There is a rather nice "Judith Beheading Holofernes" porcini mushroom pasta sauce. Not organized crime, of course. Just seduction and assassination.
It's by Middle Earth Organics, so a Tolkien decapitation may have been more on-brand than Old Testament.

SAMURAI FACT: It’s traditional to hide your katana inside a baguette to remain inconspicuous, this wrapping paper reduces the need to bake.

I was leaning Tilda Swinton or Paul Giamatti, but the obvious choice is Rowan Atkinson.

There’s gonna be cringe in looking back at anything through a contemporary lens.
Was West Side Story reinforcing stereotypes? Yes, but it also about Puerto Ricans seeking the “American Dream” while doing awesome choreographed dance fights.

I’d support a leader who’d turn everyone into dinosaurs. And Dinosaurs also wouldn’t likely get human cancers, so it would probably be doing both.
It’d be a tough choice if Sauron were competing against Doctor Dinosaur though erasing humanity with time-travel crystalline science may work better.

You’re not getting much interaction on the X site. You’re getting lots of dittoheads and spam though. Broadened horizons indeed.
I get enough ads from the G&M and I’m a paid subscriber, and my taxes subsidize you. MAGA is right about elite MSM being biased and useless, so we have some common ground

Wikipedia is pretty good at shutting down bullshit.
Unlike Google which now tells you to put glue on pizza, or META/X/YouTube/TikTok which are giant funnels for bullshit, spam and scams.

I don’t need to read National Review, WSJ editorial board, etc…
I honestly know the arguments without reading them. Either I’m a psychic or National Review is boring, disingenuous, and offers nothing new. Probably the latter.
They should just use AI to generate columns. The result wouldn’t differ

And the heterodox buttheads who refer to themselves as enlightenment liberals, etc…,will blame wokeism
That’s BS. Shermer, Silverman and even dimwitted dick Dawkins were all-in on shitposting Trumpaganda for years
He’s is so credulous in his dotage I expect a deathbed conversion.

I recall the Theatre being much, much, cooler and social than us student print-media kids.
However, by late-80s/early-90s, we student radio kids were the among the coolest people on the planet.
(Not as cool as musicians, of course.)

“It’s also ableist to mock men with small dicks, and quite inappropriate to keep mentioning that his grandpa was also a raging anti-woke, Apartheid-loving, douchebag, who hated liberal Canada and liked Hitler.”
