What if we make it a statue of St. Columba, that way we make the Irish happy too.

He should just double down and go with the Lori Lightfoot approach. That’s the best way to handle obnoxious Italian-Americans.

Thank you for sharing this. I showed my Turkish friend and she was happy to see this.

I’ve been away from here for awhile but have been back to lurking the news comm to keep up with current events. While that happened I met this woman who I have a lot in common with. She’s a fellow queer atheist history nerd and we’ve become fast friends after texting back and forth everyday for the last two months. She’s such a sweet person and I try to tell her that to be encouraging and supportive.

The cold dead hand of Pharma Jim.

I just assume they’re all dead. I always assume the worst in these situations.

That is going beyond even Soviet losses in WWII, in terms of percentage of total population.

It’s just pure evil.

What happens when we run out of American awards? Do we convince the British to give him a BAFTA? Or better, give him a damn knighthood. Give him all the knighthoods. The liberals will scream about the Emoluments Clause again but, that didn’t stop him the first time.

I like Civil Rights Acts as a genre of legislation. We need more of them.

Also, can we go back to naming bills after their authors instead of all these stupid acronyms?

Pope Dan.

I’m still voting for John Goodman.

Interesting take. Is this really panning out, that all these people that are younger than me are far right?

In the same vein, I’ve encountered people named after the site.

Frankly I don’t like it either. I wish we had a more egalitarian language for talking about sexual relations with a partner. Maybe that could contribute towards building a culture about mutual appreciation for both partners needs. I wish the sex culture in general emphasized that more instead of putting so much emphasis on this dominance/submission role stuff.

This is also reproduced in gay male sexual culture as I’m starting to find out. Like, why can’t people just have fun together and not make it about reproducing our societies’s hierarchies for once. No, we still have to get frazzled over who is literally on top.

Every day without fail there is an accident on the road I take to work. Usually at night. I sometimes have to take the back roads because one time, when passing by an accident, the authorities had not yet swept up the glass and I had to get a new tire. Another time, I got to the intersection in a school zone and I thought I was safely away from the main road. Nope. Some asshole who got there after me ran through the stop sign at around 40 mph, and I caught it just in time to back up when I was trying to exercise my right of way.

Sometimes they put little wooden crosses on the side of the road to mark the area where someone died. My guess is, if they did that for every accident on that stretch of road, the roadside would just be full of little crosses like an American WWI cemetery.

It needs a pussyhat.

I associate this song and God Bless the USA with the unfettered jingoism of the Bush years.

Mostly the latter because it was PG enough to be blasted at school assemblies.
