Also, Sullivan's comment is quite antisemitic being that Arabic is a Semitic language.

Wow. All for teaching children a new word for "friend" and espousing inclusiveness. Bigoted idiots.

If you, I, or any private citizen published a similar manifesto openly on social media, at the very least we'd be put on a watch list.
Not Karp/Palantir.
They'll get a tax break and billions of $ in government contracts.

And that's exactly what Musk, Thiel, Vought, et al want to get rid of.
Empathy.

They have empathy. They have so much empathy because they have to stand in others' shoes for their art and embody them.

I'd guess "Rock the Casbah" from Combat Rock (1982).

I only seriously got into home-cooking at a higher level once I retired from the military. I enjoy the "controlled chaos" as it centers me. But a TBI and nerve damage make me less dextrous.
It's ok, keep the jokes and helpful hints coming. I LOVE them!

And yeah, that's the tail end (or beginning) of a tattoo I picked up in the middle east that (in English) reads "The Future is Unwritten" which is my favorite quote by Joe Strummer of The Clash.
Ugh.
I am old.

Tattoo of a black rectangular "pong paddle" on the inside of my left wrist.

My oldest daughter got a 🍄 tattoo (Super Mario). So I got "pong paddle" tattoos on my inner wrists just to spite her. Lol.

She really pulled "bequeathing" out of her ass there, eh?

If you're looking to find the ingress point, leave out some food bait surrounded by flour...it'll point you in the right direction.

I'm GenX. Grew up in Ohio. Was ALWAYS at bars cuz mom worked at a bar. Old timers taught me how to play pool as soon as I could see over the rails.
Back in the day, you could drink @ 14 if your parent was there. Different times.

Try as I may, I still can't get that pan flip quite right.
(wife from the other room: you make a damn mess every time you try!)

Guess it's time to procure more ammunition.

As a long time late night worker and traveler, i've been to diners from DC to Detroit. From Naples FL to NYC. I can tell you straight up...
THE ABSOLUTE BEST DINER IN AMERICA IS...
the one that's open when you're hungry.
From Waffle House to mom & pop greasy spoons, every diner is special and loved

What was the text-based asylum one? I could never even get out of the ward you started in.

a game of ping pong with the numbers 15 and 12 ALT: a game of ping pong with the numbers 15 and 12

Does this one make me too old?

Some days you eat the bear. Other days, the bear eats you.

Wait...exactly how many sub vs sub battles have actually happened throughout history?

The pics posted by the USN are stock photos from Pentagon archives.

Death in the family tonight. Wife & stepdaughter are taking it hard.

Also: Integrity, honor, and empathy.
I was told a long time ago...
If you're gonna do something, think about it. If it would upset your grandmother if it ends up on the news, DON'T do it.

1.422 Billion Catholics globally. Not a number to be trifled with.

Rogue bear down off the ridge. 2nd night in a row. Young male, we've met before. Gonna have to safely scare him off.

Handjob. The word you were looking for is handjob.

Knock 3 times (on the ceiling if you want me)

Let's stop conflating the Israeli government and their brainwashed populace with Judaism as a whole.
The majority of Jews globally abhor the GENOCIDES, PLURAL, that Netanyahu is perpetrating.
His (and his regime's) activities are war crimes. He is perpetuating genocide that would make Hitler proud.

One of my porch cats just had an unexpected litter...three preemie tuxedo kittens ready to go in a few weeks once they're weaned.

A victim tends to sit.
I don't mean this as a critique of victims. I empathize. But, science says that victims sit. They have a whole lot to mentally & emotionally reckon with.
But when their victimizer aims for more power, they stand up to stop it and take back their agency.
Believe victims.
