Tastes like chicken, I’m told. || “The ladders have since been replaced with stairs.” || He’s smouldering, I think. || Today’s word is daylight. || Setting the bar quite low, I fear. || Go with what works, I guess. || Let’s go to Pilates. || The progressive retail experience, parts 699 and 700. || “On YouTube, there are video demonstrations of how to make a portable bidet using a plastic soda bottle.” || Question asked. || A choir made up of people who’ve had their voice boxes removed. || Adventures in bicycling. || Scenes from Bolton. || Little foot soldiers. || Fowl smothered in oysters and other hearty fare, 1796. || “Of course I want there to be a replacement.” || “They’re not my ancestors, I don’t care.” || Headline of note. || And in military news. || Mostly rubber. || And finally, on leaving residue.

The deliberate disconnect of peoples from their history is a mark of totalitarian projects.
He left out gulags.
Built in head tilt.
It’s amazing how quickly your principles can dry up and blow away
What I also find amazing is how hard it is to find a statement about this on their own websites news/press release section. A search on gender currently brings up discrimination articles and stuff from years ago. What is THEIR actual statement?
Because the AMA is run by political types, not physicians–activists, administrators, mediocre physicians seeking advancement, etc.
Well, most of the ones in the public eye are, because they are political rather than medical in their hearts.
Recall Theodore Dalrymple’s numerous articles about the state of the medical profession: How British hospitals are run, the political correctness which has infected even the most prestigious medical journals, etc.
This is either Broken Windows Policing made famous by William Bratton in NYC, or more recently Bukeleism. Either way you’re going to have to make liberals cry for normal people to live their lives in safety and without fear.
Although those are reincarnations of very old policing policies, albeit backed up with systematic data.
Kentucky Fried Lizards?
Lesson: Do not politely engage with black trespassers–or any antisocial blacks. Call the police immediately.
If you are sufficiently well armed you can alter that policy according to circumstances, but you should still call the police first.
Ah, yes. I believe that is known as “fascism” now.

Well, not everyone but certainly more than is comfortable. I started noticing how deep this problem is when my former doctor retired about 10-12 years ago and I had to find a new one. It was not necessarily the sociopathic stuff, but the high degree of arrogance that many seem unaware they possess that I started noticing. When Covid hit and some of the early deranged videos came out or when engaging in discussion on social media with nurses and other medical personnel, it was quite clear to me very early on that there were serious problems. That the transy stuff was not just the odd bird here and there. Most of the saner ones in the profession have their heads buried in the sand. Don’t want to admit how bad the problem is because it would hurt their egos. Don’t want to talk about it, just pretend it’s not a problem and…well…these things have means of talking care of themselves.
Kentucki Fried Lizzard Partes.
As with the coyotes, the karens are freaking out on social media about killing the poor iguanas. The state of Florida, you know the one run by sooooper conservative Ron DeSantis, even goes to significant effort and expense to “humanely euthanize” the ones “turned in”. Suggestions for turning loose an army of 12 yo boys with Red Ryder carbine action 200 shot bb guns are met with disdain.

Band name. Obviously.
I can’t believe it’s real.
From the comments…let’s see if this works…

OK…retry the old way…
A Zelazny scholar!
“Cascade Middle School in Washington took kids to an anti-ICE protest during school WITHOUT INFORMING PARENTS.”
Taking children to protest against the arrest of – oh yes – child molesters.
Also, imagine the hubris.
I now live in a fairly rural area, and my bank is a small local one in a town of about 2500 people. It is still a happy surprise to go in and see the tellers behind regular counters, and you can talk to them face-to-face, no bulletproof glass.
They shouldn’t be dragging the kids into any political activities. That’s far outside their legitimate responsibilities–not that you can find many liberals who see anything wrong it it.
I don’t know why but this came to mind.
This is why your grandparents should never be left alone.

Rectum? Damn near killed ‘im!
Sorry, it was just lying there, waiting to be said.
I’m wondering whether to partake of a rhubarb and ginger gin and tonic.
I need guidance.
[ Awaits wisdom of crowd. ]
For reference purposes.
Where are the rhubarb and ginger flavours coming from? The gin? The tonic? Or are they being added separately?
Never mind.
I’d give it a go! But be prepared to have more than one.
I thought you were mixing it yourself.
They’re in the gin.
We’re not savages.

He will be after I set him on fire.
Additional information.
They should feel that way on their way to prison, but they’re not being sent.
Go for it. But keep careful notes. For science.
[ Shouts across living room. ]
THEY SAID I CAN HAVE ONE.
Just not a purist. There are Rhubarb and Ginger syrups. Drinking a pre-mix from a can is a little savage-adjacent. Just sayin’.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of this rhubarb and ginger gin and tonic.
This is very familiar to all of use, I believe:
This would be a perfectly valid argument if the people being brought on as replacements are not also fascists and racists.
rhubarb and ginger gin and tonic
Dang that sounds really good. So far I have not found it here in the southern US, but I haven’t scoped out the big liquor store near me. Now I have a brand, and syrup also to look for, I may have to revisit.
Gator is interesting. It has a very mild flavour, not unlike chicken, but the meat has the texture of scallops.
Sleep, diet, exercise, in that order.
Drugging them with exogenous hormones and puberty blockers is still okay though.
I am writing a philosophical romance shot through with elements of horror and morbidity. I work on those parts down here.
I’d prefer to witness the nemesis. With popcorn.
Exactly. Goes against a couple of my principles but…now I am wondering if I can find it here. Just…I’m….you know…R&G curious. I’m sure just a taste won’t hurt. I can quit it whenever I want, right? Riiiight?
