@morgfair The idea that a US Congressperson should call a US Undersecretary of Defense onto the carpet and attempt to make him answerable to the propaganda of a rival military power in a matter where its interests run contrary to ours...

Seems like damn near an impeachable offense.

@JohnShirley2023 But on the plus side as long as you're paid up they'll be like the TARDIS: not always going you where you tell it, but always to where you need to be.

@SwiftOnSecurity This is what I get for not lunching at the cool kids table

@SwiftOnSecurity "Information that may hurt you" is weird framing. Not being informed would hurt you.. The information is about something that has already hurt you or is going to.

@ludlowmortimer @furiousrobot Labour's still, incredibly, pro-Brexit.

@JohnShirley2023 When you scroll through to the various other topics you notice a lot of seemingly neutral stuff about green energy... but they always seem to find a way to cast doubt in the last paragraph. Funny how that works, eh?

@JohnShirley2023 And you won't have missed this dilly of an attribution below the headline:

@JohnShirley2023 Yes, let's reduce solar intensity just when we're trying to transition to renewables like solar energy, and oh yes, grow food for 8+ billion people as well as enable what's left of our forests to sequester some of that carbon. F'ing brilliant.

@JamesGleick

Clearly it should point to:

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone...

@GregArcus @Popehat The important part was "festival of incontinence." What an image. Oh to be a mop salesman.

@FrenchHist @harphat

I wonder if that's why the Auld Alliance was dissolved 30-some years, earlier: a schism between Scotch and Bourbon.

"The Oregon Ghost Conference is the Northwest's largest paranormal convention and attracts visitors from all across the west coast and beyond."

From beyond, or from THE beyond?????

@RollingStone Now do the Nicene Creed

@JohnShirley2023

OTOH if reincarnation is real, surely many if not most of us are ghosts inhabiting our latest meatsuit.

@JohnShirley2023 I hope they have healthy snacks at the concession stand, like these ghost apples:

@JohnShirley2023 For hell's sake:

Harrelson said ... he is “one who doesn't believe in the germ theory."

Which theory does he believe, then? Miasmas? Witchcraft? God proving our love to Satan like in the Book of Job?

@stevesilberman Mmm, many of us who ultimately got fed up and disgusted by his bigotry and far-right incel-pandering dribble used to think quite well of his comic strip.

@Popehat Here's one you won't hear very often with respect to London: Canal boat tour. March is a bit early but it should still be pretty nice.

Flying the Ukraine flag from the front of the house today.
