Without knowing who anybody is or what their perspective is, it's tough to solve. I never read the TV movie posts, what are you watching...because I don't watch anything. So, if a post is labeled PENCE, stay away. It's probably not news about fishing. Post what you want. I'm sure someone has the ana...

Totally against unsubstantiated charges. Totally for reporting crimes. Totally for having them investigated. Routinely disappointed. The weak generally do not use the justice system to beat up the powerful. Yes, the Mockingbird thing happens, but I'd have to investigate whether it was really common....

Regularly but not frequently. Lately more on certain topics, mostly for emphasis. He's an idiot is good, but he's a f...ing idiot is emphatic. In some company I try not to at all, and will occasionally just silence out the word. I used to do this in class, just leave a breath instead of a word, and ...

Fifty year olds who have tor remind us that they were their high school valedictorian have deep issues.

Crucible isn't parallel. Maybe you've been hearing witch hunt too often. This is more akin to the catholic church stuff or the Penn State stuff, or the Olympic gymnastic stuff. Well funded, powerful organization ignores powerless because of loyalty to its own. Kav has none of the humanity and vulner...

Perfect reference, except it's not. It'd be closer if the pic was of Bob Euell. The real difference here is the power dynamic. In Mockingbird, the accused had no power except the law and rules of evidence. He's at the mercy of the ability of the court to be fair and colorblind and rational. That's t...

and the family tree gets bigger every day.

Tyrants often treat their dogs (and those who behave or do tricks like them) very well. They don't consider the dog (or the sycophant) an equal or a person, and the dog makes no demand that his master do so. It's a convenient arrangement. I detest people who abuse dogs, but folks who keep an animal ...

Sadly no surprise that the hostile environment for victims creates paranoia and suspicion as a default. They're entitled to their paranoia and suspicion: it's what they've received from the folks in charge. Trust me, it wasn't their invention. If we codify, at least in practice, protection for rapis...

1 He's a terrible judge, consistently prejudicial. I got into three of his decisions that are available, and he's a total hack. Needn't have even attended to make the decisions he made. Possibly worse than Thomas. 2 He has a hugely inflated view of his intellect and control. If you're brilliant, you...

Not certain I can make Thurs, will be on logistics duty in NYC, will attempt to check in one way or another.

On the topic of old news: anybody who has had a mustache for any length of time knew/knows that Clarence Thomas is a craven liar. It doesn't take too many cans of soda to lose a hair, painfully, to the modern push tab. Yes, it looks like what he crassly said it looked like. Yes, it was an opportunit...

Also, my general distaste for Feinstein aside, what does it say about who we are as a culture when half the population is justifiably afraid to come forward with criminal allegations? btw, we need to add to that the demographic that's male, but un-privileged enough to be met with suspicion instead o...

If his documents as a judge had been released appropriately, perhaps we would not have come to this....

It was her first week of second grade. Her teacher had personal connections. And. of course, it wouldn't go away. There was no next storm. Ours is a small town anyway, so when the firefighters we sent to help came down with cancer simultaneously (about six years later) we still felt, at least a litt...

So my daughter is in California, and experiencing her first 9/11 surrounded by folks who mostly were asleep when it actually happened. Living in NY, having folks whose families were directly connected (No one we personally knew perished) watching the events unfold in her classroom that morning, not ...

So everyone is "shocked, just shocked, I tell you" that this moron is just as stupid and venal and vulgar and selfish and dishonest behind the scenes as he has been in front of us for the last half century?

Sources? It's been playing out on national television.

Without going off the rails that control of a section of energy/matter bandwidth makes one master of the universe, or that one would live long enough to analyze and master it without somehow being labelled an enemy of the state, our discovery of the anomaly would likely be similar to HG Wells, or Ro...

Telekinesis

On reflection, I agree that these are likely local portals, having said that, I think we should save this for last. 1...this was a nasty gate guard, what's to follow may be worse. Wrath is the most aggressive and fighty-est sin. 2...We're already isolated from our supply chain and other resources. W...
