From the article: "No one showed up to protest the game Friday and those who complained in March have been quiet since then." Good. Good. This reminds me of that silly clunch who complained that Brady's toss of the Lombardi was disrespectful of her father, who designed the trophy. If y'all redd the article I sent here a couple of days ago, you couldn't miss the joy and heady exuberance of that day, made even more so by the toss. Many said they'd never forget the day. Then Debbie Downer comes along, thankfully too late to ruin the festivities. I hope very much that the fun and frolic of the Skirt Game is restored next year. Damn those stupid women.

Not sure why you call them baby names. Is the list for name changes in general, or baby name changes, whatever that means?

Earlier King novels are hard to translate into film or TV. So much of the horror wasn't visual...

Outstanding news.

As usual, it will boil down to cost/yield.

@George-K said in Cars weaponized - again: @Mik said in Cars weaponized - again: Blew right through them. Wow. Apparently, this is near a LGBTQ (did I get all the letters?) nightclub on the south side. I don't know if it was targeted or not, but...GFC. Geezus Fucking Christ?

@George-K said in Hay Aqua! Toy Camera Photography!: https://www.bigrick.com/post/toy-camera-blackandwhite-photography Pretty cool, but I'll be impressed once they try a Holga or Ilford Sprite. Or hell, a pinhole camera.

@jon-nyc said in Even a shithole state has its perks: Best Texas bbq I ever had was on 25th st and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. And I was born in Texas. Hill country bbq is on 26th. Just sayin.

@George-K said in Think tank says US/Taiwan would defeat Chinese invasion..ion: I saw that yesterday. One of the comments I read stated that the Chinese have war-gamed this out as well, with a similar conclusion. War games took a reputational hit with the Ukraine thing. I hope they trust the results.

@Catseye3 Lol, but I don’t think we want to go there. Would be bad form.

@George-K said in Bari Weiss: NYT asked Schumer to censor Scott: A spokesman for the Times responded to a request for comment on Weiss’s allegations by insisting that “New York Times Opinion never seeks outside approval or consultation whether to publish guest opinion essays.” I wouldn't expect it to be a codified or acknowledged practice. Of course it isn't. But of course it happens, directly and indirectly. And the smoky room dwelling powers being consulted, ain't your grandma's evil rich white republicans.
