A generation or two ago some insensitive person would have transformed the word "pedant" here to humorous ends, but that person might have once been yet no longer will be I.

Great article!

Of course. I wasn't actually calling either fully irrational/arational. I was saying that where the barbs are to be traded about their many wrong calculations, you could probably consider that the Kremlin has at least tried and failed to be rational while the White House seems to just wing it.

*overtaken

Russian side was always deluded and quite often got out over their skis but now the level of rake-steppery out of Washington has overtake anything the Kremlin could ever prat fall their way into. If Moscow is irrational, DC is arational.

One can only hope that at some point in said speech he went with "focus on this decade".

Was once employed by a very large French multinational which rolled out a huge rebranding of our massive subsidiary with its new English name, not having bothered to sound it out in French. (It sounded exactly like the slang for "blowjob".)

Good shepherd, GOP sheepwhore...tomato, offbrand ketchup-infused church bake sale meatloaf. Let's call the whole thing off!

What made it so insane, anyone know?

Hadn't thought of it before, but Hegseth's bellicose beat poetry does give off some of the same alphadork vibes as Tarantino himself.

I *think* they meant that it was still actively getting worse (and therefore a real issue for a potential buyer) and it only appeared to be basically in the same condition due to some repair work in the meantime...?

On behalf of the residents of France, I would like to formally extend an invitation to JD Vance to come here and rally support for Bardella next year!

Who's to say for sure that there are more than 50 people who occupy that $35K-$85K annual salary range??

Have to hope it's TACO Tuesday!

No you are! Er...

Wait for his bleat a few weeks from now declaring that the US is pulling out of NATO. And the rubes will lap up that gusher, too.

Saw a "documentary" once where the long-nailed woman explained how she had to wrap the palm of her hand as if for a sprain. Or a mummy.

Oh, the sacrifices we make for...some reason.

That was her human form.

My daughter has a similar profile and I don't know if I did the right* thing by getting her a leftie guitar because she's going to be hamstrung by that in the future.

*pun only somewhat intended

Oh, it can be physically taxing, believe you me.

Some guys I know have told me about it

Didn't think I cared about soup preparation nearly as much as my partner, but last night when I started chopping onions...

Stick a toothpick in the water next time before you put it in the microwave. And better yet, pour that water into another cup which has the coffee powder/tea bag. At some point remove toothpick!

Similar thing happened to me this morning. Didn't have a big enough tote bag in Ikea so hotwired a forklift and accidentally drove it into the decorative fountain in the parking lot.

We was watcheeng you too, espèce de rosbif !

Jenny?

(Yep, 8675309 is a prime!)

I suppose, hadn't really thought of those admittedly, but are they actually that different from globular Reese's? 😁

I'm not suggesting that Cleveland doesn't have good food, just nothing even remotely as both unique and nationally-recognized as Skyline. This was not intended as a Sam Wyche moment!

It's gained traction in Dayton and Columbus as well. And it's probably the only truly known unique dish from the state.

I take it we're rounding up to 100% then?
