I though the state published a “study” to justify the changes which was a complete bodge job of one sided hate masquerading as “science “

I say this after a couple of very specific individuals that I’ve known for a long time. One I wonder if they would be diagnosed as a sociopath and the other likely has a significant personality disorder. And the point about the middle comes from Holocaust scholarship.

I thought much the same or that if educated or shown a better way they’d see the light, but no. All biology is a spectrum so some have high empathy some have little or none, and the culture has great sway over the middle. Do we make straight arm salutes & hate or do we support our neighbors?

I’m now officially a “ham” in both Canada 🇨🇦 and the U.S. 🇺🇸 . I’m very practical about my operating so not likely to find me “rag chewing “ any time soon. 73. And with a little more paperwork I can operate all over the Americas and Europe 🇪🇺

Having been in Ottawa on Canada Day 2017, complete lack of vampires in evidence. quod erat demonstrandum.

I’ve seen it. It was awesome.

The Savior teams up with a Mexican Wrestler, rides around on a scooter slaying vampires in Ottawa.

Canada and Mexico an unbeatable team.

If von Shitzenpants can go there, so can I!

Ok, maybe I just made that up, now go watch the movie

Did you ever see the alternative timeline in the movie Dick? It’s an interesting take.

I can’t forget the wood chipper

From the Earth to the Moon Astronaut James McDivitt: It's a beautiful machine, Tom!
Tom Kelly: It is, isn't it?
Rusty Schweikart: You really think that thing is beautiful?
Astronaut James McDivitt: God no, it looks like a toaster oven with legs, but I'm not gonna tell him that.

‘Bull' Randleman: Well, how come we're the only one marching every Friday night, twelve miles, full pack, in the pitch dark?
Dick Winters: Why do you think, Private Randleman?
‘Bull': Lieutenant Sobel hates us, sir.
Lt. Winters: Lt. Sobel does not hate Easy Company, Pvt.Randleman. He just hates you.

A Bridge Too Far
Maj. Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
[confused]
German Soldier: What?
Maj. Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?

For a long time, every Easter, I’d watch Life of Brian. Is that a hell worthy act?

This is a truthful expression. I know someone who blames their ex for their adult child’s non-binary identity and may have even tried to have criminal charges brought for accepting their adult child’s identity.

I can choose anyone I want, and I choose Ben Richards

I showed it to a young person who is Canadian but grew up in the States, “I WILL NEVER GET THIS TIME BACK!” “But it’s your culture.” Give in to the dark side of the force you knob.

Five shows to get to know me

Star Trek, from the beginning then Animated…. Rewatched DS9, it was far better than I’d remembered

The Prisoner

I, Claudius

The BBC Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Marvin is sublime.

Danger UXB

Honorable mentions The Rockford Files, Kolchak, Columbo

This one is in 3B, three beers and it looks great, eh. Strange Brew youtu.be/s-K990t7qFM?...

SCOTUS Rules in Favor of Conversion Therapy YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick)

I agree with this. I know some have defended this SCOTUS decision, but parents force their kid to see a licensed mental health professional who know can say harmful things to this kid as “therapy “ youtu.be/UvpN16RE6sk?...

And the Cabinet isn’t the B Team, they’re Little League trying to play in the Majors. They were picked for loyalty not experience. There are no adults in the room saying No. We’re all suffering. We’re all less safe.

He keeps screeching about “we don’t use “ but all trade is global so cutting off 25% of oil, a good chunk of liquefied natural gas, and fertilizer will cause global inflation & impact economies around the globe. There are rumors of strokes &/or dementia. Looks like no plan. No exit strategy.

The U.S. had minesweepers in the Gulf but shipped them to the U.S. to be scrapped. Don’t be surprised to see renewed attacks on ships in the Red Sea which will be devastating to some big U.S. allies. The world position of the U.S. has been utterly trashed by 5 years of his leadership

It’s also facepalm worthy that they’ve taken off sanctions on Russian & Iranian oil but U.S. allies can’t get their oil to market so rewarding their enemies while punishing allies. There’s a ton of merchant sailors trapped in the Gulf. They face challenges just to resupply food & water.

Regards events in the Persian Gulf. It looks like amateur hour. I’m reminded how decades ago Iran & Iraq bludgeoned each other for years & didn’t give up. Thinking that deploying a small force will bring an end to this seems misguided. Bloodiest way to distract from the Epstein files.

These people make Gen Ripper in Dr. Strangelove seem like a beacon of reason and sanity.

Does this sound a lot like…

Hedley: Meeting adjourned. Oh, I am sorry, sir, I didn't mean to overstep my bounds. You say that.
Governor: What?
Hedley: "Meeting is adjourned".
Governor: It is?
Hedley: No, you *say* that, Governor.
Governor: What?
Hedley: "Meeting is adjourned".
