that's so embarrassing. it's like they're Elon Musk and hate free players.

In that mindset, I kind of think recently the best way to troll the MTG types might be to just casually and consistently refer to them as "fake Americans" from "fake America". Their identity/persona is so wrapped around their America purism that it just kind of cuts to the core as you point out.

Also worth reminding MTG that, despite a GOP statehouse trifecta, her state did vote for Biden and has two Dem US Senators. So who gets custody of the swing states in the divorce?

It's possible because she's really dumb, but I interpreted in the moment as both being on the same side with regards to Ukraine.

She's pointing her finger at the libs and the neo-cons. There's a solid split in the party, where the MAGA/Trump people are isolationist and reject GWB/Dick Cheney stuff. https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1627723317657337860

The reality though is that it's not just a state-by-state divide, a lot of it is an urban/rural divide. So hypothetically splitting up the states wouldn't make everyone happy, it's a lot messier than that.

Oh man, you beat me to it. Here are the tweets that will become election fodder for the next 21 months: https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1627665203398688768 ttps://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1627726254320365569

Just hit level 41. Took 13 months of mostly daily minimal playing. But anyways, here are some promo codes for the three hoenn Regi encounters: 6X4H9UCA8F7TT YKG5ZPC4SLXAX 6AKRAV5WJN5FS

here's an [as] action one https://editthis.info/Asaction/Main_Page

Each chamber of Congress, as a separate and independent branch of government, has wide latitude to set its own rules and court are loathe to get involved. In this instance, the Constitution doesn't explicitly state members must be present in the room to constitute a quorum, and the emergency resolution stated that "any Member whose vote is cast or whose presence is recorded by a designated proxy under this resolution shall be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum under the rules of the House." No legitimate court is going to retroactively throw that out. Additionally, congressional business is conducted all the time without a quorum so if we're following the logic, it would have to invalidate probably 200 years' worth of congressional actions.

When *aren't* I wondering about @molarbear's broken penis?

Until two months ago, Metro-North/LIRR conductors weren't even able to get light duty assignments if they were pregnant.

No one thinks you're a roly molten chicken, we just want you to stop posting gibberish in Current Events.

pat's tongue this morning:

ORTHODONTICAL UPDATE I had my "final" appointment this morning where I got the cement nubs grinded off my teeth and they do a new scan to determine if any further refinements are needed. I don't know why I couldn't handle it this time, but I 100% had a mini panic attacks while she was grinding/polishing and had to stop a couple times and at one point went "WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT MY TONGUE" and they were like "just relax and breathe through your nose and the tongue will know what to do (spoiler alert: it didn't). I can still feel slightly residue that she'll have to polish off next time but my mouth isn't full of pokey cement nubs so yay I guess. Then the assistant took me into the other room for the 3D scan and I said "don't worry I won't freak out, there are no sharp moving parts" but then she babied me through the entire thing (think like lots of "ok I'm going to move it right here and there will be a little bit of pressure" and lots of "great job!") and it was frankly a little embarrassing even though no one else was there. Like it's just a square plastic wand. Then as the scan compiled she was like "it'll be just a minute ok? There's an emergency we have to take care of and then we'll be right back. So I have no idea if I was allowed to, but I started zooming in and playing with the scans on the touch screen monitor for the ten minutes I was alone and then when the dentist came back I was able to make a more compelling argument that I will need additional refinements for my front-most teeth because she didn't believe me earlier and she said ok. SO THE STORY CONTINUES

I thought I saw something somewhere several days ago about them wanting to recover the wreckage in the shallow water off the east coast rather than the super deep water off Alaska, but I have no idea where I read that so I can't really stand by it.

What?

Maybe they need a forum to test it out on.

Wanted to share this YouTube channel that popped up in my recommendations a few weeks ago. It's this professional composer named Geebz who makes videos listening to music outside of his normal universe of music (he's got a couple other channels that I haven't explored), and he got himself caught in the YouTube algorithm once he started doing videos on anime themes and video game OSTs. The video game stuff picked up enough that he jumped into doing live Twitch streams. It's a super simple concept but there was just something wholesome and smiley about seeing an old guy listen to super nostalgic nerd stuff that he's never even heard of until making the video, and then tell you why it's great. A couple examples that I watched:

This is a forum, not a blog. There have been significant changes since you were last here which have improved the atmosphere, and our patience for your brand of nonsense is limited. If you don't actually want to talk about whatever the news item was that triggered this and just want to ramble your political opinion on something you won't actually articulate so that other people can talk about the substance, then I think we're done here.
