Maybe that's why people leave his rallies in droves. The breeze starts blowing the wrong way, and the crowds get his diaper+BO stank right in their faces.

The wiser thing would have been for Trump to just ignore her and move along. But when has wisdom ever got in the way of Donald Trump.

One-nil to the Arsenal. With some of our key midfielders missing and Arteta having to rework the lineup, against a good opposition at their place, in one of the most fiercely-contested derbies in the world. Great result for us!

They are too used to the typical news cycle where they bombard the public with lies to the point where everyone starts believing those are real. They've grown complacent.

Grilling chicken in Ohio, eh? Hmm, I hear there's a huge orange chicken who is scared to have a second debate because he got so badly humiliated in the first one. He might want to stay away from Ohio since they are grilling his kind.

Opus Dei has had a huge influence on the post-liberal right movement. And you can't get more tone deaf to really anything than Opus Dei. They don't give a shit about context or history or regional/national concerns. They are the proverbial hammer that sees everything as a nail.

I say the following not for you (the person I'm replying to), but for others who may read this...

Some people refer to the Catholic Church as a cult, but really the church is a broad umbrella of competing subgroups that share common beliefs yet approach most topics with pretty different perspectives (a great example being the more science-based Jesuits versus other anti-science and ultra-superstitious orders).

That said, there are cults within the Catholic Church. And Opus Dei is probably the biggest and most extreme one. They want to impose their fanatical dogma not only on the rest of the church, but also on the world. They are a cancer on global society.

What an absurd word soup of mental gymnastics. I genuinely think he might have have dementia.

Excellent article.

So basically you have the post-liberal right movement (who are ultra-religious Catholic zealots) slyly co-opting both the MAGA movement and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 plans to push their own agenda, which is even more extend than either of the other two. Eesh!

Lincoln would probably be the best option for comedic content. Though Uncle Sam works probably work pretty well too.

 

Not sure I totally agree with the article writer. But it provides food for thought.

 

The attempted murderer took issue with the fact that the girl and the rest of her family were Palestinians and speaking in a different language.

 

Interesting article about the struggles two linguists had taking Frank Herbert's eclectic Fremen words and turning them into a working conlang (constructed language) for the new movies.

 

FIFA is set to block the introduction of blue cards and 'sin bins'.

 

Looks like some on the right-wing have a new fictional bogeymen to blame shootings on.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone knows if/when the server will be coming back online?

I know it's been pretty quiet in the server recently, but I sure hope this isn't a permanent goodbye to it, as there's a lot of really cool stuff on there, and the community vibe was second-to-none.

Is it just a little break until interest picks up again?

Edit: it's up again as of around Jan 12th. The server basically went down and nobody either realized it or knew what was going on. Thanks to those who run the server. It's very much appreciated, and now we know to ping you guys if it happens again. :-)

Edit 2: to clarify, nobody let the admins know that the server was down, so they didn't know there was a problem.
