Never underestimate ambition.

I don’t think anyone considers “banned” to mean the same thing in 2023 as it did back when the Christians were culturally ascendant (e.g., ‘banned in Boston’). But sure, agree on definitions first or qualify it (e.g. banned from the curriculum, banned from the library, etc)

This seems like a healthy dimension of competition for political parties to engage in.

A couple of well placed nukes would eliminate our ship building capability. And probably my house.

My first idea was: "Babe, come here, the Viagra is working!"

I'd like to see it happen

What they need to do is bring in a huge number of people with MBA's who can then help to remove the administrators and other bloat. It works every time!

@Mik said in Musk Is Out: Agreed. he's just dumping off the stuff he doesn't like to do. My guess is he's moving on from running the company to interfering with the person who is trying to run the company.

The Russian Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchy is thoroughly co-opted by the Kremlin and its secret police, the FSB. Not only Ukraine but in every country it operates parishes. That includes North America. The Patriarch Kirill himself was a KGB hood during Soviet times.
