The worst ones are when they slaughter scores of henchmen without a single qualm then get all prissy when it comes to the big bad.

Brown Sugar

A lot of that album was pretty subversive but hidden behind upbeat rock. The olds didn’t realize what the kids were listening to because they just heard pop rock.

I’ve always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?

It’s only two sentences. It seems clear to me.

My first point is 2.65mm is neither 10mm, like you originally posted, nor the 7mm you edited it to. My second point is she only needed a little more than 230k where it mattered most this time.

She lost by about 2.65mm.

And just a little over 230k in the States that mattered this time: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Yeah, the young MAGAts I work with don’t like that old crew of Rs. People like Cheney campaigning with Harris was another reason for them to vote for Trump. Sane people know the whole “drain the swamp” thing is bullshit but a lot of his supporters buy that bullshit, and Cheney is definitely a swamp creature.

She needed a little over 230k (at last count) in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Edit: And the total popular vote gap is down to ~2.65mm.

It’s three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.

Couple things I’ve tried to watch recently that I couldn’t find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they’re available on physical media).

Basketball Diaries

Less Than Zero

Very annoying.

That’s funny. I’m watching it for the first time in a long while right now. I wanted to watch Less Than Zero but I can’t find it anywhere.

Gammonsayswhat?

It’s not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people’s words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don’t give a fuck how you pronounce it. I’ll pronounce it how it’s spelled, or any other way I damn well please.

There are more of us than there are of you. It’s our language now, you’re an anachronism.

I’ve only heard that applied to foreign diplomats. Because the parents have diplomatic immunity, they and their children aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

I’ve already heard “it was the war and Holocaust that were bad, not necessarily the fascism.”

Scotch

Keep fighting the good fight against the unnecessary \s. I appreciate you.

I remember my parents civilly disagreeing about H.W. vs. Dukakis, and later H.W. vs. Clinton. There was never a problem there, just a civil discussion and a difference of opinion. But if either of them was a MAGAt, I think they would be spending their last decade or two apart, and they’d be better off that way too. Shit has been on a while different level the last 10 years, at least.

This would make a good “What if?” for XKCD. In a frictionless vacuum with two spheres the mass of the earth and a bowling ball how far away do they need to start before the force acting on the earth sized mass contributes 1 Planck length to their closure before they come together? And the same question for a sphere with the mass of a feather.

I’ve got some bad news for you…
