    Fanciful utopian ideas such as "the majority of cars not being on fire" have no place in serious political discourse.

    Well, depends on what scriptures you read, the god(s) may also have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike powers.

    @Horace said in Mildly interesting: @jon-nyc said in Mildly interesting: 73% of all women from every class survived the sinking of the Titanic. Only 19% of men survived. Speaking of paleolithic emotions and medieval institutions. It's no wonder why young men might be looking around and wondering about these sorts of attitudes. Especially when we are harangued about being sexists and patriarchs. Swim, bitch, swim.

    @jon-nyc said in Newsom 2028: I think there’s too much about California that will stick to him, even if much of it is cleaned up by then. My fear is he’ll beat someone electable in the primary. Shapiro 2028. He's just about their only chance, assuming things do not go south badly between now and then.

    @Horace said in Jesus Fucking Christ: I wasn't aware that Russia now owned that age-old bit of anti-war rhetoric that's been around since I was a kid. It was grandfathered to the Russian Federation when the USSR was dissolved. It was always a Soviet anti nuclear propaganda piece going back to the “Ban the Bomb” movement among Western leftist groups immediately following WWII. Reached its peak during Reagan’s first term prior to the perestroika reforms under Gorbachev.
