I agree about the latter, he’s a centrist Democrat at best, but he’s got a lot at stake directly opposing the Trump administration on their latest actions as the US slips into dictatorship, and I’d hardly call that cowardice.

Here. It’s not dissimilar to Phil Harris’ original, in my opinion.

I can personally vouch for this.

He was 30 minutes’ walk from the prison? I guess the net closed very quickly?

1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2

I’ve never read about this! It cost $200 million and was a failure - the soil microbes used much more oxygen than expected and the resulting carbon dioxide reacted with the concrete walls to make calcium carbonate, so neither the human “crew” nor the plants had enough to breathe.

Not totally sure of the relevance, but you’re thinking of K.C. & The Sunshine Band’s 1975 That’s the Way (I Like It).

Quick reminder that if we’re hearing it from Bannon, there’s an agenda being pushed, and it’ll be in Trump’s best interests. Nice to hear about infighting, though.

All well and good in theory, but after bribing a barmaid called “Anon” for a lead, my group have now been directed to talk to a halfling in the corner of the tavern by the name of “Hamas”.

It wasn’t just other cultural groups that had other gods – proto-Judaism was polytheistic.

Although she appears to be very young, she was born into a long-lived race of elves and has lived for over a thousand years.

Oh, that old chestnut.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

This is a silly argument, but:

at some point they stopped making TV shows and movies set in the past and went to making everything science fiction

At the risk of being cliché, I recommend the original books by Bernard Cornwell!

There’s still a ton of historical media too. From my past three months of watching:

• Gladiator II
• John Adams
• Taboo
• The Count of Monte Cristo
• Beneath Hill 60
• When Evil Lurks
• Life is Beautiful
• A Haunting in Venice
• Wolf Hall
• The Terror

Just because she likes to see the giggle doesn’t mean she thinks any less of the other women, she could even hold her in very high regard.

Misogyny aside, there’s nothing in this sentence that is gender-specific other than the pronouns. We should recognize it and call it out regardless.

I like the suggestion that the witch hadn’t cast a spell before this point because they thought it was a social faux-pas. Confrontation anxiety strikes again.

You don’t need to pretend Musk has German ancestry to criticize them. His father is a violent bigot who supports Russian imperialism and his maternal grandfather was a racist, fascist Southern African politician.

Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.

FYI, Brother seem to be acting a little shady in the last couple of years.

Nah, that’s a conference venue. You’re thinking of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
