Oh no!

I'm with Disco. The concept of a "2nd Amendment Jurisdiction" is certainly apropos for the situation given that it's a local jurisdiction attempting to regulate interstate functions even if it's not specifically about bestowing or releasing rights that are not theirs to give or take. First off, how do you ask a company in California that provides service in Montana to restrict access to a product that is legal in California? Apple's App Store isn't hosted in Montana, nor are any of the programmers who work on it. Furthermore, whereas app stores might be restricted by region, they are restricted based on where that region hosts its servers and where international law limits access to applications for users in that region. No such restriction exists inside of the United States, only outside of it. You can't legally build an internet firewall in a place where no such firewall is feasible.

The problem is the Celts lost the first game last round and still pulled it out. They get way more respect than they deserve though. I mean, beating the Sixers isn’t going to get you kudos.

You can’t say either Hatshepsut or Nefertiti was any stronger than Cleopatra because they don’t exist beyond their names. We probably know more about Cleopatra than we do about either of them, so why is either more compelling than she is?

Cup of coffee please. Got an early start today.

So what’s your opinion of Flash?

What do you mean by "African Queen" then?

Oh cool. So glad you could respond before reading the next three or four posts.

Both Hatshepsut and Nefertiti were more akin to Cleopatra as outsiders in that respect, and the former two we know even less about because there was an active attempt to erase them from history.

Happy Birthday !

Naturally. The absurdity is trying to put such importance on that era in Egyptian history. The Ptolemaic dynasty was a restoration response to the preceding dilution by Persian invaders, a kind of low budget emulation of a vaunted past. Cleopatra wasn’t trying to make Egypt Greek, she was using the Cult of the Pharaoh to maintain her tenuous hold on power. It hardly matters what her actual ethnicity was because she was culturally an imposter.

I mean, him not knowing how words work is part of his charm. What fascinates me is that every discussion about this particular production inevitably centers on “But, she’s Greek!” while somehow ignoring the facts that Macedonian Greeks typically followed the lead of their king Alex and intermarried into their new conquered lands and Egyptian royalty was a mere six centuries from an unambiguously black dynasty.

Who knew a post that started with Yeezy and Hitler in the same joke would somehow go downhill?

I also think this is a great idea.

I think I speak for everyone who knows him but isn’t friends on social media…. We all kind of assumed it was a matter of time before his out-of-control drug use was going to catch up with him.

I dunno. I don’t think any of my devices will run JAVA.

Blocked!

Did you update your Flash? Because there is no possible way that could be a virus from 2008.

Military Hottie faked his own death like months ago.

I’m part Italian, so it’s mostly tongue-in-cheek. But, Italians are an arrogant bunch to be sure, so it’s fun to drag them.

Italians don’t count. They think they invented every food ever.

I really hate those videos.

I am somewhat mystified how they came up with the 8:30 EDT start time.
