Anyone remember the good old days of getting heated debating Dwight Eisenhour vs Adlai Stevenson?

This shadowy figure is at least as artistically impactful as what was erased. Pretty spooky.

A child who thinks?! How to terrify the current oligarchy.

Can we throw in a plague of locusts? I've always just appreciated the classics.

The current deciding committee of five is currently chaired by the head of the Norwegian branch of PEN. I don't think Trump has much of an ally here.

Spitting Images pretty much captured his essence.

I guess to the Republican Christian Nationalist crowd, it probably does serve pornographic ends, because that sort of content is exactly what turns their little cranks.

Trump may do well to re-read his copy of Leviathin, as well as reviewing lessons from his no doubt familiar copy of Rousseau's "On the Social Contract". Perhaps it's been too long since he pulled these tomes from his bookshelf.

Funny, the Holy Ghost is never there for the heavy lifting, but if you want some virgin knocked up he's all over it.

I just love this stuff. Even as a humanities major with a fondness for medieval history, I sort of understand it around the edges; at least enough to be grateful that many can actually master such cosmic magic.

I guess LGTBQ trade workers would confuse the hell out of her.

This leading edge boomer thinks that's pretty funny. "Ideal for family who enjoys Jefferson Airplane at 3 AM as he intends to haunt the place."

A number of years ago a colleague recently arrived from Sri Lanka asked me about any uniquely Canadian celebrations. Best I could come up with is we are the only country on the planet that still celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday. Anyway, happy 205th old girl.
