Found this again!

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

As so many of us have said so often for a year now, any predatory man already ignoring laws forbidding assault isn't going to obey a 'bathroom ban'. Making life harder for trans people and many others with restrictions which will be impossible to enforce will do nothing to make any women safer.

All is chaos (and lots of piles of books)

I decided, early today, to tackle the long overdue job of sorting out my bookshelves and oh god what have I *DONE* (there are still several full shelves to sort before any reloading can begin).

Okay, this needs a reboot. Damn, that is one lovely garment! Would look brilliant in waxed canvas.
