No, no, if you say good things about Tapper and 'the book', it means you love Trump. Those are the rules!

Probably Artemis, I'd guess. Not sure how old you are, but have you tried re-reading them as a proper adult? I haven't read them since they came out, slightly curious how I'd view them now. I did see the movie, though, and it was dreadful.

Paradise Lost is definitely more entertaining than the Bible and significantly shorter! I give it a solid 9/10. I do not remotely remember it in Artemis Fowl, however!

They want to isolate the US completely.

Pfft and you believe her and your own experiences in China?? Fool.

Hah, I hadn't even noticed they switched! Apparently it was in 2023.

I'm making fun of Trump saying (literally!) that America would not be able to levy tariffs against other countries if the Supreme Court rules that he has levied them illegally. It's a ridicule-worthy comment from him, although that is nothing new.

It's too bad that if the president cannot unilaterally impose tariffs, that means the US cannot impose tariffs. If only there were another branch of government that could do such a thing!

Going to really mess up his golf game tomorrow if he doesn't get enough sleep.

It continues to blow my mind how leaders of academia/media/business/etc act like he won the biggest political victory of all time and will now be emperor for 1,000 years.

Is the New York Times doing okay??

I interacted with him a number of times in the 2016-2020 period and he was annoying as hell. Not remotely surprised to see the route he's gone down.

Oh, wow, that's a great link to history!

Speculatively, I would bet his students passed the story (legend?) down from one generation to another. Not a very well-known story anymore, though, I imagine.

Sports betting is legal in many/most places in Europe and it doesn't lead to the type of insanity we see in the US!

That sounds pretty good to me, to be honest!

Almost like our population is getting older and older, leading more and more people to need wheelchairs to get around... Hmm. For more, let's see what Reform UK has to say about this!
