil.

Is this really news? His breathtaking stupidity on every topic ever was on copious display for an entire term of the presidency. This is why the rest of the world believes that US citizens are themselves either evil or stupid: they put him _back_.

I think the most emblematic part is that he is so incompetent that he can’t even hire a typist who knows how to capitalize in English.

Anyone old enough to remember the late Soviet period will only get worried/start celebrating when they announce that he has a cold.
