Here Comes the Rain Again -- The Eurythmics

?

Oh, I'm with you now. He's a prick

Not the lasagna! Why didn't anyone stop this?!

I don't know what macro means here. I mean, I'm gathering from context that this is nutrition related... macro-nutrients?... macro-biotics? Either way, it's too much for me right now. I'm just happy when I feel like my portions aren't out of control.

Fine. Let's make amends.

Nermal: I have a gland condition.

Garfield: So sorry to hear that you can't stay longer.

I'm trusting you on this one. My gut says play it safe, but I certainly don't want to invite the BBEG in on our plans.

Go it alone!

I think Eli might have it, but I'll try:

They came with the house. I keep forgetting to call animal control.

I remember "I'll turn the heat up", but I didn't remember the first bit, so I kept changing it.

According to the Israeli person who acted as the representative of the hostages in negotiations, Hamas offered a deal to release ALL civilian hostages as early as October 9 or 10 in exchange for the IDF not entering Gaza, which lines up with reporting of Palestinian journalists at the time.

Last Wednesday, the protesters and the authorities had different accounts of what happened, and it turned out the protesters were much more accurate. I imagine the same will be true in this instance.

That's part of it for me. I'm a middle-aged white guy who likes rap. I recognize most of the names involved, and Im familiar with their music. But I'm not immersed in it. I'm listening to Black creators and musicians breaking it all down for me and explaining references and such, and it feels like r...

Don't be so dramatic. I'll turn up the heat.

This isn't a choice. Gotta go yeti.

Oh yeah, I forgot an extra bonus diss on Drake. Metro Boomin, a D.J. and producer renowned for his beats, also responded to Drake. He created a beat called BBL Drizzy, which samples a parody song of the same name about Drake's various plastic surgeries, one of which is rumored to be a Brazilian butt...

Apparently the Tik Tok algorithm thinks I'd be interested in the recent (and ongoing) rap Beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. And Tik Tok's algorithm is 100% right! For reference: Billboard's timeline of Drake and Kendrick. Here's the highlights: Drake and Kendrick have known each other over a de...

Sorry for so many posts, but it is ongoing and evolving. Remember how the IDF went into the bombed out hospital and showed us "evidence" of Hamas terrorists that justified their attacks? The showed a grid on the wall with the names of guards and their shifts for guarding hostages. But Arab...

FWIW, the New York Times gives a timeline of the confrontation at UCLA last Tuesday night (April 30) They say they reviewed over 100 videos taken of the events and essentially corroborate the story told by the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment spokesperson in the press release I posted above. Th...

Yeah, you know Carlos. I'm sure he's fine. Let's go keep that meeting. Being reckless won't help anyone.

Page 8!

I forgot it's Sunday.

Liz: Some people just can't pull off sunglasses.

Garfield: That's because I glued them to his face.

"However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic." Thank you! I hadn't seen that. I can safely back-burner that worry. On another note about the protest. I'm sick to my stomach that ALL THE NEWS COVERAGE of the protest treat...

Liz: That's the anatomy skeleton.

Garfield: What's mysterious is the human skeleton in a vet's office.

The U.S. House is so pro-Israel that they just passed house bill 6090 which defines anti-Semitism to include any criticism of Israel's government. Thus, publicly disagreeing with Israel's actions would now legally be hate speech. Allowing hate speech is grounds for withdrawal of federal funding... W...

Liz: Does he know he's talking to a jar of dog treats?

Garfield: It's part of his mystery.

I deserve no point. I was 100% sure I was right and I wasn't close.

I have several paragraphs typed up about this, because I'm very interested in what Akiva's take, but I can't get everything quite right, and in the meantime I found this about the clash last night: UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment Press Release by SJP at UCLA Wed, May 1, 2024 6:09AM April 30, 20...

It's Monday the 13th.

Gandhi-Cat is done fasting!

According to Stephen Colbert, it's now more correctly called a dead animal pit, featuring some gravel.

I hope they don't clear them out, and I also hope they don't cancel. I'm 100% with Kyle on this. Look back at the protest movements that we as Americans idolize now. Abolitionists, suffragettes, workers rights, civil rights, Vietnam protests, gay rights, BLM, all of these involved people exercising ...

Yeah, he definitely didn't get the joke.

The cruelty is the point, I think. I know this will appeal to the hardline MAGA fans, but they aren't the ones that need winning over.

Meanwhile if they just had normal protests on campus, they would be (and have been) fine. I don't know what is going on elsewhere because I've only followed this one case. So much to digest there, but this one I can respond to right away. Since you haven't been following the other protests, there a...

100% agree.

Unfortunately, we named that initiative "Defund the Police", and most of America rejected it.

It is not normal for people from the country, from rural areas, to slaughter their inconvenient animals in a gravel pit. Kristi Noem is a horrible human being for all sorts of reasons, and I agree with you that what she did to this dog (and the goat) was disturbing, but I have to tell you that putt...

Tornado was also spotted in Madison county (where I live), but we had nothing in our neighborhood except big rain and little hail. Radar show is in the clear in about 10 minutes.

Tornado touched down on the west (?) end of Omaha. Severe damage. People missing. Hoping everyone is okay.

I've also seen videos of Cal Poly students putting to good use all those skills learned from a lifetime of active shooter drills in school, barricading the doors and preventing the cops from getting in. I'm sure that annoys the authorities as well. Cuz then I watch footage of man-on-the-street inter...

For comparison, on January 6th, when armed people were storming the capitol and literally calling for the deaths of Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi among others, causing $3 million worth of damage and attacking law enforcement officers with actual weapons, the cops arrested exactly 6 people that day. Un...

Okay, I've done a dozen searches for elements of your quote there, and I can't find that quote from Fenves. If you've still got the link, that would be awesome. And I've done a bunch of searches about the confrontation at Candler Seminary, and I have found where the protesters marched to the seminar...

Goddam Antifa!

1. Or maybe it's that I glued my hand to my face.
2. Again?

Escalated now to tear gas, rubber bullets, and tasers to disperse protesters at Emory College in Atlanta, GA. Eyewitnesses report that students of color, and particularly Black students, bore the brunt of police aggression. The college administration explained that non-atudenta were the ones setting...

Every protest of this size and scope will have the possibility of violence, and moreso as arrests start and law enforcement starts roughing up people. But I feel like the amount of violence is really irrelevant, because I'm sure by now, the Fox News narrative is that violent protesters are spilling ...

I thought the Pilgrims came here in order to make their religion the official government religion.

I agree, except that my definition of "gently progressive" and "fair share" both involve reversion to the good ol' days of taxing 70% on the top tax bracket. I'd be thrilled to go back to 90%, but this Overton window has a lot of inertia. I don't believe anyone who is currently a...

The particular issue you mention is not yet on my radar, but I do worry specifically about what all this can mean for my children and for any current or future partners capable of bearing children as well as what it means for the treatment of women in general. There are many many dystopian nightmare...

No way. It's too late for that. The establishment has decided the best course is to try to strongarm these kids into silence. Columbia fucked up everyone's chances at letting it blow over by sending in the cops and setting the tone for others. All it did was embolden people and bring more protesters...

Hmm. I thought there'd be some pushback on this. Someone describing the health benefits of low-fat, flavorless white meat.

Glad to see wiser heads have prevailed.
